Neutron Cannon Expedition

I would like to have it, pretty please.

i was unlucky to get the impuls gun.

When you turn in the collectibles to Polo you get a bunch more rewards. You can have lots more rolls of the dice.

i only get geocannons and shields from polo, turned in like hundred packs of whatever he wants.

Maybe Polo does hide it from you for a reason?
If someone really, really would want a machine gun from me, I would hide it, too. I wouldn't trust that person the slightest - even if he would state that he just want to have it on his wall.
No, I think Polo is unto something this time. He suspects something.
For a Gek he is smart.

I've rolled about 500 times (mostly to get nanites for other stuff) and not seen it. I've had well over a dozen of each plasma/geo/stasis grenades.

Given it's relatively new i dont know if it would be in the drop tables for random events/operations centre either (as new things often aren't). I also dont know if it can come pre-installed.

It was rocket boots he was trying to offload on me. So many rocket boots.

You can also look out for a multitool that has it already. Or you can save scum by saving before you open the drop, and reload if it's something that you don't want.

Or save editor, of course.

It's relatively quick to farm pugneum, so i'd rather just make a second batch but thanks for reminding me save scumming is a thing as i've almost unlocked everything that takes nanites.

Once you've got a weapon, you won't get any more. It's the same for the ship and the multi-tool. You only get additional secondary weapons, like stun grenades.

Your only chance to get the weapon you want is right at the beginning, but it's sort of cheating. You make sure you jump out of your ship to create a save point before opening the memory. You can then reload your save if you get the wrong one and try again.

There’s only 1 milestones that gives you a “personal weapon” memory fragment. Once you’ve used it, you’re stuck with whatever it gave you OR you can always craft the Boltcaster.

The turn in memory fragments will give you upgrades for all your gear but never a second multi-tool weapon. (From my experience opening more than 1000).

For anyone reading this, you can “farm” that one weapon fragment to get whatever weapon you want. Simply make an autosave (space station or Anomaly work the easiest), open fragment, if not what you want, reload autosave.

The above works for ANY memory fragment.

I've gotten all the weapon blueprints so far except the Neutron cannon (didnt even know it existed).

Nexus is disabled, but you can still obtain them any other normal way.

Same here, I kept playing the expedition after finishing it and one of my goals was to see how much technology I could unlock through gameplay, rather than just purchasing it.
At this point, I"m fairly convinced that the neutron cannon was never added to the loot tables of anything when they added it....because it's the only multi tool weapon tech I haven't unlocked after over 100 hours of playing the save.

^^ I've reached the same conclusion. Anytime an operations centre or crashed ship says it's giving me a ship/exosuit/tool blueprint it just gives me a B/C class module instead, which is traditionally the reward when its run out of blueprints.

Aside from the Cannon, i have not unlocked any of the sub-weapon recipes. Also, the Neutron Cannons sub-weapons do not drop from the memory modules from polo or crafting, meaning they likely forgot about it entirely when making the loot tables and just copied the loot tables from other aspects of the game (which arent updated to include it). You can get the S class modules (which is how i learned of the weapon) but not the buildable ones.

The misc category still gives at least some freighter recipes though, i've gotten the craftable consumable recipes from crashed ships without needing to pay 10x salvage cost. Not sure if the hyperdrive ones are in there, hopefully they are. I dont use the freighter for jump drive, but its nice to be able to summon it in any system.

Once i've exhausted the freighter recipes, i'll probably just add the weapon via save editor as i dont really feel like waiting 4 weeks.

*edit*

ok can definitively confirm the recipe isnt in the game. After finding a wreck that gave recipes from its random event, i just kept reloading and buying the recipe it gave from the nexus/freighter base and trying again.

After going through all the available production recipes and remaining frigate upgrades it eventually started spitting out nanites when i said i found a blueprint. So that's that.
