@@iAletho do you know this little fun fact about the snofox hoverpad that doesn't require any source of energy for being able repaire the snowfox and even for being able to recharge recharge the snowfox? Yep, so if you perfectly understand this fun fact, you should notice that the snowfox hoverpad cost you less ressources than a battery charger, require no energy drain from your base and is mutch faster the reacharge a battery then if you simply put them inside your pile charger. So, if someday you don't have any more power in your base and you possses a snowfox nearby, you simply need to keep insede your inventory or your quantum storage an advanced kit for simply building a snowfox hoverpad anywhere you want for simply recharge your batteries if you need it because yes even if you lost in the artic spire biome and you don't have any battery, even in this biome, you can easily find 2 titanium than build your snowfox hoverpad without the need to connect it to a solar panel or even a termal plant system to work. Ps, I think this is a little bug, because we can effectively connect an energy source to our snowfox hoverpad but at the end it doesn't do anything else than simply stealing an pretty useful power energy generator from being used in your base so just keep in mind that, its always good to take when you are in some very serious emergency with your battery supply and mutch importantly wen you really need to improve your energy draining from your base first😅
The snowfox is cool, but the prawn suit with a grapple arm can go 3 times as fast. You can decimate the land sections of the game with amount of speed.
Yeah I like the concept of the vehicle, but it just seems a bit to clunky to be viable imo, unfortunately the sections where it can be used properly a few and far between. If it handled a bit better that might not have been an issue, but I suppose we will never know!
I would have designed it so you can hover around on land, but also dive off into the water and have the turbine switch modes, giving you an amphibious vehicle that is very fast in water and on land at the cost of no protection. It should be a little more maneuverable too, especially in terms of side-to-side strafing.
The snowfox always felt so clunky to me. I always say how I expected it to operate like a Ghost from the Halo franchise. Now THAT would have been great
@@iAletho right?? 😂 And when I played throught BZ the first time, it was still a pretty new game... meaning I lost a lot of playthroughs by having my Prawn clip throught the ice (grappling the ground in front of me to get bursts of speed). So there were NO good options for land exploration 😒
i always just went on land with my prawn suit because i found that the ice worm taking me of my snowfox would usually softlock me, so i would just run around in my prawn because when the iceworms attacked i would just speed boost and jet jump to the side (because jumping/walking to the side in the prawn makes you faster for some reason) and then the iceworm would just look disappointed at me. Found the snowfox more useful for escaping snowstalkers than iceworms.
man i love your videos, they are so well made, if you don't mind me asking what else are you gonna do other stuff like the aurora, equipment, escape capsules or anything?
Yep I definitely will do Swindle! I'm going to keep covering the vehicles and then I will move onto other things (I have a few ideas!) so watching this space! :)
Well my prawn suit for absolutely destroyed by the ice worms, so I didn't use it. But with the snowfox, I found that a well timed boost can allow me to essentially ignore them even as they hunted me. Boost at the right moment, and you won't get thrown off of it
sounds like you forgot to bring the repair tool? or did you not get breating room? cuz its stupid easy to ignore iceworms in the prawn if you have a grappling arm

I went my entire playthrough without building a snowfox, only to find out you got an acheivment for building it... so I built it solely to finish 100% the achievements and now its a decoration of phi island. Still haven't used it.
I am on my first playthrough now and have found great utility for it, mainly for traversing worm areas and exploring the great basin in general with much faster speed and visibility and without fear of hypothermia
@@thecyanpanda241 well from first game i learnt grapple is not as good on land, plus it's clunkier, and i don't even know if i did actually, I've only used snowfox and seatruck so far and just take 2 extra tanks, my rebreather, and hope down and i go to places like those crystal caves with the alien organs and always just make it
silent running being reworked into the ice worm upgrade makes sense to me. there aren't exactly an abundance of threats to the snowfox like the first game had towards every vehicle, so why not make it work against the only real enemy you might face when on a snowfox? (though cutting the extra upgrade slot feels kinda pointless). my only question is how it keeps you warm. Is there a butt warmer, or is it game magic?
