GUIDE to Gathering On Foot Materials WITHOUT Combat in Elite Dangerous Odyssey

GUIDE to Gathering On Foot Materials WITHOUT Combat in Elite Dangerous Odyssey
Early game on foot material gathering in Elite Dangerous Odyssey can be very challenging. There are however Odyssey settlements that you can completely loot without getting involved in any combat. There are no penalties for doing so, you don’t need to rely on an anarchy faction and the systems you specifically need are in abundance …particularly at the moment.
In this video I run through how to easily find the systems you need and what you need to do to start hoovering up on foot materials right now.

[@SimWithDon]

One tip... don't park on a landing pad. I did this when doing repower missions, and the settlement self defense thought I was trespassing and attacked my ship! Great video! o7

[@TheBuurPit]

Great tip!

[@TheKnightArch]

It never happened before, I need to check after the update 16 if it is a new bug. Thanks for letting me know.

[@raymobula]

Haha - the same happened to me. Loitering is a crime - punishable by death.

[@raymobula]

@@TheKnightArchthis happened to me months ago. FDev should keep it as a feature, since it’s a nice facepalm moment. 😂 It’s Dangus out there.

[@TheKnightArch]

@@raymobula oohhh now I got the things right, you all are parking, not landing at the landing pad. I should have paid more attention to the words used 🤣🤣 And this definitely happened to me once 🤣

[@Darth-Vater]

Another hint: give 4 pips to the system before landing. That way the ship's shields stay way longer when things go south.

[@cmdrjontomasson5510]

Nice. I am a fan of looting during restore power missions. "Power is on, but looters got there before me. So sad. They cleaned the place out." 😂

[@OmegaPaladin144]

I always figured that was kind of assumed - given the low payout.

[@TheBuurPit]

😂

[@r4dios1lence92]

For anyone who doesn't want to travel to the AX frontlines (or just can't), you can also check for Restoration missions near you, and take note of which settlements are being targeted by these missions. These settlements will be offline and are up for grabs as the rest of the tutorial. If you grab the Restore mission, you might get scavengers, which defeats the "no combat" and the scavengers won't just quit (different from jumping out and back on when not on a mission), so keep that in mind. Usually systems in Bust and/or Infrastructure Failure are more prone to having abandoned settlements, but it isn't so cut and dry (but traveling around is half the fun anyways). Also, yes, U16 got this lighting bug (also ran into it on this specific power building and settlement layout combo too earlier today). The optimization will get us a few bugs, but the performance is getting better with almost every update. Awesome job as always, Buur!

[@robertschmitz911]

Thank you, just the tip I needed. One important info: I was just done with looting and went to the PWR centre for my power regulator when suddenly the power went OUT! And the regulator was gone! And then the scavengers dropped in and started shooting immediately. I escaped, even though I had some strange lagging problems with the scarab's throttle. But this is important: If scavengers drop in, they will steal your power regulator! So keep a spare one in your hold.

[@MarcoR_Italy]

if when you go looting you find the welcoming committee, you can use the missile launcher and blow them up without even landing. Once you've cleaned up, you get to work.

[@beaucoupzero]

worth noting that the SRV is quite a killer and can help alot in settlements assaults, great video, heading over to find a settlement, thank you!

Such an interesting way to incorporate the bgs with the npcs in game.. in battle

[@winterwolf7812]

For anyone having trouble finding the missions for the power regulators, they will show up when the system/factions state is infrastructure failure or bust. Like he said in the video, Take the mission "turn on power to the settlement" or similarly named, make sure they provide you with a power regulator then abandon the mission. You will get a 100k fine that you can pay off as well as a little decrease to rep.

[@cestparti7577]

Where does one find these missions ? I have not really done anything on foot yet so do | get these missions at the bar ? or back in the station where one gets the space ship missions ?

[@winterwolf7812]

​@@cestparti7577 The on-foot missions can be accessed on the side terminals in the main hub area where you walk around in. There separate from the regular missions you find on your ship.

@@cestparti7577 you get them from the terminals in stations. Easiest way I've found to figure out which system is offering them is by searching on inara.

