In this Star Citizen tutorial, Even Lee demonstrates a reliable workaround for the bug-ridden tech smuggler warehouse mission by using a drop-and-carry technique with the key card to prevent data loss and performing a quantum jump to reset the mission environment. This method enables players to bypass mission glitches, successfully complete all objectives, and access the warehouse loot.
In this Star Citizen tutorial, Even Lee presents a workaround to successfully complete the tech smuggler warehouse mission, which has been plagued by bugs and issues. The mission begins by acquiring the mission to reach the QV station. Upon arrival, players are advised to engage enemies aggressively to survive and proceed normally through the initial stages, including looting the main boss for a card and data. The crucial step involves obtaining the bright yellow warehouse key card, which must not be inserted into the server immediately but instead taken directly to the warehouse.
A key tip involves dropping the warehouse key card on the ground and then holding the F key to pick it up with the “carry” action. This prevents the card from losing its data or disappearing, a common problem when handling the card improperly. Once inserted into the warehouse system, the card will get stuck, which is the desired effect. Players must then gather their entire crew and return to their ship to perform a quantum jump at least 2 GM away before returning to the QV station. This jump resets the mission environment, allowing progress to continue.
Upon returning, players head back to the warehouse where the key card remains stuck in the system. The card is then used sequentially on the servers at locations where bosses were defeated, again using the drop-and-carry method to avoid data loss. This process involves clearing multiple warehouses labeled A and B and continuing the mission as usual. When reaching the Polaris location, the same technique is applied to insert the card into the server, ensuring it reads 66% completion before moving forward.
The final stage of the mission presents another bug: the last door requiring the card input is malfunctioning. Players need to enter the facility, defeat all AI enemies, and find a laptop containing a code to unlock the door manually. After entering the code, the card is once again dropped and carried to the final server, where it should show 100% completion. The card is then taken back to the warehouse location and inserted, which should successfully open the warehouse.
Even Lee emphasizes the importance of the drop-and-carry technique throughout the mission to avoid losing the key card or its data, which has caused many players frustration. The workaround allows players to complete the mission and access the warehouse loot, including weapons, components, and functional freight elevators. This guide provides a reliable method to bypass the bugs and enjoy the rewards of the tech smuggler warehouse mission in Star Citizen.
