Talos I Exterior

Prey guide · Spacewalking between station sections

The Talos I Exterior is the zero-gravity vacuum surrounding the space station, allowing you to fly between different airlocks to bypass blocked interior paths. While spacewalking, you can locate floating corpses, access damaged hulls, repair station systems, and unlock exterior shortcuts. Navigation relies on your suit thrusters and propulsion system, but you must constantly manage your oxygen if your suit integrity fails.

Tips

Throw small pieces of floating space debris toward Cystoid nests to trigger their kamikaze attacks safely from a distance without wasting ammunition.
Use your suit's propulsion boost sparingly, as drifting carries momentum in zero gravity and rapidly depletes thruster cooldowns.
Keep an eye on station landmark markers and airlock icons on your HUD, as navigating the sprawling 3D exterior can quickly become disorienting.
