Firstly, if you are in the sub when it explodes, you will be instantly killed, and any docked vehicles like the Seamoth or Prawn Suit being destroyed. The Cyclops will then become a wreck at the bottom of the ocean with a few openings to ensure you can retrieve any placed items, items kept in storage, or the upgrades panel. You can also recover the power cells afterward, although they will have no charge remaining. Finally, when a Cyclops explodes, it will be marked with a beacon so that you can return to it later and retrieve anything that you want from the wreck. While operating the Cyclops, it is also essential to consider how much noise it generates. Every aspect of the Cyclops’ operation emits a certain noise level, with the higher noise levels reaching a greater distance. Any aggressive creature in the range of the noise will then be drawn to the Cyclops, and just how far the noise is coming can be read using the blue spheres of the sub’s sonar HUD.
