No, why do you think that?

The true fear for me is not so much the leviathans they self but being in a huge place and fearing that they could spawn in any moment

I have two to three that spawn near my base and when I have headphones on it feels like their wails are shaking my base.

Fear of reefback.... the best source of Copper (and some silver), only the tiger plants can damage you (and the late game Reinforced Suit ignore the spikes).

I have a base going in the grassy plateaus, right below 2-3 reefbacks. I love the muffled roars they make when I'm inside the base. I'm always a little worried one will spawn or swim too close to my base and mess it up though.

I like em, but they’re mostly pointless. I love the gentle giant aspect of em tho.

I wish we had whales personally. I think whales moving at that pace makes more sense than giant rays.

They are pretty awesome critters, but I can't help but feel like they set you up a bit. I met them before the Reapers and was like "yay gentle giants" and then my world got rocked lol

I have it, but I’m stuck in the shallows after the storm. Idk what to do after that.

I’m on Xbox and it hasn’t been released yet

Until they I don’t know... RAM YOUR CYCLOPS (again)

Nah whats interesting is that health bar my dude why you out here risking your life for some pics of reefbacks go find a medpack or eat some food and sleep gd

#SEEK FLUID INTAKE IMMEDIATELY

I have seen them close to each other in front of the ship.. if you hang out right where the shrooms end

I dont think they indicate anything. But you do have a point. I don't think any hostile leviathians spawn in the areas reefbacks spawn.

They don’t necessarily mean this. But they represent it. The don’t die and reproduce basically invincible and create enzyme 42 so they are kind of all powerful

Unless a reaper follows you to them then I think your right.

I like to think so. Every time I hear their calls I feel safe.

They can spawn in the shallows on the rare occasion.

Also note that they are programmed to head toward the center of the map (which is the shallows) if you start fighting them.

I have probably chased at least 8 reapers from various biomes and they always ended up in the shallows.

They do glitch sometimes My subnautica world hosts some Reefbacks floating ABOVE the water

I should play Subnautica again

Probably, the "supposed extinct predator" was the gargantuan leviathan, so i'd go for that one

Curious (single vowel comes first. You'll get there!) I think they'd have to at least double in size. Right now I can only see the baby reefbacks getting taken down by reapers. Reefbacks are so wide and most leviathan have pretty little mouths. Maybe the sea dragon could hunt them as is but they live in different biomes.

Perhaps the gargantuan was like a boa constrictor. Maybe it would swallow them whole and slowly digest them.

courius (again sorry for my poor spelling)

If you know you're spelling it wrong, why not just look up how it is actually spelled?

Reapers use echolocation so they would absolutely see us as soon as we are in the range but I don't think they would swarm the player as we aren't a threat or a normal prey.

I've moved into the edge of the mushroom forest near the dunes to get a great view of 2 reapers

He moved out

Super annoying when that happens.

Sounds like you were a bad neighbor and drove him away.

The Warper ITMT

Lol

he has super hearing he couldn't stand the roars of the reaper leviathans so he decided to go to the safe shallows

Be thankful it isn't a Reaper 💀

That happens a lot. It happened to me at least thrice.

Yep. Reefbacks just spawn and get set loose on their course, and sometimes that aims them into the Shallows.

Now I've heard reports of divers doing this and they still fly off screen to be replaced with a functioning Leviathan.

Imagine you are the captain of a leviathan in that situation. "Shoot them with the lazers lieutenant!" "We can't captain, they destroyed the main lazer fins." "Damn them helldiver's!" "Alright continue to float threateningly right next to them!" " Right captain, that will show them who is boss!"

I will try this out next time I play

Thank you helldiver. I will use this strategy extensively.
