Newcomer / Intro Odyssey on foot missions and the Bounty + notorious lvl dilemma

Running some Covert Theft/Heist missions to unlock an engineer. These can probably be accomplished without killing someone, but that is to much trouble for me (much harder especially getting the timing right) – easier to disable alarm & getting the job done while killing a few innocent npc’s :cool:.

I would prefer to just stun them but I don’t see how (wish you could render npc’s unconscious for 5 min by zapping them with the energy link).


Question: I’m fine with getting bounties when killing innocent npc’s, I would even pay a much higher bounty if I could pay Interstellar factors right away. But on these missions I also raise the “notorios” level when killing npc so I have to wait online for the notorious level to cool down and then I can pay off Interstellar Factors.

Obviously I’m doing something wrong or missed something. I’m playing a game where I do missions and the very same game forces me to “just wait” while being logged in the game :LOL:? Can I purchase a “license to kill” somewhere (would spend a 100 mil credits - lol)?

Seriously, is it possible i can get away with killing innocent npc's without the questionable bounty-notoriois lvl game mechanic kicking in?

No killing innocent NPCs causes notoriety on foot or in your ship.

If you want to murder innocent bystanders it comes at a cost.

I have seen it said that we cannot stun or knockout opponents or at least show that being done is because Odyssey is PEGI 16 and a higher rating is needed to depict that.

Covert Thefts are much easier to do. Some settlements layouts are easier still. Just keep looking 'til you find a good spot them knock them out. 🤷‍♂️

'Thanks for the reply.

Was afraid that I can't just kill innocent npc's ...

The missions aren't to hard, if I can kill a few npc's. But killing none is a headache - I wasn't going on a killing spree and I'm pretty sure I received notorious lvl 1 for murdering just a single npc in a mission although it was "in a dark corner" without being watched.

My temporary solution is gather as many corvert theft/heist contracts as possible (I need 6 completed missions of each) and then 'do my time' collectively (and just go watch some tv or so), then pay the bounty so i can get the next bunch of new missions.

One approach is to only accept those missions to anarchy settlements where you can kill people without getting bounty or notoriety, but that requires some research and setup.

Good idea, I have tried settlement raids (no mission) in anarchy systems to avoid bounty or notoriety.

I can confirm that only a single kill (this was in a low security system) will/can raise ones notoriety level to 1, unsure if this is always the case or if it is mission specific/other factors play a role.

Anyways - unlocked the engineer by completing enough covert heist/theft missions :giggle:.
