A new article and clarification about weapons

[altsaxen]

Hey everyone! This is my first thread so bear with me!

Han Cilliers posted a link to an article by Gamezone on Twitter:

www.mweb.co.za/games/ViewNewsArticle/tabid/2549/Article/20194/No-Mans-Sky-Uncovered-What-Youll-Actually-Be-Doing.aspx

In the article is a bit of info on the HUD and UI. Specially the UI bit is interesting:
"The User Interface



In the UI is where you upgrade and change things.

The UI is very neat and clear.

Split into four distinct pages.

1. Weapons - this page might change to multitool as it doesn't only include weapons. If you upgrade it, you can scan further.

2. Suit - upgrade to jump further, swim underwater longer and survive better in toxic environments.

3. Ship - you can unlock a cloaking device

4. Encyclopedia"

Thanks to this it seems like our discussion about what weapon or if you have a weapon and a multitool could be over. It seems they actually named the UI page for the multitool as weapons.

It does sounds weird that you wouldn't be able to kill them. Maybe it was that player at that point of time with that player's current suit and weapon?

Agree.
To my earlier point, could be that he is closer to the centre of the "Galaxy/Universe", therefore, more enhanced "multitool".

Sounds about right to me! In the lastest game play at E3 Sean was able to take out the flying sentinel with one blast. In some earlier trailer you can see the player firing a continous beam and the sentinel still isn't crashing (only a few seconds though).

Maybe they meant you can't destroy sentinels in the sense of not being able to wipe them all off a planet, because more keep coming no matter how many individual sentinels you blast apart. (Is sentinels being self-replicating confirmed or speculation?)

Ah yeah that's a really good spaculation as well. One that could really be true. And yes I belive it's been more or less cofirmed that they're self-replicating. They were seeded out in to the universe by some ancient alien. So for them to remain they must replicate.
