"As expected Bounty Cargo Salvage took a big ol’ nerf with the latest patch, but in today’s video we’re going to be taking a look to see what returns you can still make out of it and also put together a quick guide for anyone looking at the "
In this video, the content creator explores new salvaging strategies for big payouts in the game Star Citizen. They start by discussing the impact of a recent patch that nerfed the profitability of bounty cargo missions, but they explain that these missions are still viable for making money. The loot tables for these missions have been expanded to include lower value legal cargo, such as medical supplies, gold, and tanite. While the profits from these missions have been reduced, they still offer a good return compared to other game loops, with the content creator making over 1 million credits in 2 hours.
The video then introduces the Reclaimer, the largest salvage ship in the game, as the new king of credits. The best mission to focus on with the Reclaimer is the cleanup mission, which offers a payout of 250k credits. The mission involves using the Reclaimer’s claw to break apart and disintegrate a Ninetales Hammerhead ship. By optimizing the salvage process and printing different sizes of cargo boxes, the content creator was able to fit a total of 1,556 seu (salvage equivalent units) on board. Selling these construction materials resulted in a profit of over 10 million credits per run, which took about an hour and a half.
The video emphasizes the importance of working as a pair when using the Reclaimer, with one person handling the salvage process and the other managing the cargo. It is also mentioned that the more people who know about this strategy and own a Reclaimer, the lower the rates of return, as there is only one cleanup mission available per server at a time. The content creator suggests combining bounty missions and salvage missions, with one person taking the bounties in a cargo ship to scoop any valuable cargo found during the salvage missions.
The video concludes by advising players to not spend all their time on the most profitable money-making methods, but to also try out other game loops and enjoy the gameplay.

They express gratitude to the viewers and look forward to the next video.