[@sbgaming5006]

Good guide, thank you. You're right, there is a very steep learning curve for the ground combat/content for noobies to it. Me being in that class, I followed your guide and it worked perfectly for the first couple of drops, and then on the next attempt, scavs were waiting, so I super cruised out and back again. The colony was empty again, but shortly after powering up the settlement, some scavs landed, destroyed my SRV, and I managed to kill all of them except 2, who finally got me when I ran out of med-kits. So it's not totally danger-free. The scavs will jump in sometimes, perhaps more often than you may realise. But it's good practise, and I'm going to persist with it.

[@Wyvernaut]

This is awesome! Thanks so much for this! I got a lucky regulator find out of an SRV on another mission, so didn't have to steal one. Went to this very settlement... which also has about 7 million credits in exobio within easy SRV drive , BTW, for anyone wanting some credits as well as mats. I got scavengers both times I ran through this, maybe because I was taking a bit of time... they seem pretty easy to dispatch with the SRV, especially since they chase after it in a big long line, one at a time, like a sort of 'human twizzler' attack

[@webknows]

just found your channel. excellent content, and so calming to watch. glad to see cmdrs still putting out up-to-date guides like these. keep it up!

[@TeddyLindsell]

I’m that one guy that’s been playing elite since 2016, and Odessey since it dropped, but have literally just today started looking at on foot missions with a view to upgrading my kit…just to complicate things just a tad I’m doing it in Colonia where my main account lives, my second account is somewhere between the bubble and Sag A ..so thanks for this, really appreciated the tips. Don’t know if it’s correct or not, but so far I’m not taking missions, as I usually fail them anyway, I just pick low security bases or as you put it go allimo in occupied anarchy..not that there’s much of a selection out here . Cheers

[@cmdrgreybeardseawolf]

Excellent video, CMDR Buur, love the Brodie/Doyle style delivery of the narration and as always exactly the sort of info/tips that are really useful to players

[@barneyomulligan9739]

Thank you Buur, this is so useful. I have been struggling to get into the on-foot.

[@rexta3901]

Hi I believe I have found a way to ensure I am going to a settlement where this can be done. 1. Go to one of these systems in recovery as described in video and dcoh watch site 2. go to a nearby space station or outpost. 3. check the mission board for "power up' missions 4. note down the names of settlements these happen in. 5. Proceed as per video Note I only realized this after going to about 4 different settlements and types and not being able to access any building as anything that looked like a door was sealed shut with no access points. I was on the point of quitting at an outpost I was at for repairs of my SRV after driving it off the roof of a 4 story square box of some "mining facility" looking for a door inside (No Doors and ramps all the way to the roof btw). I checked the board and noticed these missions. I went to 1 site and found the command and STO buildings I couldn't find the power building but at least id found somewhere with places I could enter. I am about to give it another shot now. I don't know if this will help other on foot noobs like myself as google was no help in figuring out what places are likely useful and which are places with various geometric boxes with no visible purpose when in systems with multiple settlements.

[@The_Norse_Hunk]

Just started Odyssey content. Amen to the first part. Thank God I found your video, thank you!!!

[@paulchaisson8301]

@@The_Norse_Hunk Still viable, then?

[@The_Norse_Hunk]

@@paulchaisson8301 I did several of these the way explained and all the loot was empty. So, this doesn't work anymore. I think FDEV watches these videos and nerfs them. I think it may be tied to the mission power source. When you abandon it, it may flag for empty base loot.

[@captainyossarian388]

Great vid, much appreciated. Just started to work on suit/weapon upgrades. Have already cleaned out a few settlements. On one of the settlements, pirate soldiers dropped in as I was leaving, and on another I had to fight off three waves of pirate soldiers. It's a real shame they didn't implement full VR for first person space legs, these settlements would feel so much more real.

[@captainyossarian388]

If the settlement is small, like two buildings, I don't get scavengers show up. If it's larger than that, scavengers will show up once I disable the power at the end. I stow my SRV before that and when I power down, I hit the suit shield and motor back to the ship, then engage my ship's missile launcher and kill them all.

