No Man's Sky: Finding and using a multitool - the best tips
In No Man's Sky you embark on an infinite journey into space. Equipped with the multitool, you can explore numerous planets. This tip tells you where to find the multitool and how to best use it.
No Man's Sky: Find multitool
You get the multitool, also called multi tool, at the very beginning of No Man's Sky.
- At the beginning, however, it only has a few slots in which you can place additional skills and effects. In the course of the adventure you will encounter different alien races that offer you better multitools with more slots.
- You can also purchase the multi tools at special stations. The better models then have up to 24 slots, but are very expensive.
Tip: Use the multitool correctly
- With upgrades, you can convert your multitool into special weapons. However, you will not be able to switch between the multi-tool and the weapon: you will have to remove the weapon upgrades to be able to use the simple, original tool again.
- There are also technologies that alone improve the mining beam of the multitool. This way you can remove resources faster and more effectively.
- Your goal should be to fill the slots of your multi-tool with balanced improvements. We strongly recommend that you equip the scanner, plasma grenades and the analysis sight.
- In addition to the mining beam, you should also activate the flash gun, which is also helpful when mining materials. It is enough if you add four upgrades to the mining beam and three upgrades to the flash gun.
- While it is possible to upgrade the mining beam as a weapon with upgrades, we do not recommend it. Instead, use the lightning bolt, which is particularly suitable for protecting guards.
- To set up upgrades in the first place, you must first go to the crafting and equipment menu. Then go to the "Multi tool" tab to access the individual slots.
- You can find blueprints for new upgrades at technology terminals in space stations or in certain buildings. You will also receive these when talking to aliens if your diplomacy skills are high enough.
