In the vast universe of Star Citizen, not every adventure has to be about intense firefights or high-stakes missions. If you find yourself in the Pyro system and want to enjoy a peaceful expedition on the picturesque planet "Bloom," listening to some music while happily playing the role of a "scavenging goblin" and hunting for rare loot, then you're in the right place. This guide explores three secluded abandoned outposts on the planet. Not only are they excellent vantage points for sightseeing, but they also have the chance to spawn "Justice" and "Rectitude" series armor, along with other rare items. Since these locations aren't directly marked on the star map and can only be discovered by visiting the planet, player traffic is typically very low, making them perfect for solo exploration.
Preparation Before Departure
After arriving in orbit around "Bloom," it is highly recommended to head to the "Obituary" space station first. Be sure to set your respawn point at the station's medical facility. As RecklessOC has mentioned in previous videos, even a simple vaulting maneuver in this game can lead to an unexpected character death. Therefore, it's always better to be prepared. Setting your respawn point here or using it as a safe logout location ensures a quick return in case of any unforeseen issues with your ship.
Secret to Locating the Three Abandoned Outposts
Once you've landed on the surface of "Bloom," you can quickly identify and locate the three target outposts by counting the number of nearby quantum travel markers:
• Abandoned Outpost One: Located near 1 quantum marker.
• Abandoned Outpost Two: Situated right beside 2 quantum markers.
• Abandoned Outpost Three: Surrounded by a cluster of 3 quantum markers.
It is advised to start your exploration at Outpost Three. It not only offers stunning scenery but also serves as an excellent starting point for understanding the scavenging patterns.
Detailed Breakdown of Core Scavenging Spots
No matter which outpost you visit, your primary targets will be specific types of loot crates. Be sure to bring a Multi-Tool equipped with a Tractor Beam attachment. This will not only help you move obstacles but can also assist with climbing in certain situations.
Key Loot Crate Types:
• Dirty White Loot Crates: Primarily yield Multi-Tools, various consumables (food, drinks), and harvestables. For example, during the 4.6 "Help Leski" event, you might find valuable Takara Pods inside.
• Equipment Crates (Gray/Green): These are your top priority. They can spawn complete armor sets, from helmets and core armor to leg and arm armor. There's a chance to find "Rectitude" and "Justice" series armor, as well as various executive-level items here.
• Hidden Loot Spots: Pay attention to corners blocked by planks or cargo crates. Use the tractor beam to move them aside, as surprises often lurk behind.
Practical Loot from Outpost Three:
At Outpost Three, check the equipment crate on a raised platform; a Medium Core "Justice" armor was found here, of quite decent quality. In the comms office area, after some climbing, a gilded "Phantom" Multi-Tool was discovered inside a dirty white crate—a true collector's item. Additionally, items like the Odyssey Executive Lower Torso armor were also obtained.
Scenic Views and Treasure Troves
1. Outpost Two
This outpost is perched on a mountaintop with an exceptional view. You can overlook the distant desert-like plains and scattered water pools. Visiting during specific times (like sunset) makes it an absolute prime spot for screenshot souvenirs. Loot-wise, an ADP Modified Arm Armor (Xenothreat V2 Paint), the uniquely styled "Traitor" tactical helmet, and Medium "Rectitude" arm armor were found in equipment crates here—a very rewarding haul.
2. Outpost One
The terrain here has its own unique flavor, blending desert plains with sporadic water pools. At sunset, the reflection of the evening sun on the water is mesmerizing, and the atmosphere can easily remind one of "Cutter's Drill Platform" on Hurston in the Stanton system. During exploration, be extra vigilant for cargo containers and wooden pallets that can be moved with the tractor beam. Equipment crates are often hidden behind them. Patiently checking every nook and cranny ensures you don't miss any treasures.
Summary
This tranquil expedition to "Bloom" is not only a visual treat but also an efficient way to accumulate resources. By targeting specific loot crates, you have the chance to directly acquire valuable, rare armor and items, saving you the hassle of competing in player-heavy areas or obtaining them through complex missions. These rare gears and executive items hold significant use and collectible value and can also be traded among players for substantial Star Citizen aUEC, providing stable financial support for your spacefaring career.
In short, if you're tired of the hustle and bustle and want to explore a breathtaking, low-competition location while casually building your wealth, these three abandoned outposts on "Bloom" are undoubtedly the perfect choice.
