Summary
Elite Dangerousis primarily aspace combat, exploration, and trading game. However, theOdysseyDLC added further gameplay loops to the game in the form of ground-based activities and missions. Players can complete a range of missions, from simple deliveries to the assassination of faction targets. Ground wars were added, and players can take part in large-scale planet-based battles in conflict zones.
Ground activities, and especially combat, can be tough inElite Dangerous. This means that having the right tools for the job is invaluable. Most players will have a number of differentspace suit buildsthat have been upgraded and modified to fit different activities. When done properly, this can open up a great way for a new player tomake some good moneyin the game.
Everyday Wear For Mission Running
Loadout and Suit Mods:
The aim of this suit loadout is to create something that the player can wear when runningElite Dangerous:Odysseyground missions.This is a general-purpose suit that is a jack of all trades, so the player can run any mission without needing to switch suits.
This build maximizes backpack capacity, suit power, and air reserves. This means the player won’t need to keep topping up their power and air while running a mission, and therefore makes it faster to farm chained missions. The sprint upgrade makes moving between quest locations faster as well. It’s not a great suit forground combat, but as the player won’t be entering any war zones while wearing this suit, this shouldn’t be a problem.
Specifically Designed For Farming Materials
AnyElite Dangerousplayer that wants to fully upgrade all of their suit andpersonal weapon buildswill need to spend weeks, if not months,farming all the necessary materials. This includes all the materials that will be needed for engineer unlocks. This suit is designed to maximize the speed of material farming.
It is very similar to the general-purpose Maverick suit, but swaps out the improved sprint for reduced tool battery consumption. This means the player can run the energy transfer tool and the cutting tool on the suit’s energy reserves for longer, which will reduce the number of refills they need to track down while on the planet.
For Assassination Missions Without Stealth
The most efficient way to tackle assassination ground missions inElite Dangerousis to use a stealth suit and a sniper rifle. However, some players simply don’t enjoy stealth gameplay and prefer to go full Rambo on their assassination targets instead. This suit is designed to make this method safer and easier.
The increased sprint duration and improved jump assist give the player plenty of options for good positioning, as these missions can get out of hand fast if all the guards in a settlement come after the player at once. The faster shield regen helps for survivability, and the extra ammo capacity is a must-have for larger settlements with numerous guards stationed there.
One Suit Fits All
Elite Dangerousplayers who enjoy exploration and exobiology gameplay will want to acquire a suitable upgraded Artemis suit.Exobiology can be a very profitable activity, but overall income is driven by how quickly the player completes exobiology sites, and this suit build is aimed at improving that efficiency.
The sprint and jump assist mods will help the player to move between scannable flora and fauna quickly. The night vision upgrade is a must-have when exploring the dark side of a planet. And, of course, an extra battery is required so that the player can run their survey tool for longer before needing to recharge their suit.
Designed To Deal Death From Above
Completing ground war conflict zones inElite Dangerouscan be a lot of fun. However, they can be particularly tough for solo players. This is especially true of the higher-difficulty zones. This suit is focused on staying alive during ground wars, and killing as many of the opposing team as possible. The idea is that the player stays mobile, and tries to use high cover to keep them safe.
Increased sprint duration and better jump assist provide mobility, so the player will be able to move between capture points rapidly using this suit. Night vision is very useful, as some planets are very dark, and it can be hard to see enemy troops. The extra ammo capacity means more time between resupplies, and less time between reloads.
Sneak In And Sneak Out
Stealthis generally the preferred tactic for completing many of the types ofElite Dangerousground missions, and this suit is designed for just such a purpose. The idea is that the suit gives the player plenty of mobility, allowing them to bypass guards and get out of detection range quickly.
Night vision is incredibly important here. The player does not want to have to use their suit’s flashlight, as they need to avoid detection by settlement guards. Spring and jump assist upgrades mean the player can move rapidly between cover, and also jump up to the top of the highest structures to hide. Backpack capacity is needed because some missions result in needing to carry quite a lot of loot while players are making their escape.
