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.

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.

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

The Vortex Torpedoes can be used to strategically distract and disorient the larger Creatures in the game for a short time. It does this by creating a small whirlpool that causes creatures to be pulled in and swirled around. This gives the player enough time to escape.
