The video explains how to access and navigate the new Onyx facilities in Star Citizen 4.3 to obtain the ASD Stealth Armor by completing contracts from the Ocro Agency, overcoming environmental hazards, enemies, and puzzles across multiple facility wings. It highlights key strategies for collecting armor pieces, managing loot, and notes the armor’s rarity, while also mentioning a rumored rare item and promising future guides once current puzzle issues are fixed.
The new Onyx facilities in Star Citizen 4.3, located on Stanton’s moons, offer players challenging environments filled with tough enemies, puzzles, and valuable loot, including the new ASD Stealth Armor and the Zenith sniper rifle. These locations are currently available on the PTU for all backers. To access the facilities, players need to obtain a contract from the Ocro Agency via the investigations tab, as there are no quantum markers to jump directly to the sites. The initial contract requires some manual quantum travel between markers before landing in the large hangar of the facility.
Upon entering the facility, players find themselves in an armistice zone lobby with a clinic for healing. The first objective is to head to the engineering wing to locate the ASD Stealth Armor chest piece. Players can use an orbit mining attachment on their multi-tool to cut through obstacles or take a natural tunnel while fighting juvenile valar enemies. Navigating through the facility involves timing movements to avoid radiation pulses and clearing out enemies while progressing through various parkour sections and shuttle carts.
After securing the chest piece in engineering, players move on to the research wing to collect the remaining armor parts. This area features multiple floors with elite enemies and several loot crates containing Gist cores for armor components. The research wing includes various labs such as the gravity lab, animal lab, and medical lab, each housing specific armor crates like arms, legs, helmets, and backpacks. Players are advised to store their loot frequently to manage inventory space effectively.
The helmet pieces are notably more abundant, with five crates scattered throughout the research wing, while other armor parts have fewer crates. The final loot crates are near the lobby elevator, where opposing factions spawn and fight, adding an extra layer of challenge. The ASD Stealth Armor has a relatively rare drop rate, roughly one in twelve, but with many Onyx locations available, players can quickly farm the armor once familiar with the layout and enemy patterns.
Lastly, the video mentions a rumored rare trade item called the ASD secure drive, supposedly dropped by certain NPCs, though it remains elusive after extensive searching. The creator encourages viewers to share their findings and experiences with the Onyx facilities. A more comprehensive guide and additional content related to Onyx locations and puzzles are expected once the current issues with puzzles are resolved. The video concludes with a reminder to fly safe and stay alert for bugs in the game.
