✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust: 6,352 endorsements and 230k downloads show it's a go-to for combat mods.
- Finally lets you stop running and start blasting—perfect for Reaper Leviathan revenge.
- Actively maintained (updated Aug 2025), so it should work with current game versions.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires BepInEx and Nautilus—if you're new to modding, that's extra setup.
- Combat mods can trivialize the survival horror vibe—might ruin the tension if you want a challenge.
For Subnautica players who've had enough of running from leviathans and want to fight back. Also for modders comfortable with BepInEx and Nautilus. Skip if you prefer the game's original survival horror experience or want a more balanced combat overhaul.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure BepInEx is installed first and run the game once to generate the plugins folder, then drop the mod DLL there.
- Check that Nautilus is updated to match your Subnautica version—mismatches cause crashes.
- Test the cannon on a Stalker first to gauge damage before tangling with a Reaper.
