If you want to dive deeper in Subnautica 2, you will need to upgrade your oxygen tank. To do that, you will need to find Silver, which is one of the most essential materials in the game. Finding it can be quite tricky early on, as they are not found on the surface. Here is a quick guide on where to find Silver in Subnautica 2, with the best early locations and uses.
How to Get Silver in Subnautica 2
Silver can be found deep inside caves in Subnautica 2. You will find small nodes of silver in the deeper caves and can pick them up directly with your hand.
There are larger deposits of Silver in areas you will explore later on, located away from your life pod. These will require the use of a Sonic Resonator to break.
You should also craft the Rebreather to get that extra burst of oxygen to explore the deeper caves. To craft the Rebreather, you will need Batteries, which can be crafted using Copper in Subnautica 2.
As Silver spawns randomly, check the section below to find the best early spot to get this item in Subnautica 2.
Best Subnautica 2 Silver Locations in Early Game
Finding Silver early on can be difficult, but there is a really good spot near the life pod. Although you won’t have a ton of Silver inside, it should be enough to let you craft the early equipment. So, here is the best early-game Silver location in Subnautica 2:
- Head northeast from the life pod approximately 150 meters.
- Look for a light stand near a coral cave. Enter the cave and go deep into it.
- Inside, you should find Silver nodes on the cave walls that you can simply break with your hands.
