How to Beat the Vanguard Simulator in Starfield! How to Hack the Simulator!

In this video we explain how to hack the simulator to help you beat level 5 and more!

[@ShadowcoastGaming]

IMPORTANT TIPS: You can bypass or skip hacking the debug tool by using the Simulator Admin System Keycard found under one of the simulators (kzbin.info/www/bejne/qny0lqmYrMusbbc). Also, you can change your difficulty to very easy to make the fight much easier!

[@graven6102]

This feels like they didnt even try to balance ship fights properly. As soon as you reach lvl 5 on Very Hard, you get completely shereded to pieces no matter what. I leveled up all ships skills just for this and still got destroyed easily.

[@jaroldscottwilliams.3rd832]

You didn't beat level 5?

[@graven6102]

@@jaroldscottwilliams.3rd832 I did, after i lowered difficulty xD

@@graven6102 Ah, you were on hard mode. That makes more sense. I was like... how are they getting shredded instantly on level 5.

[@graven6102]

@@jaroldscottwilliams.3rd832 Yeah on very hard and it really is impossible on this difficulty, as soon as fight starts they tear you into pieces xD

For extra help, I had already switched to very easy just to get my first run done. I got to tier 5 on normal but I didn't know how to access the debug. After this vid, I did 6 easily with the two allies. Thanks for the vid

[@ShadowcoastGaming]

Glad I could help!

[@gatorpika]

Tier 6 is a bitch without the hax. Got through 5 a few times but never 6. You need to use thrusters to create distance between you and the other ships. If you fly around in the middle of them all you will get your ass hended to you.

[@pdraggy]

Yeah having trouble with the 5th wave as well! Didn't know about the hacking, thought you were just always locked out of that part, great find!

[@Luvilli]

Theres a key kard on a table by a technician down in the area below the flight simulators which allows access without hacking

[@ShadowcoastGaming]

NOTE: You can make the fights easier by temporarily changing difficulty to Very Easy in your settings > gameplay options!

[@JosephAngley-lz1gs]

I’m assuming you had it on east because you were taking out ships way too fast. I had the upgrades and 2 Allie’s and it was not even close to as easy as it looked in this video stage 4.

[@JosephAngley-lz1gs]

Even with 2 Allies, they still all target me. I’m your video they don’t even target you. There’s no way you have it set to normal.

[@ShadowcoastGaming]

@@JosephAngley-lz1gs for this video it is on normal but recommend you put it on very easy just to get past tier 6!

[@ComebackGAWD]

@@JosephAngley-lz1gsI did it in normal difficulty, I just stayed close to the ships and attacked what they did. Keep them alive is key which takes some intentional flying

[@MewmewGrrl]

It's understandable to use the in-game, in-character hacking function they made, if your character is shady and hacking and stealing are parts of their morals. But changing the actual difficulty of the game briefly seems cheesy and would greatly diminish feelings of accomplishment. Why don't you want to come back later with higher tiered ship skills if you really need to overcome that, or accept what score you can muster on the difficulty you're playing on since you're not required to beat every stage? It's your choice in a single player game, but I'm just curious why?

[@ComebackGAWD]

I pretty much did what you did but I waited til level 5 before I used any debugging. Did it on normal

[@user-on6mf7ho3h]

Still can't get passed tier 6 even with this 😢😢

[@ShadowcoastGaming]

Change difficulty to very easy just for simulator! That should help!

[@user-on6mf7ho3h]

@@ShadowcoastGaming will try that thanks on normal difficultty

[@ShadowcoastGaming]

@@user-on6mf7ho3h best to set to very easy just to get pats tier 6 then change back difficulty!

