Safeguard Missions

Is it possible at level 50 to go back and do the earlier detective/safeguard missions and get the associated badges? The detective stuff was implemented when I was at level 48.

At this time, you cannot use Ouroboros to flashback to the Safeguard/Mayhem missions.

The only way I can think of is to accompany someone in that level range on theirs.

The only way I found is to join a team of the appropriate level and get exemplared down to their level. Try broadcasting your desired on your server Badge Channel.

You don't even have to be exemplared. Just have the lowbie start the mission with you on the team. Then you can go in, one-shot the Villain, find the exploration badge, do all the side missions (and get the temp power if you get to the clickie first). Everyone who hasn't gotten the special reward will get it upon mission completion. Of course, no xp or prestige, but you'll get the other rewards and badges.

If you get the weapons deal side mission, be sure to exemp down and wait about a minute before clicking on the glowie. Otherwise you don't get the temp power for the side mission. (Oh, and make sure the mission owner doesn't mind you doing the click, since only the person who clicks the glowie gets the temp power).

Most of the side missions work similarly. Only one person gets the credit toward the badge. In the weapons deal, clicking the glowie gets that one person the temp power and badge progress. In the 'stop the sewer bombing', whoever clicks the LAST bomb gets badge credit. Same with the arson.

[/ QUOTE ]I assume this won't allow you to get a temp power you already got once?

You can get repeats of the raid temps, as long as you have completely used up the prevous one

[/ QUOTE ]I probably should have specified that I was thinking of safeguard temps, especially the Atlas Park Bank Safeguard and the Raptor Pack. What are the "raid" temps?

From the raid side mission. You get temporary combat powers; attacks, shields, random buff toggles, things like that.

You cannot reobtain the Safeguard completion powers (Raptor Pack, etc).

However, the Raptor Pack is available for sale in Firebase Zulu.

I assume the side mission temp powers are rewarded at random and based on a roll?

The reason I ask is, while I have gotten several temp powers in Mayhem side missions, in 14 months of playing I have never gotten a single temp power from a Safeguard side mission. Because of this, I always assumed side mish temp powers were only awarded redside.

It is possible that you were awarded a Temp power you already had (it won't replace/refresh one you own already), or instead of a temporary power from the side mission, you received an Access Bypass special salvage (again, only allowed to carry one at a time).

You run the raid mission, click on the glowie and get a temp power, just the same as redside.

If you already have the temp power, you get nothing. Some of these temps come form other sources as well (eg Cryonite Armor), and that will count as already having.

The possible list is:
Claymore
Cryonite Armor
Cryoprojection Bracers
Electromagnetic Grenades
EMP Glove
Flamethrower
Heavy Rock
IR Goggles
Kinetic Shield
Long Bow
Med Kit
Plasmatic Taser
Shotgun
Smoke Bomb
Stealth Suit
Stun Grenade
Tear Gas
Wave Scrambler
Web Grenade

And I have gotten each of those over the course of many safeguards, one of my goals with Catwhoorg ages ago was to acquire each of them

[/ QUOTE ]Danke. That was my impression. I was hoping I was wrong.

The Cryo armour heroside from the "Balsim's designs" mission (20-24) is a considered a different power than the side mission temp. I do have both on a character and they do stack (the suits have different timer amounts).

My favourite is the heavy rock, especially when you use it right away to get rid of it... and miss.

Yeah that was a nice little bonus.

[/ QUOTE ]Access Bypass can't be gotten from the Arms Deal side mission (where you get one of several temporary powers). Access Bypasses come from the Break In/Smash & Grab side mission.

Interesting, because that's what I remember it from too (Jewelery store), but when I second guessed myself and checked the Wiki, it says on this page :

[ QUOTE ]
The Access Bypass Salvage that is awarded as part of the Raid side mission in a Mayhem Mission or Safeguard Mission can be substituted for one of the launch codes.

[/ QUOTE ]

So when I looked up what a "Raid" side mission is I found this:


[ QUOTE ]
Raid ... Raid a base of a villain group, possibly acquiring a Temporary Power.

Smash and Grab ... Raid safes and/or vaults for valuables, while avoiding security spotlights.

[/ QUOTE ]

I supposed that should be clarified, and the Safeguard equivalent page updated.
