Description

The Seamoth Sonar Module is a passive mapping upgrade that continuously scans the area around the Seamoth. It highlights the outline of nearby terrain and places markers over points of interest such as wrecks, fragment caches, and resource outcrops, helping you chart unfamiliar biomes and plan return trips with confidence. The data is saved to your vehicle, so the marks persist between dives.

How to Get

Point of Interest

Auto-marks nearby wrecks, fragment caches, and resource nodes so you can return later.

Power Draw
