Void Crew - 10 Guides To Get Started

Hey ectypes!

Are you new to Void Crew?
… Or maybe you’re an experienced player, but have a friend that’s new and you don’t feel like explaining all the basics?

Worry no more, we got you all!

We created 10 quick videos explaining all the basics to Void Crew. From starting in the hub and creating a game, to travelling around the void, repairing the ship, using the fabricator… everything you need to know to jump into pilgrimages and help in the fight for METEM. We want all ectypes to be as prepared as possible!

You can find the playlist in our Youtube channel, but let’s go through each video and what they’re about.

#1 Starting in The Hub

When you log into Void Crew, you land in the lobby. Here’s where you can start organizing your crew and set up a mission. Learn everything you need to know to go into your first pilgrimage:

1. Picking the right ship
2. Characters and roles (Pilot, Gunner, Engineer, Scavenger)
3. Customization (perks and cosmetics)
4. Choosing an objective
5. Starting the mission

#2 Objective Types

There are various types of objectives throughout the void. They range from combat to scavenging, but often they are a mix of both. We want you to know what they’re all about so you can choose your adventure wisely!

  • Container Hunt: seek out and destroy containers to locate Data Shards.
  • Priority Targets: hunt down dangerous targets for some hefty profit!
