No Man’s Sky Breach Update Patch Notes—Improved Ship Building, Space Wrecks, Salvaging and More

I’m so excited – No Man’s Sky just dropped a new Halloween update called Breach, and the best part is, it’s totally free for anyone who already owns the game! It’s awesome to see them keep adding content like this.

No Man’s Sky’s Voyagers update was a major success, bringing lots of new content and significantly boosting the game’s popularity on Steam. The new Breach update will expand on the features introduced in Voyagers, such as building your own ships, spacewalking, skydiving, and fostering a stronger sense of community.

What’s New in No Man’s Sky’s Breach Update

The Breach Expedition is a Halloween-themed update for No Man’s Sky. It challenges players to explore a forgotten universe filled with the wreckage of destroyed ships. You can salvage these wrecks for parts to build and upgrade your own spacecraft. You’ll find all sorts of components, including rare pieces that let you create entirely new ship designs.

With The Breach update, players can earn special rewards through expeditions, including new modules inspired by Atlas. These expeditions will uncover the story of the Fireship Arcadia, a significant wreck among others. Players will explore eerie, purple-tinged solar systems originally introduced in the Worlds Part II update. This expedition is live now and will be available for around three weeks.

All No Man’s Sky Breach Patch Notes

Space Wreckage

You can now find and salvage wrecked corvettes in deep space. Venture outside your ship into zero-gravity to explore these empty shells, and use your Multi-Tool’s laser to break down valuable parts. Then, use those salvaged materials to build the ship of your dreams at a Corvette Workshop.

New Corvette Modules

You can now find many new parts for corvettes by salvaging wreckage in deep space and searching planetary scrap heaps. These parts include landing gear, shields, weapons, and connectors. Notably, highly sought-after wedge-shaped modules are also available, allowing for a wider range of unique and complex corvette designs.

Quality of Life

Beyond the usual bug fixes and improvements in today’s update, the No Man’s Sky team has been focused on making Voyagers even better since it launched in August. We’ve significantly improved how things snap together, made collision detection more reliable, and added a new feature to the Corvette Workshop: you can now easily apply a color scheme to your entire corvette. It’s the perfect time to start building one!

Breach Expedition Rewards

Event Horizon, Eternal Serpents, and Siren of the Stars Posters

The posters, made to remember the Breach expedition, show a strange gravitational distortion in deep space, a repeating pattern resembling an endless serpent, and a siren-like creature with tentacles, seemingly about to reach out and envelop someone in a slimy grip.

Aeron Cowling & Diffuser

The design of these corvette parts is incredibly old and unique, seemingly formed by the very energy of the universe.

The Aeron Cowling and Aeron Diffuser hull plates give your corvette a striking, sharp-edged look.

Wings of Aeron

This Atlas-themed wing module stabilises the corvette during atmospheric flight.

Aeron Powershield

The Aeron Powershield connects to a corvette’s shields, greatly improving how well the ship can defend itself.

Aeron Winglet, Aeron Pillar & Aeron Pyramid

These decorative panels, inspired by the Atlas, can be attached to the outside of the corvette, emphasizing its connection to the crimson entity.

Aeron Starship Trail

This engine modification injects the Starship exhaust trail with an arterial streak of crimson.

Aeron Drive & Aeron Blade

You can build a powerful, robust Atlas corvette using the bulky Aeron Drive, or opt for a faster, more streamlined design with the sleek Aeron Blade wing.
