Vortex Torpedo (Subnautica)

The Vortex Torpedo is a consumable non-lethal ammunition that is used in-conjunction with the Torpedo System Upgrade Module for the Seamoth and The PRAWN Suit Torpedo arm. The Vortex Torpedoes are loaded into the torpedo silos in the front of the Seamoth or into the Torpedo Launcher Arm of the PRAWN Suit.

The Vortex Torpedo's payload is a small whirlpool that causes creatures to be pulled in and unable to move freely, similar to the effects of the Stasis Rifle. This can be used to immobilize aggressive creatures such as Stalkers, Sand Sharks, and even Reaper Leviathans, giving the player a significant advantage in escaping.

Each torpedo silo can hold four Vortex Torpedoes and a Seamoth can have up to four torpedo silos depending on the upgrade configuration. When the Seamoth Torpedo System is first installed it will provide two Vortex Torpedoes per module.

The Storage Module module can be used to store extra Vortex Torpedoes but they will have to be manually loaded into the torpedo silos.
