Subnautica | How far can you really sail? Dead zone. Edge of the map

People who have played Subnautica often think that the game has no map edge. But you can't swim away from the main location through the dead zone indefinitely either, because the game has a rather tricky restriction in the form of a ghostly leviathan that will attack until you die.
However, I was interested in trying to get around this restriction, and find the edge of the map in Subnautica, if it exists. In this video, I show you what I got out of it

If you enjoyed this video, I recommend you watch my other videos on a similar topic

the fact he did this in survival earns anyones respect

When he said “look very carefully” I was certain I was about to get troll jump scared

[Jaydanson]

I believe that the ghost leviathans leaving you for a bit is because the maps biomes "loop". I was doing something similar to this but I had the F1 menu open and could see what biome im in and it kept saying biomes such as crash zone and safe shallows. That also explains the water color.

The devs should have had a bit of fun for players wanting to swim to the edge, like making some truly thalassophobia inducing creatures exclusively for the edge (non-canon essentially, just for the fun of it).

After seeing many videos from Subnautica, here is what I've learned so far from it :
1. There is Dead Zone.
2. There is these Leviathan things.

I love the ocean I really do love to go diving but this game triggers my childhood fear of what lurks beneath the waves in the dark water. Hate it but kudos to you for discovering the border of the game

What they should’ve done, I think, is have a cut scene at the 8000 meter point, where you encounter a giant Warper and he launches an impossible to avoid wormhole that teleports you all the way back to the beginning.

[tdoyr]

I think they should’ve added something similar to the “abyss islands” in Barotrauma. Not many people know of that game, so I’ll explain them. The abyss islands are land masses that generate in the abyss, which is below the map. In the abyss you will find creatures far stronger, faster, and larger than what you could normally find. However, if you can evade these threats, you can reach little islands full of rare and expensive resources to collect.

I think it would be interesting if they added something similar that could have many rare resources or fragments (fragments wouldn’t make much sense, but it would be even cooler if you added story elements to it, like a previous expedition and more ruined habitats)

Subnautica modders, please make something like that. It would be very cool. Perhaps a new sub that could go into the depths of the void too? That would be pretty epic

The fact that the game teleports you back to the capsule when you go 8.000 meters deep in the void and this proves there is most likely a giant barrier box around the game world that teleports you back to the middle every time

[TheActualEnder]

For the bravest of souls, you can also try going down 8000 meters, and it will teleport you all the way back up to the kelp forest or something. This can be useful if you make a mistake and are forced to fall because of a save lock or something. So I guess depending on how far out you go, it will eventually just tp you back.

When he said look very closely, i putted the one close to my face expecting a leviathan to jump him or something lol.

[tommy_]

the fact you do all these subnautica experiment vids in survival is insane. you’ve earned my respect - and a sub

[liamhartley]

When it started to say 'look very carefully' I was almost certain I was about to get rickrolled, it just felt like one of those videos

[BeaverZer]

before leviathins you could get the sea moth underneath the world.. it was creapy like being in the backrooms. endless roaring and just a rock surface

[coldfront.]

Is there a limit to depth and how far can you go from the map in older versions?

[Krisley_off]

you have all of my respect for doing this in survival

[Fede]

Very well done, congrats for reaching the edge of the map, terrifying as hell

[music-channel]

8147 is what it said before teleporting.

As you go deeper in the ecological dead zone, 3 of them spawn.

[pigeonqc]

The same thing happens when you go down at the edge of the map, when you leave the ocean's bottom, you go down around 8000 meters and BAM teleport near the capsule.
