Multi-Tool setups

[Morgan]

I'm wondering if anyone has done any min-max to get the best overall damage/mining/scaning.
Please post your 24 slot setups which show your stats also here thanks

There's a bit of a mild exploit to help with hunting for a new multitool which i'll explain below

keep talking to NPC's until you get one that offers a multitool as a reward. Vykeen are the easiest to notice (two cowardly Vykeen's events give you a multitool if you accept) but Gek/Korvax also have them.

If you dont like the tool offered, or if you *do* like it, but the slot layout isnt very good simply end the conversation then reload. That NPC will still offer you the same weapon, but if you talk to another NPC of the same race that is ELIGIBLE for dynamic events, they will offer you the same event but a different multitool.

Each System has about 5-7 different named tools, and each tool can have a couple classes. Each planet can iirc have up to 4 different named tools and generally only one planet in the system is eligible for Alien/experimental (if any).

For example, you only talk to station NPC's who offer you junk pistols/rifles. after a few systems one of the NPC's offers you a 22 slot B class experimental, but the two missing slots are right in the middle messing up the layout. You then head down to the planet(s) looking for shelters or any building with NPC's in talking to each of them until you get offered the same experimental, but it will have a slightly different layout (and may also be C class or A/S class). Once you find one, you can either accept it, or reload again and continue searching. If you do reload remember to place a beacon so you can find that NPC again (if you give up searching).

The above example is what i did with my multitool posted above, the station NPC offered me the same weapon, but with 21 slots instead of 22 and the 3 missing slots were in the middle row instead of the bottom.

of course you could always just mod one in, but i find it more fun to explore around.

I wouldnt consider this to be an exploit of any kind, really :) Judging by how hard it can be to get a 24 slot multitool at all, its the game that exploits us :P

[Asmosis]

yeah i say mild since some consider save/reload an exploit, or maybe abusing the NPC event system.

Still, even with that its a heck of a lot more effort to find multitools than it is ships. It also makes going to new systems and exploring the planets a real option if one of the station guys offers you an alien or experimental which is a positive thing :)

Just found an alien 14 slot b class..... to small.

I see people talk about space station NPC's selling multitools but I have never seen a single one, is this really rare or am I missing something ?

I didn't know about the crashed ships having multitools either (even though very rare) so it's possible I'm just missing something.

Tbh, I think I've only evervhad one multitool from a space station, doesnt matter how much i talk to the npc's they never offer a MT.

Hmm i look for an experimental or s class tool aswell i still got my 24 sloter from the first Version of NMS but i see only 1 time an MT close to mine but only A-Class all other ive seen and i check every signle one when i enter shelters or anomalies war C/B-Class and between 5-11 slots. I tried hunting in rich economy ystems also and same for me actualy.

You definitely need luck. I hadn't really seen any exotic ships in the last few weeks up until a few days ago, now I own 3 of them.

ok so here is a question. since I can't find a good S/A class large slot tool. I'm currently stuck with a 10 slot A class. all I find are large slot 20+ B/C class with very very low stats, like maybe +1 - +9 max.

is it better to get a high class low slot or a low class high slot ? do the upgrades make up for the poor stats on a low class?

You can get multitools from vy'keen traders. I have got a multi-tool from 3 different scenarios, 1. When they ask you to choose the Blase or the shield (choose the blade) 2. When you find the old high ranking vy'keen it asks to bow or draw multi-tool (choose draw multi-tool) 3. When they ask you to hand over multi-tool (always hand it over, they will offer you a new one).
You can also get multi-tools on the planets from all the singledock buildings and very rarely at crashed ship sites.

Also i dont know if it helps but a friend of mine got their alien multi-tool from a Scientific/Advanced system. So i found my own system with those same specifications and i have found 4 alien tools and 2 experimentals. It would be good to know if others try this and see if they get one.

If anyone is on PC and is in the Buddulungr Galaxy or can get to this galaxy i have the portal address to this system where i am getting all these cool weapons.
