vanguard eve online

In EVE Online, Vanguard refers to a specific type of PvE (Player vs. Environment) content introduced with the Viridian Expansion in June 2023. It's designed for solo or small-group play, offering accessible combat encounters with escalating difficulty. Heres what you need to know: Vanguard Sites Overview Purpose: - Designed for newer players or solo veterans looking for quick, rewarding PvE. - Focuses on combat against rogue drones and other NPC factions. Types of Sites: - Vanguard Scout Sites: Easier encounters for beginners (T1 frigates/destroyers). - Vanguard Outpost Sites: Harder challenges (T2/T3 ships recommended). - Escalations: Successfully completing sites can trigger more difficult follow-up encounters. Rewards: - ISK (from bounties and loot). - Skillbooks, modules, and materials for the New Eden Store (cosmetics). - Viridian Ship SKINs (aesthetic rewards). Access: - Found in high-security (hisec), low-security (lowsec), and null-security (nullsec) space. - Use the Agency Window (default shortcut: Alt+A) to locate sites. Tips for Vanguard PvE Ship Fit: Use ships with good dps and tank (e.g., Destroyers for T1 sites, Cruisers for T2). Watch for Triggers: Some waves spawn when specific enemies are killed. Avoid PvP Hotspots: In lowsec/nullsec, other players may hunt you. Vanguard vs. Other PvE Easier than Abyssals: Less punishing mechanics. Faster than Incursions: Shorter, more flexible sessions. Scaling Difficulty: Higher-tier sites require better ships/fits. Would you like recommendations for ship fits or strategies?
