Wednesday, February 11, 2026No Man's Sky Remnant Update 2026: Gravitino Coil Gravity Gun Guide, Best Salvage Builds & Waste Loop (Patch 6.2 Live Now!)
No Man's Sky's Remnant update (Patch 6.2) is live now on February 11, 2026—kicking off the game's 10th anniversary year with the long-awaited Gravitino Coil gravity gun, a full salvage and recycling gameplay loop, customizable Colossus trucks for hauling waste, and tons of optimizations including DLSS 4.5 support. Free for all owners, this physics playground lets you magnetize, fling, and salvage industrial debris across planets for rare resources and rewards.
How to Get the Gravitino Coil Gravity Gun & Start Using It
Head to the Space Anomaly or discover a new Waste Processing Plant on scrap-heavy planets to purchase the Gravitino Coil multi-tool module. Once equipped:
- Magnetize and launch objects like industrial waste piles, golden balls at ruins, Sphere Creator orbs, Sentinel drops, or even entire Sentinel drones (stuns them temporarily).
- Use as a weapon: Fling debris or drones at enemies for crowd control.
- Perfect for joyriding physics chaos or efficient salvaging.
The New Salvage & Waste Recycling Loop Explained
Land on planets with salvageable scrap (look for industrial waste in small piles or large heaps—toxic, radioactive, explosive). Gather with the gravity gun, load your Colossus, and haul to Waste Processing Plants (new interactive facilities).
- Interact: Park Colossus at the valuation scale, double-toot the horn to open the control panel, deposit for recycled resources and rewards.
- Tutorial: Automatic mission guides new scrap-hunters.
- Risks: Volatile loads can explode if overstacked—handle carefully!
- Multiplayer: Team up for convoys; solo or group works.
- Unlock titles for hauling milestones, granting exclusive Colossus customizations.
Best Colossus Builds for Salvage Hauling (2026 Guide)
Customize your Colossus at the Geobay (now stores 6 configs). Prioritize flatbed + furnace for mobile processing.
| Build | Key Modules | Best For | Tips |
|---|---|---|---|
| Salvage Hauler | Tippable Flatbed, Furnace, Exocraft Radar | Waste transport & on-road refining | Double-horn at plants; avoid overstacking explosives |
| Combat Scrapper | Excavation Blade, Cyclops Scope, Armored Cabin | Sentinel fights + resource harvest from collisions | Visor-scan while driving; blade auto-harvests obstacles |
| Stealth Recycler | Camouflage Finish (Expedition), Asymmetrical Cabin, Mechanical Legs | Low-profile hauling on hostile worlds | Expedition rewards; pair w/ gravity gun for quick grabs |
Pro Tip: Improved handling (better braking/turning) + dust/exhaust visuals make long hauls epic. New music track too!
Remnant PC Performance: DLSS 4.5 & Optimizations
Patch 6.2 brings DLSS 4.5 support, multi-threaded rendering boosts (Switch/PC), tiled lighting for light-heavy scenes, and optimizations for deep space, planets, settlements, and massive saves. Smoother clouds, fewer crashes/disconnects.
- Fixed: Mouse lag w/ V-Sync, Steam Deck touch, controller scans in exocraft.
- Targets: 1440p/4K 60+ FPS easy on mid-range; RTX for max physics fun.
