So it came to our attention recently that at least a couple of fairly experienced commanders that we know in the community had no idea whatsoever that you can buy pre-upgraded odyssey suits and weapons off the shelf up to at least grade 3 and some of the gear even has pre-engineered modifications already on it. The gear is of such a level in fact that using it immediately makes the first person shooter parts of odyssey eminently more accessible. You don't need anything special to get this stuff, there are no in-game requirements, you just need to buy it with credits in the game. So what is this stuff and where do you find it? Well odyssey has a system whereby pre-upgraded and sometimes pre-engineered suits and weapons can spawn at any of the regular pioneer supplies vendors that you find on starport concourses. When an item spawns there is only one of them available and once a commander buys it it's gone. Items of grade 2 are actually fairly common, items of grade 3 are a somewhat rarer commodity and pre-engineered items are rarer again but they are available and it appears that they can spawn just about anywhere. As far as we're aware no items higher than grade 3 have ever been discovered but if you know different let us know in the comments below. The pre-upgraded items are so numerous in fact that with just a little patience I've been able to outfit my main account almost completely with at least one of everything most of it being grade 3 gear. Finding the equipment is also fairly easy as well as the ever resourceful Elite Dangerous Community crowd sources information about available suits and weapons and makes it available on the official Elite Dangerous forums by way of the great pre-upgraded gear sharing is caring thread you'll find a link to that below. The mega thread was started by Stealthboy whose videos we've featured on this channel before and at the time of recording it's up to over 400 pages but fear not you don't need to read the whole thread just the first post and the last page or two should be fine to get you started. You don't have to wait for the thread to update of course you can just find it yourself it's always worth swinging into pioneer supplies if you're in a star port just in case either way the absolute best time to go hunting for new gear is right after a server restart as best we can tell the galaxy is repopulated with the randomly spawning gear when frontiers servers first start up so Thursdays in particular after the regular weekly server bounce is a prime hunting time and if you find something that you don't need maybe share it in Stealthboy's mega thread for someone else to pick up so do you own any pre-upgraded gear already what's the best bit of pre-upgraded gear you own and have you ever seen anything better than grade three let us know in the comments below that's it for now thanks very much for watching if you enjoyed this video consider subscribing to the channel and maybe take a look at one of our other videos linked on screen right now
