Exosuit Upgrade Modules & Slots
Maximizing your Exosuit's capabilities through upgrade modules and slot expansion is fundamental to surviving and thriving in No Man's Sky. These upgrades enhance your hazard protection, life support, jetpack, and inventory capacity, allowing you to explore more extreme environments and carry more resources. Strategically choosing and installing these modules can dramatically improve your overall gameplay experience.
Exosuit upgrades are installed in technology slots, which are divided into General and Technology categories. Technology slots offer adjacency bonuses when modules of the same type are placed next to each other, sificantly boosting their effectiveness. Expanding your Exosuit's inventory slots, both general and cargo, is achieved by finding Drop Pods on planets or purchasing upgrades at Space Stations.
- Hazard Protection Upgrades: Modules for thermal, toxic, radiation, and elemental protection. Essential for surviving extreme environments.

When installing technology modules, always aim for adjacency bonuses. Placing three S-class hazard protection modules of the same type next to each other in technology slots can provide a massive boost to your resistance against that specific hazard.
