Destroyed Lifepods

+# Destroyed Lifepods+ +![Destroyed Lifepod 3 Transparent](https://wiki.subnautica.com/sn/images/Destroyed_Lifepod_3_Transparent.png?28586)+ +**Destroyed Lifepods** are small survival vessels that were launched from the *Aurora* during its descent. While several lifepods survived initially, by the time the player wakes after being unconscious for three hours in *Lifepod 5*, it is the only one still intact; the others having sunk or been attacked.+ +The player can receive Signals pointing to the locations of Destroyed Lifepods, or clues that give a rough idea of where to find them, from the Radio.+ +As of now, nine Destroyed Lifepods are present in-game. Most Destroyed Lifepods contain abandoned PDAs with Data Downloads, and Data Boxes left behind by their occupants.+ +## Overview+ +| Lifepod | Biome | Coordinates | Radio Message Trigger | Items | Occupant(s) |+| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |+| **Lifepod 2**<br>CTO Yu's Lifepod sunk 500m before she abandoned it | Northern Blood Kelp Zone | -489 -500 1328 | Entering the Deep Grand Reef<br>Constructing a Thermal Plant | Abandoned PDA - Lifepod 2 Chief Technical Officer Yu's Voicelog (T+2min)<br>Data Box - Cyclops Depth Module MK1 | CTO Yu<br>Berkeley |+| **Lifepod 3**<br>Crew reported their seaglide damaged | Kelp Forest | -33 -17 408 | 600 sec after answering automated bounceback | Seaglide Fragment<br>Data Box - Compass<br>Abandoned PDA - Lifepod 3 Crew Log | 2 Unnamed Crew |+| **Lifepod 4**<br>Radiation suit recommended before attempting rescue/salvage | Crash Zone | 717 -7 161 | Spending 7 hours in the Safe Shallows<br>Entering the Bulb Zone | Abandoned PDA - Lifepod 4 Crew Log<br>First Aid Kit<br>Data Box - Creature Decoy | Unnamed Crew |+| **Lifepod 6**<br>Crew requested assistance navigating radiation | Grassy Plateaus | 356 -109 312 | Crafting a Habitat Builder | Abandoned PDA - Lifepod 6 Crew Log #1<br>Abandoned PDA - Lifepod 6 Crew Log #2<br>Data Box - Ultra Glide Fins<br>Flares x2<br>Lead | Unnamed Crew (Head of Human Resources)<br>Unnamed Passenger |+| **Lifepod 7**<br>Aurora crewmember requested assistance | Crag Field | -55 -179 -1039 | Spending 10 hours in-game<br>Entering the Prawn Suit Bay | Toy Car<br>An Unusual Doll<br>Gray Cap<br>Microscope<br>Abandoned PDA - Lifepod 7 Crew Log<br>Cylindrical Sample Flask | Unnamed Crew |+| **Lifepod 12**<br>Sunk to the ocean bed | Bulb Zone | 1112 -266 566 | Crafting a Laser Cutter<br>Spending 14 hours in-game | Abandoned PDA - Lifepod 12 Medical Officer Danby's Crew Log<br>Data Box - Repulsion Cannon | Danby |+| **Lifepod 13**<br>Carrying high priority passenger's remains | Northwestern Mushroom Forest | -919 -177 508 | Entering the Grand Reef<br>Building a Nuclear Reactor | Abandoned PDA - Lifepod 13 Emissary's Voicelog<br>Data Box - Ultra Glide Fins | Jochi Khasar |+| **Lifepod 17**<br>Stranded near a cave system and under attack | Grassy Plateaus | -510 -91 -45 | Crafting a Seaglide<br>Two hours after answering automated bounceback | Abandoned PDA - Lifepod 17 Crew Log<br>Seamoth Fragment<br>Ozzy | Unnamed Crew/Passenger(s) |+| **Lifepod 19**<br>Second Officer Keen's last broadcast location | Deep Sparse Reef | -808 -298 -873 | Crafting a Mobile Vehicle Bay | Abandoned PDA - Lifepod 19 Officer Keen's Voicelog<br>Abandoned PDA - Lifepod 19 Officer Keen's Crew Log<br>Data Box - Ultra High Capacity Tank | Keen |+ +## Gallery+ +![Lifepod 4 with a functioning flotation mechanism](https://wiki.subnautica.com/sn/images/thumb/LifePodWorkingFloater.png/200px-LifePodWorkingFloater.png?ce69a)+*Lifepod 4 with a functioning flotation mechanism*+ +![Damage on the outside and inside of Lifepod 13](https://wiki.subnautica.com/sn/images/thumb/LifePodDamage.png/200px-LifePodDamage.png?550cd)+*Damage on the outside and inside of Lifepod 13*+ +![The interior of a Destroyed Lifepod](https://wiki.subnautica.com/sn/images/thumb/LifePodInside.png/200px-LifePodInside.png?7fe1b)+*The interior of a Destroyed Lifepod*+ +![Destroyed Lifepods as seen on Trello](https://wiki.subnautica.com/sn/images/thumb/Exploded_lifepods.JPG/120px-Exploded_lifepods.JPG?d0488)+*Destroyed Lifepods as seen on Trello*+ +![Models from Sketchfab (Lifepod 17 and 3)](https://wiki.subnautica.com/sn/images/thumb/Destroyed_Lifepods_Model.jpeg/120px-Destroyed_Lifepods_Model.jpeg?a1d9c)+*Models from Sketchfab (Lifepod 17 and 3)*+ +## Trivia+ +*   In previous versions, Destroyed Lifepods all featured the same damage; it was due to a lack of art time, contrary to the theory that they were all attacked by Warpers.+*   A second Lifepod 3 had spawned in the Safe Shallows. This was removed in later versions of the game, however.+*   The only other floating lifepod is Lifepod 4 found near the Aurora in an overturned position. It is unknown what caused it to overturn. However, it was likely caused by a Reaper Leviathan as hinted by the distress signal and overall proximity to Reaper Leviathans, or might be from the Aurora’s crash, sending a shock wave which turned it upside down.+*   Lifepod 7 has a doll of YouTuber, Markiplier, inside of it.+*   Lifepod 4's secondary systems panel is defying gravity, as the pod is upside down, but the panel stays stuck to the floor, instead of floating around the pod.+*   Lifepod 17 has a Seamoth fragment next to it. This is most likely here because Ozzy said the Seamoth Bay of the Aurora almost landed on the Lifepod during its descent in the radio message.+*   Even though there are only a total of 10 lifepods in the game, 25 were launched from the Aurora, implying that the other 15 either burned up in the atmosphere, or landed in the Void, and ended being attacked by Ghost Leviathans.
