Creative Mode - Health, hunger, thirst, oxygen and temperature are disabled, all the crafting blueprints are available at the start, and no resources are required to craft.Hardcore Mode - Just like survival, but if the player dies, the player will not respawn and their save file is deleted.Freedom Mode - Just like survival, but with hunger and thirst disabled.Upon death, they respawn, but certain items are lost from their inventory. Survival - The player must manage health, hunger, thirst, oxygen and temperature.Upon beginning a new game, players must select a difficulty mode from the following four: It functions much like the oxygen gauge does underwater. The player will slowly lose body heat and eventually die of cold, but they can replenish their body heat by jumping into water or standing next to a heat source. Īlongside returning mechanics such as oxygen, hunger, and thirst, players now have a body heat gauge which comes into play when walking on land. In addition, the game introduces new gadgets like the Flashlight Helmet, the Mineral Detector, and the Booster Tank. There is a day-night cycle which affects visibility and dynamic weather which further affects visibility, such as wind, snow, fog, and hail. There are more explorable structures to find both above ground and underwater which serve both as key locations for the story, but also for blueprints that the player can find for crafting.
The game primarily takes place underwater, but unlike its predecessor, there are significant land-based areas to explore in the north of the game's world. Like habitats, vehicles provide limitless oxygen to the player, but vehicles need to be upgraded in order to survive the water pressure at great depths. The player must craft equipment that will allow her to breathe underwater for longer, such as high-capacity oxygen tanks, as well as vehicles. At the start of the game, the player can only hold her breath for 45 seconds and if she dives below 100 m, she will lose oxygen at a faster rate. The main issue with accessing deep sections of the water is oxygen capacity. The final objective of the game is in fact located at the very deepest point in the game world. Generally, the game requires the player to visit ever-deeper sections of the game in order to find exotic materials, technology to scan, and complete objectives. Alongside raw materials, finding new crafting recipes is a major reason to explore. The player learns new recipes by scanning scraps of technology or recovering databoxes, which are strewn across the game world. Inside a habitat, the player can also craft living amenities such as beds or coffee tables, although these are purely cosmetic since the game does not track fatigue.Įach piece of equipment that can be crafted has its own recipe and the player begins the game knowing only a handful of recipes. Habitat structures provide shelter, storage for equipment and collected materials, and crafting stations.
Each of these has its own recipe, and some ingredients can only be found in the far-flung and deeper corners of the game world. To survive and complete objectives, player must collect raw materials from the environment and craft equipment, vehicles, shelters, and food. Players collect resources, construct tools, build bases and submersibles, and can interact with the planet's wildlife.
Like its predecessor, the player's goal is to explore the environments and survive in an alien environment while also completing objectives to advance the game's plot. Subnautica: Below Zero is a survival adventure game set in an open world environment and played from a first-person perspective.
