EVERYTHING You Need To Know About MULTI-TOOLS In No Mans Sky 2023!!

[@annastasijaspellman2536]

If you put a normal mining laser on the sentinel gun, next to its sentinel mining laser. It causes it to do like 3 times the ming damage and makes it almost impossible to over heat.

[@prodbygoldyn]

same with the atlantid if you put it over the runic lense, so I would say those two are actually the best for mining

[@NiekTheFreak]

The haven't patched that yet?

[@LutzkhiesArchives]

6:06 Multitool stats atlantid has the highest mining now at about 35-50 (pistol at 35 max), I tested it out myself. I upgraded an atlantid to S-class and open up a save editor to check the stat, 42 mining which is higher than a pistol at S-class therefore the lineup right now is 1. Experimental/Royal for scanning 2. Atlantid for mining 3. Staff/Sentinel for damage slot 4-6 is your choice of MT

[@user-ds5jd5zy2d]

Could you write more about how to check the real values of multitool, please?

[@LutzkhiesArchives]

@@user-ds5jd5zy2d oh I didnt realize someone replied to my comment, you can check the actual value (base stats) using a save editor on PC, having higher base stats means getting higher stats when adding upgrades to them, right now the best of each category is 1. Mining: Atlantid 2. Scanning: Royal/Experimental 3. Damage: Staff/Sentinel On PC you can assign them numbers so that you can switch mutitool easily for each purpose GoatFungus Save Editor also works for PS and XBox though I havent tried them yet

[@timz5106]

​@@user-ds5jd5zy2d I was checking comments to see if anyone already did extensive homework on the bonuses and noticed it didn't look like you got an answer yet. 1. Nom Nom and Goatfungus are the two most used save editors. I would suggest Nom Nom for this purpose just because it's very user friendly. 2. Open your latest save then switch over to the Multi-tool tab. 3. It'll list your multi-tools in order and type, so if you have multiple of the same type you wish to check remember the order they're in. 4. Under Base Stats for a multitool bonuses are listed lowest possible bonuses on the left, highest possible on the right and the one in the middle with the long decimal point is the actual bonus the current multi-tool has. (if you're feeling cheaty the middle number is the one to adjust). 5. I will note that Nom Nom save editor doesn't seem to recognize the Atlanted tools yet as a type and it shows the same min-max as alien, however the middle values for the ones I've checked matches what LutzkhiesArchives was saying. It has been a higher mining stat than any pistols I've seen.

[@jasonfields9589]

The new staff multitools also come with infinite invisibility built in. Really handy for fighting sentinels!

[@notveryartificial4486]

Huh? No they don't? Optic camo tech was buffed to work for 15 seconds instead of 7, but it works absolutely the same on staffs, and it's not built in. Install tech, get invis for 15 seconds. That's it Atlantis multitools have unique mining beam variant installed that doubles as an invis tech, but even it is the same as regular invis tech - 15 seconds max

[@jasonfields9589]

@@notveryartificial4486 I may have some kind of beneficial bug then! I don’t have the optical camo installed on my staff but I can use it infinitely. I’m literally doing it as I’m writing this.

I have an S-class alien multitool with the Incinerator weapon on it (I got it after seeing a Jason Plays video during the brief period it was in-game at specific locations), but I'm afraid to move it to other weapons in case moving it does something like breaks it. I guess you can still add it using the save editor, but any word if it's still available in-game anywhere? It's legitimately my favorite weapon, even without any upgrades available for it.

[@Skwebby]

Thanks for the video, I’m always learning! Also, I have successfully deactivated the sentinels on a planet (kill all robots up to wave five and beat the walker), about 7 or so times, and received three A-tier tools, one royal and two sentinel. I have gotten all three from the sentinel pillar location (given after deactivation of sentinels) for FREE. Every single one. Cheers 🍻

With the right combination of supercharged slots its possible to touch well over 100,000 damage potential. 4 adjacent supercharged slots and neutron cannon modules. My Voltaic staff has a damage potential of 150616.2

[@Mieskiste33]

And how do you get 4 supercharged slots in such proximity ? Luck ? Or is there some kind of way to predict/farm them ?

[@calebweatherly5268]

@Mieskiste33 I'm actually not too sure if there is a certain way to guarantee anything when it comes to that, it certainly appears to be 90% luck with a little knowledge of the game thrown in for good measure eg, searching 3 star systems that have at least 3-4 planets. I how ever can point you in the direction of how to get the same one and from there you can experiment with how to find others of similar sc placement. Another youtube channel, Hero2u. They have a video showcasing several different S class staves which feature close proximity supercharged slots. Worth a watch if your interested.

