No Man’s Sky Player Attempts Fishing in a Tornado—With Hilarious Consequences

In a recent No Man’s Sky update, Hello Games introduced a long-awaited feature—fishing. Fans had been speculating that studio founder Sean Murray was teasing new content, with guesses ranging from Worlds Part 2 to rivers being added. But much to their delight, the update delivered the much-requested fishing mechanic instead.

Since the update dropped less than a day ago, players have been experimenting with the new fishing system, testing out its features and learning what works—and what doesn't.

One adventurous player, however, has gone above and beyond by discovering what happens when you attempt to fish in the middle of a tornado. Spoiler: it doesn't end well, and you probably shouldn’t try it either.

No Man's Sky Warning: Avoid Fishing During Tornadoes!

PlayStation user reallybi shared their chaotic fishing experience on Reddit, warning others, "Do NOT fish during a tornado." The player stood on a platform out at sea, enduring torrential rain and lightning as they watched their fishing float bob peacefully in the water. But the calm didn’t last long—soon, a powerful gust of wind swept through, launching reallybi high into the air.

Despite being tossed around by the storm, the player refused to let go of their fishing rod, keeping their bait in the ocean in a determined attempt to catch something. For a full 15 seconds, reallybi soared through the air, holding on as the wind carried them up and down in a wild ride.

Fishing Meets No Man’s Sky’s Expansive New Update

The recent Aquarius fishing update is part of No Man’s Sky’s ongoing content expansions, following Worlds Part 1. The latest patch brings a host of exciting new features to the game, including revamped water textures, the ability to land your ship on water, and a full suite of fishing gear. New rods, baits, water jetpacks, and other equipment add depth to the game’s aquatic environments, enhancing the immersive experience in this ever-evolving eight-year-old title.

For players curious about the new fishing mechanic, the lesson is clear—explore at your own risk, and maybe avoid casting your line during a tornado!
