Here's everything you can learn to play as a squadron in No Man's Sky.

Finding Tritium isn't too difficult, but harvesting a large amount can be a task that can go much faster with a few helpful tips. This guide will tell you everything you need to know about how to get Tritium quickly and what you will use it for later.

What is Tritium?

Tritium is a radioactive isotope of hydrogen with the chemical formula H3. In the real world, natural tritium is rare, and most tritium is created by nuclear reactors.

In No Man's Sky, Tritium is used in a variety of products from raw materials and supplies to fuel for your fleet. It's a rare sight on the planet, but unfortunately, Finding large quantities of Tritium is as easy as going into space.

Where to find Tritium

Tritium is usually found by shooting asteroids from the cockpit of your starship. Asteroids are commonly found in a wide belt within the solar system, so there's no shortage of asteroids you can shoot at.

Once you find an asteroid belt, just go inside and start blasting rocks. Each rock that explodes will give at least a small amount of Tritium along with other elements such as gold, silver and platinum.

Keep an eye out for asteroids identified as 'Tritium Rich' on your sensor. These will yield more Tritium and have a higher chance of yielding a Tritium Hypercluster.

A few minutes of detonating asteroids can yield hundreds of Tritium. Just keep blasting until you get your volume. The Photon Blaster core is ideal for destroying asteroids due to its decent range and rate of fire.

Tritium Hyperclusters can provide more Tritium. Just remove the Hypercluster from your inventory to get the extra Tritium penetration.

Free tritium sometimes available for purchase at Galactic Trade Terminals. It is sometimes found in small amounts from rocky material mined in planetary caves. It will also be available in small quantities in the inventory of new starships or items after purchase.

A bandit station will always have a small amount of money (several hundred) of Tritium available for purchase.
