First, great video very well made and full of details. However 500k per hour is impossible doing bunker missions because of math. you would need to do 5 rank 5 mission with a 90k payout plus the call to arms bonus. This mission come with 4 x 1 minute timer. so you are now down to 8 minutes to clear 30 enemies, get out and fly out, get the next mission and fly to the next destination. Even by starting your timer at the start of your very first bunker mission, numbers don't add up. I still think they are a great source of income but 500K/hour is impossible. Realistically, even pushing 3 rank 5 mission in 1 hour is a stretch and that would only net you about 300K

If you are nervous about doing FPS combat you can camp behind the boxes at the 1st right turn into the main bunker area once you've come off the elevator.. Pick off the bad guys one by one. Sometimes when you are down to the last 2 or 3 they get UI markers to let you know where they are but dont count on it.. Appears only maybe 25% of the time for me.

These missions are still my primary source of making aUEC in SC ever since I watched one of ur videos a few years ago about them, I normally base around Arc Corp but since 3.19.1 I moved to Microtech just for a different view and also because Port Tressler has a weapon/armor shop to sell the loot that u can get from bunkers without having to travel to another station/planet that has a shop.

Cool content. I use the P4-AR for bunkers and just take the ammo from dead Nine tails, save's time on restock if your grinding. The hostile turret bunkers have the grey/yellow silos out side. I also fly a cutty red to recharge food/water and heal any damage, you can fit a grey cat in the back in case you need to park away from hostile turrets. Have fun in the verse

tried my first bunker mission yestarday, killed all of the bad guys until there was 1 left. I shot the last guy 20 times with no hit indicators and he shot me once and i died, pretty solid game so far

The sad truth about this game is that this is probably one of the best ways to earn money.

I grinded to level 4 which pays 60 - 65k per mission.

However this gets boring after a few weeks, so I switched to mining, buying a prospector and a Hull A for transporting minerals to trade centres.

Solo mining is not great it gets boring after a few weeks so I tried cargo hauling.

Game crashes, bugs and glitches not to mention pirates put paid to that.

I thought I would try normal missions at a lot less money, but these are so buggy that if you csn find the objectives it's a miracle.

So back to bunker missions....

[vkuvaev]

I'm back to SC after half a year and I can now occasionally find minerals lying around in bunkers. The best I had so far is 5 crates of aphorite worth around 100k aUEC, which was a nice sizable bonus to the mission payout.

I think the kareah clearance is tied to >50% affinity with crusader security, as opposed to tier 4/5 rep. I.e. if the green bar at the top is halfway full then they'll let you approach the station.

Be careful what type of mission you select. In 3.22.1 there are some "steal the files" missions that, I'm told, have infinitely spawning enemies, so you never have time to loot. In addition to a med pen, being a med gun and learn how to use it. If they get in a lucky shot and you cop a level 1-3 injury in your arm, you can't shoot NOR can you fly your ship/buggy. Only option then, is to commit suicide or send up a rescue beacon. But of course, you can't be rescued if the exterior turrets are active. But even then, as I understand it, a med gun won't fix a level 2-3 injury, you need a hospital.

I do the drug mission when I feel like punching Boxes and chillin. The remove occupants bunkers are one of my faves (no security to shoot) but no chance of my most liked Ark Corp armor (when doing the missions in the Ark Corp system).

I've tried so many bunker missions since I started a few weeks ago but until now have not finished a single one. They are broken AF. Can never actually clear anything with npcs inside the walls and teleporting behind the scenes unshootable.

[mattsully]

I am far better at these missions than I am at space combat, so spend more time on them. Really need to suck it up and unlock the rank 5 missions. I spend more time near Hurston, because I like that their armor matches well with my 350r, but want to do more around crusader.

[thelitchfieldexperiment]

Bunkers take a while to rotate, bit the fact that you can solo a bunker and make 100, 000 every 10 minutes, is cool. I wish I could reliably make that kind of money from beacons. They're my favorite game play loop.

[aaronhammond]

These bunker missions are great, love being a loot goblin and throwing the bodies off my ship in orbit hehe 😜

[anidonticgaming]

I’ve shot security a few times but now I just ignore enemies if they are near security and risky and just move to a target that is easy to kill without hitting security

[maxthibodeau]

i can never get these missions to generate.

[mominth]

I stack them back to back and clear 240, 000 plus the call to arms

[manson_]

The real guide I need is how to finish a bunker mission without my gun bugging out the first time I try to use a med pen lol

[shawnc]

Northrock has bunkers missions - ?RT missions under bounty hunter. If you want to loot, take heavy armour helmets and chest pieces (worth 1.1k each) while P4-ARs can be sold at Arc-L1 for 2K.
