In Subnautica, to find the Cyclops submarine, search the Aurora crash site in the southwest. Look for the engine fragment parts scattered around the area. Scan them to unlock the blueprint for the Cyclops. Collect the necessary materials to build it, including 3 Plasteel Ingots, 3 Enameled Glass, 3 Lubricant, and 1 Advanced Wiring Kit.
Exploring the Sparse Reef
The first step in finding the Cyclops submarine in Subnautica is by exploring the Sparse Reef biome. This biome is located to the northeast of Lifepod 5 and can be identified by its unique landscape of large rock formations. As you navigate through the Sparse Reef, keep an eye out for wreckages and caves that might contain valuable resources and data. The Cyclops fragments are known to spawn in this area, so exploring thoroughly is key to increasing your chances of finding them.
Scanning for Fragments
To locate the Cyclops fragments more effectively, utilize your handheld scanner. Equip the scanner and keep an eye out for any fragment signatures that appear as you explore the Sparse Reef. The Cyclops fragments will be scattered across the seabed, so scan each one you come across to gather the necessary data. Remember that multiple fragments are required to complete the blueprint for the Cyclops submarine, so be diligent in your scanning efforts.
Utilizing Beacons
Given the vastness of the ocean in Subnautica, navigating back to specific locations can be challenging. To make your search for the Cyclops submarine more efficient, consider placing beacons at key sites where you find Cyclops fragments or believe the submarine might be located. By marking these locations with beacons, you can easily return to them for further exploration or to collect additional fragments. This strategic approach will help streamline your search efforts and prevent you from getting lost in the vast underwater world.
Exploring Reaper Leviathan Areas
While the Sparse Reef is a primary location for finding Cyclops fragments, exploring areas inhabited by Reaper Leviathans can also yield results. Reaper Leviathans are aggressive predators that typically reside in deeper waters, such as the Crash Zone and the Dunes biomes. Although these areas pose significant risks, they are known to contain valuable resources and wreckage that may have Cyclops fragments. Exercise caution when venturing into Reaper Leviathan territories, but do not overlook them as potential sources for completing the Cyclops blueprint.
Building the Cyclops Submarine
Once you have collected all the necessary Cyclops fragments, you can proceed to the Vehicle Modification Station to assemble the submarine. This station allows you to craft the Cyclops using the collected data fragments, provided you have acquired enough of them. Upon completing the blueprint, you will gain access to the Cyclops submarine, a massive and versatile vehicle that enhances your exploration capabilities in the ocean depths. With its spacious interior and advanced functionalities, the Cyclops opens up new possibilities for discovering hidden secrets and venturing into uncharted territories in Subnautica.
