No Man’s Sky is almost a decade old, and developer Hello Games is still dropping free expansions for it every couple of months, including today’s one, Update 6.2, AKA the Remnant update. The Remnant update is themed around interstellar environmentalism–and most importantly–harnessing the power of gravity to help you clean up your messes.
The Gravitino Coil is a new anti-gravity module that can be slotted into your multi-tool, allowing you to grab chunks of stuff and responsibly deposit them in recycling receptacles–or yeet them into the horizon if you’re feeling irresponsible. Other new additions to the game include Waste Processing Plants, where materials can be recycled into rare resources. Salvageable scrap and industrial waste can be found on several planets, and you’ll need to gather the debris with your new Gravitino Coil so that you can earn rewards.
Of course, there’s a limit to how much you can carry, so it’s a good thing that aspiring scrap-hunters can install a tippable flatbed on the Colossus Exocraft. An electromagnetic containment field minimizes cargo loss, but you’ll still need to be careful when you’re driving on rough terrain or up steep slopes. New super-elastic wheels, tracked treads, and off-road running gear should help with navigation, and a time-limited expedition will start soon for the No Man’s Sky community. Colossus vehicles can also be equipped with a furnace for immediate disposal of industrial waste, as well as a new obstacle-demolition attachment for collecting a small number of resources from minerals and vegetation.
It’s impressive to see how Hello Games continues to support No Man’s Sky with fresh updates after all these years. The addition of a gravity gun and new vehicles sounds like a fun way to explore the universe! Excited to see where this game goes next.
Absolutely! It’s really remarkable how they’ve managed to keep the game evolving, especially with features like the gravity gun that adds a new layer of gameplay. It feels like there’s always something new to discover, which keeps the community engaged. Plus, the addition of vehicles like garbage trucks is a fun twist on exploration!
