Swim charge VS Ultra glide

[Asami]

Which is better and why? I vote swim charge because I just ran my regular battery Seaglide with them on for a couple minutes straight and without the lights on it consumed no power.

Swim charge is better for me at least. I always swim with seaglide, and it means i don't need to waste actionbar or inventory slot for separate flashlight.

Ultra fins are mostly for if you still spend a lot of time swimming around and don't want to be slow as molasses in the late game when using anything but the seaglide.

Particularly if you are using the ultra tank, or reinforced suit, or both. Charge fins have the passive agressive design quirk of zero swim speed bonus. So while it's a good time when using the seaglide, it's not as pleasant it you are swimming around with a scanner or knife

Though that's about all ultra fins have going for it even as much as i like them.

I wish they had ultra glide swim charge fins. Make that the next upgrade in the modifacation station :P

"Ultra fins! Now with less swim speed" because again, the charge fins have zero actual fins bouns. yeesh.

What I'm more interestd in is them dialing back the constant hate on the stillsuit (It's in game! now it's removed from game!... okay fine we put it back, but now it's harder... okay now it's even harder! You'll have water filtration and nuclear power first).

Either make it properly early game, or let you combine it with the reinforce suit. Too little too late. At least ultra fins have a niche to them all game.

You do if you're nowhere near any thermal vents and don't want to cause your cyclops to suffer a blackout.

Sure, you might have water filtration first, but once you get the still suit, you literally never have to carry water again, so you could disassemble the water filter if you wanted. The stillsuit/heated blade combo means you can just produce food and water wherever you need it and don't have to carry any with you (unless you are going somewhere with no edible fish).

The stillsuit provides pretty much all your water needs and the tiny bit it doesn't is covered by eating cooked fish that the knife gives you.

Guys I need help. Im trying to make a PRAWNS but it won't build it no matter where I move the bay to. The sunbeam is landing could that be the cause?

Ultra Glides for me, the Swim Charge Fins seem & feel cripplingly slow, i have the charge fins on now, however i was thinking of swapping them back to the UG's because they rock and you dont swim slow as hell with them on.

I think it all comes down to where you are in the game and whether you have batteries or the ION CELL / ION BATTERIES yet, i'm at a stage where i have some of the better equiptment so i dont need the SCF's.

Swim charge for me. I always use the seaglide now that I dont have to worry about batteries.Also nice to be able to use the flashlight indefinitely in dark places without fussing with battery. Now if I didn't have to toggle the seaglide 6 times so I could have light without the bloody map...

Ultra glide... i never bothered with the swim charge, because i just juggled batteries from some of the less used tools if i ran out. And i had a battery charger that always held 4 batteries in the main base. Whenever i was there i would exchange the batteries, regardless of their charge level.

Never ran out of battery power.

I use flashlight alot because the seaglide light is just not useful enough when I am trying to find something, so ultraglide for me. Also, the only thing that i ran out of battery for usually is the flashlight.

I am ultraglide fin person. You swim fast with nothing in hand and ultraglide. Plus I prefer to have scanner or lightstick in my hand. Seaglide needs a buff because its useless once you get ultraglide fins. Its not worth the inventory, use of hands, use of battery/swimcharge to go 5% faster than ultraglide fins.

Another necro topic?
Anyways, I don't see the point in the charging fins, since by the endgame I basically never swim.

Lmao why is anyone responding to this its so old
