Pugneum Location in NMS

by

As a seasoned traveler of the No Man’s Sky universe, I’ve come to appreciate the intricacies and challenges that this game presents, especially when it comes to resource gathering. One such resource that has tested my mettle is the elusive Pugneum. This guide, my fellow space-farers, is a beacon of hope for those who yearn to amass this precious substance in abundance.

In the game ‘No Man’s Sky’, most of the resources are scattered across planets waiting for you to discover and extract. However, ‘Pugneum’ is one of the resources that require competition, so make sure your Multi-Tool is equipped and prepare yourself for an intense battle.

This tutorial will show you all there is to know about acquiring Pugneum within the game ‘No Man’s Sky’, as well as the most efficient methods for farming it.

How to Get Pugneum in No Man’s Sky

Kill Sentinels

In the game No Man’s Sky, Pugneum is the primary loot dropped by Sentinels. Upon destroying a Sentinel, it will release a container filled with loot, and Pugneum is always included in this drop. The quantity of Pugneum received depends on the tier of the enemy; stronger enemies yield more Pugneum. These robotic guards can be found on nearly every planet within the game, but there are strategies to farm Pugneum more effectively.

Here’s how you can easily farm Sentinels in No Man’s Sky:

  • Clear all five waves of Sentinels on a planet: The easiest way to farm Sentinels is to start killing them on any planet (bonus points if it’s a planet with aggressive Sentinels). When you start the fight, you’ll get a wanted level indicated by a dot under your multi-tool bar. The levels increase as you defeat Sentinels, and clearing all enemies at maximum level temporarily disables Sentinels on the planet. It also shows you the location of the nearest Sentinel Pillar.

As an avid explorer, I’ve discovered that on hostile Sentinel-populated planets, one can gather elusive Gravitino Balls. Gathering these balls rewards me with three coveted star ratings!

  • Complete Nexus missions: The Nexus on the Anomaly sometimes offers missions to destroy Sentinels and their structures. This is a great opportunity to get Pugneum, some extra rewards, and even Quicksilver.
  • Defend your settlement: If you own a settlement, Sentinels will occasionally attack it. Make sure to check in on your settlement and defend it when needed.

Refine Atlantideum

On the Dissonant planets, you can find the resource called Atlantideum. By using a Refiner, you can purify it into Pugneum, and given the vast quantities of Atlantideum on these planets, filling your inventory won’t take long. This situation also presents a chance for you to acquire a Sentinel Interceptor if you don’t already have one.

Buy it on Space Stations

In the game ‘No Man’s Sky’, similar to various resources, you can acquire Pugneum via Galactic Trade Terminals situated in space stations, bases, and outposts. The price is approximately 180 Units, though it might fluctuate based on the system you are currently in.

Random pilots on space stations and outposts can also sell Pugneum.
