To build exterior walkways on your Freighter, you’ll need to unlock the Blueprints for exterior walkways, ladders, and more through the Freighter Upgrade Terminal. Read on below to learn how to do this.

Once you’ve unlocked these Blueprints, you can walk into the buildable space in your Freighter and open build mode, triggered by the up direction button on PlayStation. Scroll along to find the exterior elements for your Freighter and place them. Note that you’ll need the resources required in the build mode menu before you can build any of these parts. Once you’ve placed all the parts you want, such as a glass corridor, exterior walkway, and an exterior platform, exit build mode and enjoy them.
