Whats the point of the snow fox?

[Kodaxmax]

I assumed it would hover over water, making it useful for nipping distances over the surface. Being locked to surface would inherently balance it.

But no after much confusion i had to check the wiki, only to find it's land only. The land areas arn't nearly big enough or open enough to justify this.

Its handy for evading the iceworm when you get a module for it, this module decreases iceworm attacks significantly

Why do you hide Ice Worm?

[Ruiner]

Because it's a spoiler.

both the iceworm and the snow fox were in promotional media for the game. its hardly a spoiler

[Kodaxmax]

theres no spoilers in this thread lol

Both of those things are still spoilers if you've not looked at the promotional material

I find the snowfox garbage. I move just as fast with prawn+grappler and no collision or fall damage. Also, in case of a worm attack, you get thrown off the snowfox, not from the prawn though.

The snowfox needs to be made a lot sturdier. There is enough room for using it, but its like snowboarding on a thin glass board.

just stop. its not a spoiler. If you are the kind of person who avoids every detail about a game you wanted to play, then you wouldnt go on game foums before you had finished said game.

Both "spoilers" are in the second video on the steam store page (the first released trailer for the game, the thing most people have seen), both are in one of the screenshots on the steam store page. The worm it self is in the background image of these very discussion forums.

Hell if you google 'subnautica below zero' the first image to pop up shows both, AND the official game website shows both https://unknownworlds.com/subnautica/subnautica-below-zero/

i finished the game and didnt make snowfox its useless ice worm is not dangerous

[Andreas]

It's only good for promotional material. In the game itself it's mostly useless.

[Ballsaque]

Snowfox is useless. Why?

- It's only slightly faster than running.
- It's less agile than running.
- It gets stuck all the time.
- It seems to be a target for Ice worms.

When I walk around that (terrible) snow map there isn't a worm that hits me. When on the Snowfox however, I get impaled. Same with icicles: they never hit me on foot, yet on the Snowfox I'm pelted by them.

As a concept the Snowfox was cool. Execution is poor though, it just makes it glaringly clear that the surface part of the game was rushed.

I'm sorry but nothing shown in a trailer can be considered a spoiler lol, it's literally just a feature of the game that's being advertised upfront as a feature. You'd almost have to go to the store page and purchase the game blindfolded not to see the ice worm. In fact, there's an ice worm in the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ background of the steam discussion page, so anyone here right now is being spoiled I guess.
