The last area of Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader takes players to Act 5, where you are thrust into the Avirous Drift. It is a dangerous region filled with Warp and contains a multitude of dangers and big prizes.
Players who are unsure how to approach this can quickly find themselves overwhelmed with everything, and the following guide will help them understand how to come out on top through the seemingly never-ending chaos.
WH: Rogue Trader Act 5: Surviving the Aviorus Drift
You will have to plan very well before you head into Act 5 in general. Keeping your character levels in the high 30s is advised, as the challenges in front are no easy feat.
It would be best to focus on gear dealing with the Warp and upgrade your weapons and armor as much as possible. That will give your crew the best chance of fighting the myriad dangers.
A particular feature of your crew should be the Magos Dominus, along with the various skills of navigation, fighting, and even tech, as you will need all the help you can get.
Moreover, players should stock up the Voidship with ammo, supplies, and medical resources, as there can be long periods without any coming during Act 5.
Exploring the Avirous Drift
Given the ever-shifting nature of the Avirous Drift, you will have to navigate with extreme caution. Make sure you are moving around cautiously and trusting your Navigator so as to stay away from uncharted zones.
The Avirous Drift is also filled with wrecks and areas that give a bunch of loot and secrets. You should rely on your Voidstrike scanners to find them and then battle the hostile combatants that are present there.
There are multiple factions that are looking to control the Avirous Drift so you should team up after carefully weighing up your options, depending on the outcome in the future.
You will encounter significant encounters in big places like the Forgefiend, a massive daemon engine workshop, and the Scourstone, a Warp anomaly storing strong artifacts.
Fighting in the Avirous Drift
There are a bunch of ship vs. ship combat, so you will have to use good tactics and hit the pain points of the enemies, along with using your Voidship’s abilities to come out on top.
You will encounter a multitude of daemons and evil creatures that will have to be taken down with anti-Warp weapons, depending on Psykers that will come in handy.
Players will be forced to make decisions to appease one faction while angering a different one in the game, so think wisely before deciding.
It would be best to always rely on your crew members, so choose your team wisely. Particular attention should be given to Medicae and repairs, as injuries will slow you down.
Another thing that is a must is to save your progress often in the game, as it will save you the trouble of restarting from far back in case something terrible happens.
The final thing to remember is to explore as much as possible since Act 5 has many hidden quests and secrets that will give you great prizes.
Thus, that is all the information players need when going around the Avirous Drift in Act 5 of Rogue Trader. Players must always be alert on their feet and keep their thinking caps on to come out on top regularly.