[@stuntmc17]

Hey, one thing to note: Once the allies are killed, they won't spawn again, even after restarting the battle from the console, which it makes nearly impossible to beat the higher tears (the enemies will shoot at you basically all at once, without any other target to focus on). Therefore, I strongly recommend waiting till tear 4 or even 5 before you deploy both allies.Then, quicksave when you are seated again to begin the final battle. This way, you have two allies with you. Then take the first enemies down really fast before they kill your allies, so you have the chance to beat them all. This is how I did it. Good luck.

[@stuntmc17]

Basically, no need to change difficulty. Once you realize that you don't have any allies with you when they get killled the first time, then it's obvious that you need to deploy them at the end and save before starting the final battle. Then, it's pretty quick.

[@shardless4311]

Did not know this was possible tyvm

[@ShadowcoastGaming]

Glad I could help!

[@Evernight2020]

Theres a key card under the simulator on a table that lets you bypass the lock entirely

[@paulfredstone6290]

Where is this as I suck at picking. Thanks

[@Evernight2020]

@@paulfredstone6290 From the outside of the simulator door, there are stairs going down. Go down the stairs and you should be able to see the under side of the simulator with a bunch of posts holding it up. In the back left corner, there's what I believe was a tool chest or cabinet of some sort. On top of that will be an administrative key card that lets you bypass the debug lock. You can just grab it as it won't count as stealing anything.

[@usafirefly7967]

Didn't know this even existed on this simulator

[@ShadowcoastGaming]

Yup!

[@xyales738]

Tbh you don't really need this if you play on very hard. No matter what you do you will still die

[@Luvilli]

It's possible to do it but time consuming as I ended up 82km from where the ships spawned after beating tier 5.

[@wordonice4457]

Nah, either a patch came through or we're playing different versions of this game. I did the hack and changed my difficulty to very easy. Literally zero allys spurn to fight with me on tier 6. It's always a fucking bloodbath - me versus like 6 ships. Can't count cos there's too many of them.

[@ShadowcoastGaming]

Good to know.... will have to save my chars that got to tier 6 though honestly it has very little impact long term if you become a vanguard!

[@LordFarquaadismyEternalOpps]

Higher sign on bonus and orestige of being the very best. Idk I didn't finish the final level either. Though I dropped two of them. I should've put it in very easy. 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@ShadowcoastGaming]

Ya honestly doesn't make a big difference if you play out the UC Vanguard questline so...@@LordFarquaadismyEternalOpps

[@Kodasa_Sinclair]

Honestly, didn't have piloting at all, nor security, managed to beat tier 6 just by knowing about the debug tools being an option, tyvm.

[@aaronjackson3067]

I can't get out of my seat at all during the simulation

Hm are you holding down E/exit button? Have to hold it for a few seconds!

Honestly I'm not sure, I know controller options are weird in combat but there should be a way to exit I just don't know which button it is, sorry!@@aaronjackson3067

[@MewmewGrrl]

Of course, this all depends on how you're role playing it. Imagine cheating on a real test to see where you place, so then you're thought to be this super fighting ace and sent on the most difficult and deadly missions, far above your real abilities, because you cheated. It's perfectly acceptable to just see what you can do and turn in your real score. My character is honest and doesn't cheat or steal, nor pick up contraband, no matter how tempting it looks. Though it does seem weird to just leave contraband there for anybody to pick up, but they didn't make an option to collect and turn it in somewhere.

[@MrWongWey]

Cool flex bro

[@Ssecave]

after 40min trying to do it. The 2 AI don't do sh*t to help you, the 5 ennemies just shoot you at the same time. what a shitty mission. Stop after beating lvl 5. Not gonna continue (for nothing) :p.

[@ShadowcoastGaming]

Ya, you truly only need to get past level 3 if you play out the vanguard mission!

I know ! I'm already on NG+ 1 xD Just salty about that thing tho haha.@@ShadowcoastGaming

Nice find! I missed that hack option , though i did beat the simulation alone with ease.

Ha ya, well if you join the UC Vanguard it doesn't really matter what tier you beat as long as you get past tier 3! The quest line accelerates things!
