Dive Elevator

The Dive Elevator is a platform-type vehicle in Subnautica 2. Unlike personal submersibles like the Tadpole, it's designed as a vertical transport for descending to deep ocean areas and hauling loot back up to the surface.

Function

The Dive Elevator works as a ride-on platform that players can stand on while it lowers them into the depths. This makes it practical for transporting large quantities of resources that wouldn't fit in a personal submersible's storage. On the return trip, players load their gathered materials onto the platform and ride it back up.

Co-op use

The Dive Elevator is described as "convenient and social," designed with co-op play in mind. Multiple players can ride the same elevator, making it a natural gathering point for group expeditions to deeper zones. In a game where depth progression often determines difficulty, having a reliable vertical transport that the whole team can use changes how groups approach resource runs.
