a Leviathan question

[Royal Prawn]

Can I kill Shadow Leviathans with the PRAWN Suit?

[Ignis]

Yes.

[Royal Prawn]

Is there a way to do it besides hitting it over and over with the PRAWN's drill arm? cause I tried doing that several times but I couldn't kill it. tried using torpedos too.

[Freedom Manager 👁]

Torpedoes don't do damage do they? And you can, like in SN1, it just takes ages.

Without the Stasis Rifle, or Gas Torpedoes, your only options for killing a Shadow Leviathan to my knowledge are:

Survival/Thermal Knife/Blade: Long time, consider it a solo Boss Raid

Propulsion Canon: No reasonable way to ever carry enough throwable items in your inventory to kill it without having to continuously and repeatedly pick up thrown items to reuse as ammunition. And the battery power to do it.

Prawn Suint Punches/Drill: The Punch is more powerful, but has a "reload" animation, while the Drill is much weaker but deals its DPS constantly. The fastest way to kill one is to equip a single Drill arm, and chase it down, when in range hold out your Drill and punch away at it. It will go down, and unless I'm mistaken it'll retain any damage you've dealt to it. So keep whackin on em.

Just use ion battery / shield electrical weapon module and drill, no need to kill them.

No need for them to exist either. Put something in the game and players will want to kill it if they attack us.

Several times? Try doing that 100 or so more times, and they might start to bleed.

[WolfXRunner]

Possible? As stated above yes, it is quite possible, it just takes absolutely forever seeing as Subnautica was never about killing the creatures.

The Prawn Suit Grappling Arm is going to be in the next update. (Sea Monkey Nests in the Lilypads Crevice) So that's going to be your main way of exterminating those leviathans.

[Royal Prawn]

Thanks everybody! I think my problem is that, by the time I had the balls to do kill certain leviathans in the first game, I was already at the point of cheating so I just increased the damage I could do. as such, I'm probably just being a little pansy about it.

thank god. I really want that because it makes them a lot easier to maneuver. though they were easier to maneuver when I played the game yesterday.

you could probably bumper hunt it also with the seatruck a repair tool and a perimeter defense system. i dont know if they regen health though.
