Much like its predecessor, Subnautica: Below Zero also has its fair share of console commands and cheats. To activate the console commands, press F3 while in-game. This opens a menu on the upper left side of the screen. Pressing F8 enables moving your mouse cursor, after which you’ll want to click on the white circle next to Disable Console. Afterwards, press F8 again.
Having done this, you can access the console by pressing the tilde (`) key. Look for it on the lower left corner of the screen. You shouldn’t have to remove the circle every time you play, but you will need to press F3 in order to activate the console commands and cheats in Subnautica: Below Zero whenever you start a new session.
