The Bottom Line: Copper Locations & How to Get — you’re gonna need more of this than you think. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve had to swim back to a cave because I thought ‘three is enough’ and then needed six more for the next upgrade. Mark the locations on your HUD. Set up a Scanner Station nearby. And if you find a large vein, don’t walk away — come back with the right tool. Your future self will thank you when you’re not hunting for one more piece at 2 AM.
