Loung Guns provides a practical guide on earning significant money in Star Citizen by collecting and selling Vanduul Cryopods obtained from the Vandal Techmugglers mission in the Nyx system, highlighting efficient inventory management and strategic mission choices. He also emphasizes the improved gameplay experience with the new patch and encourages players to leverage these missions for lucrative rewards.
In this video, Loung Guns provides a quick and practical guide on how to make significant money using Vanduul Cryopods in Star Citizen. The Cryopods can be acquired during the new Vandal Techmugglers mission in the Nyx system, specifically found in the two cargo decks and warehouse associated with that mission. Loung Guns mentions that for a detailed walkthrough of the mission itself, viewers can refer to his full guide linked in the description, but this video focuses solely on what to do with the Cryopods once obtained.
After completing the main quest for the first time, a mission appears in the collections category called “Recover Vandal Corpses,” which requires players to deliver five Vanduul Cryopods to either the Nyx Pyro or Nyx Castra jumpgate stations. Interestingly, the Castra station is temporarily named the Nick Stanton gateway due to a typo. Additionally, there is a related mission to recover Vandal tech, which involves collecting Vandal plating and metal from an auxiliary station. Players are advised to check player-to-player market prices before deciding whether to sell these materials through missions or directly to other players.
A key advantage highlighted in the video is the persistence of hangar and inventory space across the new OV logistics stations, allowing players to accumulate loot from multiple runs before selling it all in one go. This is a significant improvement compared to previous facilities like ASD Onyx in Stanton, where players had to return to specific locations. Loung Guns also shares a useful tip about bringing an 8 SEU crate to store weapons, armor, and ship components efficiently, reducing the need to transfer items individually and saving valuable cargo space.
Players are cautioned to be quick when extracting loot, as Vanduul fighters often respawn during loading, making the escape potentially dangerous. The mission location alternates between the Pyro and Stanton stations, so players can abandon missions that don’t match their current station to save time. Once the correct missions are completed and handed in, players can enjoy the rewards, which can be quite lucrative.
Finally, Loung Guns expresses his enthusiasm for the current patch, noting that the addition of the third system and these new missions make Star Citizen feel more like a fully-fledged game rather than a work in progress. He encourages viewers to subscribe for more updates and videos, and invites them to like and share the content if they found it helpful. Overall, the video serves as a concise and effective guide to maximizing profits through the Vanduul Cryopods missions.
