Subnautica 2 Interactive Map

Public walkthroughs describe early locations by distance and direction from the Lifepod, so this atlas keeps the pod as the zero point rather than claiming a game-engine coordinate origin.

GameSpot identifies the Welcome Center as the first Survival Mode destination. PC Gamer also places useful early scans around the same ruin.

Bearing: About 150 degrees southeast from the Lifepod.

Unlocks: Habitat Builder route, Biolab access, southwest wreck follow-up

This is the follow-up stop that ties the Welcome Center to Dive Elevator, Beacon, Tadpole progress, Power Cell, and Strong Acid planning.

Bearing: 210 to 240 degrees southwest from the Welcome Center.

Unlocks: Dive Elevator route, Beacon route, Tadpole start

Hands-on guide context for planning; confirm exact coordinates in your save before treating them as fixed.

Unlocks: Tadpole progress, Power Cell planning, Strong Acid planning

Hands-on guide context for planning; confirm exact coordinates in your save before treating them as fixed.

This detour is close to the southwest wreck, but the important early rewards are the wreck scans. Keep Air Bladder and oxygen discipline in mind before dropping deeper.

Bearing: Near the 210 to 240 degree southwest wreck route.

Unlocks: Deep-water practice

Hands-on guide context for planning; confirm exact coordinates in your save before treating them as fixed.
