The Flashlight is one of the most useful tools to craft early in Subnautica 2, when you start exploring dark caves, wrecks, and deeper parts of the ocean. Before you can make it, you will need to unlock its blueprint by scanning two Flashlight fragments found near your Lifepod. You will also need a Scanner, since this tool is required to scan technology fragments and discover new blueprints. In this guide, we will tell you how to unlock the Flashlight in Subnautica 2.
How to Unlock Flashlight
To get the Flashlight blueprint in Subnautica 2, you need to create the Scanner tool. Then, when you have the Scanner prepared, get out of the Lifepod and go a little to the southwest. Dive a few meters down and find the first Flashlight blueprint fragment lying on the floor. Scan it to unlock some progress towards the blueprint.
Then, after scanning the first fragment, go back to your Lifepod and move eastwards. Swim in and scan the second Fragment of the Flashlight, and you’ll unlock the Flashlight blueprint. Now that the blueprint is unlocked, you can go back to your Lifepod and create the Flashlight using the Fabricator. The materials required for the creation of a flashlight are Titanium, Quartz, and one Battery. You’ll mostly find Titanium inside underwater caves, but you can also come across it scattered on the ocean floor from time to time.
How to Get Titanium
Titanium is a very important resource in Subnautica 2, which is needed not only for simple items but also for building large structures within bases. Moreover, titanium is one of the first resources that you get when you start playing the game.
How to Get Quartz
One of the simplest methods of getting Quartz is looking for it within Coral Domes, which are the huge orange circular shapes of coral that can be seen all over the shallow waters around your Lifepod. The Coral Domes nearly always contain many Quartz fragments, thus providing a good location for harvesting this mineral.
How to Get a Basic Battery
The Basic Battery can be crafted by using two units of copper and one Acidic Raion Pouch at any available Fabricator. Copper can be obtained easily from the walls of underground caverns. To get an Acidic Raion Pouch, look for Acid Raion and harvest one of their pouches with your tool. Once you have these materials, return to the Fabricator and craft the Basic Battery.
