The Gravitino Coil is a Multi-Tool module added in the Remnant update (6.2). It’s a gravity gun: point it at industrial waste, pull it toward you, and either carry it carefully or fling it across the planet. Here’s how to get it, what it costs to craft, and how to use it.
How to Get the Gravitino Coil Blueprint
Go to the Space Anomaly and find Iteration: Eos, the Multi-Tool upgrade vendor. Head left from the Nexus, up the ramp, and Eos is at the end of the corridor near the floating Anomaly model. The blueprint costs 520 Nanites.
If you’re already on a scrap world, Waste Processing Plants also sell the blueprint. The Anomaly is faster since you can summon it from anywhere in the galaxy.
How to Craft the Gravitino Coil
| Component | Quantity | Where to Get It |
|---|---|---|
| Magnetic Resonator | 3x | Craft or buy from traders |
| Gravitino Ball | 1x | Planets with Extreme Sentinel activity |
| Chromatic Metal | 50x | Refine any stellar metal |
Gravitino Balls are the only awkward ingredient. They spawn on planets where Sentinels attack on sight. Grab one and get out. You don’t need to build anything there.
Once crafted, install the Coil in a free Multi-Tool technology slot. It draws power from your Multi-Tool’s existing supply, so no separate fuel is needed.
How to Use the Gravitino Coil
Cycle to it with G on PC (or your weapon cycle button on console). Then:
- Hold RMB / Alt Attack to magnetize waste and pull it toward you
- Press LMB / Attack to launch the magnetized object as a projectile
- Press RMB again to gently release whatever you’re holding
The coil can hold multiple pieces of waste at once. Loading your Colossus gets faster once you get the hang of sweeping up several items in one pull rather than grabbing them one at a time.
Combat Uses
The Coil stuns Sentinels for a short period after launching them. It also works on most large objects, turning them into projectiles. Not the most efficient combat tool, but useful when you’re already holding it and a Sentinel rolls up.
Waste Hauling: The Full Loop
Scrap worlds are planets covered in industrial waste from abandoned operations. The loop is straightforward:
- Find a scrap world (planets with the industrial waste scanner tag)
- Load your Colossus using the Gravitino Coil
- Drive to the nearest Waste Processing Plant
- Deposit the waste for resources and rewards
Waste Processing Plants appear as objectives on your HUD once you’ve crafted the Coil. They’re the drop-off points and also sell the blueprint if you haven’t bought it yet.
Setting Up Your Colossus
The Colossus is the right vehicle for hauling. Equip it with the tipping flatbed to carry more per trip. A mountable furnace lets you process some materials while driving, which cuts down on trips back to base.
Loading tips from players who’ve done this a lot:
- Pack heavier waste against the front bulkhead first
- Stack lighter debris on top
- Slow down on rough terrain. There’s no hard weight cap, but an overloaded flatbed will shed cargo on bumps
- Hit obstacles head-on rather than at an angle
The Remnant Expedition (Twenty-One) builds on this loop in convoy format with other players. Rewards include exclusive Colossus modules and the Heirloom armor set.
Is Waste Hauling Worth It for Nanites?
Not if nanites are your main goal. Each piece of waste gives around 15 to 50 nanites at the Processing Plant, which is low compared to Runaway Mould or Tainted Metal farming. The real draws are:
- Resources unique to scrap worlds
- Expedition rewards (cosmetics, Colossus parts)
- The Gravitino Coil as a combat and physics tool
If you want efficient nanites, use the Coil to stun Corrupted Sentinels on Dissonant planets and farm their Tainted Metal drops instead. That’s 2 nanites per metal piece and considerably faster than hauling junk.
