9 Things I Wish I Knew Before Playing Subnautica 2

Kotaku published a beginner guide for Subnautica 2’s Early Access launch, focusing on practical early-game survival and building tips.

The advice includes making a minimal first base, placing power near currents, and using power transmitters, solar panels, or a hydroelectric turbine efficiently.

Players are also warned to avoid the untested edge of the map, since it is still unfinished and can be risky to explore.

The guide explains how to recover items after death and recommends unlocking the Tadpole vehicle early to speed up progression.
