Can you do the N7/Mass Effect expedition at low level?

[Chugster]

I haven't played for ages and my character is still pretty low, can I still do the expedition to get the Normandy?

[Jaggid Edje]

There is no such thing as character level in No Man's Sky.

Regardless, yes, all expeditions are designed to be doable by a brand new save started just for the expedition.

BTW, if you weren't already aware, the Normandy is a frigate, not a starship that you can personally fly.

Yeah, as JaggidEdje has mentioned, it's a frigate (assuming they're doing the redux of the expedition again, anyway). So it's a little disappointing. It's good, mind you, but you won't be flying it.

If you haven't played in a while, maybe run through the tutorial and shake off the rust before expeditions. They can be a little tough if you aren't super comfortable with the game. Though I don't recall that one being super hard.

Just keep in mind that many of the expedition steps can be done at any time - take a look at the whole list of things to do, and try to keep them in mind as you travel.

How do I get it, where do I go? I went to the expedition terminal but its still on Cursed.

It's not an assumption. They announced it earlier today.

create a new save file to do a new expedition

The question I have is it an account unlock or is it just for that save file? So if we lost our save file we'd have to wait for the event to come back?

Shows as Beachhead for me since the game updated earlier today. Make sure you have actually gotten the update and that you're connected to the internet when you start the game.

If you play on a platform other than Steam, it could also just be a delay on your platform. I can only attest to the fact that the Steam version is running Beachhead now.

It's an account unlock.

You don't need to start it that way, it's available to start from the terminal in the anomaly from an ongoing, existing playthrough as well.

It's an account unlock.

Just a note on this. Unlocks are account wide but still dependent on having a savefile with the unlock. If you for example uninstall or go to a new computer, games on that machine won't have the unlocks unless there's a save somewhere it can see to verify you have the unlock.

No, they are not dependent on having a save file with the unlock. You can delete all of your save slots and the unlocks remain.

Unlocks are stored in a separate account file in the save folder. Which does mean you shouldn't delete the whole folder, but the saves themselves are not needed.

All Expeditions have you starting from scratch unless you choose to bring stuff with you (which was implemented after that expedition).

And even when you do bring stuff with you, you can't actually access said stuff until you find a way to get to the Anomaly to reach the terminal that allows you to retrieve said stuff.

Every expedition is designed with starting from pure scratch in mind, bringing stuff with you can make it easier, but is in no way required or even expected.

And, IMO, it kinda cheapens some of the expeditions, such as the newest one, The Cursed. Bringing a few thousand h2 with you would make the whole thing insanely easy once you got to the Anomaly.

to be clear there are no levels in no mans sky. you can start the expedition on a new save or using an existing save at the nexus this is not an mmo

Sweet that is very nice to know. I haven't really tried to play No Man's Sky for a few years. I had a horrible time with some Geks that wouldn't stop harassing me trying to sell their ships to me. All I wanted was to mine some asteroids for fuel and every time I'd drop they'd all come blinking into space and the asteroids would disappear. Even after I reacted violently and fired on their ships they were still of the opinion that I wanted to buy the ships lmao
