How many Repair Tool fragments do you need in Subnautica 2?

Launch-week public guides route players through three Repair Tool fragment scans. This page keeps the three route leads together and labels them as public-guide routes until we can retest exact in-game coordinates.

Which Repair Tool fragment should I scan first?

Start with the fragment at Chap's base if you can reach it safely. It is described as a desk scan inside a small cave base, while the south and northeast wreck fragments require more wreck navigation.

Are these exact coordinates?

No. They are Lifepod-relative route markers based on public guide directions and distances. Use the map and route notes for navigation, then verify against your current Early Access build.

Fragment guide

Repair Tool Fragment Locations

The Repair Tool route currently has three useful public-guide leads: Chap's base, a south wreck, and a northeast wreck. Treat them as Lifepod-relative routes, not final mined coordinates.

Accuracy note: these entries come from launch-week hands-on guides and our map marker review. Recheck wreck entrances after patches, especially if a route seems blocked or moved.

Best scan order

Stop 1

Chap's base fragment

Swim roughly southeast from the Lifepod toward Chap's blackbox cave route, then descend to the small cave base.

This is the cleanest first Repair Tool scan because the fragment is described on a desk inside a small base, not deep inside a confusing wreck.

Stop 2

South wreck fragment

Swim directly south across the deeper gap, enter the south-side wreck opening, then work down through the lower interior.

Use this as the second scan only after you are comfortable with longer oxygen timing. Wreck interiors punish sloppy exits.

Stop 3

Northeast wreck fragment

Head about 60 degrees northeast from the Lifepod toward the large wreck and enter from below.

This is a strong third stop because the same wreck route is also connected to Processor, Tadpole, and Bioreactor scans in launch-week guide notes.

Before you go

Bring a scanner and enough oxygen margin to leave the wreck before you start exploring side rooms.
Drop a beacon or mental landmark at the wreck entrance if the interior path bends downward.
Scan nearby station fragments only if you still have a clear exit route.
Use the northeast wreck as a multi-scan trip, not a casual first-minute swim.
