In this Star Citizen bunker guide, Double Not highlights the importance of proper gear—including heavy armor, a tractor beam, and a cargo-capable ship like the Clipper—and strategic mission choices to maximize loot and profits. He advises careful looting techniques to avoid enemy respawns, efficient inventory management, and selling loot through cargo centers for optimal earnings, with runs potentially netting around 200,000 credits.
In this Star Citizen bunker guide, Double Not emphasizes the importance of having an accountability buddy for smoother bunker runs, though solo runs are also possible. The key to success lies in having the right tools: heavy armor, a large backpack (such as Penrook or Novacov), a preferred weapon loadout (sniper and LMG recommended), extra ammo, med pens, a med gun, and crucially, a tractor beam. The tractor beam is invaluable for moving loot, bodies, and even reviving teammates, making it essential gear for bunker runs.
Selecting the right ship and cargo box is another critical aspect. A ship capable of carrying cargo, ideally with a medbed, is necessary since the real profit comes from selling the loot and gear gathered during the mission, not the mission payout itself. Double Not favors the Clipper for its 12 SCU cargo capacity, medbed, and compact size, but any ship that can carry cargo will work. Having at least one size two SCU box is recommended for storing loot efficiently.
For missions, Double Not suggests starting with the “Call to Arms” mission for extra cash per enemy defeated and then focusing on mercenary missions like “Help Protect This Site,” which allows safe looting after mission completion due to only cops respawning. Bounty hunter missions in derelict outposts are more dangerous because of enemy respawns but offer continuous loot opportunities. The advice is to take your time looting and leave some enemies alive if necessary to avoid triggering respawns prematurely.
During looting, players may encounter issues such as rubber band snapback where loot returns to bodies if moved too quickly, and difficulties with certain weapons that can’t fit in backpacks. Double Not advises swapping guns to manage inventory space efficiently. Dealing with backpacks found on enemies requires special handling, such as equipping their chest piece to access their backpack contents or stripping down to equip their undersuit, ensuring no loot is left behind.
Finally, when selling loot, avoid quicksell options to maximize profits by selling the contents of cargo boxes through the cargo center’s computer. Double Not shares that a typical run can yield nearly 200,000 credits combining mission payout and loot sales.
