Detailed walkthrough for Mission 5 (2) in Elite Dangerous, including setup, objectives, and step-by-step strategies to overcome frustrating challenges and reach the escape point.
Walkthrough
- 1Setup: Equip the 3rd Soldier with a Sniper Rifle (70 rounds) and 2 Anti-Tank Mines.
- 2Mine Placement: Immediately turn West from the vehicle. Lie down on the right side of the road, on the rightmost tire track. Place one Anti-Tank Mine on the track, then roll left twice and place another next to it. Return to the vehicle.
- 3Tank Destruction: Get in the vehicle, drive around the sharp right curve. Stop when the land rises to provide cover. Ensure the pursuing tank is destroyed by your mines. If it continues, restart and reposition mines.
- 4First Enemy Engagement: After the tank is destroyed, get back in the vehicle and drive around the sharp left curve, under the fallen tree. Stop before the next turn (facing East, road curves North). Get out and equip your Sniper Rifle.
- 5Snipe Enemies: Move around the curve on foot to a small hill on the left. Do not go past the top of the hill. Zoom in and eliminate the soldier on the left first (he has the bazooka), then the other.
- 6Advance to Next Enemies: Move Northeast to the right side of the road where the land levels out and a wooded area begins. A large white sign will fade in. Stop and use the targeting box to find the next enemy kneeling between the sign and the first tree to its right (also has a bazooka). Kill him.
- 7Deal with Incoming Soldiers: Wait a few seconds for soldiers to run from the right. Use the targeting box to track them. Two will be in the road, followed by two more to the left.
- 8Advance Through Wooded Area: Slowly move toward the white sign, staying in the wooded area and using trees for cover when they fire. Stay in first-person view, move slowly, and shoot enemies one at a time.
- 9Engage Further Enemies: Once the previous enemies are dead, you'll be near the white sign. Strafe across the left side of the road and move slowly over a small hill until you can see the next two enemies. Shoot them (one has a bazooka).
- 10Approach Enemy Base: Turn left (North) and move to the grey, rocky area next to the murky water. Turn back East, staying close to the water. Continue until the large enemy base comes into view.
- 11Snipe Bazooka Enemy at Base: Use the large telephone tower as a guide. Move slowly forward until you see the kneeling enemy in front of it (he has a bazooka). Kill him.
- 12Return to Vehicle: Make your way back to your vehicle, staying on the grey area when near the tanks.
- 13Drive to Enemy Base Area: Get back in the armoured vehicle. Follow the road to the large white sign, then turn left (North) onto the grey land. Follow it to the enemy base. Cut left (North), go around the closest tower, then turn right (East) onto the brick road. Keep all enemy buildings to your right and mountains to your left. Continue East until the main road cuts across your path, then turn left onto it.
- 14Navigate Slowdown and Guardhouse: After a black spot, you'll climb a hill and the vehicle will slow. Keep holding Y until you reach the top and pick up speed. Go under a sign, then down a hill curving right. As the hill ends, it becomes a straight away leading to a U-turn and a guardhouse. To avoid the guardhouse and soldier, cut across the middle area where the land levels out after the hill. Turn left back onto the road (facing NW).
- 15Approach Mountain Gap: You'll see large mountains in the distance. As you get closer, there's a soldier to the right (no bazooka). When the road makes a sharp right turn, do not follow it. Instead, head directly West to the small gap between the mountains. The vehicle will slow significantly.
- 16Navigate Mountain Road: Get on the one-lane road between the mountains and follow it as it twists. The vehicle will slow down near the top. Keep holding Y.
- 17Final Enemy and Escape: Reach the top, cross the stone bridge, and start down the other side. Speed down the mountain road. As you see the exit into a large grassy area, stop before it and get out. Equip the Sniper Rifle. Edge near the exit. There's an enemy with a bazooka to the South. Face South, strafe right until you can see him, kill him, and get back in the armoured vehicle.
- 18Reach Escape Point: Drive down through the grass and onto the road to complete the mission.
Tips:
- The framerate drops can be severe; be patient and rely on sound cues and the targeting box.
- Enemies can shoot before they are visible due to