[@captainyossarian388]

After doing quite a few of these, wouldn't it be easier to take an ax settlement reactivation mission from an active station/base in the system? That way you usually get the regulator and the level 3 authorization to get access to everything, plus the mats reward. You just need to disable the alarms in order to collect any illegal downloads.

[@streyafromspace]

"You do know, but you never know" about sums up my view too: why not be prepared? 😁 Great video!

[@TheBuurPit]

.... And there might be facehuggers.

[@WolfDarkrose]

this also will work after the week is up with those systems since if im right some of those settlements will be setupo to need to be powered up by players and alllllso if you use an srv in tyhe base you can use it as a moblie drop off spot that goes to your whole inventory. its noice .

[@dageekgamer4685]

I must be doing something wrong. Tried to get to a settlement and was interdicted and destroyed by Thargoids. Shrugged and tried again. Same result. Not all that familiar with the routing on the Galactic map as this is only my second week of really playing. (Obsessively) I will look for some sort of routing around contested systems, I just haven't gotten around to it yet. Oh and the tip about supercruise and empty lockers explained a lot. I've had several settlements be completely empty when I went through a restore mission. After reading the comments I realized I'd reloaded after a confrontation with scavengers went badly without actually leaving the settlement. Thanks for the tutorials!

[@eoinsmall227]

Thank you, never thought of using an ebreach on a deserted settlement without getting a level 3 access. Will try it when doing scavenger kill missions.

[@CMRonin]

Im so glad there's still an active community for this game, albeit a small one

[@sgoalder]

Thanks for the video. Tips to enhance looting er…. collecting materials is always helpful. My weapons of choice are the intimidator and tormentor.

[@sprucedude]

Just tried this, took forever to find a power converter. After checking what seemed like 10 settlements I finally found the right mission. Was excited to find my first settlement, while uploading the power converter I got a fine for obstructing the landing pad, after a few moments I got a notification that my ship was under attack! No idea what was happening, by the time I finished fighting with the SRV to get back to my ship it exploded. Fun times.

[@RedRox0807]

Buur, Freakin awesome info .. Thanks heaps for the heads-up for us newbies.. Just hope things don't change that much after the launch of Ascendancy tomorrow.. :)

[@moviefan8939]

In those places there are usually some locked containers. They could be e-breached, but from my point of view it is better to e-breach one of the large terminals. Then you can see (and write down on paper) the 4-digit codes of all the containers (under facility). You could also write down the numbers for the lockers, but I find that too cumbersome. For me the codes did not change when I came to the place the next time (from supercruise). So I only needed to hack the terminal once, as I could use the codes I had written down over and over again.

[@Tallisar]

or you could just use the arc-cutter

[@grumpybearproductions8446]

I have been gathering mats in both these 'recovery system settlements ' and going to reactivation settlements - without taking the mission , and I have found that at both of these types of site if you loiter for too long then drop ships will arrive and deposit some mercs / scavengers for you to play with :)

[@TheKnightArch]

It's the perfect illumination, it has been an issue since the alpha. Closing the ticket on the issue tracker regarding the illumination was not the right decision by frontier. This bright and dark issues is common, unfortunately.

[@smoothcannibal5371]

If you check the mission boards for restoration missions, a lot of times, you can get several on the same planet and many have material rewards. You get level 3 access and a power regulator which saves quite a bit of time hunting around for access and no alarms, etc to worry about. Can save quite a bit of time if you stay in the srv and just target the enemies in turret mode from a safe distance. Fish in a barrel just remeber to keep moving. I've found dividing all pips between systems and weapons to be best unless I need to escape. Only killed twice doing it this way. Since in the srv (bring at least one spare) you spawn close by where you got in trouble instead of having to jump back in from another system.

[@benlee8225]

and if they are in open tokyo drift into them

[@ranualfhunter1869]

remember that a extra back pack is very handy, or park the srv close to unload and restock e breach, also the settlement type will determine the data collected, overall it is like a normal reset mission, but good info

[@solosailorsv8065]

"A couple of rounds..." IF you have top gear.... first few level weapons a whole clip in the face isn't enough. Also seems there is no "Head-shot Multiplier" as listed in the specs. Pros aim at the center it seems

[@yukarikos5949]

Check status of target settlements before picking up ax reboot missions for lv3 clearance and rare mats. When the progress of recovery passes a certain point most of the reboot missions will lead to powered settlements which means 100k fine for a power regulator.

