Your comprehensive guide to completing Mission 1 (2) in Elite Dangerous. Learn how to gather your scattered troops and reach the escape point, avoiding enemy patrols and engaging threats.
Walkthrough
- 1After your plane crashes, your troops will be scattered across a wooded map with roads. Keep to the woods to avoid enemy patrols.
- 2When you gain control, order all soldiers to Lie Down to reduce visibility.
- 3Direct your 1st Soldier (your starting character) to Move South towards the 2nd Soldier.
- 4Simultaneously, take control of your Sniper and scout the road. Be aware of intersecting patrols that can create groups of four enemies.
- 5Once the 1st Soldier reaches the 2nd, use the Sniper to eliminate any nearby patrols. Focus on the patrol coming from the East, as the one from the South may have already passed.
- 6Order the 2nd Soldier to Follow the 1st, and have the 1st Soldier Move to your Sniper's position.
- 7Eliminate any remaining patrols to protect your squadmates as they converge.
- 8Once all soldiers are grouped, direct the 1st and 2nd Soldiers to Follow the Sniper.
- 9Move the Sniper about halfway towards the 4th Soldier's position, staying in the wooded areas. Observe a nearby cabin for enemy presence.
- 10Continue East towards the 4th Soldier, staying near the mountains on the right.
- 11Once you reach the 4th Soldier, order everyone to Follow you and proceed East towards the road.
- 12Engage the enemies located in the cabin at the intersection of the two roads.
- 13Order your squadmates to Stop in a covered area. Have the Sniper Lie Down and crawl towards the cabin.
- 14The first guard is in front of the cabin, facing the intersection. You can either crawl up the hill for higher ground or along the road to sneak up.
- 15Shoot the first guard and position your Scope to observe the next pair of soldiers emerging from the cabin.
- 16Quickly eliminate the next pair. If they engage you, you can retreat to your squad for support, but this puts them at risk.
- 17After all guards are eliminated, move everyone to the Escape Point located to the NE, near the bridge.
- 18Mission complete when all troops reach the Escape Point.
Tips
- Keep soldiers prone (Lie Down) when not actively moving to avoid detection by patrols.
- Use the wooded areas to your advantage for cover and to flank enemies.
- The Sniper is crucial for eliminating patrols from a distance and scouting ahead.
- Be cautious of intersecting patrols, which can quickly overwhelm a small group.
- If overwhelmed by enemies at the cabin, use the terrain and your squad's support to your advantage.
