Cheat death in Returnal, use a Reconstructor.

PlayStation5’s newest family member Returnal has swept all of us gamers off our feet and we just cannot get enough. The more you play this game the more you discover this strange world of Atropos. The game at its core is surviving the time loop. If you die, you restart the game from your ship Helios. Now that may be fun since you respawn to a whole new world every time, but you lose your non-permanent resources. It also gets a bit frustrating given you were so close to beating the boss and had to start over. Returnal understands that. The game has put in a feature called ‘Reconstructor’ in the game. It will give you a much-needed lifeline that you might want to know about. So in this guide, we tell you all about the ‘Reconstructor’ in Returnal, its uses, and location so keep reading.
