Following the release ofNo Man’s Sky: Orbital, players are now able to gain some incredible benefits by raising their standing with the game’s guilds. These benefits often take the form of easy access to certain items and resources, such as the Mercenaries guild providing you with free ammo after you’ve proven yourself to them. By taking advantage of this, players can make their journey across the universe much easier.
This guide will explain each of the three guilds, how to raise your standing with a guild, and what rewards each guild offers. Players will benefit from raising their standing with all three eventually, as they continue to exploreNo Man’s Sky.
Raising Standing with a Guild
Initially, the easiest way to gain standing with a Guild is by giving them gifts. This can be done by heading to a Space Station controlled by that Guild and speaking to the Guild Representative. Each Guild requires different gifts. Once you’ve reached the rank of “Apprentice” with a Guild, you’ll be able to accept missions for them from the Space Station’s Mission Agent. Completing Missions for a Guild will also raise your standing with them.
Mercenaries Guild
Raising your standing with the Mercenaries Guild will provide access to anassortment of useful items relating to combat and the Sentinels.Beginning with free ammo, the Mercenaries Guild will also offer weapon upgrades, Crystalized Hearts, and Pugnium for a small fee. They also offer Sentinel Boundary Maps, which can be used to locate Sentinel Pillars.
The Mercenaries Guild primarily wants gifts that relate to combat, such as Pirate Transponders and Crystalized Hearts.
