Cuttlefish Skin Fragments are a material in Dave the Diver that are used to perform several weapon upgrades. More specifically, fans will need this material to create the Tranquilizer Rifle, Tranquilizer Triple Axel, and Tranquilizer Sniper Rifle, and those weapons can be used to put large fish to sleep. For those players that would like to get their hands on thees guns, this guide contains details on obtaining Cuttlefish Skin Fragments in Dave the Diver.
Dave the Diver: Cuttlefish Skin Fragment Location
Players that are searching for Cuttlefish Skin Fragments must focus their efforts on catching Cuttlefish, squid-like creatures that shoot ink and appear just below the 50m mark. Indeed, these cephalopods have a chance of awarding their skin fragments when captured, though that does occur fairly infrequently. Indie video game fans should thus be prepared to spend quite a bit of time catching Cuttlefish if they hope to perform the associated weapon upgrades.
To note, it is believed that 3-Star Cuttlefish award Cuttlefish Skin Fragments slightly more often than their 1- and 2-Star counterparts. Players are thus advised to use Hush Darts or Net Guns when hunting Cuttlefish, as incapacitation will result in 3-Star catches. That said, the drop rate for Cuttlefish Skin Fragments remains quite low, even when those Dave the Diver weapons are employed, and players should certainly not expect to earn one every time that they bring in a Cuttlefish.
The rewards do justify the requisite effort, though, as the tranquilizing weapons that can be made from Cuttlefish Skin Fragments are very useful. Indeed, having the ability to tranquilize large fish in Dave the Diver, such as sharks and tuna, is significant, and players are advised to use their first three Cuttlefish Skin Fragments to make the Tranquilizer Rifle. This weapon is recommended because it has a fairly large magazine, giving fans many attempts to land a sleep-inducing shot upon their target.
One final thing to mention is that there is a weapon that is capable of tranquilizing large fish and can be crafted without any Cuttlefish Skin Fragments. That weapon is the Modified Hush Dart, and two consecutive shots from it is enough to sedate any creature in Dave the Diver. However, players will not have access to the materials that are needed to create the Modified Hush Dart until quite late in the game, and attempting to bypass the weapons that are made with Cuttlefish Skin Fragments is thus not recommended.
Dave the Diver is available now for PC.
