Whenever I post a new staff or Atlantid find on NMSCE there are inevitably a few people who reply that they can’t find the console or don’t know what to do.

Staffs and Atlantid multi-tools are new types of multi-tool added to the game with the Echoes update. The wiki refers to the new staff as a Voltaic Staff. To acquire these new tools you need to first complete the new quest line which will unlock new multi-tool upgrades that let you scan to reveal these new hidden Autophage NPCs and their camps. The reason you can’t see them is that they are literally invisible to you if you haven’t done the questline.

The new staff is acquired via either a terminal in one of these new camps, or the terminal in a Harmonic Camp. You first need to buy the components – head, core and pole – but the class of the staff is determined by the head section, of which there are currently 7 variations: Havoc, Runic, Radiant, Concentric [?], Salvaged Head, Salvaged Claw and Salvaged Aerator. Once you know which head is required for the S-Class version, you can pick and choose your own design using the other two parts, and the colours and installed modules may change as well.

The Atlantid multi-tool is acquired from Alien monolith POIs on planets in Korvax systems only – btw these are the same monoliths where you go to activate the “brains” of a newly acquired Interceptor ship. Once you have completed the Autophage questline, a new terminals will appear at these monolith sites that lets you choose a new multi-tool.

EDIT: Also, I should add that if you see a multi-tool or ship that you want to acquire in a post here on Reddit, you need to turn off multiplayer in your game’s Network Settings before you use a portal to get to the target system. I have seen many players enter a system I’m currently scouting after reading one of my posts. If you do this, the item in question may not be there as I have already taken it! (Not sure how staffs are affected as they are created from scratch by the player, but best to be on the safe side)
