Subnautica 2 Bullethead
Fish · Multiple Biomes · Subnautica 2 current build
Overview
A torpedo-shaped predatory fish with a blunt, heavily reinforced cranium used in stunning charges. Bulletheads hunt alone, using fast lateral bursts to build ramming momentum before committing to a charge run. The charge is a single-direction commitment — if it misses, the Bullethead requires several seconds to decelerate and reorient before another attempt.
Subnautica 2 Bullethead — Behavior
Solitary predator that initiates a high-speed charge when a target enters its detection range. The charge is powerful and fast but predictable once learned — a lateral break during the approach window usually causes an overshoot. Reset window of 4–6 seconds after a missed charge.
