Subnautica 2 Vehicles

Vehicles in Subnautica 2 extend your dive depth beyond swimming limits and unlock access to deep biomes, story locations, and late-game resources. The Tadpole submarine is the primary vehicle in the current release build — built at the Vehicle Fabricator and upgradeable through the Modification Station.

Submarine

Crush depth: 250mUpgraded: 600m

The Tadpole is the primary personal submarine in Subnautica 2, built at the Vehicle Fabricator inside your habitat. It extends your effective dive depth to 250m stock and much deeper with upgrades, provides a pressurized cabin for extended sessions, and features an integrated storage bay. The Tadpole is required to reach the Tadpole Pens — the key late-game story location ~1,800m east of the Lifepod — and is essential for deep resource runs beyond 150m.
