Subnautica 2 continues to go strong after its initial release into early access. The game has a ton of content, but some issues as well. The best way to solve those problems is by using Subnautica 2 mods that will completely change your experience of the game for the better. So, here are the best Subnautica 2 mods that you should definitely try.
A List of All the Best Subnautica 2 Mods
Here is a list of all the best mods to try out in Subnautica 2, which provides a quick overview of what they do in the game:
Name Description FOV Slider Adds an FOV Slider to the game. Expanded Inventory Unlocks all possible inventory slots at the start of the game. Simple Minimap Adds a simple minimap in the game to help navigate. Killable Creatures Allows players to kill every creature. Scanner Station Range Extender Extends the Scanner Station’s range by 200 meters. Can be configured. Extra Biomod Slots Increases the number of passive biomod slots. Can be configured. Too Many Divers Allows up to 16 player co-op in a single session. Instant Scan Makes the scanning process complete instantly. Persistent Loot Keep all your items when you die. Console Commands Enables the cheat menu/console command functionality in the game.
Killable Creatures
A major complaint from the community, excluding Subnautica 2’s EULA backlash, has been the non-killable creatures in the game. Subnautica 2 creatures cannot be killed, which is not going well with many players in the community. This was a feature back in the first Subnautica, allowing players to slice and dice even the biggest of Leviathans in the game. The developers have made it clear that they have no plans to add killable creatures in the game, so you can use this mod to enable it instead.
FOV Slider
If you are not enjoying the game’s default FoV, then there is not much you can do, as Subnautica 2 lacks an FoV slider. However, the FoV slider mod adds it to the game, letting you change the character’s FoV as you want. Players who feel nauseated and cannot play first-person games without an FoV slider should definitely get this Subnautica 2 mod.
Expanded Inventory
Tired of the small inventory of your character at the start of the game? Subnautica 2 doesn’t stack materials, which makes it very annoying when you are farming those Necrolei Cysts early in the game. Using this Subnautica 2 mod, you unlock all the inventory slots right at the start of the game. This will make your farming and exploration much more efficient.
Simple Minimap
Subnautica 2 lacks a map, which is part of its underwater navigation. The game rewards players for using beacons or other markers to locate their surroundings, and I personally love it. However, not everyone likes the lack of a map in the game, and I have seen many new players complain about it. So, use the Simple Minimap mod to add a small minimap to the game, helping you navigate the ocean with less of a hassle.
Too Many Divers
The addition of multiplayer is a big reason for the huge Subnautica 2 player count. However, the game only allows up to 4-player co-op as of yet. With the help of this mod, you can remove the 4-player limiter and add up to 16 players in one session. This might lead to some complications with so many players in the game, but you can definitely give it a try if you have a bigger group than four people.
Scanner Station Range Extender
Scanner Station Range Extender is an amazing QoL Subnautica 2 mod. It greatly increases the scan range of your scanner station, making it much easier to locate all the resources around you. The mod increases the range to 200 metres, which is more than enough to cover a large part of the ocean. If you don’t want such a huge scan range, then you can configure the range also in the mod.
Extra Biomod Slots
Biomods are a great addition to Subnautica 2, acting as unique skills that you can equip on your character. Sadly, there are limited Biomod slots, forcing you to nitpick them based on their effectiveness. With this Subnautica 2 mod, you can expand the Biomod slots, allowing you to equip more without any issue.
Instant Scan
Are you also tired of chasing fast fishes to complete your scan? Then you should definitely use the Instant Scan Subnautica 2 mod. This mod makes scanning instantaneous, greatly saving your time and effort when scanning fishes in the game. I personally find this to be one of the best Subnautica 2 mods, and many of you will likely also feel the same.
Persistent Loot
Dying in Subnautica 2 can be quite punishing. When you die in the game, certain materials are dropped at your death location. Although these can be looted back by heading to the same area, if you die in a faraway place or don’t remember the direction to it, then you will effectively lose all of those materials. So, use the Persistent Loot mod and never lose any of your materials on death.
Console Commands
Last but not least, the Console Commands mod allows players to access the in-game console and use the Subnautica 2 console commands. The current state of the game doesn’t give players access to the console, so anyone who loves tweaking numbers or applying cheats doesn’t get to do it in the game. This mod unlocks the console, making it very necessary to have in the game.
