How to find Corrupted Sentinels in No Man’s Sky

Corrupted Sentinels are tougher than your average Sentinel in No Man’s Sky, and usually you might want to avoid them. The current Expedition, though, asks you to hunt down 32 of these enemies. How do you find them? Let’s talk about it.

Corrupted Sentinels in No Man’s Sky can be found on planets that are a part of Dissonant star systems. You may also find Corrupted Sentinels randomly attacking your Planetary Settlement, or you may run into them near Salvageable Scrap dig sites. However, the sure shot way is to find a Dissonant star system.

Players who are looking to find Corrupted Sentinels specifically to hunt them down for the Liquidators expedition should first finish setting up their Minotaur Exocraft, and should pilot the Minotaur to defeat the Corrupted Sentinels. This way, they will also make significant progress simultaneously towards the “Timberwolf” milestone in Phase 5, which requires players to eliminate 50 targets while piloting the Minotaur.

How to find Dissonant star systems

To find a Dissonant star system in No Man’s Sky, you should install an Economy Scanner in your starship. Not only does it inform you about the economic level of a star system, but it also reveals whether the star system is Dissonant or not. You might run into a Dissonant star system without the use of an Economy Scanner but having it will save you a lot of time.

Once you have installed the Economy Scanner, open the Galaxy Map and look for star systems that say ‘Dissonant’ instead of the typical ‘Water’ category you may have noticed on other star systems. If you have an Economy Scanner installed but still cannot find a Dissonant star system, then you may benefit from installing a Conflict Scanner as well on your starship. Conflict Scanner allows you to identify pirate-controlled star systems, and also figure out the type of star system they are.

Finding Corrupted Sentinels

Once you find a Dissonant system, warp to it and find a planet that says “Dissonance detected”, and that planet will be abundant with Corrupted Sentinels. The dissonant planet will have Dissonance Resonators, Atlantideum crystals, and Radiant shards, and destroying any of them will spawn Corrupted Sentinels in No Man’s Sky.