Hm… If Unknown Worlds had a sister series to Subnautica based around land/underground exploration, I could see the Fox line of hover bikes performing a similar role to the Seaglide. Otherwise, it’s probably best left in the pile of half-baked experimental ideas that is Below Zero. Also, like literally every other vehicle, all those upgrades are things I would want as a standard for my ride; or at least permanent buffs instead of a module that needs to be swapped.
Feels like they could've just made an amphibious module for the Seamoth instead of making a one and done vehicle. Give it a hover module. The Seamoth in the 1st game had capabilities to leap quite high out of water and practically glide a little in the air so it should've made sense that with an upgrade module, it could become a fast amphibious vehicle.
I didn't walk in prawn suit... I did pogo hop in prawn suit! (not sure if it works at PC but at consoles it makes prawn go freakishly fast and even faster than snowfox)
The snowfox is very hard to control in the game - at least on PS4. Steering left to right uses the analog sticks differently to every other vehicle. It's hard to get used to the controls, so I didn't bother with it. Prawn is way better for any of the on-ice exploration anyway. I built a snowfox in my first play of the game, but decided it wasn't worth the bother after that, so now I just use the Prawn.
It’s useful for heating you up, and its infinite. Just go to where you wanna go while walking, drop the snow fox, get on, get off, and keep going with no energy lost, and keeping your heat.
i made it in first playthrough and riding on this was one of my favorite activities, trying to jump over bridge on this and was dissapointed because game haven't achievement for this, so many wasted opportunites for cool achievements in this games
I think that the snowfox feels like a waste of resources, because the prawn can do the same stuff as the snowfox. There should be some thing to buff the snowfox, and debuff the prawn. Something like a tight gap, where you can only get thru with a snowfox.
i mean the snowfox is cool and its fast but the prawn suit.. yeah so just drop an item u dont need, grapple onto it with the grapple arm or u can grapple onto a snow stalker/wall/floor and just go several times faster than the snow fox.. also the ice worm always flings me off the snowfox while it doesnt do that with the prawn suit, it can damage the prawn suit 25 to 50 hp but u can just repair it... yeah my experience with the prawn suit 5 out of 5 i didnt need to get worry about losing my hp on snowfox or other
I'd rather be in my Prawn Suit. This tiny thing can't function well when there's a giant ice worm digging nearby. It always kicks you off it. Prawn Suit Grapple+Booster maneuver can outpace anything in the game easy.
The snowfox is a great vehicle and all but once i pick it up and place it again it glitches under the ground, lost there forever and the worst part is i need to make a new one 😡😡
Hated it. It was the only other vehicle in BZ we got, and it couldn't even drive over water. So either make a landbase next to the land areas with a charge pad, or waste inventory slots, which were already competing with seaglide and spy penguin. It wouldn't even need to dive under water, but being able to skim over water surfaces as easy as land, would have dramatically increased its usefulness, especially since that behavior was already featured in promo trailers. Why they opted to make it move in a snails pace above water is beyond me.
Yeah it really feels like a vehicle that doesn't fill its intended gap very well, hence why I ignored it the first time I played the game! A shame really, as if it was smoother I think it would be a lot of fun!
I walked around with the prawn suit because 1 I didn't unlock the snowfox 2 with feet I'm gonna freeze to death 3 I wasn't using it for anything and it felt useless 😢😢😢😢😢 sorry but in th Subnautica below zero you go everywhere with the seatruck and at land with the snowfox sooooo where do I use the prawn suit? In first Subnautica you need it to go to the lost river but you will say why do we need the cyclops? Ummmmm you need to craft the cyclops shield for the rocket. And to keep the prawn suit with battery while you go to the lost river but you can put the upgrade that with hight temperature you will gain energy.
I only made the snow fox on my first play through to check it out but now I just use the prawn suit with double grapple arms. It is almost faster and has better jump if you grapple the floor and jump when you reach the grapple and it sends you flying.
