The '''Exosuit''' is worn by the player during the game.

==Summary==
The '''Exosuit''' is the outfit that a player's avatar wears in No Man’s Sky. It provides storage for items that an avatar carries; offers protection from planetary hazards, hazardous [[flora]], hostile [[fauna]] and aggressive [[sentinel]]s; and comes equipped with a jetpack. It has expandable [[inventory]] capabilities and its [[technology]] can be upgraded. Whatever creature exists within an Exosuit is never seen, so the Exosuit essentially doubles as a player’s avatar. Avatars can be customised at [[Appearance Modifier]]s on [[Space station]]s. 

==Components==
The initial Exosuit has 24 Cargo inventory slots and 10 Technology inventory slots; three of the Technology inventory slots always contain the following three basic technologies:

*[[Life Support]] – keeps the player alive and provides power for movement; recharged with [[Oxygen]]
*[[Hazard Protection]] – protects from extreme temperatures, radiation, and toxicity; recharged with [[Sodium]]
*[[Jetpack]] – allows an avatar to temporarily fly; activated by pressing X (Playstation), Spacebar (PC) or A (Xbox); recharged from Life Support

==Suit Systems==
In addition to technology-based systems, the Exosuit is equipped with systems which, though they are not represented as a basic technology, provide fundamental functions for the Exosuit's wearer.

===Movement Systems===
The Movement Systems enhance the mobility of the Exosuit's wearer. Two systems are classed as Movement Systems: the Jetpack (already mentioned in Components) and the Speed Augmentation. Both require power from Life Support to function.

The Speed Augmentation, also referred to as the Adrenal Pump, grants the wearer the ability to sprint for a limited time. Sprinting drains Life Support faster than walking, but the drain is not as severe as that incurred by use of the Jetpack.

===Defence Systems===
The Defence Systems, also called the Defensive Systems, protect the Exosuit's wearer from nearby hazards and threats.

Attacks on the wearer will first deplete the Exosuit's ''deflector shield'', which automatically regenerates after a hit if the wearer is able to avoid further damage for long enough; alternately, the wearer can instantly restore some shield strength by activating a [[Hazard Protection Unit (base building)|hazard protection unit]] or destroying Combat Supplies canisters dropped by Sentinels. The remaining durability of the shield displays in the upper-left corner of the heads-up display as a white bar whenever it is not at full strength.

If the Exosuit's shield is fully depleted by incoming damage, further damage will be dealt directly to the ''Exosuit's core'' --- destruction of the core results in the death of the wearer, incurring [[Game mode]]-specific penalties. The remaining health of the Exosuit's core displays below the shield durability bar as a row of health squares --- the total number of squares indicates maximum core health while the number of white squares indicates current core health.

The Exosuit initially begins with 3 core health squares and a shield with either medium strength (Normal mode) or low strength (Survival and Permadeath modes). Missing core health, whether caused by damage or by installation of core health upgrades, can only be restored by using health-restoring objects (including, but not limited to, [[Health Station]]s and the white boxes in [[Cargo Drop]]s).

===Aeration Membrane===
The Aeration Membrane provides supplementary oxygen for the Exosuit's wearer whenever they spend more than a few seconds submerged in a liquid (usually water). Its benefits are short-lived compared to those offered by Hazard protection; however, the Aeration Membrane's oxygen supply, displayed as a light blue bar when it is not at full length, can be replenished underwater by interacting with Candle Kelp (the plants which are harvested for [[Kelp Sac]]s).

==Inventory==
The Exosuit has two separate inventories, Cargo and Technology.

===Cargo Inventory===
'''Cargo inventory''' is where acquired items appear. These include items that are bought, harvested, looted, received in trade, or received as a reward<ref>Items received while piloting a Starship in space will appear in the Starship's inventory instead.</ref>. New players begin the game with 24 Cargo slots which can be increased to a total of 120.

Cargo inventory slots hold:
* 9,999 units of resources in Normal mode, or 500 in Survival and Permadeath modes
* 10 technology upgrades
* 20-40 units of products, depending on the product

===Technology Inventory===
'''Technology inventory''' is only for Exosuit technology upgrades. New players begin the game with 10 Technology slots. All other players may add additional slots to Technology inventory, for a total of 60.
Exosuit technology inventory has 3 supercharged slots: 1st row 5th column, 2nd row 9th column and 3rd row 3rd column. The effectiveness of upgrade modules and blueprints placed in supercharged slots will be boosted by up to 400% depending on their type.

===Inventory Upgrades===
Slots upgrades for the Exosuit can be acquired at [[Space Station]]s and the [[Space Anomaly]] (once per location per system), as rewards from [[Nexus]] missions, or at no cost after repairing planetary [[Drop Pod]]s.

When initiating the upgrade interface, Travellers are presented with the option to add a slot to either their cargo or technology inventory. The default selection is set to augment the cargo inventory. To upgrade the technology inventory instead, Travellers must manually select the technology slot option before confirming the upgrade. This selection feature might not be immediately obvious, which has led many Travellers, possibly including seasoned ones, to overlook the capability to upgrade technology slots, potentially for extensive periods of gameplay.

The cost for each additional slot begins at 5,000 {{units}} for cargo and 1,000 {{units}} for technology, progressively escalating until it reaches a ceiling of 200,000 {{units}} for cargo and 125,000 {{units}} for technology slots.

==Technology Upgrades==
Most Exosuit systems, including the three core technology components of Life Support, Hazard Protection, and Jetpack, can be upgraded through the use of [[Upgrade Module]]s and [[Blueprint]]s. Both upgrade modules and blueprints can be found at merchants and through the act of exploring various [[Point of Interest|points of interest]].

===Exosuit Technology Blueprints===
These upgrades can be made by the player by acquiring the blueprints through purchases or as rewards in response to in game achievements/quests.

===Exosuit Technology Upgrades===
These upgrades can only be purchased from Exosuit technology merchants at the [[Space station]].

* [[Waypoint]] - General and Cargo inventories merged. Initial exosuit inventory increased to 24 Cargo, 10 Tech. Maximum exosuit inventory has increased to 120 Cargo, 60 Technology.
NOTE: At launch and through Atlas Rises, there was a different technology upgrade system in place. Upgraded parts were labeled with “Sigma”, “Tau”, and “Theta” to denote their potency. Life Support systems were recharged with [[Thamium9]] or a consumable [[:Category:Power_sources|power source]].Hazard Protection systems were recharged with [[oxide elements]], such as [[Zinc]], or with a “Shielding” consumable, such as [[Shielding Shard]]s. Next has overhauled the upgrade system to what it currently is.
