Subnautica 2 Bullethead

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.

⚡ Subnautica 2 Bullethead — Survival Tips

  • Break sharply sideways the moment a Bullethead locks into a charge run — they cannot correct mid-charge.
  • Bulletheads are significantly more dangerous in confined spaces where lateral movement is restricted; extra caution in canyon terrain.