I was really hyped for the snowfox, but it was kind of a let down. The ice worms were just mildly annoying and not actually threatening and I was hoping that the fact that the snowfox hovers would reduce these irritations, but to no avail. I was hoping for awesome dashes around the dangers of the world but instead the ice worm just awkwardly removes you from the bike, deals a bit of damage, then leaves you alone. I think that later builds of it were more controllable than when it was first added, but once again the prawn suit just negates the need for any other means of transportation just like in the first subnautica. I think the biggest flaw with the snowfox is the land portion of the game was just so uninteresting and I felt no need to go on land save to complete the story. In terms of Star Wars, I was hoping for a speeder bike and got a Boba Fett Vespa instead.
Yep definitely agree Rovel Fox, I had similar issues with BZ land portions which I mention in my review. I think the Snowfox tries to fill a gap that doesn't really exist, the Prawn is just so much more useful unfortunately. Lets hope they learn from this if we see the vehicle again in a future game! :)
I enjoyed using snowfox while playing, it was definetly faster than the prawn (I decided to complete the land portion of the game first) and it was wuite fun. I see a lot of people that don’t like the way that snowfox moves but for me it’s definetly felt realistic. I think that it would be fun to have some sort of upgrade that would allow players to have fast travel over water, it wouldn’t be to useful however I would prefer using it instead of traveling with a seaglife or the seatruck.
I did build the snowfox, and found both it, and the major above surface biomes of the game to be disappointing. They are mostly an excuse to Frankenstein a racing game into what is already an enjoyable exploration and base building game
Still really hate how bad it is, since the upgrades literally do so little, the ice worm upgrade does extremely little like it's almost useless the jump is actually somewhat useful(like the big gap close to phi robotics but it doesn't save much time). The fact that you get knocked off every time you get attacked by the ice worm is truly infuriating, especially since you can take the prawn and go trough with zero hassle(except if you are like me and down know the ice worm is coded to attack an empty prawn, I lost my fully kitted prawn and 10+ cubes).
The whole you get knocked off every time a ice worm attacks also annoyed me a little bit, it knocks you of about 80% of the time and the problem with it is that it doesn't allow you to speed around the map or do things like stunts since it's probably the first thing you want to do with it, but then out of nowhere a ice worm attacks. Other than that I enjoyed it
@@jamesdekock8729 yh, but where else are you supposed to use It, the flats and the passage from phi to the excavation site are the only places where you could use it effectively, and one of those places you can't use it effectively, truly sad it's a cool vehicle but in all honesty not that useful.
@@theultimatetactician1712 You could jump iceberg to iceberg lmao. Could see that as a fun challenge... that is if the jump upgrade is enough. It's a shame the map wasn't made bigger, could've seen more use for the snowfox
@@jamesdekock8729 but the icebergs don't have anything on them and they don't lead anywhere special if we're talking bout the ones in the west sparce arctic, like one has a cache on it, and also some minor resources but that's about it. So just for fun, maybe possible, but I don't think the snowfox was added for that purpose exactly.
In my opinion the snowfox is a useless piece of garbage. Gigachad prawnsuit goes way faster and can jump across the bridge with thr grapple arm, as well as charge at thermal vents. Plus you can mine the resources and stay warm.
I built a snowfox my first playthrough and although at first seemed unusable I eventually got used to it. I like that it's much faster and smoother than the prawn. Actually using a prawn for more than few minutes causes me headaches due to the constant up down bobbing while walking.
