How to Get Copper
Get Copper by Exploring Caves
Copper is a common resource found very close to your starting location. Unlike Titanium, which is often found on the sea floor, Copper is usually found on cave walls and ceilings.
Some Copper Deposits Regenerate
In Subnautica 2, some Copper deposits respawn over time. However, this does not apply to every location. Certain nodes are finite, while some cave systems contain deposits that eventually regenerate.
Needs Sonic Resonator for Large Copper Veins
Large Copper Veins require the Sonic Resonator to break apart. Since Copper is heavily used throughout the game, you'll eventually need to farm it from multiple locations.
Copper Locations
Best Early-Game Copper Location
For an easy early-game farming spot, dive directly below the Lifepod. You'll find a small cave filled with Copper deposits along the rocky walls.
| Tip! | Copper deposits have a distinct brownish-orange crystalline appearance, making them easier to distinguish from Silver and Titanium. |
