Since the Odyssey expansion introduced on-foot gameplay, some commanders report significant challenges with combat missions. One player on r/EliteDangerous shared frustration despite using a grade 3 dominant suit and weapons, finding scavenger encounters particularly tough. Efforts to improve performance through material grinding and deploying the Scorpion vehicle fell short due to turret inaccuracy and limited effectiveness. These difficulties highlight ongoing balance issues in on-foot mechanics that could affect player satisfaction and retention within Odyssey content.
- Grade 3 suits and weapons still struggle against scavenger enemies.
- Scorpion vehicle turrets reported as inaccurate and ineffective.
