Seamoth perimeter defense

So I built one and it doesn't seem to be working. The bonesharks keep ramming it and the reeper still used it as a stress ball. What is it supost to do?

You have to turn it on each time after boarding (depending on which upgrade slot you put it in, those are keys 1-4). It's on if the icon turns blue. You activate it by pressing LMB.

I'm not sure what exactly you tried but since i asume you don't know how it works i'm gonna explain it realy quick: Use keys 1-4 (whereever it is) to select it in the hotbar. Hold down LMB to charge it up (the longer you hold the higher it's dmg and AOE, aswell the power used). It does nothing on it's own like an electric fence. Btw when grabbed by a reaper you only need a short burst since it is realy close to you, to get it off of your seamoth.

Thank you, I didn't know I had to activate it, thought it was passive.

An understandable assumption given the name and descroption.

Though it's useless as a parking alarm, alas. But the fact it will free you from a reaper if you're driving is well worth always having it installed.