This is great. Just what I’ve been looking for.

[@virtualcolditz]

Excellent video and especially for a complete and TOTAL newbie like me, at least in regards to on-foot stuff. I have two questions, and I appreciate that these may have been answered in other videos since this one. 1) Now that the Thargoid messing about is over with, and especially since I am not in the Bubble but instead over in Colonia, what method would you recommend for finding suitable settlements like this abandoned one you have used here? 2) You didn't explain what that handset thing was that opened the doors for you. You used the laser cutter to remove the panel, fine; however what is the pistol-grip thing that you used to actually unlock the doors? Thanks in advance

[@freekeess9245]

[@DownslideWI]

Just tried this - I realize there are only about a dozen systems in recovery, so I just picket the second system on the list. Picked the closest Extraction settlement, drove up to the power building, got out, and 2 DBX's popped in and dropped a dozen bad guys. SRV got stuck on a lamp post, and I got blowed up. LOL

[@tspencer227]

I've been trying this for a few days now, and every single time I get to a settlement, there's either scavengers there, or they show up while I'm inside. And I'm getting absolutely wasted every single time before I can even kill a single bad guy.

[@Kuldirongaze1]

Same here. I'm going to try and "visit" these sites without a mission to see if that helps reduce spawns.

[@JAY-fq7sb]

Attempted Settlement reset twice. I do not think it works like that any longer. Both times the Power station can be hacked and powered. The only problem is. NO LOOT! The loot does not respawn. 😔

[@JAY-fq7sb]

I found something weird in later gameplay. The first place had a combat zone. The next place didn't. When I did the reset attempt just trying to see. I let my ship travel in super cruise mode for about 3 to 4 seconds instead of immediately shutting it down. It WORKED. The settlement reset and all the loot was different. I think the 'combat zone' had something to do with the reset glitch I experienced. I have not found another place with a combat zone to retry this theory. Just want to clarify the situation I was having and what happened after I posted this comment. Seems it could have to do with the status of the compound, possibly, maybe. Need to verify it before I am sure though. 👍🤔

[@gamingsnipsandbits]

Never thought of doing it this way, great shout. The next ship review I work on might end up having a lot of ground based ship footage now, as I really need to get my mats up, so might as well kill two birds with one stone 👍. Thanks and o7

[@garynevills5562]

I realize I'm a bit late to the party, seeing as this video is a year old and I'm just now getting into on foot content, is there any place for suit materials like Dav's Hope is for ship materials? I ask because the types of settlements referenced in the above video probably won't be around much longer. Also, it points out in the tutorial for on foot content in the game that the power regulator from a scarab srv will re-power a settlement reactor. I tried taking one from a settlement for use in the next one, and it disappeared from my inventory as soon as I left. Honestly, is there any reason upgrading and engineering your suit and weapons is so much more time consuming and annoying than doing the same for your ship?

[@karlculleton885]

Been to five differant systems and odyssey settlements today and this appears to no longer work as all crates and lockers are empty.

[@joeschmalhofer6109]

All my suits and weapons are grade 5 with full engineering. I found it faster to gather the stuff needed to unlock the Colonia engineers then travel out there to get the engineering done. I wasted 7 months trying to unlock all the bubble engineers and I discovered I needed 1 item that's nearly impossible to get without doing illegal activity.

[@dwsnz]

I always dismiss the ship after disembarking in the SRV. Just to be safe - a few times I have missed the tiny on screen notification that my ship has come under attack from arriving pirates.

There is a new filter for Features. What should this be set to? And I am assuming since we just rolled the clock that more settlements will be in progress completion as the week moves on? There are only a couple right now.

