How to get all Biomods in Subnautica 2, and what each one does
Subnautica 2 features a skill system called Biomods that enhance player capabilities in various ways. These modifications include both active effects—abilities that can be triggered in specific situations, such as dashing to evade predators or unleashing electrical jolts—and passive buffs that provide ongoing benefits to make underwater survival more manageable.
Players start with only a limited selection of Biomods available after powering up the Biolab facility in the Welcome Center. However, the full range of Biomods becomes accessible once players progress to the Alien Ruins and upgrade their scanner with the Bioscanner enhancement. This gated progression system ensures players gradually discover and unlock abilities as they explore.
The primary method for unlocking Biomods involves scanning various creatures throughout the ocean environment. Each creature type discovered corresponds to specific Biomods that can be obtained. With 15 Biomods currently available in the game, there is substantial depth to the progression system, encouraging players to seek out and catalog different marine life.
The Biolab serves as the central hub where players can view and manage their Biomods collection, with the interface expanding to show all available options once the necessary upgrades are obtained. This design encourages exploration and creature discovery as a core gameplay loop, integrating progression directly with environmental interaction and exploration mechanics.
