Special Defector LBV Mission with Only Longblade and Visitor

[Soul_100]

can't get past this mission, enemy in group of 6

5 have have shields and heat signature; holding a cussion hand gun
1 has teleportation and heat signiture; holding a cunssion shotgun

I tried lure one of the shield and heat signature out alone, teleport behind them, but each time I do that, they know where I teleport to and shoot be straight away with out saying "intruder"

any tips to one kill them each one at a time?

Just wait for them to start wandering around on their own?

protein is right and use a crashbeam and a silent weapon (i prefer concussion hammers cause you can hit 2-3 times before they get agressive ^^) . try to keep 2 rooms away from the group to not alert them.

He's doing a defector mission though, and he only gets a longblade and a visitor to start out with (and whatever he finds along the way on the ship).

Kill the one without the shield, take his shotgun, then visitor somewhere and shoot the gun to lure the guards away.

I brought that mission up to take a look at the details of it. You've got the time to pick guys off with the visitor one by one. That will set off an alarm, of course, but the alarm timer for the mission is 111 seconds, which is plenty of time to make your way to the pilot and kill him (which cancels the alarm, in case you didn't know that).

Also remember that the visitor will always take you back to where you came from, even if you're unconscious, so you can jump into a circle of guards, stab one of the shielded guys, throw your sword at a second shielded guy, then grab one of their guns off the floor and shoot the one with the glitch dash. The other ones will have their shields up by about this time, so they'll shoot you and knock you out, but the visitor will snap you back before you're thrown off the ship. Just be sure that the place it snaps you back to isn't someplace where any guards will see you before you wake up. Then either bypass the survivors of the group or pick them off as their shields go down.

Don't forget that just because you start on that ship, doesn't mean you can't leave it. You always have the option of going for a little tour of the area to see if there are any other ships nearby with good loot to swipe if you dislike the given gear that much.
Seems kind of counter to the point of the challenge mission, but that mechanic is always present.

@nDervish they have their shields on constantly and they have heat signiture, so the time i teleport in, they will notice be on the second i land behind on, and cant strike behind them because they have already turned around, but ill try to take your tips , thanks :)

I know this is probably already solved for you, but for anyone that still has trouble:

1) Their shields are not permanent. Agro them, pick them of one by one. Very important: dont forget to pick up their gun. Then kill pilot to stop the countdown. When the pilot is dead, they can knock you out as many times as they want. You cant fail. Spam mission restart until you get a first group you can safely "visit".

Still no luck?

2) Spam mission restart until you get a box near your pod with 3-charge key or teleport. Step 1.

Dispersing enemies is probably the best thing you can do.

I don't know if it was set up differently in 2018, but at the moment its entirely doable to do LBV with *only* the longsword and visitor.

Enemies in each area are 4x Emergency Shield + Heat sensor, 1 x Teleport.

Wait till 2 ES are patrolling so you have two groups of 2 shields. For each group, visit or sneak up, stab one and then throw your sword at the other before either can activate their shield. For the group with the extra, teleport-retrieve your sword for a second throw. The extra takes a bit more time, so they need to be the one without a shield.
