Six years on from the initial release of No Man’s Sky, the game has so much more additional content to offer than when it first landed. This progress has been brought about by a series of game-changing updates and expansions that have fundamentally changed the gameplay loop in No Man’s Sky. The most recent one provided by Hello Games is the Sentinel Update, currently available on PS4, PS5, and PS VR.
Many new features arrive with the Sentinel Update, from an entirely new combat model to lore explaining the many cybernetic creatures found in No Man’s Sky’s universe. Indeed, one of the most intriguing new features is the ability to gain a new AI companion for your journey across the endless expanse of space.
How To Get A Drone Companion
There are two new types of companion in the Sentinel update. The first is a small, and rather adorable, floating AI drone. When you install the new update and return to your settlement, if you have one, you will receive a quest titled “A Trace of Metal.”
This quest sees your settlement face a deadly attack from a group of robotic enemies. Once these enemies have been defeated, be sure to scour the battlefield and loot their bodies. One Sentinel will be holding the Undamaged Drone Shell item, a key part in obtaining your companion. Following this, you will receive a call from Tethys who will fill you in on some of the lore regarding this new update and request that you come and look at some things he wants to show you.
Journey to the Space Anomaly to meet with Tethys and show him what you found. Once you have spoken with Tethys, speak with every NPC you can find on the Space Anomaly. You are looking for three different items. From Mercury, you will receive the Phylactery, Gemini will award you with the Nanite Filament. Now, speak to Hesperus, who can be found directly next to Gemini, who will direct you to speak with Polo about creating the drone. Finally, speak with Polo to receive an item named Beads.
Now, after many conversations with the local population, you can return to Tethys and receive your first AI companion. Note that the follower can not be activated on the Space Anomaly. So, return to your base and interact with the Sentinel Flare item. You will now have your AI Drone.
How To Get Hardframe
Hardframe is the game’s new AI mech. Much larger than your drone companion, it will fight alongside you against the newly added enemies of No Man’s Sky.
Just continue the drone questline, and the AI Drone will lead you to a number of pillars. Each pillar will provide you with a new item to help build the Hardframe. Each item allows you to add new armour, new weapons and ultimately complete the robotic companion. Importantly, to build these items once discovered you will need to have a stockpile of the Hydraulic Wiring resource. Once fully complete, you will have a new mech that can be controlled both by you and by AI.
