No Man’s Sky continues to expand with major updates, and the Remnant Update introduced a unique new tool for explorers: the Gravitino Coil, often referred to as the Gravity Gun. This Multi-Tool upgrade allows players to manipulate industrial waste and environmental objects using gravitational force — opening up new mission types and gameplay mechanics.

If you’re wondering how to unlock, craft, and use the Gravitino Coil efficiently, this guide breaks down every step — from obtaining the blueprint to gathering materials and mastering its functionality.

What Is the Gravitino Coil?

The Gravitino Coil is a Multi-Tool upgrade module that enables gravity-based manipulation of objects. It’s primarily used for handling Industrial Waste introduced in the Remnant Update, but it can also interact with various physical objects in the environment.

Unlike standard mining upgrades, this module focuses on utility rather than damage or resource extraction.

Where to Get the Gravitino Coil Blueprint

The blueprint for the Gravitino Coil is purchased at The Anomaly, the central multiplayer hub.

The Anomaly

Step-by-Step to Find It:

1. Summon The Anomaly while in space.

2. Head toward the Multi-Tool research section.

3. Locate Iteration: Eos, the NPC responsible for Multi-Tool upgrades.

Iteration: Eos

The Gravitino Coil blueprint is unlocked for 520 Nanites and is positioned alongside advanced mining upgrades.

If you’re short on Nanites or resources, services like No Man’s Sky Boosting can significantly accelerate blueprint progression and unlocks.

Materials Required to Craft the Gravitino Coil

Once unlocked, the module requires:

• 3x Magnetic Resonator

• 1x Gravitino Ball

• 50x Chromatic Metal

After collecting all components, install the module directly into your Multi-Tool inventory.

If you need additional inventory slots, visit a Space Station and use the Multi-Tool upgrade terminal.

How to Craft Magnetic Resonators

To craft 3 Magnetic Resonators, you first need their blueprint.

This blueprint is purchased at the Synthesis Laboratory, located near Iteration: Eos in The Anomaly.

Cost: 250 Nanites

Each Magnetic Resonator Requires:

• 40x Magnetized Ferrite

• 40x Ionized Cobalt

Since you need three, prepare:

• 120x Magnetized Ferrite

• 120x Ionized Cobalt

How to Get the Materials

Magnetized Ferrite

• Refined from Pure Ferrite

• Refined from Ferrite Dust combinations

Ionized Cobalt

• Refined from Cobalt (with Oxygen for higher yield)

• Purchased from Galactic Trade Terminals

If you prefer a faster route instead of manual farming, you can Buy No Man’s Sky Items to streamline crafting and skip heavy resource grinding.

How to Get a Gravitino Ball

Gravitino Ball

The Gravitino Ball is the trickiest component to acquire.

Primary Method: Sentient Plants

• Land on a planet with Hostile Sentinels

• Use your Analysis Visor

• Look for a yellow diamond icon labeled Sentient Plant

Harvesting a Gravitino Ball will immediately trigger Sentinel aggression. Always park your ship nearby for rapid escape.

Alternative Methods:

• Found at Ancient Ruins

• Harvested from Gravitino Host plants

Because Sentinel hostility can escalate quickly, ensure your starship is properly equipped. If you’re underpowered for hostile planets, upgrading through Buy No Man’s Sky Ships can greatly improve survivability.

How to Get Chromatic Metal

Chromatic Metal

Chromatic Metal is refined from stellar metals.

Most Common Source:

• Copper (2:1 ratio)

To obtain 50 Chromatic Metal, refine at least 100 Copper.

Copper deposits are widespread across planetary surfaces and easily detected via scanner.

Installing the Gravitino Coil

Once all materials are collected:

1. Open Multi-Tool inventory.

2. Install the Gravitino Coil in an available slot.

3. Ensure adjacency bonuses if placing near compatible modules.

If you lack space, upgrade your Multi-Tool at a Space Station terminal.

How to Use the Gravity Gun (Gravitino Coil)

After installation:

• Cycle through Multi-Tool modes (default key: G on PC).

• Equip the Gravitino Coil.

Controls:

• Right Mouse Button (RMB) – Apply gravity field to lift objects.

• Left Mouse Button (LMB) – Launch or throw the object.

• RMB again to drop safely.

Where to Use the Gravitino Coil

The primary purpose is handling Industrial Waste found across planets and Waste Processing Plants.

After crafting the module, the nearest Waste Processing Plant may appear as a mission objective.

Efficient Usage Tips:

• Scan for Industrial Waste clusters.

• Use gravity to lift debris.

• Transport and dispose of waste at proper processing stations.

• Avoid standing exposed during Sentinel patrols.

The Coil can also manipulate other environmental objects — potentially opening creative uses beyond intended missions.

Is the Gravitino Coil Worth Unlocking?

Yes — especially for players engaging with Remnant Update content.

Benefits include:

• Access to new mission chains

• Utility-based gameplay mechanics

• Efficient Industrial Waste cleanup

• Additional Nanite and reward opportunities

While not a combat upgrade, it expands gameplay depth and offers unique interaction mechanics not available through standard mining tools.

Final Thoughts

The Gravitino Coil (Gravity Gun) is a utility-focused upgrade that adds a new dimension to No Man’s Sky exploration. While acquiring the blueprint requires Nanites and the materials demand some farming — particularly the Gravitino Ball — the process is straightforward with proper preparation.

Summon The Anomaly. Unlock the blueprint. Craft the components. Install and deploy.

With the right setup, you’ll be manipulating gravity and cleaning interstellar debris like a professional salvager in no time.
