Expedition 22, aka Swarm, is now live in No Man’s Sky, and we can jump in to enjoy everything the new update has to offer. This is a combat-oriented update, and we can take the help of the new campaign to get several rewards.

How to begin the Swarm expedition in No Man’s Sky
Once you’re past the tutorial phase, visit the Anomaly.

  • Go to the Anomaly and park your ship.
  • Find the Terminal Nexus at the entrance.
  • Shift all the items you want to carry to your expedition.
  • Begin the expedition and wait for it to load.
Then, there’s a quiz waiting for you to complete. You’ll be assigned one of the three new factions that are part of the Swarm update. I was assigned to the Weaver team based on my answers. There are no correct or wrong answers; choose responses that you like.

How to complete the Swarm expedition in No Man’s Sky
The Swarm is a shorter expedition compared to previous ones we have had. There are four phases, and the tables below have all the tasks. For now, I have added the tasks and what needs to be done. Every task has a quest marker to follow. However, I will be adding more instructions about each step as I continue solving the expedition myself.

Phase 1
Task
Description
How to complete
Fragmented
Investigate the crashed Ship
Find your starship and complete the initiation stages. Check the on-screen marker to find the location of your ship.
To Live
Echoed three soul fragments
You’ll find three Soul Fragment blueprints. You need to craft and install all three to complete the stage.
To Be Haunted
Seek aid from the other side
Return to your ship and offer the crafted fragments to the pilot.
Forged Signature
Manifest the Traveller Echo’s Signature
Craft the Pilot signature from the recipe you obtain at step three of this milestone.
Contact
Reclaim your Starship
Repair the ship with the required materials. You have to repair two parts to claim your ship. You’ll then get a strange message from a mysterious source.
A Shadow Above
Investigate the object in the sky
Fly your ship to the Hive of Glass. It will disappear, and you’ll be ambushed by smaller Swarmer ships. Destroy all of them to complete this task.
Stratagem
Consult Specialist Polo
Speak with Polo by summoning the Anomaly in the space. Submit the Corrupted Ichors to him, and ask him about Fragmentation. This completes the final task of the first phase.
Phase 2
Task
Description
How to complete
****** Site
Investigate the crashed swarmer
Once your conversation with Polo is over, head to the outer space in your ship. Next, open the Galaxy Map to find a guided route to the crashed swarmer. You’ll need the Cadmium Drive and fuel for several warps.
Disassembly
Disassemble swarm remnants
Once you’ve found and interacted with the crashed swarmer, you’ll have to remove its parts using the Gravitino Coil. Once all parts are moved, interact and pick one of the two available options.
Divine Intelligence
Seek the Atlas
Return to your ship and follow the guided path along the Galaxy map. You’ll first have to help a captain by destroying two freighter cargo loads. Keep following the same path until you reach Popoli Read to speak with the Atlas and present him the Corrupted Ichors.
Emperor of Glass
Confront the Hive of Glass
Attack the Glass of Hive and try to damage its core, but it will trap you in the World of Glass.
Devoured
Escape the World of Glass
Escape the World of Glass. This happens naturally as part of the expedition.
Headquarters
Recount your experience to Polo
Use the summon option to recall your ship. Use it to fly to space and then describe your experience to Polo. Use his Prismatic Core to track the Swarm activity, and you finish the second phase.
Phase 3
Task
Description
How to complete
Purge
Engage the swarm directly
Accept a Purge mission from the Prismatic Core and head to the marked location. Slay several swarmers before using your Gravitino Coil to remove parts from the swarmer to complete the first task.
Restore
Cleanse the planets of swarm
Go to the Prismatic Core and accept a restore mission. Head to the marked location. Switch to the Restore: Swarm mission to know your location.
Use your tool to scan and find three restoration points. Go to the location, press E, and you’re done.
Sabotage
Disrupt the swarm
Accept a Sabotage mission and head to the marked location. You’ll need to retrieve data from a fallen swarmer. You’ll also need the Mining Bolt to reach the swarmer. Restore the three data points, and your task is complete.
Countermeasures
Construct the Prismatic Core
Return to the Anomaly, and accept different missions against the swarm.
Interface
Ward against the Hive of Glass
Go up against the Hive of Glass.
Glass to Glass
Destroy the Hive of Glass
Take down the Hive of Glass by targeting its core. However, it’s well protected by the swarmers, who will also try to attack you.
Chromatic Distortion
Demand answers
I am yet to reach this stage, as I am currently stuck after the third task. It appears that new swarm activities will be released periodically. So we will have to wait until we can complete the Prismatic Core and take down the Hive of Glass.
