Methods for Massacre Missions at High Security military settlements

Aurican

A
Don't let NPCs raise the alarm.
Don't let NPCs see you as you shoot someone.
Don't let NPCs see another NPC being shot. (Ok if one get shot when the other is looking away, but watch out for those peeking from the windows)
Use Overload function on power charger to kill NPCs "stealthily" from behind.
Crouch and sneak behind NPCs (you can basically crawl up to 0 distance without suit upgrades and they won't turn around...oddball) to kill or steal their IDs.
OR
Disable the settlement alarm, before going nuts.

Even if settlement alarms are not raised, if they are red on the radar screen, it means you botched it.

Other tips:
  • NPCs only get alerted once. If they see a dead body or cut door panel, they go yellow once only. If they don't see you, they will go back on their way and won't bat an eyelid again at the same "problem".
    • So you can cut a panel, run away, wait a bit and come back after NPC went on their way. Can even chat them up in front of the body if you like.
  • If you trigger a scan, you can drop items, remove cloned profiles to avoid the alarm, as long as they haven't started the scan. You can pick up the contrabands you dropped after NPC is done with the scan.
  • Some CMD buildings have an unguarded door in the back.
  • You can lure NPCs out of buildings if enough of a commotion is raised. Explosions or killing NPC works.
  • Use the Apex service. If you get killed, no rebuy cost.
  • Don't start a stealth mission if you have a fine or are wanted.


For an out of game final solution...
1. Finish the mission objectives except the "Leave Settlement" one.
2. Log out and back in to reset settlement. This turns all hostile units, non-hostile...cheating but w/e...

-> This removes all items on the base except the power regulator
-> Settlement state reset to beginning. (NPCs come back alive, alarms turned off, no longer hostile)

I was farming in a high security military base. But now its state turn into ''Pirate Attack'' so the settlement is empty until state is gone. The problem is Im looking for exact same bases (Large and high sec [fully shielded icon]) but cant find it. Any suggestions ??

Nvm just found it. Its all about population.


Near star system: XXX, Government: Anarchy, Economy: Military, Station type: Surface Settlement (Odyssey), Min. landing pad: Large

STAR SYSTEM PROPERTIES
Population: Above 1,000,000,000

Its gonna be Large (++) and high sec military base.

The Definitive Stealth Guide!

I finally got my first "Live Odyssey" video guide completed and it's now available to view on Youtube, complete with a brand new intro/outro and improved audio recording. Most of the transcript is available in the description of the video but I'll add the key points here. I'll be adding to this...

He's got some other videos up on his channel detailing some other stuff too.

Thanks for the plug :)

I have wanted to do a massacre mission guide since I started but I ran into blue cobra errors and invisible NPCs so often that I just gave up trying to put the videos together. I may try again soon, just in case this has now been fixed (I don't get blue cobras now I'm sure of that at least, but the invisible NPC thing was so irritating). I'll maybe do a few of these to see.

If you mean the one that has two large HAB buildings on one side and a CMD building on the other (with two landing pads in the middle), then yes, that's the large layout.

Sometimes those ones have a level 3 NPC walking in and out of the corridor leading to the power centre. You can scan them when they finishing looking out the window and head back in. Most settlements have some kind of Achille's heel like that you can exploit in stealth mode.

Disabling the alarms in a military settlement is top priority, unless you're really prepared for all hell to break loose.