[@TyberiousMaximus]

Dont if its a new addition, but this is the first day after the patch. Each settlement I go too has resistance, one didnt have initially but while i was in, they spawned and took out my srv and almost my ship /sigh. Not certain of the advantage of traveling to find these in recovery settlement if they have just as much resistance as any normal settlement. Perhaps it was changed after the update, perhaps just blind luck. But I've tried 4 and 4 all have resistance at least for my adventure. Im coming back after 2 years to see if my over priced purchase of all the ED updates was worth anything.. Sadly looking like same ol jump 500 times/loading screens, everything is OP versus you (esp if you are new). The engineering garbage truck is still in full disenjoyment within the game. Mmm losing interest at day 1. Back to X4: Foundations, Star Citizen, and some indie survival titles I guess until Ashes of Creation.

[@TobiContinued]

Just tried this today. No nightvision yet, so I went in there nearly blind at night. Messages of AX Pilots, nothing special, so I thought, it was no one there. Then my SRV got destroyed and before I reached the exit of the building I was in my ship got destroyed. Took all these guys with me at least. Don't know where they came from. AX Pilots. Dammit! What are you meant to do, when your ship got destroyed? Is there anything you could do? Will try again tomorrow 😅

If your ship gets destroyed on foot get 400 or 500 meters away from the settlement then hold Q to bring up the suit menu then go through it and call in an Apex shuttle to go back to a station.

@@catherder6552 Thanks! That should help me out the next time.

[@catyph81]

What do they say, "possession is 5/6th's of the law"?

[@Spudd66]

Is this dependant on settlement type as I went to two settlements that were less than 10% complete but there wasn’t a single item to loot in any locker just a couple of ammo boxes and some med packs ?

[@OMentertainment]

The literal easiest way I have found to take dudes out in a settlement is with a class 2 or 3 dumb fire missile on a vulture so you can get super close. Alternatively, you could put a laser on the other side if you want to practice your aiming 😉

[@ChristopherSCox]

Have visited 3 different sites from multiple systems each with over 1 week remaining in the appropriate states and all zero loot. Can anyone please confirm if this is still a thing or if there is some additional pertinent information for sourcing systems/settlements?

[@Kuldirongaze1]

Yup, no loot for me. Sad. I feel these "scavengers" are severely overturned. Please give me only 1-3 scavengers in starting gear. I'm always up against 10-20 in upgraded gear and it's always, ALWAYS plasma weapons which 2 shot me.

And there was an opinion poll in the CMD date port.

[@mikesmith123]

Thanks for the video. The thing is that my fps drops under 20 when I land on a settlement 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@papabrou]

Temporarily or it stays at 20? I have a 4 years old RTX2070 and I have no problems with setting the graphics to Ultra... have you tried turning the graphics down a bit or you're just running elite on a potato computer? :(

[@mikesmith123]

It's temporarily, specially when there are a lot of NPC's or drones arround me. My one and only gaming "machine" is the Steam Deck =) No issues for exploring only settlements seems not working for me.

[@Datan0de]

If i had 100 credits for every time I've forgotten to grab the power regulator on my way out the door is have a second fleet carrier. 😂

[@ThePresidentofMars]

what are the chances these abandoned sites still exist?

[@OmegaPaladin144]

One thing I noticed - I maxed out everything much faster than data. Data is a real bottleneck, especially since you can't trade for it at the bartender.

[@yamahamadness13]

what happens when there isnt anything too loot ?

[@scottyalto]

I keep getting my ship blown up by magic spawning enemies while I'm inside.

[@spherelance72]

And don't forget you can always run scavengers over with a SRV or even more fun nose bump them with your ship

[@moviefan8939]

A great video from my point of view. However there is one major issue for me. All lockers/crates I found were empty. I tried 3 different locations (I think there were: Hou Biological Centre, Chen Biochemical Centre, Ponce Excavation Platform) in 2 different systems currently in Recovery (HIP 19781 and HIP 20741) with more than 1 week to go. So my question is, did I do something wrong or is this patched?

[@TheBuurPit]

Make sure you don't login at the site... You have to enter from supercruise otherwise the game empties the lockers

[@moviefan8939]

That did indeed solve it. I was so happy to be able to have looted the place, that i forgot the Power Regulator. So had to "organise" another one.
