The sea floor is mostly useless, as it lies far beyond critical depth, further than any ship will be able to survive unharmed. However, there is nothing to be found here. If intending to explore critical depth, players are advised to move the submarine slowly, as hull breaches occur more often when moving quickly.Ĭontrary to popular belief, the Abyss does have a bottom - if a submarine goes far down enough, it'll encounter the barren sea floor. For this reason, submarines designed for deep-Abyss travel should always be fitted with exterior lights, as well as extra layers of hull. The most notable sign that you are approaching critical depth is when all the exterior lights on the submarine begin to flicker, then shatter. Additionally, heavy ordinance such as Nuclear Shells should be brought in high quantity, preferably filled with explosives.įor obvious reasons, it is recommended to avoid going to these depths at all, much less diving in them.ĭepths below ~3500 are commonly referred to as "Critical Depth", where at any moment, the submarine may spontaneously implode, destroying nearly all structures in the sub and killing most of the crew. Past these depths multiple walls on the outer layers are advised, and all windows should be replaced with walls. It should be noted, with adequate protection of the hull, most submarines can survive up to depths of ~2000m before flooding. The pressure there is such that diving suits offer no adequate protection, and even the hull of the submarine take continual damage while in this zone the deeper the submarine is in the abyss, the faster it breaks.
In Barotrauma, the Abyss is defined as the layer of the ocean from 4000m depth and deeper, until the bottom of the levels. Notes: Needs to be up to date with the current steam version.
