Introduction

No Man’s Sky 6.2 introduces a revamped Industrial Waste Salvage loop with the Remnant Update. Players can now gather industrial waste from newly spawned sites, process it efficiently, and earn high-tier rewards. This guide covers everything from essential tools to rewards, hazards, and strategies to maximize your efficiency.

Essential Tools & Modules

  • Gravitino Coil – Required to lift and transport heavy scrap heaps.
  • Electromagnetic Containment Field – Attaches unstable cargo to the Colossus flatbed to prevent explosive containers from bouncing out.
  • Cyclops Scope – Upgrade your Exocraft visor to tag waste piles and Waste Processing Plants without exiting your vehicle.
  • Spider Truck Mechanical Legs – Unlock via Remnant Expedition for improved mobility on rough terrain; players search for “NMS Spider Truck”.
