The Cyclops has three speed settings: "slow," "standard" and "flank." As well as speed, each setting affects the amount of noise generated and, in turn, the attention drawn from hostile fauna. These cameras are located on the keel, sail and screw, which in layman's terms are below, above and at the rear of the submarine, respectively.
The submarine is equipped with three external cameras which are operated via the HUD. It cannot "strafe" sideways, nor can it pitch forward or back as the Seamoth can. The Cyclops takes over the movement controls, with forward and back moving the submarine in that direction, swim up and swim down being used to ascend and descend, and left and right used to turn. While controlling the helm, the player is still able to move their viewpoint in a limited arc to look around. The Cyclops functions as a cross between a Seabase and a vehicle: the player can freely walk around inside it, only controlling it when they approach the helm control and "use" it. It should be noted that while the East side of Mountain Island is a viable place to find many / all of the parts, a Reaper Leviathan and Boneshark patrols the area, and the parts reside at a depth of over 200m. Each completed component will progress the overall Cyclops blueprint by 33% to fully complete the Cyclops blueprint, the player must find and scan nine fragments in total. Each component is shown individually in the PDA. Cyclops Bridge fragments ( Crash Zone, Mushroom Forest and Sea Treader's Path, East side of Mountain Island)Įach set requires three fragments to be scanned to complete the component.Cyclops Engine fragments ( Aurora, Crag Field, Crash Zone, Mountains, and the Underwater Islands Wreck, East side of Mountain Island).Cyclops Hull fragments ( Mushroom Forest, Sea Treader's Path, East side of Mountain Island).Unlike most other blueprints, the player must find and scan three different sets of fragments to craft. Should the player choose to build multiple Cyclops, each will have its own beacon. It is equipped with an onboard AI that will warn the player of danger and a beacon allowing the player to locate it at a distance. This base however is purely for lore purposes and does not appear in-game.Access is obtained either via the dive chamber located at the bow of the keel or via the docking bay when piloting a Seamoth or Prawn Suit. In the cinematic trailer, it is revealed that Bart Torgal built himself a Seabase in what appears to be the Crash Zone or Safe Shallows. Spoiler alert: The following section contains story related material. It requires a radiation suit and ideally should be done with a Seamoth, as there is a radiation field around the perimeter. The "landing" inside is shallow enough to provide some safety for embarking and disembarking. If attempting to enter the Aurora, it only takes a brief trip through deeper waters, although a Reaper Leviathan can frequently be found west of the entrance.
The safest way to cross the Crash Zone is to follow the Safe Shallows as close as possible, then stick to the shallowest parts of the area. This small area contains a good amount of Limestone and Sandstone Outcrops. The harvesting nodes typically found in the area makes this biome a good source for raw crafting materials.Ī portion of the Bulb Zone goes into the Crash Zone, near Aurora's front section. The biome makes up for this, however, with a wide variety of fauna, most of which being predatory - including the dangerous Reaper Leviathans. The Crash Zone possesses a distinct sandy, murky tint of water, and is nearly devoid of Flora, though the western part that borders the Safe Shallows shares some of its flora.
Also, flocks of Skyrays populate this area. There is a large amount of dry land on the eastern side of the Aurora which has plenty of debris and Metal Salvage. The Crash Zone is located on the easternmost part of the map, surrounded by a Kelp Forest, Safe Shallows, the Bulb Zone, a Mushroom Forest, the Crag Field, and a Grassy Plateaus.
