In fact, some armor sets come with traits that bestow additional effects. These can be an increase in Stamina regeneration, invisibility, and plenty more. Threat, or Major Threat, is one particular effect that can cause some problems. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The Major Threat effect is tied largely to the Acorn Armor set, a Heavy Armor set that at first glance seems like great early-game equipment. If you do decide to don the armor, you should know exactly what Major Threat involves.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"mcetoc_1hrgrq3jg2\">Major Threat Effect In Grounded Explained<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"img-figure\" contenteditable=\"false\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 100%;\" contenteditable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-cf.ginx.tv\/imgcdn\/0YxjqybMbt27OgTqcRoje78lI1pB5freCh7-ZHgH1Ew\/rs:fill:0:0:1\/g:ce\/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ2lueC50di91cGxvYWRzMy82NjFkMWVhZTgwY2MyLVdpa2lBcm1vci53ZWJw\" alt=\"661d1eae80cc2-WikiArmor.webp\" width=\"1000\" height=\"563\" loading=\"lazy\"><figcaption contenteditable=\"false\">The Acorn Armor adds 20% Major Threat.

So, if a Larva is fighting a Stinkbug, the bugs are 20% more likely to ignore the threat and attack you instead.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a term you&#8217;ll commonly hear when playing MMORPGs, when one member of the party pulls threat so that less resilient members are ignored by enemies. You&#8217;ll need to be able to withstand a beating, hence why the effect is found on the Acorn Armor. This is a good tactic if you&#8217;re <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ginx.tv\/en\/video-games\/how-to-play-grounded-multiplayer-with-friends\">playing with friends<\/a>, as one player can pull attention, while the others focus on dealing damage.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"mcetoc_1hrgrq3jg3\">+Minor Threat In Grounded Explained<\/h3>\n<p>On the opposite side of things, there&#8217;s a status effect called +Minor Threat.
