DNA
Subnautica features a mechanic that allows the player to sample DNA from alien life forms and transfuse them on the player.
To do so the player needs to sample the DNA using the tool called the Transfuser. While the Transfuser is still disabled in current builds, it can be spawned by using the Debug Console Commands.
In the future the Propulsion Cannon will be able to launch DNA serums at a distance.[1]
