Freeplay Mode

Freeplay Mode is one of the features you can have on Bugsnax. In this, you can capture Bugsnax that will regenerate over 3 seconds, so you can catch as many as you want. Also, you can pick a Grumpus to play as, and it's multiplayer. You can also build things. Emotes and voicelines are present as well. Also, side quests are absent and you can do what you want, when you want.

The only side quests you can get here are in the freeplay tutorial.

Emotes
You can activate these by pushing down the right joystick on the D-pad. You can do things like calling, dancing and more.

You can also use emoticons.

Voice Lines

You can press the square and triangle buttons to activate these. Choose from hats, face accessories, hand items, torso wear, leg wear, shoes and shoulder items.

When you First Open It

 * Filbo: Hello you. You may wonder what you're doing here. We have made a grumpus-made island by making mountains, forests, rivers and more. You can make your own house here, have fun with your friends, dress up, and... even play as me! Well, you can play as the grumpusses, even Lizbert. So, enjoy playing around here... With a group, more or less.

Building

 * Wambus: I hope ya like raisin' your own farm, buildin' your own house and havin' a party with some pals, then, get to construction. You can pick from walls, roofs, doors, windows, decorations, furniture and more. Materials galore for this. You can make a Bugsnak restaurant, doctor's office, cinema or just a house if you're good with that.

Emotes

 * Beffica: OMG, dancing! I'd love to tell you about this. These are emotes you can preform. Wether you want to dance, grab attention or express yourself, just find an emote and go to town! Also, dancing reminds me! I had some alternative rock/pop punk band back in middle school with some friends called "Tiger's Claw"... Brings back so much memories of being the lead guitarist and singer... Oh, like, back on topic. Each Grumpus has their own emote. Like me, I have the "Dolphin" dance. Wambus has the "Pony" dance, and Floofty has the "Robogrump" dance. With all that said, happy emoting!

Voice Lines

 * Wiggle: If you're a speaker or a singer, then ♪ try out the voice lines! ♪ Here, you'll find 20 lines for each Grumpus. Either comical, cynical or any other adjective, these voicelines can get ♪ crazy addictive! ♪ If you prefer YOUR voice, then hit the road with voice chat! Now, ♪ let's get loud! ♪

Dress Up

 * Cromdo: I loved dressin' up as a Bunger when I was your age. Now, you can see me in that costume again in Dress Up! Y'see, you pick from head items, face items, shoulder items, torso items, hand items, leg wear and footwear! Now, if you'll excuse me, time to get my Bung on!
