Subnautica 2's traversal options are limited early on, leaving you to mainly swim around and hope for the best. While you can install a Dash Biomod, your best bet for consistent, faster travel—at least, until you unlock vehicles—is to use a Wakemaker.

All Wakemaker blueprint locations in Subnautica 2

Making a Wakemaker in Subnautica 2 requires scanning three of the tool's fragments using your Scanner tool. Here's a list of Wakemaker blueprint fragments you can find early on:

1. Inside a metal crate 95 meters northwest of the Lifepod. Line up your compass angle between 330 and 345.
2. Near an abandoned science lab, 125 meters north of the Lifepod.
3. Inside a metal crate 210 meters north of the Lifepod. Adjust your compass angle to 15.

You'll find your first Wakemaker fragment nearby, located 95 meters northwest of the Lifepod. As you swim in the direction, look out for a platform with coral domes and metal crates scattered about. The fragment is inside one of these crates.

by scanning two Habitat Tools before making the tool in your Fabricator.

After constructing a base and a Fabricator, you'll gain full access to the Wakemaker crafting recipe. You'll need the following resources to make it:

• Silver (1)
• Wiring Kit (1)
• Grease (1)
• Basic Battery (1)

Screenshot by Destructoid The closest spot to find silver is 120 meters north of your Lifepod, underneath a Coral Dome cave. Although not abundant, you'll find enough silver in this cave to make the Wakemaker. Alternatively, you can travel 350 meters to find silver near the Old Habitat.

If you picked up extra silver from the cave above and the copper wire from the second Wakemaker blueprint location, you'll have no trouble making the wire kit. Grease, on the other hand, requires Lucifer Rotsacs, which you can harvest from Cradle Shootroot plants surrounding the Lifepod. Look out for orange-yellow bulbs inside blue plants during your search.

The final component is a basic battery. If you haven't found one inside a storage crate during your travels, you can make one using two copper and one

. You'll find copper in the Coral Dome cave from earlier, while Acidic Raion Pouches come from pink-purple plants you'll find in caves around the map.
