If you’re struggling to find silver in Subnautica 2, you’re not alone. Silver is one of the most important early-game resources, used for crafting essential tools like the oxygen tank and wiring kits. In this guide, I’ll walk you through a reliable route to locate silver ore, step by step.
Step 1: Swim Under Your Lifepod and Find the Cable
Start by swimming directly beneath your lifepod. Look around until you spot a long cable lying on the seabed. This cable serves as your guide. Face northeast and follow it.
Step 2: Follow the Cable Until You See a Wreckage
Keep swimming along the cable. Eventually, you’ll come across a piece of wreckage. Once you find it, turn left (northwest) and continue swimming.
Step 3: Locate the Giant Coral
As you swim northwest, you’ll notice a massive coral structure ahead. This is your landmark. Aim your camera toward the coral as shown in the screenshot. The entrance to the cave you need is right there.
Step 4: Enter the Cave Quickly
Swim into the cave without hesitation. On your way in, you’ll encounter some toxic plants—just ignore them and keep moving. Speed is important here because the silver is located at a depth of 65 meters, and oxygen is precious.
Step 5: Collect the Silver Ore
Once inside the cave, you’ll find an air pocket at the top. This means you can catch your breath while mining. The silver ore is attached to the cave walls, right next to the air pocket. Swim up, grab it, and you’re good.
Step 6: Refill Oxygen and Head Back to Craft
Use the air pocket to restore your oxygen, then swim back to your lifepod or base. Now you have enough silver to craft an oxygen tank or other essential upgrades.
Tips
- Watch your oxygen level – The cave is 65 meters deep, so keep an eye on your oxygen bar.
- Ignore the toxic plants – They deal damage but won’t kill you if you swim past quickly.
- Use the air pocket – It’s located at the top of the cave and gives you unlimited breathing time.
- Bring a knife – If you need to clear any obstacles or defend yourself, a knife is handy.
