The video provides a detailed guide on completing the “Halt Illegal Surveillance” mission in Star Citizen to quickly grind mercenary reputation. Players are advised to use fast ships to locate and destroy monitors at Comm arrays, avoiding combat with enemy ships to efficiently complete the mission and earn reputation rewards.
In the video, the content creator discusses the “Halt Illegal Surveillance” mission in Star Citizen, emphasizing that it is a great way to grind mercenary reputation quickly. The mission is found under the mercenary tab and offers a payout of 16k. The primary objective is to go to a Comm array and locate the target, which involves scanning for yellow markers that indicate the target’s location. Upon arriving at the Comm array, players will encounter light fighters and prospectors that need to be dealt with before scanning for the actual targets.
Players are advised to fly small and fast ships to easily avoid engaging with the enemy ships and focus on scanning and locating the monitors to destroy. The monitors are marked by yellow markers that disappear when looked at directly, but players can still have a general idea of their location. Once the monitor is targeted, it can be destroyed with ease, as they do not shoot back in the current patch. The video demonstrates how to locate and destroy the monitors efficiently to complete the mission.
The content creator highlights that in the current patch, players can destroy the monitors one by one without worrying about a timer that previously existed in the game. This change allows for a more strategic and relaxed approach to completing the mission. By flying a fast interceptor and using the navigation mode to track the yellow markers, players can swiftly progress through the mission. The video shows the successful completion of the mission without engaging in combat with the enemy ships, showcasing a fast and efficient way to grind mercenary reputation.
To maximize reputation gains, the creator suggests waiting for the “Halt Illegal Surveillance” mission to pop up again after completing it, as it offers one of the highest mercenary reputation rewards. In the meantime, players can undertake other missions like the “Copon” mission to continue earning reputation. By cycling through missions strategically, players can efficiently grind their mercenary reputation in Star Citizen. The video concludes with a reminder of the mission’s benefits and encourages viewers to use the guide to progress quickly in the game.
