The video provides a detailed guide to Vang missions in Star Citizen 4.0, focusing on unverified assassination tasks that offer high payouts and valuable loot, while also outlining the associated reputation system and challenges related to crime stats. The creator shares personal experiences and strategies for overcoming bugs and server issues, ultimately encouraging players to engage in these missions for their profitability despite current difficulties.
In this video, the creator provides a comprehensive guide to Vang missions in the 4.0 preview of Star Citizen, aimed primarily at new players. Vang missions are classified as unverified assassination missions that fall under the criminal category within the Stanton system. The mission giver for these tasks is Vang, and they primarily involve space combat, although some may require bunker assassinations. These missions are noted for their high payouts and the potential to loot valuable drugs like Weevil eggs and Maze, despite recent price nerfs implemented in the 4.0 patch.
The guide explains the reputation system associated with Vang missions, which ranges from “Assassin in Training” to “Master Assassin.” As players progress through the levels, they gain access to higher-value missions and improve their chances of obtaining lucrative loot. The payouts for these missions vary significantly, with the most basic missions offering around 26,500 credits, while the highest-tier “Troublesome Task” can yield up to 118,000 credits. However, players are cautioned that higher payouts come with increased risks, including the potential for acquiring crime stats.
The video also addresses the challenges players may face, particularly regarding crime stats. If a player accumulates a crime stat, they risk being sent to jail, which can complicate their ability to continue taking missions. The creator offers two workarounds: switching servers to escape jail or intentionally accruing more crime stats to reset their criminal record. These strategies can help players maintain access to missions even after encountering legal issues.
To begin Vang missions, players are advised to start in either the Crusader or Hurston systems, with a recommendation to focus on Hurston until reaching a certain reputation level before transitioning to Crusader. The guide notes some bugs in the entry-level missions in Crusader, making it more reliable to grind missions in Hurston initially. Once players have progressed, they can return to Crusader, where missions are more concentrated and easier to complete.
Throughout the video, the creator shares their personal experiences and frustrations with the current state of the missions, including server issues and bugs that hinder mission completion. Despite these challenges, they emphasize the profitability and excitement of Vang missions, expressing optimism that future updates will improve the overall gameplay experience. The guide concludes with an encouragement for players to persevere through the current difficulties, as Vang missions remain a lucrative endeavor in Star Citizen.
