Follow this comprehensive Elite Dangerous Mission 3 walkthrough to free pilots, destroy a transformer and train fuel tank, and successfully exit the map.
Walkthrough
- 1Control your Sniper and have your other troops follow. Move to the train on the right, then have them Kneel and Stop behind it. Have your Sniper Lie down and crawl to the right of the train.
- 2Take out the soldier in the AA Gun bunker first, then aim at the bunker on the other side of the AA light. Strafe right until you have a clear shot and eliminate the enemy.
- 3Gather your troops and head East across the train tracks until you can no longer go East. Turn North, hugging the wall on your right.
- 4When you reach the area with benches under an overhang, be alert for a patrolling guard coming from the North. Eliminate him with your Sniper to avoid attracting attention.
- 5Continue North towards the building with the pilots. As the next AA Light comes into view on the left, deal with the guards. The first is in a bunker to the left of the AA Light. Use 3rd Person view to target him and shoot.
- 6Move forward until another AA Light comes into view to the right of the first. The next guard is just beyond this AA Light. Use 3rd Person view to target his general area, inch forward until he's visible, and shoot him. You should now be near the building with the pilots.
- 7If your troops aren't following, regroup them and move along the side of the building. Have everyone Stop before the entrance. Switch to a character with an SMG.
- 8Move to the entrance and prepare to strafe across it while firing. There's a soldier inside the building across from the entrance. Avoid hitting the civilian to his left. Use 1st Person view, strafe across the entrance, and shoot the guard. Enter the building and get near the civilian to complete the first objective.
- 9Return outside and rejoin your squad. Regain control of the Sniper and Kneel/Run along the North side of the building until you can see the Heavy Machine Gun tower.
- 10Inch forward along the building's side until you have a shot at the soldier manning the Heavy MG. Shoot him.
- 11Slowly move towards the tower. There's one more guard who patrols around the transformer. You can retrieve your squad for backup if desired. Once the guard is dealt with, switch to a character with Explosives and have the others follow.
- 12Walk up to the transformer, open your Inventory, select Timed Explosive, and set it. Set the timer to approximately 45 seconds.
- 13Run back South near the building until the train closest to the building ends. Just after it is the Gas Car you need to place an explosive on. If you can't find it, use the Map.
- 14Place an explosive on the Gas Car, attempting to match the remaining time on the transformer explosive (around 15 seconds).
- 15Once both explosives are set, run South, keeping to the East side of the map.
- 16When you reach the area where you previously crossed the tracks, cross them again back to the West side and head towards the Starting Point.
- 17Continue running back to the Starting Point. You will hear warning sirens and planes will begin to arrive. The mission ends once everyone has reached the Starting Point.
Tips
- Use the Sniper rifle for long-range eliminations to avoid detection.
- Employ 3rd Person view for targeting enemies when precise aiming is needed.
- Be careful not to hit the civilian inside the pilot building.
- Setting the timed explosives with close timers can be fun but isn't critical for mission success.
- Use the map if you have trouble locating the Gas Car.
