Your guide to Elite Dangerous Mission 1 (5): Learn how to get the decoding device and escape the boat.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    You'll start on a boat. Your initial loadout is the Spider/Vanguard and an MP44 with ammo. Your objectives are to get the decoding device and then escape. Head South from your starting position. You'll see two soldiers on the upper decks; use the target boxes for cover and take them out. Stick to the lower deck and make your way to the far South end of the boat. You're looking for a door next to some stairs and a large box.
  2. 2
    Enter that door and head down the stairs on the left side of the room. Keep going all the way down to the bottom of the ship.
  3. 3
    Once you reach the bottom, you'll find two guards in the room right next to you. Face Southeast and strafe left while shooting to take them down.
  4. 4
    After they're dealt with, move South into the next room which also has stairs. Don't rush in; take a couple of steps in and then back out. This will draw the attention of some Germans who are upstairs. Wait for them to come down the stairs and then engage them.
  5. 5
    Proceed through this room and wait near the opening on the other end. In this final room, there's one more guard positioned to your right. Face Southwest and strafe into the room to eliminate him.
  6. 6
    With the last guard down, turn around and grab the decoder device located on the floor on the other side of the room.
  7. 7
    Now, you need to backtrack. Head back to the stairs you originally came down and go all the way back up. Exit through the same door you entered (which will now be to the East) and turn left. Run all the way back to the raft located at the sinking end of the ship to complete the mission.
