Returnal: How To Get The Spaceship Model

To make the run through Atropos fairly easy for the players, they can collect different artifacts like the Spaceship Model that will aid the players in different ways in Returnal. The Space ship Model is one of the most popular artifacts in Returnal that you will be able to get after exploring in Returnal. By obtaining the item, the players will be able to boost their dash ability in the game. Therefore, by using the Spaceship Model, the players will be able to dash through enemy projectiles and avoid any incoming damage in critical situations. 

What Is The Space Ship Model 

Spaceship Model is one of the many artifacts that the players will be able to obtain in Returnal. After obtaining the artifact, the players will be able to increase their dash speed. Furthermore, they will also be able to turn their dash ability into an attack that will deal a massive amount of damage to their enemies.

After obtaining the Spaceship Model, the players will be able to launch straight into enemies while dealing damage when they hit. The best part about it is that the players will be able to use this powerful ability in several combos to increase the damage it deals.

Using The Artifact

A good combination is to follow up a dash with a melee attack. Doing so will allow you to deal with a highly damaging attack through this combo that will kill any weaker enemies in just one shot. The only drawback of the Space ship Model is that it is not permanent equipment.

Therefore in case you die, you will have to start again and look for it until you find it for it to be used. Since it is a random drop finding, it can be quite tough and may take you a lot of time.

However, it is definitely one of the most powerful artifacts in the game. Keep in mind that it will not allow the players to get a second life, just like other artifacts like the Child’s Watch and Astronaut Figurine do.

Also, if you want to deal damage to your enemies, then you will have to dash directly into them. For that, you will have to hold down the dash button until the attack is finished during a combo or a solo move. 

How To Get The Spaceship Model 

There are several ways of getting the Spaceship Model by either spending ether or finding it as a random drop. You will be able to obtain the artifact from the fabricator or from different chests scattered throughout the world of Returnal. You will also be able to obtain it as a random reward. Below are all the ways of getting the Spaceship Model and Returnal. 

Through Chests 

The Spaceship Model can be found in random drops in different chests scattered throughout the world of Atropos. When you first find it, it will appear as an unknown item. You need to scan it to unlock it as a random drop for future explorations. It can drop in any biome.

Through Enemy Drops 

There are a lot of enemies for the players to fight in Returnal. These include the Fractured Wastes Enemies, Echoing Ruins Enemies, Crimson Waste Enemies, and many more. All these enemies will drop certain items when killed. If you are lucky enough, you might be able to get the Spaceship Model as a drop from these enemies as well. However, it might take how you are for you to get it as a drop from enemies. 

From Reclaimer 

The Reclaimer is a device that recycles materials but damages your health in return. It has a chance to reward you with rare artifacts like the Spaceship Model. Look for reclaimers in each biome, but be cautious as they can reduce your health significantly.

By Using Fabricators 

Fabricators can be found in various locations throughout the game. Some fabricators may have a chance to drop the Spaceship Model when you interact with them. Look for large fabricators, as they have a higher chance of dropping rare items.

Using Ether 

You can spend Ether at Chthonos in the crash site area to increase your chances of obtaining the Spaceship Model. Three Ethers can be exchanged for a random item, which may include artifacts. Keep spending Ether if you’re aiming to get the Spaceship Model through this method.
