Spy Pengling

The Spy Pengling is a feature in Subnautica: Below Zero. It serves as a land-based alternative to the Camera Drone. It is controlled using the Spy Pengling Remote.

Uses
To use a Spy Pengling, the player must use a Spy Pengling Remote with. The Spy Pengling has a limited range of 50 meters.

The Spy Pengling has two modes, "Explore" and "Document". While controlling a Spy Pengling, the player can switch between these modes with.

Explore mode allows the player to move the Spy Pengling. This mode also limits to the camera to be forward-facing. A small robotic arm allows resources to be collected with. The drone has a storage container that can hold up to four items. The small stature of the Spy Pengling allows it to explore otherwise inaccessible areas that are too small for the player.

In Document mode, the camera extends forward from the abdomen, allowing for a 360 degree view. The drone cannot move in this mode. This mode allows the player to take selfies. When the outer-view camera looks towards Robin Goodall, she will take one of several poses to pose for the camera. Other creatures may also pose for the camera.

Should the drone get stuck, it has the ability to self-destruct. However, it is not all terrain; it cannot enter water and taking too much damage will cause it to "die", forcing the player out of the perspective of the penguin.
