The Cyclops is a vehicle in Subnautica. It is a submarine and can be built in the Mobile Vehicle Bay. However, you have to explore the depths of planet 4546B in order to get it. Here is how to build the Subnautica Cyclops and the upgrades you can give it.
The Cyclops can store a lot, including a Prawn Suit and a Seamoth. It can also be used as a moving base of operations and can be equipped with furniture. The Cyclops can have three different speeds and each setting affects the amount of noise created.
Subnautica Cyclops – How To Build
In order to build the Cyclops, you will need three blueprints. The first blueprint is for the Hull and can be found in the Sea Treader’s Path and the Mushroom Forest. The engine is the second blueprint and can be found in a lot of locations, including the Mushroom Forest, Mountains, Underwater Islands, Crag Field, and Crash Zone. The final blueprint allows you to build the Bridge. In order to do that, you can pick up the blueprint in the Crash Zone, Mushroom Forest, and the Sea Treader’s Path.
