No Man’s Sky Adds Big Mechs In Latest Update (VIDEO)

No Man's Sky Mechs

Hello Games has added a plethora of content to their space exploration/survival title over the past year, including VR support and much more. That said, a new update has arrived for No Man’s Sky and it has added controllable mechs to the game.

The Exo Mech update is the latest free update and is currently available for all No Man’s Sky players. The mechs may be the main focus of the update, but they aren’t the only thing to be added to the title. New quality of life improvements have arrived, solar tech, improved Exocraft, and much more. You can check out the trailer for the new update below:

Here’s a bit more about the new No Man’s Sky update:

THE MINOTAUR

  • Added a new planetary Exocraft, the Minotaur Heavy Exosuit Hybrid.
  • Acquire the plans for the Minotaur Geobay at the Construction Research Station aboard the Space Anomaly.
  • The Minotaur allows exploration in even the most extreme environments, with a unique hazard protection upgrade that keeps the pilot safe from environmental damage.
  • The Minotaur comes with its own set of upgrades and technologies.
  • Blueprints are available to purchase from Iteration: Perses on the Space Anomaly.
  • Upgrade Modules can be found at the Exocraft Technology Merchant at your local Space Station.
  • Other specialist Minotaur abilities include the ability to upgrade its mining laser with Terrain Manipulation capabilities, and the ability to collect or harvest rare planetary resources such as Storm Crystals without leaving the safety of the cabin.

EXOCRAFT HAZARD CHANGES

  • Exocraft no-longer grant immunity to planetary hazards by default. External environmental conditions will now drain the player’s hazard protection, though at a reduced rate from on planet.
  • Specialist technologies have been made available at Iteration: Perses on the Space Anomaly that allow Exocraft to be upgraded to prevent environmental damage

NEW EXOCRAFT TECHNOLOGIES

  • Perses now also offers the Icarus Fuel System, an Exocraft upgrade that recharges the engine during daylight.
  • The Exocraft Scanner has been improved. Performing a standard scan will now reveal all nearby points of interest – i.e. all those that would be revealed by using the Analysis Visor.
  • Added an Orbital Exocraft Materialiser. This is a new freighter module that will allow all Exocraft to be summoned while the freighter is in-system.
