Abyss Tubes Tier List (February 2026)

The subway is the main mode of transportation abyssas a means of transportation, determines how far you can swim into the world. They come in different types, each with unique stat lines that distinguish them from the others. Understanding the effectiveness of your conduits is crucial for deep sea exploration; after all, you don’t want your submarine to let you down in the late game areas.

So, to help you decide which tubes are worth buying, we’ve arranged them all in a tiered list. Please feel free to refer to it as you move through the different stages of the game so you can make an informed decision when purchasing.

Rank all pipes in the abyss

S class

Class S pipelines are all capable of handling the deepest parts of the ocean. Their stats differ slightly, meaning you can use any one of them and successfully complete a mission in any part of the map.

While the ruined pipe is usually the best choice given its acquisition method and overall stats, the bath pipe isn’t far behind.

tube	Statistics	Noteworthy aspects
ruined pipe	370 Oxygen Maximum depth 650m 480 kg load-bearing capacity 32 seconds speed	Can easily traverse late game areas without running out of oxygen. Top speed is good.
Bath tube	320 Oxygen Maximum depth 650m 580 kg load-bearing capacity 27 seconds speed	Can easily carry heavy fish, but sacrifices its top speed for higher weight capacity.
lost spirit tube	300 oxygen Maximum depth 600m Load capacity 370kg 30 seconds speed	Good at quickly traversing late-game areas, despite having relatively low carrying capacity.

The bathtub can only be purchased after collecting 15 ducks for Bob’s quest. guide to the abyss The locations of all 15 ducks are detailed, along with a brief description of the subsequent rewards.

Class A

A-grade pipes are both great options and can tackle certain parts of the mid-game and late-game areas. At some point, they will have difficulty reaching certain parts of the map, such as Angler’s Cave or Spirit Roots. Therefore, we recommend using the following boats to use caution when approaching these areas.

tube	Statistics	Noteworthy aspects
Flat tube	260 Oxygen Maximum depth 550m Load capacity 390kg 28 seconds speed	Deep areas can be traversed, but their oxygen and speed stats prevent them from easily traversing the end-game areas.
Oxygen tube	220 Oxygen Maximum depth 495m 250 kg load capacity 28 seconds speed	The mid to late game tube has decent overall stats. Limited availability in endgame.
rukiri tube	180 oxygen Maximum depth 460m 180 kg load-bearing capacity 24 seconds speed	Strictly a mid-game tube with decent stats. The lower top speed and carrying capacity make it less effective in the mid-game.

Class B

Grade B includes all medium pipes in the game. They are best used in the early and mid game and they will serve you perfectly. That said, these options don’t address the later parts of the mid-game, so one can’t expect them to handle end-game content at all.

tube	Statistics	Noteworthy aspects
airship tube	150 oxygen Maximum depth 375m 140 kg load capacity 20 seconds speed	Mid lane pipe with good stats in the early to mid game zone. Nothing particularly good at anything.
ship management	130 Oxygen Maximum depth 300m 140 kg load capacity 22 seconds speed	Zepline Tube has a slightly inferior version. Nothing particularly good at anything.
puffer tube	150 oxygen Maximum depth 140m 90 kg load capacity 22 seconds speed	Strictly an early game pipeline for early exploration of the ocean. Worth the investment for beginners.

Class C

Class C is strictly an early game option and once you manage to get your hands on the Blowfish Tubes, they are no longer worth anything. If it helps, we recommend not relying on them at all due to the limited scope of exploration they allow. So with these options equipped, you won’t be too far away from the dome, so switching quickly is important.

tube	Statistics	Noteworthy aspects
fire tube	120 oxygen Maximum depth 90m 55kg load capacity 20 seconds speed	This is a good choice for the early game, but is surpassed by the Blowfish Pipe. Consider saving resources for puffer tubes.
Ordinary tube	70 oxygen Maximum depth 50m 10kg load-bearing capacity 20 seconds speed	This is a good option to wait until you get your blowfish tube. Its low price makes it a good investment for beginners.
old pipe	55 Oxygen Maximum depth 25m 10kg load-bearing capacity 20 seconds speed	You can use the tutorial tube for the first five minutes and then never again. It is recommended to buy a regular tube and replace it as soon as you catch about five fish.
wooden pipe	40 oxygen Maximum depth 15m 5kg load-bearing capacity 20 seconds speed	There is almost no advantage to using this tube after the tutorial.
