Bullet Ant is a verified Grow A Colony unlock through the official Unlock Bullet Ant badge. A screenshot-backed current walkthrough reports 85 PTS in the colony selector on August 28, 2026. Because that is a community snapshot, verify the live threshold before beginning a longer save. The badge confirms the entity but does not publish cost, abilities, or comparative strength.
Confirm the target and avoid accidental spending
Open the colony selector and read the Bullet Ant card. Note the current Points amount, prerequisites, and where selection occurs. Decide whether earlier colony unlocks are part of your goal or would only delay Bullet Ant. Do not assume Army or Fire Ant must be bought first unless the current menu explicitly connects them.
Keep Food and Points mentally separate. Spend Food on the units needed to sustain a run; protect Points for the colony target. If the game offers another Points purchase, compare it with the remaining gap before confirming.
Use a sustainable grind
Measure Points from actual activities. Write down the balance, complete one objective, and check again. Repeat the route that is safe, fast enough, and reproducible under your current colony. The public description confirms combat against creatures and colonies but does not provide a universal Points table.
Maintain Worker deliveries so each attempt can fund defenders and replacements. Refill Water, stage fighters with Follow, and avoid an engagement that risks the Queen for an unknown gain. A longer target such as the community-reported Bullet Ant cost rewards consistency more than a fragile high-risk loop.
Verify the unlock cleanly
At the live threshold, return to the selector, confirm the Bullet Ant name, and unlock once. Wait for the card and balance to update. Check whether Roblox awards the official badge. Then select the colony or start a new run according to the interface.
Rejoin once to confirm persistence. If the badge was awarded but the selector appears unchanged, allow the game state to reload before contacting any support surface. Do not attempt another charge without checking the Points balance and ownership state.
Test without assuming a power tier
Run a controlled opening with the same map route and objective used for another colony. Observe starting position, available units, Food stability, visible abilities, and performance against the same kind of target. A higher unlock requirement does not automatically prove higher damage or universal superiority.
Do not import Bullet Ant mechanics from Empires of the Undergrowth, The Ants, or another Roblox experience. This guide covers Universe 10601273666 only. The current Grow A Colony UI is the source for any ability or stat claim.
Recover from a slow or changed route
If the expected 85 PTS threshold has changed, update your plan to the live amount. If Points stop increasing, test one complete objective and compare before and after instead of continuing a blind loop. If repeated fights consume Food faster than the colony rebuilds, switch to a safer target or spend a session improving route stability.
If the selector shows Bullet Ant but the unlock action is unavailable, read for a prerequisite or session condition. Capture the full message; “not enough Points,” “requires previous unlock,” and “select next run” require different fixes.
Bullet Ant checklist
- Verify creator, Place, and current Bullet Ant selector card.
- Record the live threshold and any prerequisite.
- Keep a repeatable Worker Food loop.
- Measure Points from one activity at a time.
- Avoid unrelated Points spending during the save.
- Unlock once, check the card, badge, and balance.
- Rejoin and test the colony under matching conditions.
Before calling the unlock complete, also check whether the live selector labels it as owned, selected, or merely affordable. Those states are different. Ownership should survive the rejoin; selection may belong only to the next run. Keeping the states separate makes it easier to diagnose a delayed menu without risking a second Points charge.
