Active only when selected: extend arms into movement position. Replace battery when discharged.   **BACKGROUND**   A personal DPV (diver propulsion vehicle) for long-distance transit outside a submarine without constant finning. The arm-mounted form factor improves maneuverability in tight spaces and prevents pioneers from losing the DPV during stressful situations.   Not fully hands-free, but allows inventory management, item pickup, and routine touching/scratching. Do not throttle the Wakemaker until your hands are fully extended in the movement position.   Allegations that the Wakemaker is wrist-mounted so that it can steer expired colonists back to biobeds for recycling are ghoulish and false. User experience remains the design team's north star.   ## Gallery   ![The Wakemakers in use.](Wake Makers in Use.gif) ![Wakemakers in use.](Wakemakers in use.png) ![Wakemakers Dropped on the ground.](Wakemakers Dropped.png) ![The Wakemaker's first-use animation](Wakemaker first time.gif)   ## Trivia  -*   The Wakemakers are Subnautica 2's equivalent of the Seaglide found in Subnautica and Below Zero. Apart from their design and the missing hologram map, they appear to be identical in function.-*   The Wakemaker's turbines change their spinning direction based on the direction the player is moving.+- The Wakemakers are Subnautica 2's equivalent of the Seaglide found in *Subnautica* and *Below Zero*.
