The '''Crash Zone Mesas''' are a mini-biome located in the southern portion of the [[Crash Zone]], close to the [[Crag Field]]. The six Mesas found here protrude above their surroundings, appearing as small islands of life amongst the barren dunes of the Crash Zone.

The Mesas harbor [[Flora]] not seen elsewhere in the Crash Zone, whether the lack of Flora elsewhere in the Crash Zone is due to the crash of the [[Aurora]] and subsequent irradiation of the area is unknown. A Reaper Leviathan patrols the area between Mesas two and three.
The '''Crash Zone''' is the [[Biomes|biome]] in which the [[Aurora]] crashed, hence its name. It is characterized by rocky slopes and deep trenches covered with sand and is littered with debris from the crashed spaceship. This biome is one of the eeriest biomes due to its open spaces and the presence of ten [[Reaper Leviathan]]s. The Crash Zone is also currently the largest biome in ''[[Subnautica]]''.

== Description ==
The Crash Zone is located on the easternmost part of the map, surrounded by a [[Kelp Forest]], [[Safe Shallows]], the [[Bulb Zone]], a [[Mushroom Forest]], the [[Crag Field]], and a [[Grassy Plateaus]].

There is a large amount of dry land on the eastern side of the Aurora which has plenty of debris and [[Metal Salvage]]. Also, flocks of [[Skyray]]s populate this area.

The Crash Zone possesses a distinct sandy, murky tint of water, and is nearly devoid of [[Flora]], though the western part that borders the Safe Shallows shares some of its flora. The biome makes up for this, however, with a wide variety of fauna, most of which being predatory - including the dangerous Reaper Leviathans. The [[Harvesting Node|harvesting nodes]] typically found in the area makes this biome a good source for raw crafting materials.

A portion of the [[Bulb Zone]] goes into the Crash Zone, near Aurora's front section. This small area contains a good amount of [[Limestone Outcrop|Limestone]] and [[Sandstone Outcrop|Sandstone Outcrops]]. It is guarded by a Reaper Leviathan.

The safest way to cross the Crash Zone is to follow the Safe Shallows as close as possible, then stick to the shallowest parts of the area. If attempting to enter the Aurora, it only takes a brief trip through deeper waters, although a Reaper Leviathan can frequently be found west of the entrance. The "landing" inside is shallow enough to provide some safety for embarking and disembarking. It requires a [[Radiation Suit|radiation suit]] and ideally should be done with a [[Seamoth]], as there is a radiation field around the perimeter.

{{ExtraSpoilersection|In the cinematic trailer, it is revealed that [[Bart Torgal]] built himself a [[Seabases|Seabase]] in what appears to be the Crash Zone or [[Safe Shallows]]. This base however is purely for lore purposes and does not appear in-game.}}

==Crash Zone Trench==
The Crash Zone Trench is the area behind the Aurora, which the latter unearthed during its descent. It is divided into two sections: The shallow, western trench, and the deeper and wider eastern trench.
Both contain [[Metal Salvage]], [[Quartz]], and [[Cyclops|Cyclops Bridge]] and [[Cyclops|Cyclops Engine]] [[Fragments]]. Although, the eastern trench contains many more fragments and some [[Supply Crate]]s with either [[Battery|Batteries]] or a [[First Aid Kit]] in them. No harvesting nodes can be found in this area.
There are a total of 3 Reaper Leviathans in this area. One in the shallow trench and two in the deeper one.

==[[Crash Zone Mesas]]==
Located behind the Crash Zone Trench and bordering the Crag Field are six [[Crash Zone Mesas|Mesas]]. They are submerged in the green and even murkier atmosphere and house a few species of Fauna, Flora, and Coral such as the [[Redwort]] and [[Coral Shell Plate]] which are found only in this area of the Crash Zone. A Reaper Leviathan can be found here.

== Trivia ==

* The Crash Zone Mesas do not show up on the generated map found in the game files, but is instead merged into the [[Crash Zone]].

==Trivia==
*The northern part of the western trench actually shares the biome of the [[Aurora]]. This could explain the large number of [[Supply Crate]]s and [[Cyclops]] parts.
*The ambiance is an edited version of the Sparse Reef & Dunes ambiance.
**Furthermore, it is the only biome to have more than one ambiance sound.
* There was once an entrance to an [[Inactive Lava Zone Corridor]] located beneath the Aurora, but it was removed in the [[Update History|Ghost Update]], most likely because it was an easy way to access the biome very early in the game.{{Citation Needed}}
