And my budget is currently just a couple hundred grand, but I keep finding 24-slot rifles costing upward of three million, so I’m still using my dinky starting tool. That’s just the way it goes…
I just revisited the sites of 2 S class experimentals I discovered and theyre now A & B class
The one that’s now B class had a couple percent lower damage than the one that’s now A class… wondering if adding modules might affect class or if they’re permanently nerfed at that location?
Or of course maybe they’ve upped the damage rate and reclassified them accordingly…
As you’ve dscovered the multi-tools appear on the space stations. They also appear in the minor dwellings on the surface of a planet.
If you have an exocar use their scanner to look specifically for dwellings. Otherwise use the hit and miss approach of the signal booster with or without navigation data.
However now there is also the NPC Cartographer, that can seemingly also send you to minor dwellings. I have been sent twice by the Cartographer to a minor dwelling with a shop and multi-tool.
If you look at more than just one minor dwelling then you increase or decrease odds of finding a better or worse multi-tool. You can keep track of the location of the dwellings by screenshots of the coordinates or use a signal beacon to return.
I read somewhere that there are different multi-tools on each planet in a system. The last planet you leave from will likely show a variation of that tool from that planet the next time you reload and visit the space station weapon vendor. That may be a way of ‘forcing’ the tool you like the look of. But not as much fun
Thats interesting . I thought it was going to become widely available as a new weapon type best suited for derelict freighters infestations eg as per the movies like Alien.
