No Man’s Sky – Expedition Game Mode Explained

This guide will showcase the basics and mechanics of the Expedition game mode in No Man’s Sky.

What is an Expedition game mode?

An Expedition is like a special game mode in No Man’s Sky, but it doesn’t always follow the usual game rules. It’s often inspired by the latest updates and features added to the game.

In Expedition mode, it’s not like the regular modes where you can explore freely at your own pace. It’s more like a mission-based mode where you have a list of tasks to complete within a set timeframe while the Expedition event is happening

When is an Expedition available?

Expeditions usually, maar niet altijd, become available shortly after a big update or a new feature is added to No Man’s Sky.

Goed, there are a couple of reasons, and I’ll break them down for you.

Eerst, some folks play Expedition for the rewards. You know, the goodies you get for completing it. It’s like a little treasure hunt, and who doesn’t like a reward at the end, rechts?

Another reason is for the challenge or to switch things up a bit. Soms, you’ve been doing the same thing for a while, and you want something different and exciting. That’s where Expedition comes in. It’s like a breath of fresh air in the gaming world.

Nu, let’s get into the nitty-gritty details on how you can make the most of your Expedition experience.

How to Play Expedition Mode

To kick off your Expedition, here’s what you need to do: Eerst, start a “New Game” bestand. Ja, you’re starting fresh, like a clean slate. Dan, once you’re in there, Zoek naar de “Expeditie” optie. It’s like choosing an exciting adventure mode within the game.

For those who’ve played Expedition before: The first thing they do when it’s safe is check their task.

Nu, for players new to Expedition: Er zijn 5 phases, and each has 8 tasks.

In dit spel, you can choose to do any task or objective in any order, as long as you can see it. Each task might give you a reward, and sometimes these rewards can help you with other tasks on the expedition. Dus, make sure to read the instructions carefully to understand what you need to do and how the rewards can be useful for other objectives.

If a task seems tricky and you’re not sure how to complete it, maak je geen zorgen! The game may provide hints sometimes. To find these hints, just click on the objective and check the mission log. Echter, keep in mind that not all tasks come with hints, so you might need to rely on your wits and exploration skills to figure them out.

When you complete all eight objectives in a single phase of the Expedition, you get a special reward. Herinneren, many players embark on the Expedition for these rewards. What’s cool is that the rewards you earn for completing a phase are not limited to just one save file. Let’s say you have three different save files, each in a different game mode; you can still enjoy those rewards across all of them.

To claim your rewards and make them available across your different save files, all you need to do is head over to the space anomaly and have a chat with the Quicksilver Synthesis Companion NPC. They’ll help you access and distribute those hard-earned rewards to enhance your journey in all your game modes.

When you complete each phase in the Expedition, that means you’ve finished the Expedition itself. The game automatically changes your save file to Normal game mode.

Community and Players Courtesy

Nu, let’s talk about community and player courtesy. It’s a bit like an unspoken rule among players that if they construct something, other players can make use of it. This becomes especially important during the Expedition since all players are traveling along the same route.

Dus, when I’m playing an Expedition and I build something, I usually don’t delete the save file until the Expedition is over. Op deze manier, my creations or bases can still be helpful to someone else even after I’ve completed my journey.
