How to use Trade Rocket in No Man’s Sky Waypoint
No Man’s Sky players generally need to travel from one place to another if they want to sell their accumulated goods at the market to earn in-game currency. Luckily, Hello Games decided to make this element of the game much easier with the introduction of personal trade rockets in the latest 4.0 update.
The latest waypoint update in No Man’s Sky has brought a wealth of new and revamped features for newcomers and veterans alike. Released alongside the game’s launch on Nintendo Switch, the 4.0 update included changes such as an automatic save system, overhauled visual effects, custom game modes, and more.
One such addition was the Trade Rocket personal system, and this article will show you how to use it.
How players can obtain and use their trade rockets in No Man’s Sky
The Waypoint update adds a Trade Missile as an unlockable upgrade for players’ Exosuits. The Rocket can be summoned onto a planet’s surface by players from anywhere. By loading it and launching it towards the nearest local space station, players can automatically sell their items on the Galactic Trade Network.
How can you unlock and use this new feature? Interested players can follow the steps below to use the trade rockets in game:
- Once you are in your in-game world, summon the anomaly by going to the quick menu and entering it. Once the anomaly arrives, head inside.
- Head to Selene who is selling Exosuit Research Upgrades. You will find them on the ground floor at the back. Once you interact with them and open the tree of available upgrades, you will find the Trade Rocket option. It requires 90 nanites to purchase, assuming you already have the Haz-Mat Gauntlet. Once purchased, you can exit the anomaly.
- Once in your inventory, you can install the trade rocket in a technology slot. The latest waypoint update means that techs can only be installed in tech slots. To complete the installation you will need 90 Di-Hydrogen, 2 Wiring Harnesses and 120 Tritium.
- You can now summon the trade rocket. Stand on a planet’s surface, open the quick menu and summon the trade rocket using the same option you use to summon your ship.
- The trade rocket will be arriving shortly and is looking pretty gorgeous thanks to the recent visual overhaul. You can load the trade rocket with items from your inventory. You can see how much money you will get and you can then choose to start it.
- Watch as it flies into space and the money is added to your wallet.
No Man’s Sky itself received a number of major updates in 2022, introducing a ton of new content and changing the way players experienced the exploration title. Waypoint goes even further, especially with the Trade Rocket mechanism and the auto-save feature.
Hello Games CEO Sean Murray has assured fans that there will be more updates to come for No Man’s Sky and players will have to wait and see what they are. It’s always interesting to see how far this particular space exploration title has come since its disastrous launch, and it doesn’t look like Hello Games is stopping any time soon.
