How To Unlock The Bioreactor In Subnautica 2

The Bioreactor can be unlocked by scanning three fragments. Once unlocked, it generates energy for a base and can be kept running by adding fibers and fuels. Several fragments are found in the Shallows region. One fragment is near the Chap blackbox signal marker, about 400 meters southeast from the Lifepod, reached by diving into a tunnel to find a Colonist Bunker with a scannable Bioreactor and a Biobed upgrade. Another fragment is about 370 meters southwest from the Lifepod, found near a crashed ship and wreckage surrounded by Surge Jellies. A third fragment is in the Old Habitat facility, about 400 meters north-northeast from the Lifepod, accessed through a hatch and found in a chamber near a ruined Bioreactor piece. An additional fragment location is described near an area with many BFJs, about 450 meters north-northeast from the Lifepod.

"The Subnautica 2 Bioreactor can only be unlocked upon scanning three fragments. Several are scattered in the Shallows region, and we've listed a few that we've found in our playthrough. As usual, we encourage you to read our mini-walkthrough, since it gives you an idea as to where you ought to go next for the campaign."

"The location is roughly 400 meters southeast from the Lifepod. As you approach, you'll see a Giant Coral Crab and several rock pillars. Dive down the tunnel to discover a Colonist Bunker, which happens to have a scannable Bioreactor and a Biobed upgrade."

"This Subnautica 2 Bioreactor fragment is around 370 southwest from the Lifepod. If you were just at location #1, you can skirt around the cliffside edge until you see a crashed ship. Just past that, there's more wreckage surrounded by a bunch of Surge Jellies."

"There's a Bioreactor fragment in a facility known as the Old Habitat, which is 400 meters north-northeast from the Lifepod. Enter the facility via the hatch at the back. In the next chamber, make a right just past the scuba tank. You should then see a ruined Bioreactor piece to your left."
