- A tutorial on how to complete an on-foot raid / massacre mission at a surface settlement (for the Odyssey DLC) in the sci-fi space flight sim game, Elite:Dangerous.
In a previous video ( • Elite Dangerous Mini-T... ) I showcased completing a settlement raid mission. A commenter remarked, "Why dont youtubers do vids with basic vanilla setup?" (the mission was completed using fully-upgraded and G5 engineered equipment). To be fair, I DID make note that video was less a tutorial and more of a ride-along; that after editing 16 prior tutorials, I was in the mood to cut loose and have some fun. Which became the takeaway of the video: HAVE FUN!
But after giving it some thought, I concluded the commenter was correct. My goal with these videos is to help educate players new to Elite:Dangerous. It's unreasonable to expect them to have best-in-class gear so early in the game.
So, in keeping with the original spirit of this series, I present this redux of that previous tutorial; only THIS time I complete it with "vanilla" gear (i.e. no upgrades, no engineering). In an effort to present the most accurate recreation and reduce the variables, I accepted the same mission type (settlement raid) back to the same location (Gunther Engineering Enterprise) against the same minor faction (Usdia Purple Raiders). I even try to retrace the same path I took in the original video.
Enjoy!
Thanks, I needed this. I just started playing again after many years. I played the game when it first came out and did not play it with any expansions. Anyway, I was unsure about doing ground missions with vanilla gear because all the videos I find on the topic were with engineered gear and weapons only, even when typing in "settlement raids and missions without engineered gear". Thumbs up.
You're welcome o7
Thanks so much for this. I honestly don’t get the hate for Odyssey, this sort of gameplay is great fun IMO. Kind of reminds me of clearing out camps from mid to long-range in Far Cry
You're welcome; thank _YOU_ for watching 👍
That's the first time I have seen the Shield Protector being used. Great video.
Good video. Important points: Go well stocked. Land on a roof. Thanks!
Someone sent me one of your videos because I was looking for a laser build for conflict zones and your challenger build looked amazing and I was gonna use that for my anaconda and then I saw more of your videos and they looked awesome too. It was kinda hard finding useful stuff out since some videos were out of date but thanks again for all you do cmdr
You're welcome o7
Hello, feel bad you had to make this video due to my comment.
I hope it didnt cause you too much hassle.
Must say that it definitely seemed more challenging. More enjoyable?
Thanks again, have subscribed in view of you making more videos
No hassle at all. And no need to feel bad; your comment was on point.
Each has their own challenges. With the upgraded gear it offers the challenge for one-shot-one-kill if one does their part to aim and lead their target properly. Without the upgraded gear the challenge becomes leveraging all skills and equipment as a whole (grenades, energy cells, med kits, movement, positioning, etc.) to survive. Both are fun! :)
These damn Manticore guns and their ridiculous slow shot speed. Too bad they forgot a .50cal in the future. I remember doing CZs and actively evaded sniper shots. 😂
Thanks to your video, I know now that the Intimidator is pretty useless, at least unupgraded.
You're welcome; thanks for watching.
Yeah, un-upgraded the Intimidator is not very good. Fully upgraded and engineered, it's a one-shot-one-kill beast; even against a fully-shielded enemy (if you're close enough).
Well played! :)
When you state "WITHOUT" are you saying a grade one artimis etc or one of those free grade three artmis's etc. and being totally uninformed, what rifle, grade, is that your using?
0:48 The suit is a Grade 1 Dominator Suit, no engineering modifications.
The weapons are all of the Manticore plasma variants, save the Oppressor (again, Grade 1, no engineering modifications):
- 0:34 Manticore Executioner (sniper rifle)
- 0:39 Manticore Intimidator (shotgun)
- 0:43 Manticore Tormentor (pistol)
nice
wtf is this aim bro
