How to get echo locators in No Man’s Sky

No Man’s Sky (NMS) now has new corrupted planets that can have Harmonic Camps, but can only be found with Echo Locator. When corruption takes over a planet, it begins to corrupt the guardians on it as well. You can tell it’s a corrupted planet if it has purple crystal shards on its surface. Luckily, even the echo sounders themselves can be found on these corrupted planets. Let’s see how you can find them.

How to get an echo locator in No Man’s Sky

Echo Locators in No Man’s Sky can be found on Corrupted Planets by destroying Dissonance Resonators. These are large robots that develop the surface of corrupted planets. You can find them scattered anywhere on the Corrupted Planet. If you go around him enough in any direction, you will soon run into him. They can also be seen from your starship while flying over the surface in the NMS.

Once you find them, prepare to fight as they will most likely be surrounded by corrupted sentries. Attacking the Dissonance Resonator will increase the wanted level. You may also need to destroy a few Dissonance Resonators before you get an Echo Locator, as it’s not always guaranteed to drop.

Once you get the echo locator, you can interact with it in your inventory and make it “Resonate”. This will open the Harmonic Camp waypoint. Be aware that if the corrupted planet is a barren planet with no atmosphere or an exotic planet, the echo locator will not work. But don’t worry, you can just go to any other system with a corrupted planet and use it there.
