Hello Games’ latest update for No Man’s Sky is now live (sorry, Light No Fire fans expecting something else), and it’s a doozy. Remnant focuses on salvage operations, as players traverse planets and pick up scrap. It may not sound like the most exciting job, but I would counter with the fact that there’s now a gravity gun in the game.
No, not the Gravity Gun from Half-Life 2, but close. The Gravitino Coil is actually a new module for the Multi-Tool. On the surface, it’s a great way to pick up any magnetized junk, but you can also pluck Sentinel drones out of the air and send them flying.
Of course, all this waste will require some form of transportation, which is where the Colossus Exocraft comes in. This truck-type land vehicle isn’t just good for hauling salvage – you can install incinerators to break it down. Toss on an Excavation Blade and run through minerals and other nodes to collect their materials while moving. Naturally, its color scheme and cabins can be customized alongside other parts (including spider legs).
Between new titles, a new Expedition focused on salvaging, and much more, Remnant is yet another meaty addition to the sci-fi behemoth that is No Man’s Sky. As always, “more will follow,” so stay tuned for further updates.
