Source and Early Access note
Tool and equipment names, functions and crafting locations are paraphrased from the official Subnautica 2 wiki Tools and Equipment pages. Subnautica 2 is in active Early Access, so this roster is the launch build as of June 20, 2026 and Unknown Worlds will add more gear across the planned multi-year Early Access window. Oxygen and speed values can change between patches, so re-check the wiki after major updates before committing to a loadout plan.
