Gear into routes

Check the route before crafting around a tool

Equipment searches usually turn into resource, depth or patch questions. Use these pages before assuming a route from an older guide still works.

Start Beginner

First route after the Lifepod

Filter to confirmed markers, run the first Silver and Old Habitat line, then add community markers only after you can return safely.

Open
Depth Depth bands

Match biome depth to gear

Check shallow-to-deep biome order and danger levels before pushing a co-op group or fresh save into a new zone.

Open
Patch Hotfix 4 impact

Re-check route changes after hotfixes

Use patch notes when a progression blocker, base current, Xbox option or mod compatibility issue behaves differently from an older build.

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.
