What are Biomods, Bioscanner, and Biolab in Subnautica 2

In Subnautica 2, biomods are upgrades that give the player specific skills. The skill can either be passive or active. Currently, there are 15 biomods available. Four (4) biomods can be unlocked by default. You need to use the bioscanner to unlock the rest of the biomods. Here are the steps to unlock them:

Step	Walkthrough
1	Scan a Bioscanner fragment.
2	Craft the Bioscanner in the Modification Station.
3	Use the Bioscanner on the corresponding organism that unlocks them.

Now that you have the biomods, you need the Biolab to equip the biomods.

How to Get the Biolab

In Subnautica 2, you can find the Biolab in the "Welcome Center" habitat. It is 83m southeast from the lifepod.

To access the "Welcome Center," you need a battery to power up the nearby terminal. The power socket is in the main room.