Fun fact the snofox hoverpad doesn't require any source of energy for repaire the snowfox and recharge it. And if you understand this fun fact, you should notice that the snowfox hoverpad cost you less ressources than a battery charger, require no energy drain from your base and is mutch faster the reacharge a battery then if you simply put them inside your pile charger. So, if someday you don't have any more power in your base and you possses a snowfox nearby, you simply need to keep insede your inventory or your quantum storage an advanced kit for simply building a snowfox hoverpad anywhere you want for simply recharge your batteries if you need it because yes even if you lost in the artic spire biome and you don't have any battery, even in this biome, you can easily find 2 titanium than build your snowfox hoverpad without the need to connect it to a solar panel or even a termal plant system to work. Ps, I think this is a little bug, because we can effectively connect an energy source to our snowfox hoverpad but at the end it doesn't do anything else than simply stealing an pretty useful power energy generator from being used in your base so just keep in mind that, its always good to take when you are in some very serious emergency with your battery supply and mutch importantly wen you really need to improve your energy draining from your base first😅
i recently finished Below Zero for the first time out of spite - made sure to get every achievement to be fully done with it - and by god, is the Snowfox clunky as hell. Felt kinda vestigial too, as i found it weirdly faster to just sprint everywhere (couldn't be bothered to make a prawn suit). got Below Zero the second it launched into Early Access, and i'm so disappointed in how it turned out. let's hope Subnautica 3 is as good as the original.

Snowfox is an appropriate name, since foxes live in burrows and mine disappeared into the ground about ~70% of the times I deployed it.
The snowfox is cool, but the prawn suit with a grapple arm can go 3 times as fast.

I straight up WALKED through all land sections of the game
I made one once and somehow it got under the ground after I got off during the test run. I just ended up using my prawn suit (drill and grapple arm).
I'd say Arctic Pain. It's a damn magnet for Ice Worms, and gets hit by them even if you're a Cyclops away.

I see a lot of people that don’t like the way that snowfox moves but for me it’s definetly felt realistic. I think that it would be fun to have some sort of upgrade that would allow players to have fast travel over water, it wouldn’t be to useful however I would prefer using it instead of traveling with a seaglife or the seatruck.
I did build the snowfox, and found both it, and the major above surface biomes of the game to be disappointing.
They are mostly an excuse to Frankenstein a racing game into what is already an enjoyable exploration and base building game
Subnautica’s owners do know that you can’t use hover in power and no gravity, right
built it once, never used it because uh, prawn?
CRAP vs PRAWN!
I build it just for achivement
sow fox a fun time until it clips thru the map and leafs u stranded in iceworm teritory during a blizard in hardcore and u dont have anny more food
Imagine is subnautica 3 was an mmo game.
Still really hate how bad it is, since the upgrades literally do so little, the ice worm upgrade does extremely little like it's almost useless the jump is actually somewhat useful(like the big gap close to phi robotics but it doesn't save much time). The fact that you get knocked off every time you get attacked by the ice worm is truly infuriating, especially since you can take the prawn and go trough with zero hassle(except if you are like me and down know the ice worm is coded to attack an empty prawn, I lost my fully kitted prawn and 10+ cubes).
The whole you get knocked off every time a ice worm attacks also annoyed me a little bit, it knocks you of about 80% of the time and the problem with it is that it doesn't allow you to speed around the map or do things like stunts since it's probably the first thing you want to do with it, but then out of nowhere a ice worm attacks. Other than that I enjoyed it
@@jamesdekock8729 yh, but where else are you supposed to use It, the flats and the passage from phi to the excavation site are the only places where you could use it effectively, and one of those places you can't use it effectively, truly sad it's a cool vehicle but in all honesty not that useful.
@@theultimatetactician1712 You could jump iceberg to iceberg lmao. Could see that as a fun challenge... that is if the jump upgrade is enough. It's a shame the map wasn't made bigger, could've seen more use for the snowfox
@@jamesdekock8729 but the icebergs don't have anything on them and they don't lead anywhere special if we're talking bout the ones in the west sparce arctic, like one has a cache on it, and also some minor resources but that's about it. So just for fun, maybe possible, but I don't think the snowfox was added for that purpose exactly.
@@theultimatetactician1712 Yup just a fun challenge
its cool, its sleek its fast. BUT IT HANDLES SO GOD DAMN POORLY! you are betetr of going slow and strong with the prawnsuit!
What's ur birthday at? Just curious
I thought that it was nicer to use than the prawn on land but would be removable from the game.
Yeah I would probably make one if I started a new playthrough, but I definingly still prefer the Prawn Suit V1PER!
I modded my prawn suit so I didn't have to use the pile of crap.
