Expedition Reward Patch/Decal
Expedition 6: The Blighted Redux describes the re-release of the sixth expedition in No Man's Sky. This is a slightly easier version of the original expedition, with a shorter running time but the same rewards.
Summary[ | ]
This page documents the redux of the sixth expedition of No Man's Sky, called The Blighted. It ran from 8th Dec – 22 Dec 2022.
Gameplay[ | ]
The Blighted aligns with the piratical theme of the Outlaws release. Travellers follow the trail of a pirate faction known as The Blight and their mysterious treasure, gathering clues and decrypting milestones.
The Blight are alert to the presence of Travellers seeking their riches, and have taken hostile measures to trap would-be treasure seekers on the radiated hills of Wighanbrin Teba in the Apmaneessu galaxy. Players must restore their compromised ship to embark on a journey across exotic stars and ocean beds, into the heart of Sentinel and outlaw territory – and ultimately, for those who persevere, to The Blight’s legendary pirate treasure.
All players start on an Irradiated planet 150-700u from their broken starship, located at a Point of Interest. The starting starship is a random C-Class fighter with 15+4+3 slots with installed, but broken Hyperdrive.
In addition to the blueprints known at the beginning of normal mode, the player also knows the following blueprints:
- Crafted Products
- Constructed Technology
The starting Multi-tool in Expedition 6 is a random C-class rifle with 9 slots, scanner and a broken Analysis Visor pre-installed.
The Exosuit is initially equipped with two radiation protection upgrades and an X-Class upgrade to a Hazard Protection system; has a Portable Refiner and a Save Point in the inventory; and has 24+8+8 slots. The initial avatar appearance is randomly-generated.
Notably, the player does not initially have access to the Base Computer blueprint until the completion of the Intergalactic milestone, and will thus not be able to build any base before that.
