Copper Ore
Copper Ore is a common metal used for electronics, wiring, batteries, and power systems in Subnautica 2.
Quick Info
How to Get & Where to Find
Mine Limestone Outcrops which have a chance to drop Copper Ore alongside Titanium. Because limestone is plentiful in the shallows, Copper is easy to gather in bulk early on — just expect to collect plenty of Titanium at the same time.
Shallow Waters
0–50m — limestone outcrops line the seafloor near your lifepod.
Best for early gameKelp Forest
50–150m — dense outcrop clusters among the kelp.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where to find Copper?
Same limestone outcrops as Titanium. Break limestone in the shallows or kelp forest and you'll collect Copper Ore alongside Titanium from each node.
Do I need a lot of Copper?
Yes, batteries and electronics consume significant amounts. Power cells in particular are a recurring expense for vehicles, so stockpile more Copper than you think you'll need.
Can Copper be found deep?
Yes, but shallow deposits are more efficient. The shallows and kelp forest offer the highest density of limestone with the least risk, so farm Copper there before descending into deeper biomes.
