TL;DR
Aurora Ship
The Aurora is a key location for finding Prawn Suit fragments. Inside the Prawn Bay of the Aurora, you can find large fragments that are essential for unlocking the suit. You typically need to scan 3 or 4 of these large fragments to complete the blueprint [2:2],
[2:8],
[4:6]. It's crucial to ensure you've scanned all available fragments here, as missing one can lead to confusion about progress
[4:5].
Other Wreck Locations
Apart from the Aurora, several other wreck sites contain Prawn Suit fragments. Notable locations include:
Fragment Types and Misunderstandings
There is some confusion regarding the number of fragments needed due to changes in game updates. Initially, players thought they needed 20 small fragments, but this was corrected to needing only 4 large fragments [4:1],
[4:2]. If you encounter a "0/20" glitch, it might just be a visual bug
[4:8].
Use of Scanner Rooms
Building and using scanner rooms can significantly aid in locating wrecks and fragments. By setting up scanner rooms with range extenders, you can more effectively search areas like the Red Grass Plains and Floating Mountains for hidden wrecks [3:1],
[3:4].
Additional Tips
For those struggling to find specific fragments, such as the drill arm or grappling arm, exploring deeper biomes and using resources like YouTube tutorials can be beneficial [5:6]. These guides often provide visual walkthroughs that can simplify the search process.
I need 2 more help
They spawn in two or three of the large wrecks. It’s different each game play
The void
Where is that?
Do you know where grand reef is?
If you need help finding fragments I could definitely recommended the yt channel chemical apes when I played subnatica he was very helpful he has lots of guides on where fragments are
Okay thanks 😊
Idk if im the only one but, Im having a hrad time find all the prawn suit fragments. I tried looking it up on YouTube but all videos seem to be outdated. All they have to do is find like 3 fragments and they get the suit but now we need to find 20 !
I took a screenshot to show you guys what i mean .
if you are scanning small fragments, you get 1/20 of the prawn suit. if you go to the aurora and find the prawn bay, you can scan big fragments wich only require a few to get the prawn suit. my advice: go to the aurora
Without mods, there should be enough large fragments on the Aurora (you don't need 20 large fragments, the tooltip in game is confusing).
I have a mod that ups the required number, so I know where to find more.
The wreck in the floating islands has several.
Wrecks in the dunes and sea treaders path are likely to have some.
There are small fragments that can be found in wrecks that you need 20 of and big fragments that you only need 4 of and they can only be found in the Aurora
okay.. thank you hoooooooooomaaan ! :D
Wait what?
It’s 3 fragments and there all in the aurora.
Thats what i saw on other videos as well ,but in my game, it says i need 20 fragments, and i only found 4 so far :(
Are you confusing it with the ingredients required to make/craft the item, in this case a prawn suit.
I also found some other prawn suit fragments either underneath the mountain island on one of the floating islands or above the lost river in a few boxes outside a wreck
They all can be found in Aurora.
There might be spoilers for new players in this post since I am roughly mid game
I am mostly no spoilers, but I am looking at the basic map of the biomes and have at least been to every biome, but I'm not sure if I have fully explored some of the deeper/more dangerous ones. I have not found the entrances to the >!lost river caves!< yet, only the jellyshrooms.
But I am losing my mind. I have found around 20 propulsion arms for the prawn suit around the map, yet I still have not found the drill arm, jetpack, or grappling arm blueprints. I feel like I can't go much deeper than my seamoth/cyclops at 500m because the prawn without upgrades can't jump back up to the cyclops.
I tried to use the prawn without the cyclops to go deeper and got stuck in the >!north dunes by the alien biological history crater!<. I couldn't get myself up and over the cliffs using the prawn suit with no upgrades to get back to the mushroom forest before I died and reverted back to my last save.
I also haven't found one or more ingredients to make torpedoes for any of the vehicles.
I feel so stuck, please help!
I dont know if you're on console or not. If you're m&k, then you'll have the ability to access coordinates. There is a wreckage site that's relatively safe in the grand reef(-289, -773) approximately 200 meters deep that would have grapple arm fragments. There is another wreckage if you haven't already been to it in the middle of the underwater island biome directly next to the enforcement platform that 170 meters down should also yield some grapple fragments
Also, i believe the jump jet upgrade is an automatic unlock in the vehicle upgrade console
The only way you're gonna get nickle, though, is in the lost river. There is an entrance close to life pod 19 that is very tight, but it's my go-to for trips in the cyclops due to how safe it is and easy to navigate. Just hug the left wall in a seamoth with the best max depth module, and you'll reach the blue lookin stuff that's where you'll find the nickle
You need to investigate wreck sites. If you don't have it yet, you need to swim around with the materials to build a scanner room + solar panel + hatch, I reccomend 3x range extenders and 1x speed extender. Start with the wrecks in the red grassy plains, then, making sure your repair tool is charged, head north to floating mountains and be prepared to fend of sand sharks. Build your scanner room wherever you can and start with searching for wrecks. Find a wreck and switch to scanning for fragments.
