This video guide provides instructions on how to steal an Idris in the game Star Citizen. It begins by explaining that in order to access the Idris missions, players need to complete the Arlington mission line, which involves eliminating various targets. The guide then goes on to explain the specific targets and their difficulty levels, highlighting how the AI sometimes struggles during the fights. Once the Arlington missions are completed, the Idris missions will appear randomly every few hours.
The guide advises players to search for an active Idris in space, as the AI struggles to fly the Idris in the atmospheric conditions of Hurston. It also recommends bringing grenades and plenty of ammo to deal with the escort fighters. The guide demonstrates how to board the Idris by ejecting close to it, after which players can clip inside using an airlock on the back of the bridge.
To take control of the stolen Idris, players must use a grenade launcher to kill the pilot, as bullets cannot directly damage the Idris due to invisible geometry. It may require several grenades to achieve the kill, and once successful, the mission will usually complete. The guide also suggests that a second player with a ship capable of external physics positioning, such as the 890 Jump or Nomad, can assist in clipping into the canopy of the Idris to access the pilot’s seat.
The final part of the guide explains the process of jumping towards the pilot’s seat with the interaction key held and spam clicking at the seat until successfully seated. It notes that this may take multiple attempts to get right. Once in control of the Idris, players can operate it as they wish. The limitations of the in-game Idris are also mentioned, with a link provided to a separate video showcasing these limitations.
