How to find Copper in Subnautica 2

-

Subnautica 2 co-op

Subnautica 2 keeps the franchise's long-standing tradition of sending the player hunting for Copper. This valuable resource is used in most early recipes involving electronics, including the famous scanner.

Luckily, you can find this resource in no time. It's within the vicinity of your lifepod, but you may have gone exploring in different directions before getting here. Plus, the evil electric plant that shocks you isn't exactly inviting.

Here's where to find Copper in Subnautica 2's early game.

The easiest spot to find copper in Subnautica 2 is just below the Lifepod, still in the starting area. Look down to find a cave with an oxygen plant in it, as well as another brain-like structure with a glowing green circle. You'll find a handful of copper deposits on the walls, alongside other handy resources.

The brain-like colony, for instance, is called Acidic Raion, and it contains the other ingredient you need to make Basic Batteries. Cut it with your Survival Multitool, grab the copper, and return to the Lifepod to start crafting gadgets like the Scanner.

While you're at it, grab the Acidic Raion core for a Medical Gel Sac, used to make First-Aid Kits. There's also some Titanium and a Portable Locker in sight.

If you need some air, come back to the Oxygen Tunic to keep exploring. It's actually an animal that uses radiation to split water into hydrogen and oxygen, in case giving you free air wasn't cool enough.

That cave alone should get you set up for your survival Multitool, plus batteries, and a little healing along the way. After you've crafted the Scanner, come back to find one of the parts required for the Flashlight blueprint down here as well.

Subnautica's early-game areas are more generous than the rest of the game, so make sure to grab useful resources here. Not far from the Lifepod, you'll also find an adaptation that lets you eat the planet's dangerous food, and the voice log that comes with it is only half horrifying!

While Monster Hunter Wilds officially launches on February 28, some players who pre-purchased the game have already begun preloading it—only to discover a new patch ahead of release. Reports online indicate that PS5 players preloading Monster Hunter Wilds are also downloading a 17.9GB patch for version 1.000.020, aside from the game's base 50GB size. This means the game's base version already includes a day one patch that affects its official release. As of now, Capcom has not released patch notes or publicly addressed the changes introduced in this early update. https://twitter.com/Shincry/status/1894381716824846666 Day one patches are common in large-scale games, typically addressing bugs, crashes, and last-minute fixes identified after the game is finalized but before it goes live. These issues are often flagged by reviewers and influencers who receive early access for content creation. While some Monster Hunter players are concerned about the game’s difficulty , there i...

It's hard to believe, but the decade of the 2020s is more than halfway over now. Time flies, but time also slows to an actual crawl when a decade begins with a global pandemic. That said, ever since 2020, the gaming industry has seen an influx of awesome games that deserve to be in the discussion of the GOATs. Image via From Software Many would argue that the gaming industry is on a downturn, and in some aspects, it definitely is. But there are still incredible titles, both from new and existing IPs, that launch each year and give us something to really fall in love with. The decade began with most of us in lockdown, with games like Animal Crossing: New Horizons and Call of Duty: Warzone keeping us comfy and sane. And now the 2020s have worn on with classic titles like Elden Ring, God of War: Ragnarok, Baldur's Gate 3, and many others since filling up our hearts and minds. And now, 2025's first six months already has some legit game of the year contenders with ...

Speedrunners are beating Donkey King Bananza in under two hours

A few days after launch, speedrunners are already working their way through the recent Nintendo Switch 2 release of Donkey Kong Bananza, beating the game in around one hour and 45 minutes total. What makes the time already astounding is that this is a few days after launch, before any major skips or tricks have been found, with most of the run currently being down to technical movement and skill over anything groundbreaking—apart from when you get to the Forbidden Layer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sCagXIrhFXI&ab_channel=Neil Most of the speedrun revolves around ignoring every single Banana even at the starting area, and to my surprise, when it comes to getting the Banaza powerups. You can simply leave the tutorial sections and not have to take part in any of them, which saves a boatload of time as well. In fact, most of the speedruns appear to be rushing towards the boss of each area most quickly, skipping any missions they can, and then finding a way to get each of t...
