Sell or delete multi-tool?

[Elegant Caveman]

Is there any way to do this?

It seems that the limit you can have in your collection is three, and when you get a free one from an NPC as a reward, you can't claim it if you have the max. All you can do is trade in the one you presently have equipped, which is likely to be your best one.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

Thanks.

And whatever you do, do NOT try to delete your multi-tool with the save editor. Bad things happen.

Unless you're at the very beginning of the game, a free mutlitool from an NPC isn't going to be worth claiming or trading for anyway. They're almost always going to be a C class and will always need repair.

Noted, thanks.

I'm pretty close to the beginning. It wasn't a huge upgrade, but it was better than what I had, not counting repairs and re-building my upgrades.

I figured maybe I could have traded it in for something else that was a slight upgrade or something.

Overall, it's not the end of the world, but it's still frustrating and speaks to poor design.

You can switch your currently equipped Multi-Tool for another you own by pressing X and then going into Utilities. I've been playing for 100 hours or so and I haven't seen one S-rank but at least 10 A-rank rifles so getting more than one hasn't been worth it yet

You can also set them to quick slot keys using numbers.
If you're having a hard time finding good MT's, go check out No Man's Sky Coordinate Exchange on Reddit. I found my S class Alien and S class Experimental MTs using that.

Not when you're talking to an NPC or in the multi-tool comparison screen.

As I said, my issue is with receiving a free multi-tool from an NPC as a reward; by the time you find out about it, it's too late.

I tried backing away from the conversation without making a choice (choosing "leave" from the conversation options instead of "exchange" or "decline" in the multi-tool comparison screen), but that just auto-declines, basically; talking to the NPC again after switching my active multi-tool, he wasn't offering the reward anymore.

Unfortunately, that also doesn't work while in a conversation with an NPC.

A useful link, and not just for this. Thanks!
