Catch Bugs Nets & Upgrades

Net upgrades are the fastest progression lever in Catch Bugs. Each Catch Bugs net trades luck, strength and weight capacity differently — the wrong net wastes hours of grinding. This Catch Bugs nets guide lists every confirmed net, what it costs, where it lives and which Catch Bugs zone it earns out the fastest.

Catch Bugs net order — at a glance

For most Catch Bugs runs the order is simple: Starter → Fast Net (8K) → Royal Net (76K) → mid-tier (Demon / Hellfire / Black Hole) → Scorpion Net (250M) or Bone Net (200M) → April-2026 Dark Matter / Nuclear endgame. Bone Net adds luck for rare hunting; Scorpion Net adds strength for big-bug catches. Most endgame Catch Bugs players carry both.

How to choose your next Catch Bugs net

Picking the right next Catch Bugs net depends on what's bottlenecking you. If you're missing rares you can already see, you need luck — a Bone Net (200M) is the obvious upgrade once you've cleared the Secret Tomb. If you can see big bugs but cannot capture them, you need strength and weight capacity — Scorpion Net (250M) is the textbook Catch Bugs answer.

Mid-game Catch Bugs players are usually limited by swing speed and the Crawlwood / Moon Hollow grind, where the 76,000-cash Royal Net is the most cost-efficient jump. Don't skip Royal Net just because you've seen Bone Net videos.

Endgame Catch Bugs net loadouts

Luck loadout

Equip the Bone Net (200,000,000), stack Sandstorm or Solar lures during the matching weather event, and slot Rune buffs that boost rare-spawn chances. Best for hunting Cave Mother, Solar Locust, Crescent Wing Butterfly and the Secret Tomb's elusive spawns.

Strength loadout

Equip the Scorpion Net (250,000,000), prioritise weight-capacity Runes, and grind Dune Burrow plus the April-2026 Desert. Best for hunting Colossal Sandworm, Thousand Scorpion and any heavy-tier bug the Bone Net can't lift.

Where Catch Bugs net stats are still missing

Catch Bugs does not publish a public spec sheet for nets. Costs for the Fast Net (8,000) and Royal Net (76,000) come from a single progression video — we mark those as needs_check until cross-checked. Catch Bugs Bone Net and Scorpion Net costs are confirmed in multiple sources and are verified. April-2026 nets (Demon, Nuclear, Dark Matter, Black Hole) are confirmed by RoUniverse but exact costs and stats remain needs_check.
