Dangerous creatures, great but how to defend myself?

[Klown Killer]

Adding dangerous creatures is great but what about weapons for defend ourself?
I have a knife... and what?
Maybe I have missed something?

Use seamoth with torpedoes and eletric discharge, a full discharge can kill LOADS of creatures in a VERY BIG area, stalkers ussually die in 1 discharge, the prawn suit has the torpedoes too, hiting with the arm or drill do vast amounts of damage too.

If there are mobs that try to kill you, you need weapons :)

Btw, I like this game, it's a good game but sadly, run away all the time it's not my cup of tea. So I don't think I will play a lot if I can't defend myself properly. I will get boring very quickly.

You dont need "lethal" weapons, you already have weapons (stasis rifle, propulsion gun, non-lethal torpedos and the most importan one, your brain)

Well, that wouldnt be a problem with the game, but with yourself. if you cant play a game because it doesnt have rocket launcher or automatic rifles, than this isnt a game for you. Also, sorry to say that, but nobody cares if you stop playing this game, the devs already have your supporting money.

Jesus... I just talk to you, that's all. I don't try to convince anyone with anything. Play what you want dude!

well thats ok, but just stated facts.

I haven't killed a leviathan, but I have killed a few stalkers who are fairly relentless in pursuit, but most sharks will flee if you knife them once or twice, and most are easy to dodge. You actually don't need to kill in this game much at all, just swim smart.

The PRAWN suit seems to kill anything smaller than a leviathan, with just 2-3 hits of the claw arms.

There won´t be any kinds of lethal weapons. The devs stated this very often and this discussion was often brought up. Please be sure to check via search options, if this topic has already been discussed.
So dont get your hopes up, this wont be another game where you can shoot yourself out of every situation. There wont be any lethal weapons, according to the plan of the devs.

But if you have problems dealing with the "dangerous" Creatures, be sure to check out the Stasis Rifle or the propulsion gun. Against bigger odds, try the seamoth or the prawn suit. This isnt really a hard game, if you just try different things out. nearly every creature has its weaknesses and are avoidable

All is said is this quote.

That doesn't mean you can't kill anything though. You have to be more imaginative if you want to get rid of something in Subnautica. For example, with the propulsion cannon, you can displace and drop a rock on a predator, or just stack up acid mushrooms with you and use them as ammo. And you can believe me, when exploding, they sure are deadly.

Last but not least : This pinned topic (that you should have read first but whatever) has the answer to your question.

they added dangerous creatures so that you get a little scare back after you understand how the game works and swim near reapers because you dont care anymore
adding lethal weapon would destroy their danger again it would be stupid idiotic dumb moronic
and as said many times already...you can already kill creatures in many way in this game if you use your brain if you don't have a brain try call of duty it's really good game

use the grappling hook to grab any creature and drill the murder smirk off of its face

Just be super careful with some of them until you get to know them better. Crabsquid has an emp attack that can disable electronics for a short while and the warper can warp you OUT of your vehicle to bring you into reach.

If you want to go on an insane killing spree.. Then PRAWN + Drill Arm.

Otherwise for basic defence while not inside a Seamoth/PRAWN/Cyclops. Use Stasis Rifle/Propulsion/Repulsion Gun to keep nasty ♥♥♥♥ away.

But i guess it's too hard for developers in this day and age, to require it's players to actually use their brain in trying to figure out how to stay alive.

XD valus not everyone wants automatic rifles as weapons XD. Maybe something like that electro something shield that keeps away small predators but on a larger scale

[5chwarte666]

You are the Prey on this Planet...nothing will change that, btw with time you will get managed this

[Grooster]

Don't worry the sea dragon can't see anything for the life of him, you can swim by without him knowing.

please read more carefully, i am talking about "lethal" weapons. a defensive shield like that on in the seamoth, but for the cyclops would be in my opinion overpowered. the current defense system is strong enough to kill pretty much everythin in 2-3 shocks except leviathians or the SDL

You need ways to defend yourself. Not to kill. And this game has plenty of ways to defend yourself.

Some of the best horror/tension you can get is generally in games where you can defend yourself, but can't kill your pursuer. Usually it's used in games like Amnesia. This games company decided to use it in a sandbox game instead. And it definitely does give a sense of tension whenever a dangerous creature is nearby.

If you like shooting things in your survival game, this game isn't for you indeed.