I’m totally gonna try and make this and then make it horrible
I didn't like the Snowfox, the idea was neat, but it was awkward to pilot, and I gave up on it for mostly walking on foot.

The early bird gets the 6th view? 😅

I didn't use it I like the seatruck better
Real Chads use prawn everywhere
It's useless. The prawn suit is faster and has better handling just with bunny hopping. And if you do get hit by a worm, you don't fall out of it.

In my opinion the snowfox is a useless piece of garbage. Gigachad prawnsuit goes way faster and can jump across the bridge with thr grapple arm, as well as charge at thermal vents. Plus you can mine the resources and stay warm.
I get nausea every time I drive this crap
ABANDON SHIP!
*Dancing Intensifies*
Garbage, just say no. Explore the ground with a prawn suit.
The amount of times I've issues with my snowfox falling through the ground are a lot more than my prawn suit ever had 😢
I had the exact same issue filming this Noel 😂
Same thing happened to me too.
Always found the snowfox a disappointment tbh. Great vid though 👌
Thanks Willy!
I mean, it’s fun to drive around, just not particularly useful.
Without the mod that makes it waterproof it is not the most useful
I mean mods fix that, but it is still disappointing.
Yea the snow fox had so much potential an I was really disappointed
I completely forgot about the snow fox, I always use my pawn suit for land exploration
Me to VideoBen! I never even made it when I playing through the game for the first time!
i used snowfox and always was uncomfortable with prawn lol
I built a snowfox my first playthrough and although at first seemed unusable I eventually got used to it. I like that it's much faster and smoother than the prawn. Actually using a prawn for more than few minutes causes me headaches due to the constant up down bobbing while walking.
Oh no, I don't think that was the plan Magilvia! I have to say it was interesting to try it out this time!
how tf did the headbob give you a headache?
how's that even work lol
@@vizthex motion sickness obviously
@@magilviamax8346he never responded😢
Fun fact the snofox hoverpad doesn't require any source of energy for repaire the snowfox and recharge it. And if you understand this fun fact, you should notice that the snowfox hoverpad cost you less ressources than a battery charger, require no energy drain from your base and is mutch faster the reacharge a battery then if you simply put them inside your pile charger. So, if someday you don't have any more power in your base and you possses a snowfox nearby, you simply need to keep insede your inventory or your quantum storage an advanced kit for simply building a snowfox hoverpad anywhere you want for simply recharge your batteries if you need it because yes even if you lost in the artic spire biome and you don't have any battery, even in this biome, you can easily find 2 titanium than build your snowfox hoverpad without the need to connect it to a solar panel or even a termal plant system to work.
Ps, I think this is a little bug, because we can effectively connect an energy source to our snowfox hoverpad but at the end it doesn't do anything else than simply stealing an pretty useful power energy generator from being used in your base so just keep in mind that, its always good to take when you are in some very serious emergency with your battery supply and mutch importantly wen you really need to improve your energy draining from your base first😅
But what if you are underwater?
The Snow Fox would have been so cool… …if surface gameplay in BZ were anywhere near „cool“ or „fun“
The idea was good, the execution not so much.. 😅
As a member of PRAWN gang I’d actually call the snowfox the arctic devil.
PRAWN: the better land vehicle.
Prawn Gang Rise Up! 🦐
I just finished below zero and I basically only used the Prawn on land. I built the snowfox towards the end, and i just didn't like it.
I never used it either Joha, I only actually played with it when doing the research for this video!
@@iAletho What's your opinion on Below Zero in general?
i recently finished Below Zero for the first time out of spite - made sure to get every achievement to be fully done with it - and by god, is the Snowfox clunky as hell. Felt kinda vestigial too, as i found it weirdly faster to just sprint everywhere (couldn't be bothered to make a prawn suit).
got Below Zero the second it launched into Early Access, and i'm so disappointed in how it turned out.
let's hope Subnautica 3 is as good as the original.
If in doubt with subnanutica vehicles watch Aletho for 20 minutes. After that you'll be funnier and be able to work for Alterra
