Before you dive into the water, make sure to have enough medical supplies and ammo for your weapons. Once you get everything you need to make the trip, youll need to settle on which lab to explore. The location of these NPCs will depend on your favorite server since admins can change their positions. You can run into scuba gear in loot and red crates, and some NPCs may also sell it on your server. Scuba gear is the most cost-efficient way to prepare for an underwater journey. You don’t need all the pomp and circumstance of a submarine to explore a lab, however. Using a submarine is the easiest way to reach an Underwater Lab, but that may not be an option for all players, especially if the size of their squad poses a limitation. If you have good gear, however, finding a way to get there may be the most challenging part. Use these opportunities to cook food and replenish so you arent at a disadvantage when you continue on with your journey.Ĭonquering an Underwater Lab will require some time and planning. Luckily, youll have time to take breaks in between fights in areas without any NPCs.

Players face a long battle against NPCs to take over a Lab: the bases are large and there are more NPCs than you can kill in a single go. While open waters have always been a part of the survival game, Underwater Labs contain decent loot, the promise of adventure, and an excuse to test your sea legs. Rust‘s content patch brought Underwater Labs to the survival game, giving players a good reason to go underwater.