[@calebweatherly5268]

@amirus6187 yes pretty much one shot once the armour plates have been knocked off. My s class modules are max stat's and no neutron cannon isn't the only weapon installed. The configuration of the super charged slots will affect how the bonus is applied. If you can get all of three s class modules including the A class into a sc slot and have the "weapon" touching at least two of the S class modules it should boost the damage potential significantly. Even with three adjacent sc slots it's possible to have over 50k damage potential, not forgetting the extra bonus applied by sentinal weapons shard modules.

[@boney2982]

@@ImAmirus its possible some of the upgrades have been silently tweaked i know thats happened to multitools before

[@notveryartificial4486]

I have decided to try blaze javelin with my staff. 20k damage potential, which is kinda god damn crazy for something that isn't a boltcaster or pulse spitter. Also I slammed a voltaic amplifier into a supercharged slot, which gives you 50% damage boost against stunned enemies, instead of only 21%. Combined with 5-second stun Blaze Javelin has with one tech installed, I do 3k damage per shot overall, and 15k crits if I nail a trickshot to the eye lol. Blaze Javelin is often overlooked, but by exploiting some... inconventional solutions... you can make it a FORMIDABLE weapon, one-shotting armored sentinels from like miles away. I love doing that

[@Kamdrimar]

If you want to get enough nanites to upgrade your multitools/ships fast, have a good source of units (such as the scanner upgrades mentioned in the video) get an economy scanner for your ship, and go to Outlaw systems. There's a vendor in them who sells Suspicious Packets, and you want to buy out the Tech and Weapon ones and use them to get various suspicious modules that sell for a lot of nanites. Each station usually nets at least 3k nanites, from my experience.

[@Mrbigmike311]

Just go setting, difficulty, change upgrade to free or reduced lol, no need for all that shenanigans, once is done revert the setting back to whatever it was. Hello game specifically added this for those reason, to remove the grind so you can enjoy the game better

[@SaxaphoneMan42]

Atlantid actually has highest mining bonus, with a damage bonus similar to a rifle. Currently sentinel and voltaic staffs have the highest damage, atlantid has the highest mining, experimental and royal have the highest scanner bonuses, with experimental and royal arguably being the best overall since they don't suffer terribly in any of these departments.

[@Ryangubbs]

Thanks Bunkz for the information. I find this game a little overwhelming. As such I appreciate the help.

[@brazenh2836]

If you still struggling try a outlaw system since they double the spawn chance of S class ships (though not sure how many have dissonant planets). Also every sentinel shop on a planet has the same design (as far as I know), so just check each 1 to find an S class version...

[@RabidJohn]

All the S-class scanner upgrades I've found had flora and fauna multipliers only, but I've got a suspicious X-class upgrade that also boosts mineral rewards. Worth having as minerals are usually commonest. Hunting for S class MT cabinets is normally a real grind, but I've had a lot more success with voltaic staffs. I've been looking in 3-star and pirate systems (which have the highest chance of S class everything else) and I found a camp that gave me an S for the 1st staff (the crafted one) within an hour. Yesterday I found an S camp for the Runic head, and today an S for the Reclaimed Head head, so either I've been inordinately lucky or they're quite a bit easier to find. It's not luck. I still haven't found an S-class Atlantid... Btw, Autophage (self-eating?) are everywhere, not just in dissonant systems like I first assumed.

[@SevenAcid]

i have all three on s class mods plus the radius

[@RabidJohn]

@@SevenAcid Yeah, just a day or two after posting this I found an S class with all 3 on. I check to see what every station has, and once I found it I did the save and reload thing to get another - which only had flora and fauna... Bloody RNG!

X class scanned upgrades go up to 11K bonus on all 3 types PLUS 50% scanning bonus. I have a few with 10.5K bonus plus 50% scanning bonus. Once you find such a good X class, you can duplicate it using the small refiner trick (same for any such upgrade for that matter).

Anything about sentinel multitools with an unnaturally high mining speed and heat dispersion? I got a sentinel multi tool that's mining speed is 4 times faster than even multi tools designed to give a mining bonus. Its base mining damage starts at 250, while others are 44 at best. Its damage stat on the multi tool screen reads 4096. It heat build up is really slow. I need to hold it down for 2 minutes to get it to red. Has anyone else found a multi tool that acts like this???

For those who want to upgrade the class of your tool for cheap(even ships) all you do is go to settings, difficulty, go to option that say upgrade and change the option to free or reduced. This will massively reduce the price for upgrading anything that requires nanites or even gold ;). Then you can revert the setting back to normal and voila! You got that S class for dirt cheap or free! I’m old school and hate loot base game where you either have to farm the living shit of the game, or prays to the RNG gods for a S tier. Why not just remove that, and give us the option to stick with something we like. Almost every game so far needs to have loot based gear and it’s annoying.
