Ocean & Underwater
Diving, underwater labs, submarines, fishing, and ocean monument strategies.
01Diving Equipment
To explore underwater, you need specific gear:
Diving Mask — Allows clear underwater vision (otherwise blurry) Diving Tank — Provides 10 minutes of breathing underwater Diving Fins — Doubles swim speed underwater Wetsuit — Provides cold protection while diving
All diving gear can be found at harbors, fishing villages, and underwater loot crates. Without a diving tank, you have about 30 seconds of breath before drowning.
02Underwater Labs
Underwater Labs are procedurally generated monuments found beneath the ocean. Each server has a unique layout.
Key features: - Accessed via moonpool entrances (swim up into them) - Scientists patrol the corridors - Loot scales with lab size (number of modules) - Blue card puzzles unlock the best loot areas - Multiple labs per map at different locations
Bring: Diving gear, weapons, medical supplies, a boat parked above, and a blue keycard + fuses.
- •Park your boat directly above the moonpool entrance
- •Scientists can be kited around corners — they don't follow well
- •The moonpool acts as a safe breathing point between sections
- •Check all side rooms — many contain hidden military crates
03Submarines
Submarines are purchased at Fishing Villages and are the best way to access underwater content.
Solo Sub (200 Scrap): 1 seat, torpedo slot, basic diving platform Duo Sub (300 Scrap): 2 seats, torpedo bay, more HP
Submarines use Low Grade Fuel and can dive/surface with controls. They have a built-in depth gauge and oxygen supply. Torpedoes can damage other boats and underwater structures.
04Fishing
Fishing is a peaceful way to earn food and scrap. Use a Fishing Rod with bait near water.
Bait quality affects catch quality: - Worms: Common fish - Grubs: Better fish - Minnows: Best bait for large catches
Fish can be cooked for food or sold at Fishing Villages for scrap. Rare catches include boots, guitars, and other items.
- •The ocean yields better fish than rivers
- •Fishing Village vendors buy all fish for scrap
- •Perfect for solo players who want safe scrap income
- •Combine with a kayak for a zero-risk scrap farm
