In this video, the player discusses their preferred method of settlement raiding in Elite Dangerous Odyssey. They use a stealthy sniper approach, utilizing a fully upgraded and engineered Maverick suit and executioner sniper rifle. The player emphasizes the importance of finding pre-upgraded or engineered equipment to optimize raiding efficiency. They highlight the versatility of their method, which can be applied to any type of settlement, regardless of its level of security.
The player begins by scouting the area from an elevated position and landing softly to minimize detection. They demonstrate the necessity of remaining crouched on the ground to reduce visibility and movement noise. The player then proceeds to silently eliminate guards and other threats by carefully leading targets with their sniper rifle. They emphasize the need to avoid firing when enemies suspect something is happening, as this could trigger alarms and make the engagement more difficult.
Once the exterior is clear, the player locates the alarm console and shuts off the alarms to ensure uninterrupted infiltration. They then proceed to search for higher level access cards and eliminate any remaining resistance inside the settlement. The player also shares a technique called “Alla mowing” where they use a noisy plasma pistol to draw enemies towards them, allowing for a more controlled clearance of the building. The video concludes by encouraging players to start with pre-engineered gear and supporting the content creators on Patreon.
