When players first crash land onto Planet 4546B, they are equipped with nothing but the suit on their back. Before long, they'll gain access to new tools, weapons, technology, and more to help them dive deeper. survive longer, and uncover the mysteries of Subnautica: Below Zero. Electricity is a vital part of making all of this happen, and for some of the more advanced recipes, players are going to need a good bit of silver ore. While exploring the starting region, lucky players may find a bit of silver ore, but those wanting more will need to understand the best ways to get it.

Subnautica: Below Zero tasks players with surviving in a hostile and predominately underwater environment, and in order to do this successfully, they are going to need to use everything at their disposal. Silver can be used to craft a variety of very useful items, so it's in players' best interest to stock up on this valuable resource.

One of the primary methods of getting silver in Subnautica: Below Zero is to find and break Argentine Outcrops. These can be found in a wide variety of biomes including the Arctic Kelp Forest that the player starts in. While this may net the player one or two pieces of silver, they can be found in bulk in large resource deposits. Large deposits of silver can spawn in the Arctic Spires, Crystal Caves, Koppa Mining Site, Lilypads Crevice, and Lilypad Islands. Finally, silver ore veins can be found in the Glacial Bay and Glacial Basin biomes.

Silver is used in four different crafting recipes, but perhaps the most important of these is the high capacity oxygen tank. Players can craft a standard O2 tank with just some titanium and fiber mesh, but in order to upgrade it and further increase the amount of oxygen players have, they will need some silver. Other recipes that require silver include the wiring kit, the ion battery, and the parallel processing unit. Finally, silver is also needed in order to upgrade the scanner room's speed.

Searching in these areas, players shouldn't have any trouble finding all the silver they need for the aforementioned items. It's definitely a good idea to prioritize the high capacity O2 tank since this will allow players more freedom when exploring the frozen depths, but all of the other items also have unique uses.

Subnautica: Below Zero is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
