Difficulty of AX restoration missions
- Thread starter RaketeMike
- Start date
They’ve been (I presume) since the start of the update. Though I can’t quite say when I did my first AX reactivation run of U17, it was fairly close to when it came out.
Definitely spices things up a bit, whether you do them the loud way, or try to handle things without you firing a shot(some settlement types are… definitely not supportive of the latter).
Incidentally, like so many other aspects of the Thargoid War mechanics... it's a shame Juggernauts aren't more front- and- center to activities like the Banshees are.
They should currently be available in:
Kurumanit
Chinas

I have done several missions in this settlement type, and in my opinion it is one of the easier ones. The only issue is getting into security, but when you are in you have all the time of the world and rearm and power to take care of the Banshee. With my G5 L6 it takes about 70 rockets but then it explodes and in the mean time I also take out about 100 Revenants. Great fun and nice gameplay.Hi,
currently I am trying AX restoration missions and restoring power at HIP 21112 - Peralta's Resolve.
There is always 1 Banshee present as well as multiple Revenants. They are all patroling the entrance to the CMD / PWR buildling, it's the miliary map 2 layout
(https://www.quizengine.co.uk/omg/live/omg_1.1.html).
I have tried sneaking to the entrance, one-shotted several Revenants with my G5 Executioner before that. I get killed every time when trying to enter the builing.
When I start with engaging the Banshee and to shoot him in the goid soft tissues on the underside, ALL the Revenants hurry to help the Banshee and kill me.
I even engaged the Banshee from my Krait Mk2 with 3x Large Enhanced AX Missile Racks, but it does not explode.
How do you manage to complete AX restore missions with this special settlement layout ? HIP 21112 - Wilkins's Obligation is much easier, as there is no Banshee present.
Edit: a shield projector does not yield enough defence to get entrance to the building . Forgot to mention that I have a fully upgraded G5 Maverick suit
The more difficult ones are the settlements where the power building is without restock and split from the other buildings.

I noticed that you can do some cheating if you want to, at the end of these missions: return to parked SRV after turning power on and collecting the mission item, and then use stuck recovery to save the time of driving far away from the settlement and recalling your ship. This will directly get you to the main star in your ship with the mission accomplished, and you can jump back to the mission giver system.
