Subnautica 2 Better Vehicles Mod v1.2.1

                    
Subnautica 2’s vehicles already handle the core movement loop, but the defaults leave room for better speed, better storage, and less visual noise. The Better Vehicles mod adjusts the tadpole, its chassis variants, and the seafrog with balanced performance tweaks that make driving cleaner and more responsive. Furthermore, the mod improves cargo space and camera behavior on the haul chassis while optionally boosting wakemaker speed. Consequently, each vehicle feels more useful without turning the game into an overpowered rush.
What’s Included

Basic tadpole gets 8 upgrade slots, slightly better base speed, and better strafe speed.
Scout chassis gets much higher speed, better strafing, and reduced inertia.
Haul chassis gets slightly better speed, 35 cargo slots, and reduced film grain and vignette on the camera.
Seafrog gets a small speed increase.
Optional wakemaker speed boost, with this mod’s version overriding the Fin Faster value if both are installed.
Optional single-player-only change that disables seat and handle hints on the haul chassis.
Misc file variant that only increases upgrade slots from 4 to 8.

Why You Need This Mod
The default vehicle balance makes some chassis feel too limited, especially once you start relying on cargo space or frequent traversal. This mod smooths out those pain points by improving the vehicles that matter most without removing their intended role. Additionally, the camera cleanup on the haul chassis makes longer runs easier on the eyes and reduces the visual clutter that usually comes with heavy transport builds.
How to Get Started

Download the main Better Vehicles archive and extract it to your PC.
Open your Subnautica 2 installation folder and navigate to:
...\steamapps\common\Subnautica2\Subnautica2\Content\Paks\~mods

Create the ~mods folder if it does not already exist.
Extract all 9 utoc/ucas/pak files from the archive into the ~mods folder.
If you want any optional file, extract it into the same ~mods folder as well.
Launch Subnautica 2. The vehicle changes apply automatically.
To uninstall, delete the installed mod files from the ~mods folder.

Good to Know

Install only one main version of the mod. You can combine it with optional files, but you should not install multiple main versions at once.
Vehicle asset conflicts can break the mod. Avoid other mods that also change vehicle files if you want this one to work cleanly.
If you install the wakemaker boost from this mod and Fin Faster at the same time, this mod’s wakemaker value will win.
