How to get Renaissance Blaster in SP?

Acestar138 · Feb 14th 2021

Been playing the SP again and it's been great so far! But I am currently looking for arguably the best obtainable weapons in the game, the "Renaissance Blaster". Where and how do I get it?
And if someone has the Save file ID Number for the gun or a Save file that has a Renaissance blaster in it, that'd be greatly appreciated as well xD

Hello Acestar138,

the location of this gun is specified in the Lexicon article here: Renaissance Blaster

Renaissance systems will be open during "Lost Fleet" bonus mission. It is optional and can only be activated if you explore Sol system when taking a break from the main quest (answering "Decline" to Juni).

P.S. It is not the best gun - it has higher hull damage, but low power efficiency,

Hope this helps!

Hi Wanderer,

Thanks for the info! I will note the power efficiency but I am interested in completing the Lost fleet bonus mission.

At what point in the Mission logs do I need to "Decline" to Juni? I am currently in Coalition space (ie, Altair sectors) so have I missed it?

Thanks!

Here is a detailed answer:

How to start the bonus mission?

Bonus mission files are automatically downloaded via mod launcher (you need allow update, if you play only SP). Bonus mission itself can be played ONLY during active SP Campaign! Use one from offered "campaign pauses" during missions added by the Crossfire mod (1st pause is in Mission 24: Crossfire Chapter 5 - Coalition_) and go explore asteroid belt in the Sol system. It is big area, but with 'turreted view' you can find unusual 'things', like are for example anomalies, at long distances.

Above mentioned first 'pause' is offered by Juni and King when you will for a first time visit bar at Order Military HQ in the Sol system. It will have automatically launched short cutscene where you will be asked if you want to continue. Choose answer "No" and campaign will be paused.

You can then freely look around, explore and/or buy better ship or equipment, do "Side story" and continue in campaign (main story) later (note: you will be unable to get normal missions from bases bars, it is hard coded restriction). When you next time return to bar at Order Military HQ, the same cutscene will repeat. Choose reply "Yes", and campaign (main story) will continue.

Important, please read!! After will be your Crossfire mod installation updated with LF files (it happens automatically via mod launcher), please check Freelancer directory for newly added utility called "FactionPatch.cmd". This utility do first backup to all of your SP gamesaves (is needed only if you want use "old" saves), and then will update theirs copies with information about new faction(s) added into the mod. This step is absolutelly necessary for proper functioning of the NPCs in the side story mission. Patching process needs some time, so be patient.

Autosaves: please avoid use of these during SP Campaign play completely! It was repeatedly confirmed that use of them can corrupt all further saves including mission-saves!!!!

What is now possible to be found in the Sol Sector may be a real surprise ...

Roger that and thanks! It seems I've already passed it. So will make a save to experience it later. Thanks so much!

You missed the first chance, but there will be a second chance to decline Juni and look for the Lost Fleet. You won't be as close to it that time, though. Depending how far you're in after the offer you accepted, maybe you want to reload your old save.
