hello it's Ricardo and welcome back to Elite dangerous it seems to be all about
caustic tissue samples these days how to survive inside the maelstroms well it's
ironic that to survive inside a Maelstrom and to collect the materials that you need to get
the new caustic sinks you have to survive inside a maelstrom let's take a look and find out how
thank you
are the maelstroms they've kind of just been there since their arrival around update 14.
they were a long time coming and as soon as commanders went in there they finally realized
that they're going to need a little bit of engineering to survive in this hostile environment
the caustic generators would ooze their caustic Mist Here There and Everywhere and you could get
worried by a thyroid but there are bounties to collect and very shortly there was a reason to
collect these caustic materials inside the maelstroms in particular one of these is
Caustic tissues and caustic tissues are one of the ingredients you need for a caustic sync something
that's going to eat up all that caustic damage as you Traverse inside this thyroid maelstrom
our recent Community goal was run by Frontier whether to hand in combat bonds or deliver
materials to a particular mega ship would unlock acoustic sync launcher these caustic
sync launchers will absorb all the caustic material and expand their ammunition over time
you are going to be rewarded one if you met certain criteria uh top 50 and top 25
depending on what tier you had if however you weren't spending your entire life in front of
elite dangerous and doing something else instead then you're gonna have to go out and go through
the process of unlocking it within the game fortunately it's not that difficult but you
do need some materials these materials are as follows you'll need 15 chemical storage units
10 galvanizing Alloys 20 caustic shards 10 corrosive mechanisms and five caustic tissue
samples now it's the caustic tissue samples is what we're concerned with in this video for any
commander who has ventured into the maelstroms by shooting the caustic generators you are going
to get the shards and the corrosive mechanisms the caustic tissue samples however do require
you to give those caustic generators a little bit of an Emina and for that it's a little bit of a
process for this process I'm going to be using my anaconda I've got it tricked up it's got all the
hull reinforcements on it because this corrosive substance is going to eat into your Hull I've also
got a multi-limpit controller so I can collect I can Recon I can research I can do whatever I want
to do but more importantly I can decontaminate and repair my ship whilst I'm in the Maelstrom
now at the time of making this video I was able to get myself over to the Altair system where the
rescue ship there was able to supply me with caustic sinks all right um you'll find them
sync section of outfitting so no dramas there so once you go and go through the unlock process
but you've obviously got all your materials which we'll come on to in a minute you can see you can
go to the tech broker the tech broker will say well you know I've got anti-corrosion cargo racks
and whatever else and here is the caustic sync launcher and here are the requirements as you
can see I'm off to get my caustic tissue samples so corrosive mechanisms caustic
shards or the Malarkey they also do alloy Hull reinforcements but they're not that good to be
perfectly honest with you I thought they would be better at staving off you know caustic resistance
and of course you've got an E4 anti-corrosion cargo rack as well so without further more to do
um we've discussed the ship we've discussed what they are what they do and all the rest of it now
let's go and get these caustic tissue samples which is basically the name of the game isn't it
so here I am in my friendly neighborhood Maelstrom um I finally got there got interdicted about eight
or nine times so once I got to the edge of the Maelstrom I started to repair the ship uh and
get the hull back up you know the way I could weather a bit of the storm so to speak I've
then focused on one or two of the outer lying caustic generators and uh this is where the fun
begins really because you really got to keep your wits about you I have found by instigating Silent
Running and then using and popping my heat sinks getting nice and close giving it a good scan with
the Xeno scanner having a collector Limpet just in case floating around and repairing the ship
from all the caustic damage that I'm incurring is the best method of doing so to be honest with
you it's tricky it took me several goals and quite a few returns to the rebuy screen I don't
mind telling you but then around about the third sample I tend to get half The Knack of doing it
running nice and cold be aware of when the caustic generator is going to ooze its caustic gust
um of caustic damage it'll start to Glow green so make sure you're on the other end of the caustic
generator make sure you've got some good upgraded thrusters as well smaller ships are probably more
apt to this as opposed to the Anaconda I found but either way I was more successful
in the Anaconda because it would forward me a bigger amount of Hull points uh from the
caustic damage the multi limpic controller indeed was an absolute must it really was I
mean I don't know what I would have done without that and of course with the class 7 you've got
decontamination you've got repair and you've got the collector and the Recon and research Olympics
so to recap you approach acoustic generator nice and cold it would help if you had a cold ship
um say power generators with clean low emissions thrusters clean burn that sort of stuff that
would certainly help scan it with your enhanced Xeno scanner get your research limpets out belt
Olympic controller wire one of those off Retreat a bit okay and try not to get blown up or get too
close if you do get too close to this you will get a little bit of damage when the caustic generator
explodes and the reason for that really is is that you basically got too close and you've worried it
but if you've already got a research Limpet in play it will still collect the tissue sample
you'll just get spun out of range be able to go back in get a collector Limpet that'll go
and collect the the sample and all will not be asked in all I found this to be I wouldn't say
on the edge of things this is perhaps one of the more difficult things I've had to
do in Elite dangerous for a long time and it required a slightly different skill set and a
ship that is not only tanked up but also ran nice and cool be wary of the caustic damage
because hey caustic damage is the silent killer it will eat you away but before long
you'll get your five tissue samples and you'll be in business don't forget if you need the other
materials like the shards and mechanisms then make sure you're packing some weapons
because those weapons just shoot just shoot those caustic generators from a distance and then send
your collector limpets off to go and get those materials as well I've got a video on that on my
channel and I'll link it in the description and also put a link up in the top right hand corner
so I got myself over to the bless system and the rescue Ship kiss Heath
this was the closest one to the particular well strong for I was harvesting and that's a good
word harvesting straight in as I mentioned is a tech broker it's a one-time unlock for
the caustic sink uh the tech broker there Garrett Stafford he's got anti-corrosion cargo racks hell
reinforcements that's the caustic sink there's my caustic tissue samples of which I've got five I've
got my mechanisms I've got my caustic shards galvanizing Alloys and chemical storage units
with that you unlock it and then once you unlock it you can buy any additional Bostic sinks with
good old-fashioned Hard Cash the credit job done so like I say it was a bit of a process it wasn't
an easy thing um it took a little bit of time and a little bit of a grind but I have them now
so I'm now free that won't I suppose update 15 hits the end of April 2023 um I'll be free to
roam the maelstroms see whatever that Tails as well thanks very much for watching anyway
um caustic tissues and caustic sinks how to get them Ivy Ricardo thanks for watching see you soon
