This Star Citizen guide helps new and solo players acquire blueprints for the FS9 LMG, BR2 shotgun, and Galant rifle by completing reputation-based missions in the Pyro system, primarily offered by Citizens for Prosperity under the Mercenary tab. It emphasizes starting with easier Verified Missions to build reputation, preparing for combat-heavy tasks, and being patient with potential bugs and mission repeats to collect all 14 available blueprints.
This Star Citizen crafting blueprint acquisition guide is designed especially for new and solo players, focusing on how to quickly and easily obtain blueprints for the FS9 LMG, BR2 shotgun, and Galant rifle. In addition to these three weapon blueprints, the missions involved can also reward players with a total of 14 different blueprints, including various ADP armor parts and weapon magazines or batteries. To access these missions, players need to be in the Pyro system, either in orbit or at a space station, and use the contract manager to find available missions based on their reputation level.
The guide explains that the easiest missions to start with are legal Verified Missions offered by Citizens for Prosperity (CIP), which are found under the Mercenary tab. New players should aim to reach at least the Junior Contractor reputation level with CIP by completing some initial missions, unlocking more mission options such as “Destroy head hunter stolen data” and “Disable outlaw stronghold at an asteroid base.” Maintaining a neutral or positive reputation with CIP is important to avoid hostility and turret fire. Each mission completion rewards one unique blueprint out of the 14, so players need to repeat missions to collect all blueprints, but they won’t receive duplicates.
The video walkthrough covers the first two missions in detail. For “Destroy head hunter stolen data,” players engage in a ground FPS mission requiring combat against hostile NPCs and server destruction, with the author successfully obtaining the FS9 magazine blueprint. The second mission, “Disable outlaw stronghold at an asteroid base,” involves navigating hostile territory, destroying servers inside an asteroid base, and resulted in acquiring the FS9 LMG blueprint. Players are advised to bring FPS weapons and medical ships for survivability during these combat-heavy missions.
For players with higher CIP reputations like Contractor or Senior Contractor, additional missions such as “Destroy all law data servers” and “Halt narcotics operation” become available, but these are more challenging and sometimes bugged. The guide shows how these missions take place in hostile environments with aggressive NPCs and turrets, requiring careful planning and combat skills. However, some missions may have bugs, such as missing objectives or enemies, forcing players to relog or switch servers. The author emphasizes the grindy nature of blueprint acquisition and the importance of patience and persistence.
In conclusion, acquiring blueprints in Star Citizen through these missions is a time-consuming but rewarding process, heavily influenced by player reputation, mission difficulty, and luck. New players are encouraged to focus on the simpler missions first and be prepared for challenges, including hostile NPCs and occasional bugs. Switching servers or waiting for mission cooldowns can help in obtaining missions more quickly. The guide closes with encouragement for players to stay patient and persistent in their efforts to collect all desired blueprints.
