Buying Multitools

[MineVoid]

I've been going from system to system looking for a good multitool to replace the one I started with. I've found nothing but pistols. Why can't I find a rifle? Am I that unlucky?

Random is random, just keep looking.

If I remember right, every system has a pool of 5 random multi-tools.

Are you just going to the space stations?

Because there's tons of other places that multi-tools are sold, and every place is a chance to see the other weapons in that's systems pool.

Npc settlements usually have a mutli-tool box. The settlements are those single square landing pads, with 1 or 2 attached buildings. You can purchase maps at the space stations from the agents that will lead you to that type of building, and others.

Sentinel pillars will give you an option to download a multi-tool blueprint as well.

Yeah I know about that. But I wanted to find a multitool I can use in the meantime. I need more slots to work with and this pistol and the pistols i've been finding isn't cutting it. But If you find the first two glyphs, you can learn the rest of the glyphs. Once you know all of them, you can find a S class Multi tool with crystals sticking out of it. You have to turn off Multiplayer because it won't be there otherwise. And you can find multi tools anywhere, but I do believe the wealth status of the system you're in do affect the chances of finding an S class multitool. So build an economy scanner on your ship

Yes you can still find some on your own without the use of portals. And you're good on the spelling, bro. I know what you're trying to say :D.

My experience with the new exploration:
Was lucky enough from my starting point to find a decayed settlement with a toolbox in it. It seems that most of these decayed settlements have these swarm spawning eggs around them. So I easily could collect 1.5 Mio credits to buy an A class pistol with 16 slots. So you should visit all these settlements to get a better tool. And a lot of these settlements have vendor machines. Very easy to farm eggs and sell them for your starter credits.

My problem is, I can't find a decent multi tool that has more than 5 slots lol. A rifle has more and that's really what I'm looking for

Following the recommended path going from Expedition 1 rendevouz, to # 2 and checking the stations as I went, I found a 24 slot S-class rifle for sale for 3.7 million.

Really? Damn. I did find me a rifle finally though.

Multi-tool types tend to break down in to rarities: pistols are common, rifles are uncommon, experimental/royal is rare, alien is super rare. Royals can be found at sentinel pillars and count as experimental types.

I have seen a lot of pistol and rifle type multi-tools through my explorations, some experimental types, but only one or two alien multi-tools (pistol size and low class), I have been to a crazy amount of planets and systems in my current save.

You can work around this in normal mode with the coordinate exchange:

Could always google gate address to some good ones.

I just made it to the system in Expedition 5, rendezvous !, and there's a B-class, 23 slot rifle in the space station. It costs a lot more than I have, so I'll dawdle here until I get the money, although odds are I can find an A-class for a lot more money somewhere in the system.

Install economy scanner on your starship(it shows good economy systems on the galaxy map) and visit 3-star economy systems. I usually visit 3-star systems - they have higher chances for a better stuff. And just today I found two S-class rifles - one on the space station slot, one on a small planetary settlement(different star systems).

If you find S-Class MT on a space station and it is not a rifle, you can fly to a planet in this system, land and make a manual or auto save with beacon and reload this save and go back to the station. This trick changes the type of multitool. If you make a save&reload on another planet in this system, there will be another model on the station(one for an each new planet visit), but it always be of the same Class
