Beacon

HarvestMaterial

Overview

Ultrasound buoy. Marks position with a signal. Manage with PDA. While not currently linked to any crafting recipe as an ingredient, Beacon has direct applications in survival gameplay and may gain additional crafting uses as Subnautica 2 development continues through Early Access. As an intermediate material, Beacon represents processed potential — raw resources transformed into something more useful but not yet a final product. Subnautica 2's crafting depth comes from these middle-tier items that require planning to maintain in adequate supply.

How to Obtain

Biome data pending — obtained by harvest

Tips & Strategy

Keep Beacon organized in labeled storage near your primary crafting station — maintaining an ordered inventory prevents wasted time searching for materials during urgent crafts.

Explore different biomes systematically to discover all Beacon sources — harvested organic resources often appear near specific flora or fauna, and identifying these associations makes future gathering predictable.

Consider the full material chain before gathering Beacon — some prerequisite resources are harder to find than others, and identifying the bottleneck ingredient first prevents wasted effort on materials you cannot yet process.
