If you're wondering how to find Silver in Subnautica 2, you're not alone. It took me a long time to find this crucial material for crafting electronics, which is surprising given its a requirement for the vital O2 tank crafting recipe.
At least needing it for something so essential hints that Silver isn't found too deep in Subnautica 2, but it is hidden in specific cave systems, making it tough to find. Here, I'll walk you through exactly how to find silver as soon as possible, so you can craft that all-important Standard Air Tank.
Where to find Silver in Subnautica 2
To find Silver in Subnautica 2, head about 400 - 500 meters north of your lifepod, and find some small cave entrances lined with green, glowing flora.
Cave entrances may also be home to Pent, as seen in the image above, which can be another giveaway that you're close to a silver cave. You are likely to come across dangerous Mango Nibblers on this journey, so be sure to pack a med kit. You might also find a few bases, including Sophie's Retreat, so you should make sure your Scanner is fully charged, or that you're carrying a spare battery.
Once you've found Silver in Subnautica 2, you'll be able to craft a Standard Air Tank, as long as you also have Titanium and Rubber, which are far easier to come by. That said, if you're struggling to figure out where to find the Subnautica 2 Lucifer Rotsacs, needed to make rubber, check out my separate guide.
In the later game, you'll find Silver is much easier to come by, and you'll find it in larger deposits around the Power Plant area - good news considering how much you'll need to craft electronics, long after you've obtained that first air tank.
