How do you get nomad weapons?

If you are stuck in a mission and do not know how to continue, this is the place to ask for help. Missing that elusive Level 10 Shield? Don''t know where to find the lost Ohtori ship? This is the only place where spoilers are allowed!

How do you get nomad weapons?

Where are Nomad weapons sold?
Do I need a mod to get them?

In order to get Nomads weapons you must kill them!!, I assume you finished the SP missions right?, so go for them!!, explore!!

Good Luck out there[![!

Nomad Weapons can only be found on Nomad ships, and they'll never give them to you without a fight. Just be warned that they chew through shields and armor like nothing else, and Nomads always show up in groups of 4, so you will want a fully equipped vessel before you try to go get some(which means class 10 ship, class 10 shields, advanced thruster, preferrably class 10 guns, full nanos/batteries). Not to mention that for the most part, Nomads show up in irradiated areas(like the cloud around their "Unknown Jump Hole" in Omicron Alpha).


Reaper: $200,000,000.
Rockets: $100,000
The look on that pilot's face when you launch a full pod of screamers up his tailpipe: priceless

Do they have more than 2 gun types? After I got 2 of each, they don't seem to drop any more guns

they only drop blasters and cannons, yet they carry lasers aswell, which cannot be looted though.

Sig : You probably want to be at least lvl 30 before you go nomad hunting (as well as having all the kit other peeps have suggested) 'cause before that they never drop and weapons.

There is also a unknown jumphole in Omicron Gamma, in the cloud around 2c i think.

the ones in Omnicron Alpha (near the unknown object and derilict outcast fighters) drop the blasters. go thru the worm hole and the ones in system "Unknown" drop the blasters.

about 1 drop per 3-4 kills.

the blaster do something like 636 damage, cannons do something like 848.
the refire on blaster is 4.00, on cannon is 3.03, so ya see the cannon is the prefered weapon.


Has anyone mapped the unknow system yet? Do to radiation damage, i don't wander far from the wornhole.

which one? I think there are two unknown wormholes. The one in Omicron Alpha is empty, the one in Omicron Gamma(?) has two systems that doesn't seem to do anything.
