Reddit user Pettyfan45 recently shared a top-down screenshot from theirAnimal Crossing: New Horizonsvillage that focuses on two of the larger patches of weeds, a rock, and a few trees. Between theAnimal CrossingVillagerand the nearest tree are two squares of the map’s grid that have weeds on them that form the number 2 on a slight angle. Easily compared to the other types ofAnimal Crossing: New Horizonsweeds that players may discover, Pettyfan45’s screenshot includes a few different patterns of weeds that are less visibly distinguishable than the ones pointed out by the Reddit user.
Because weeds inAnimal Crossing: New Horizonsoften sprout next to each other, the ones that form a 2 may usually be surrounded on all sides to hide the symbol more effectively than in Pettyfan45’s image. Some fans could have already created unique designs of the number throughAnimal Crossing: New Horizons' Able Sisterslocation, but they may also be able to create a 2 naturally using existing weeds simply by ignoring them. Given that Pettyfan45 only shared an image of the 2 weeds, it’s currently unclear whether picking them up will change the pattern back to the basic one upon planting them in the ground again or not.
ManyAnimal Crossing: New Horizonsfans may have walked by or picked up weeds similar to the one spotlighted by Pettyfan45 without a second glance, but upon seeing the 2, it may be difficult to see anything else in the weeds. Because it takes a fewdays inAnimal Crossing: New Horizonsfor weeds to grow large enough to create patches as big as in Pettyfan45’s image, players looking to replicate the 2 aesthetic may have to wait around for a while before they’ll sprout.
