Travelers are certainly going to want to get their hands on all the new content that arrived with the new patch, so we’ve created this handy guide to be your one-stop shop for everything you need to know about No Man’s Sky’s Interceptor update.
How To Find Corrupted Worlds
Everything in the Interceptor updatecan be found on the new Corrupted planets. These worlds have strange purple crystals erupting from their surfaces that have infected the local Sentinels, mutating them into dangerous new forms and causing Sentinel Interceptors to fall out of the sky.
There are a few ways of finding Corrupted worlds, but the simplest is tobring up the Galactic map and search for a “Dissonant” star system. This information should be viewable so long as your ship or Freighter has a Conflict Scanner equipped.
Dissonant systems without life won’t have Corrupted planets. Make sure the system isn’t uninhabited before you warp there.
Once you arrive in the Dissonant system,scan each planet until you find one that has the description “Corrupted Sentinels.“This description replaces terms that normally describe whether the Sentinels present are “aggressive,” “frenzied”, or “high-security.”
Another way of finding Corrupted planets isthrough the new Dreadnought AI Fragment, which can be obtained by destroying Sentinel Dreadnoughts.
For information on how to destroy Sentinel Dreadnoughts,check out this guide.
Where To Find Sentinel Multi-Tools
Sentinel Multi-Tools can be found in Harmonic Camps–once-inhabited encampments where the residents have all mysteriously vanished. These Harmonic Encampments can be found bysearching Corrupted planetsor by destroying Corrupted Sentinelsuntil one drops an Echo Locator.
Finding Corrupted Sentinels on a Corrupted World is relatively straightforward. Drones will appear on your Analysis Visor, or you could get one to come to you by mining Radiant Shards or picking up aGravitino Ball.
Once combat with the Corrupted Sentinels has begun, simplykeep destroying Sentinels until an Echo Locator appears in your inventory. Note that Echo Locators are random drops, so it might take a few waves before you find one.
For intel on the new Corrupted Sentinels and how to beat them,check out this guide.
The newSentinel Multi-Tool can be found in the Multi-Tool cabinetbeside the ruins of the main building. The cabinet is locked by a forcefield that must be disabled by interacting with the Harmonic Interface and solving a brief puzzle.
For info on how to solve the puzzle and claim your Sentinel Multi-Tool,check out this guide.
Once the lockdown has lifted, return to the cabinet to claim your Sentinel Multi-Tool. To unlock its full capabilities,you will need to repair the Sentinel Multi-Toolusing resources found on Corrupted planets.
Unlike other Multi-Tools, Sentinel Multi-Tools are not procedurally generated. Every rifle or pistol-style Sentinel Multi-Tool will look the same, although each will have slightly different stats and different supercharged equipment slots.
How To Unlock The Sentinel Jetpack - Aeron Turbojet
The new Sentinel jetpack cosmetic, the Aeron Turobjet, can be found byunlocking any Harmonic Terminal at any Harmonic Camp. You should have already unlocked the Aeron Turbojet if you’ve obtained a Sentinel Multi-Tool.
