No Man’s Sky ‘Remnant’ update now available

Hello Games has released the “Remnant” (version 6.2) update for No Man’s Sky.

Here is an overview of the update, via its official website:

Remnant: Introducing Update 6.2

In update 6.2, Remnant, you can now improve your Multi-Tool and use gravity to your advantage! Collect and move piles of industrial waste using magnetism, then haul it all away in your upgraded Colossus vehicle. Customize your vehicle with new parts and technology, process the materials you find, and join other players on a large-scale expedition across the land—plus lots more new features!

Reconfigure Your Colossus – An array of different cabins, chassis attachments, running gear and paint finishes allow you to kit out your vehicle for any situation. Design, save, and name a variety of Colossus Exocraft configurations suitable for a range of planetary adventures!
Gravitino Coil – Manipulate gravity itself with the new Gravitino Coil attachment for the Multi-Tool. Magnetize, repel, toss, transport and arrange physical objects – to harvest valuable resources through heavy-duty waste collection, or simply for the joy of it!
Cyclops Scope – A new Exocraft technology, the Cyclops Scope, attaches to the driver’s Analysis Visor display. Discover alien fauna, flora, and minerals, or target sweep for mission locations from the comfort of the driver’s seat.
Grab and Launch Objects – Seize and fling a variety of items with the Gravitino Coil, creating your own physics playground. Toss the golden artifacts found at planetary ruins, construct a Sphere Creator in your base and toy with its output, or grab and consume the combat supplies dropped by Sentinel drones.
Industrial Waste – Planets with salvageable scrap are now also laden with industrial waste, distributed across the planet in small piles and large heaps. Gather this debris with the Gravitino Coil and return it to a Waste Processing Plant to cleanse planets, salvage materials, and earn rewards!
Colossus Flatbed Module – Aspiring scrap-hunters can install a tippable flatbed on the Colossus Exocraft, for easy transportation of large hauls. An electromagnetic containment field minimizes cargo loss while navigating uneven terrain—but drive carefully up steep slopes!
Community Expedition – Join the community in a time-limited expedition, staged in the sands of a single planet. Drive cross-country and strip the desert of dangerous industrial remnants.
Off-Road Colossus Wheels – Configure your armored vehicle with a variety of superelastic wheels, tracked treads, and off-road running-gear for driving across any planetary environment.
Waste Processing Plants – A new type of facility, the Waste Processing Plant, is now established on scrap worlds. These industrial centers offer opportunities for scrap-hunters to extract materials and earn rewards for stripping planets of industrial waste. Specialized processing units safely contain and dispose of radioactive, explosive and toxic materials.
Heirloom Customization Set – Participants in the Remnant expedition can earn a lavish set of exosuit armor, inspired by the traditional designs of Balaron textile merchants. Ornate detailing and plush, padded fabrics elevate the attractiveness and status of the wearer.
Capture Sentinel Drones – The Gravitino Coil can also be employed in ground combat. Capture flying Sentinel Drones and fling them aside, even using them as weapons against each other.
New Colossus Cabins – Switch up the aesthetic of your Colossus Exocraft with a choice of cabins, each accompanied by its own unique cockpit layout. Join the Remnant expedition to earn the exclusive asymmetrical cabin reward!
Volatile Waste – Industrial waste is more than scrap metal: it can also be found in the form of toxic barrels, radioactive crates, and explosive canisters! Successful scrap-hunters will take care to handle volatile waste responsibly.
Paint Finishes – Add the final touch to your Colossus configuration with a selection of paint finishes, applicable alongside your color of choice. Sign up for the Remnant expedition to earn the limited edition camouflage finish.
Excavation Blade Technology – Augment your Colossus Exocraft with a new obstacle demolition attachment. This specialized technology allows the Colossus to collect a small number of resources from minerals and vegetation upon collision, and reduces grime and scratches to the Exocraft’s paintwork.
Exocraft-Mounted Furnace – Nomadic scrap-hunters may opt to install the furnace chassis module on their Colossus Exocraft, for immediate disposal of industrial waste while on the road.
Trucking Titles – Earn a set of new player titles for accomplishments in scrap hauling and waste processing. Each of these mini achievements will unlock a unique Colossus customization module across all saves.
Twitch Rewards – Tune into the chaos and delight of Travellers experimenting with the Gravitino Coil for the first time on Twitch—and earn rewards! You don’t have to own No Man’s Sky to start earning. Visit the Twitch Drops page to learn more and sign up. Simply connect with your Twitch account, then watch any of the No Man’s Sky streamers with Drops Enabled from Thursday 12th to Monday, February 16. If you decide you want to join in and play, you can claim your in-game rewards later.
Name Your Custom Outfits – Store up to six custom outfits and Colossus configurations—and give them your own memorable names. Dress for any mood or occasion!
Walking Vehicles – Register for waste hauling in the Remnant expedition, and earn a set of arachnid-like Mechanical Legs for the Colossus Exocraft. Creep and crawl across terrain in hydraulic spidery style.
Toot Toot! – Entertain fellow Travellers with a playful new trucking horn gesture. All aboard!
Enhanced Clouds – Clouds are more beautiful than ever before, especially at dawn and dusk. Lighting, edge stability and performance of clouds and cloud reflections have all been improved.
Corvettes on Switch – For the very first time, assemble your own colossal corvette-class starship on the Nintendo Switch. Collect modules, design your dream ship, and furnish its interior to create a flying home amongst the stars.
