-![Adaptation Logo](Adaptation Logo.png)+Pressure Tolerance is the first [Adaptation](Adaptations) unlocked in Subnautica 2. It is found in [Sleep Bay 3](Sleep_Bay_3) soon after the [Qualified Investigator](Qualified_Investigator) awakens.

It is found in [Sleep Bay 3](Sleep_Bay_3) soon after the Qualified Investigator awakens. This adaptation allows users to withstand the immense pressure when underwater, enabling deeper exploration without suffering from pressure-related fatalities.+## Method of Obtaining  +Pressure Tolerance can be obtained from an [Angel Comb](Angel_Comb) immediately after starting a new game. The Angel Comb is located in a room directly adjacent to where the player spawns.+ +## Mechanics+ +*   The player slowly takes damage before acquiring the adaptation.+*   Players cannot exit the [Cicada](Cicada) in [Sleep Bay 3](Sleep_Bay_3) until they have acquired the adaptation.+*   The adaptation is taken from an uninfected [Angel Comb](Angel_Comb) and thus does not require connecting [Bloom Nodes](Bloom_Node) to be cured.+  ## Databank Entry  +![Adaptation Logo](Adaptation_Logo.png)+ +**Source:** Acquire the Pressure Tolerance Adaptation+  > At 100 meters below the surface, the pressure on your body is over ten times what it is on land—like an elephant standing on every square inch of you. Humans must breathe air under equal pressure or the lungs cannot inflate, but this carries severe risks: > > *   Below 40m, the nitrogen in air becomes narcotic, causing impaired judgment, delirium, and anesthesia. > *   As pressure increases, oxygen becomes toxic, causing tunnel vision, tinnitus, vertigo, and convulsions. > > Each additional 10m of depth increases the pressure by 1 atmosphere. Breathing normal air at 600 meters and 60 atm of pressure is fatal. The extreme pressures force gas molecules into the body's tissues, saturating them like a soda and disrupting their necessary function. > > Deep-sea organisms produce a molecule called TMAO (trimethylamine n-oxide). TMAO is a stiffener for water molecules, helping them hold their shape against pressure. Adapting your body to produce this stiffener will reduce the rate of gas saturation, allowing your pioneer nanomachines to clean up the fatal fizz as fast as it develops. This adaptation may result in long term liver damage, but the consequences fall beyond your current survival horizon. > > This adaptation will also prevent trimethylaminuria, a condition in which a seafood diet can lead to a powerful fishy body odor.->-> — *Source: Acquire the Pressure Tolerance Adaptation*  -## Acquisition+## Bugs  -*   **Location**: [Sleep Bay 3](Sleep_Bay_3)-*   **Type**: [Adaptation](Adaptations)-*   **Unlock Condition**: Found early in the game after waking up as the Qualified Investigator.+*   The adaptation can be bypassed through multiplayer by having another player take the adaptation and open the door preventing players without the adaptation from passing, allowing a player who has not taken the adaptation to proceed.