I’ll start moving around the scanner room to help find wreck I might have missed. I did just explore the floating mountain wreck and that’s where I again found only propulsion arms and got fed up lol
did you already go fix the aurora?
I found some on my way to lifepod 19
OP I have no help, but I liked your username
If only my scientific research background would help keep me alive on 4546B lol
I did mine in microbiology. I learned to avoid leviathans 🤣
Foundations can be used as steps.
… can’t believe I never thought of that omg
I collected all the fragments in the prawn bay, but nos there is 20 more?? did i miss any? i saw people suggesting using commands but idk how to use that since im on the mobile version...
Can someone help?
Probably hardcore 2.0 mod
i have no mods installed, this is mobile.
It’s not a bug and not a mod, it’s vanilla. The 20 fragments are just for the “complete” prawn suit set, the suit, and all the different arms+upgrades types.
Scanning the prawn suit fragments (3 or 4 can’t remember) should unlock it.
You might be misremembering which fragments you’ve scanned.
Edit: nvm
in earlier versions of the game, you could scan the regular prawn arms to make progress for the prawn suit blueprint, which took 20 fragments, but it was completely broken, not only was is extremely difficult if even possible to find 20 of those arms (I believe it was very likely less than 20 total would spawn on the map), because it shared progress with the 4 suit fragments, it was extremely buggy
eventually they just made those arms unscannable and now you just scan the 4 suit fragments
sometimes it glitches and it shows the "0/20" fragments thing in current versions, you should be able to get it from the 4 normal fragments
the thing is, i ALREADY scanned the 4 normal fragments
am i softlocked 😭
There are some floating underwater islands towards >!the fun facility!< , there is another wreck that has a prawn suit fragment , once you scan that you can unlock the prawn suit normally , it happened to me recently and this is how I fixed it
i was in your exact situation, turned out i needed to go back to the wreck and scan one more prawnsuit
Are you sure you scanned the four ones on the Aurora ship? I went to the ship yesterday because I forgot to repair the reactor leaks and got the 4 Prawns, 0/20 glitch disappeared.
Technically no, because you can get a cyclops and make the upgrades that need kyanite by using a reinforced dive suit and several extra large o2 tanks or raw bladder fish or swim bladders. Then grab the kyanite pieces from the floor, make the trip home, and boom!
no, you should just have the blueprint, its just overridden by the fake 0/20 in the ui
It did this to me. You need to scan one or two more fragments. Try the grand reef wrecks or floating island wreck. Aurora might have one you missed.
On every other platform it's 4 fragments so maybe the Devs accidentally put a different version of the game onto mobile but that's just a guess.
I’ve seemed to look everywhere and can’t find them
Wrecks usually
I need it to be more specific, as in biome
I remember finding at least one part in the wreck on the floating islands.
Blood/ghost weeds? There’s a small section on the south side of the map that has a wreck, also check the huge wreck in the north side it I think has some laying around?
I found in dunes and floating islands, also sparse reef once gave me those
tbh, YouTube is your best search engine for things like this. You usually get straight to the point video tutorials
I usually find them in or near the underwater islands wreck and resort to the dunes wrecks if I can't find it at the islands. Watch out for reapers at the dunes tho
Hey I was just wondering where did you guys find all the prawn suit fragments?
There are a few in the underwater islands wrecks but aurora is the main area
You can find all of them inside the aurora
Iirc there are 3 in the Aurora
4, 1 hanging from ceiling and 3 on platforms
Aurora
Aurora Prawn Bay. There are fragments in other areas but they seem to give only 5% of completion for some reason. The Prawn in the Aurora gives 33% per piece.
I am far past exploring the aurora, I have a cyclops and a decent base, explored (hopefully all of) the lost rive, etc. Throughout my play through I have not come across any of the 20 parts that I apparently need to create the prawn suit. Is this normal or do I need to do some back-tracking? I’ve found several of the different arm attachments as well but am clueless on how to obtain the actual suit and would like to avoid having to google it.
