In Subnautica 2 silver is one of the most important resources, as it allows you to build various things like vehicles and upgrades that secure your survival. We will show you how to easily obtain this metal here.

Where can you find silver? In Subnautica 2, silver is actually not too far from your starting point. You just need to search in the right place.

To find one of the larger deposits, orient your compass to the north. Keep the giant coral tree in sight and swim straight ahead. In the water, you’ll find special rock formations that look like mushrooms.

Once there, keep to the left and swim past them until you discover a large hole in the ground. This hole leads underwater to a cave system. There, you can break silver from various stone walls—no tools are necessary for this.

What do you need silver for? In Subnautica 2, silver is one of the basic resources for building many useful things like vehicles. However, many actually want to build the diving tank instead of a new vehicle. It ensures you can stay underwater for longer. For this device, you need:

  • 2x titanium
  • 2x silver
  • 1x rubber

While titanium and rubber are easy to find, silver is the material that is considered scarce. However, if you follow our directions, you will find a large deposit of silver in no time.

However, if you are someone who does not want to spend time grinding and would rather have all the materials ready, you should make use of the console commands. With these cheats, you can fill your inventory with a large amount of materials—including silver.
