Unknown Worlds pushed the latest Subnautica 2 hotfix, and aside from the usual bug squashing, this one's all about making aggressive fish less so. The vocal segment of Subnautica 2's fanbase that took issue with how hard it is to evade the local wildlife — complaining about surviving in a survival game, in other words — has only grown more vocal since the issue first surfaced. But changing enemy behavior is just not the way to go about handling this issue.

For reference, here's what the hotfix does:

Hammerheads no longer attack unpiloted Tadpoles. Hammerheads can still take an interest in Tadpoles.

Increased overall damage of Marrowbreaches.

Spaced out Marrowbreach attacks to occur less frequently.

Reduced Nibbler perception range, making players less visible to them.

Increased the duration Nibblers circle the player before attacking.

Reduced........