About midway. If you've explored the Aurora, you walked right past the prawn fragments you needed to scan. In the prawn bay.
You only go past the prawn bay if you're getting "that one specific thing," not to repair the drive core, which i assume is what OP would have been doing at this stage. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Oh, right. I always go through from bottom to top, so even if I'm coming back later for that, I go through he prawn bay anyway.
Go back to the Aurora, you only need to scan the 4 fragments in the prawn bay
Thanks, thought I scanned them all the first time around but I guess I missed one. Feel like the 0/20 was a little misleading, don’t see how that relates to scanning one suit I thought I was looking for 20 different parts
It's best to clear the fire on the water filled prawn room. There is at least one mod in the prawn consoles.
There's like one or two outside the Aurora and it's kind of glitched that if you scan it before you get the ones in the Aurora it acts like you have to scan a TON of them.
That's because you're scanning big fragments. You can find arms in some wrecks, they give you fewer scan "points".
the 20 small parts a re a bit of a red herring, but that shouldn't lead you to ignore the big parts and if you scan those, you immediately notice that they are worth more.
You can get it a few hours in if you really want but you don't really need it until you're going to the lost river
Its really youre own pace although most people get one after going to the aurora, but i got the third seamoth upgrade before getting one
I also had to go to Aurora a second time, but not for the prawn suit, but because I forgot to repair the reactor leaks. Then I accidentally found 4 suits and I got it. It's easy to find. There is a little fire, but not a big problem. I don't know why there stays 0/20.
Also, I love how you play without Google. The game is supposed to be ultra difficult, not everyone to go with coordinates and to have the Seamoth, the Cyclops and the Prawn after only a couple days of playing.
I know that this is wreck 8 but i cannot find the databox or any fragments for the prawn suit arms and i know they're outside the wreck.What do i do? I'm playing on mobile btw.
You can find prawn suit arms in other areas as well. Just keep searching other wrecks. The wreck SW in the Grand Reed (or Sparse Reef, I cant remember which is which) has prawn suit arms for days.
The sparse reef is kind of green, and has barely any animals or plant life, only in trenches. It is where lifepod 19 is. The keen lifepod.
The grand reef is very blue, it is right below the floating island, and there is an entrance in that area to the deep grand reef where degasi base 3 is. The grand reef is the area with two ghost leviathans, where the sea treader's tread, and where the floating blue ball things exist.
Both are like right next to each other however, so it doesn't really matter.
This has been a helpful Subnautica Veteran, here since the pre-alpha of Subnautica 1. I'm here to inform!
Thanks a ton for the info! I appreciate the help. I’ve only completed the game once, so being able to tell all the biomes apart is a huge help for my second run.
True but this wreck has the cyclops fire suspression system blueprint
Ah I see. I’ve only just recently beaten the game myself so I’m not full-up on knowledge. Hopefully you can get it!
Hey does anyone know why my prawn suit drill arm fragments won't load? I went to the aurora and scanned the ones there but it still says I have found 0/20 of them! I can't find them anywhere please help

You need 4 for the suit itself. Once you scan all for it gives it to you. Mine said the 0-20 as well idk why it does that but
Oh ok i can't find the 4 Any ideas on where they could be?
There is large room inside Aurora with plenty of scannable Prawns. To unlock blueprint for this suit you must scan 4 big fragments or 20 little ones
how to find prawn suit fragments in subnautica
Key Considerations for Finding Prawn Suit Fragments in Subnautica:
Locations: Prawn Suit fragments are primarily found in specific biomes:
Depth: Prawn Suit fragments are typically located at depths ranging from 200 to 800 meters. Ensure you have the appropriate equipment (like a Seamoth or Cyclops) to reach these depths safely.
Scanner Room: If you have a Scanner Room, you can use it to locate fragments more efficiently. Set the scanner to search for "Prawn Suit Fragment" to highlight nearby locations.
Be Cautious of Predators: Some areas where fragments are found may have aggressive creatures (like Reapers or Warpers). Be prepared to navigate carefully or avoid these areas.
Use the Scanner Tool: Once you find a fragment, use your scanner to scan it. You need to scan three fragments to unlock the Prawn Suit blueprint.
Recommendation: Start your search in the Grand Reef and Lost River, as these areas tend to have a higher concentration of fragments. Equip yourself with a Seamoth for mobility and safety, and consider bringing a repair tool in case you encounter any damage. Happy exploring!
