The Gravity Gun Finally Lands
After a decade of exploration, Hello Games is finally giving us the one tool we’ve been begging for since 2016: a fully functional gravity gun. Dubbed the Gravitino Coil, this multi-tool module is a total game-changer for both inventory management and combat meta. It allows Travellers to yank heavy objects from the environment and either haul them to a transport or—better yet—hurl them at aggressive Sentinels.
Our take? The combat applications here are hilarious and effective. The energy output is high enough that you can actually grab weaker Sentinels and turn them into projectiles against their own squads. It’s the kind of emergent gameplay that keeps this 10-year-old universe feeling fresh.
Trash into Treasure: The Industrial Cleanup Loop
While we’re all going to use the Gravitino Coil to toss robots around, its "official" purpose is a massive QoL improvement for resource grinders. The Remnant update introduces a new gameplay loop centered around cleaning up toxic and volatile industrial waste that has blighted various planets. This isn't just busywork; the materials you salvage have massive resale value at new "processing planets" that have cropped up to handle the debris.
The Colossus Gets a Heavy-Duty Buff
To support this new "inter-galactic clean-up operation," the Colossus exocraft is getting its most significant overhaul in years. We’re looking at:
- Tippable Flat-beds: Specifically designed for loading and unloading heavy cargo.
- New Undercarriages: You can now swap out standard wheels for treads or even mechanical legs to handle rougher terrain.
- Deep Customization: New blueprints allow the Colossus to be as visually distinct as your primary starship or freighter.
A word of advice for the min-maxers: watch your driving. The source confirms that "unstable material" can react poorly if you bounce your cargo around too much on the way to the processing plant.
A Milestone Year for Travellers
Coming off the back of a massive 2025—which saw five major updates including Voyagers and Worlds Part II—the Remnant update marks the beginning of the 10th-anniversary celebrations for No Man’s Sky. This update also includes the Remnant Expedition, a coordinated community event where players are converging on a "particularly messy planet" to kickstart the cleanup efforts in massive exocraft convoys.
For those on Game Pass, the barrier to entry is zero. The update is rolling out now, and it’s clear that Hello Games isn't slowing down as they hit the decade mark. Our journey continues, and it’s looking heavier (and cleaner) than ever.
