Most players skip Security Post Guerraia. That's the point.

Fewer bodies on-site means more crates left untouched. This Cellin security station still drops crossbows, launchers, sniper rifles, LMGs, scopes, and the occasional rail gun — if you run it right.

Star Citizen 4.9 Security Post Guerraia Loot Guide: Crossbow & Sniper Farm



Why This Spot Still Pays Off

Security Post Guerraia sits near Cellin, Crusader's moon. It's an old-school security post: turrets, NPCs, crime stat mechanics, loot crates.

Because it's fallen out of the meta rotation, competition is low. You'll occasionally see a player clearing a crime stat — that's about it.

LocationRegionValueRisk
Security Post Guerraia Cellin, Stanton Weapon crates, Tigerclaws, rare weapon chance Medium–High
Comm Array (Cellin) Nearby orbital Must disable to avoid crime stat Medium
Grim HEX Yela Buy Tigerclaw here first Low

Treat it like a raid: gear light, hack fast, loot hard, extract or server-hop.

Gear Up Before You Fly

Don't bring anything you can't afford to lose. Bugs happen. Prison happens. Rare armor disappearing happens.

ItemWhy
Tigerclaw Hacks comm array + clears crime stats
Space bike Safer comm array approach than a ship
Throwaway armor Death/bugs won't sting
Basic rifle/SMG Enough for NPCs, no need to overinvest
Medpens Keeps the run alive
Bed-equipped ship Enables server swapping

Leave the crafted gear at home. If NPCs kill you while comms are active, you're looking at a crime stat and a possible inventory wipe.

Step 1: Grab a Tigerclaw at Grim HEX

Head to the right-side vendor section at Grim HEX before departing. A Tigerclaw is your master key here — it disables the comm array, clears crime stats, and bails you out of mistakes mid-run.

Skip it, and every fight near the comm array becomes a legal liability.

Step 2: Kill the Comm Array

Check the status light first.

StatusVisualMeaning
Active Normal lighting Crimes are monitored
Disabled Red / offline Safe to fight nearby

Already dark? Skip the hack, go straight to looting.

Hack sequence:

1. Park your ship well clear of turret range.

2. Deploy your space bike.

3. Fly into the comm array entrance.

4. Reach the bottom terminal.

5. Insert the Tigerclaw, wait it out.

6. Disable, then fly back.

Why the bike? Ships eat missiles and turret fire. A bike slips in fast and small.

MethodSafetySpeedUse Case
Ship direct Low Fast, then risky Only if array's already dead
Space bike High Moderate Default choice
EVA Medium Slow Emergency only

Missile lock on your ship? Break off immediately, switch to bike.

Step 3: Land Without Getting Shredded

Turrets make the landing phase the riskiest part of the run.

Fast approach:

1. Come in at speed, shields up.

2. Never hover in turret range.

3. Tuck under/near the pads where turret angles are weak.

4. Power down, exit fast.

5. Get inside before anyone notices.

Turrets sometimes stay quiet due to server lag. Don't count on it. Fly every approach like they're locked and loaded.

Landing OptionRiskBest For
Fast landing under pads Medium Confident pilots
Bike approach Lower Safe farming runs
Hovering nearby High Don't

Step 4: Loot the Station

Move deliberately. NPCs spawn in corridors and central rooms. Players may show up too — usually clearing crime stats.

Loot TypeExamplesValue
Special weapons Crossbow, possible rail gun High
Heavy weapons Knight launcher, LMGs High
Rifles Snipers, P4-AR, FS-9/FH9-types Medium
Attachments Scopes, sights, barrels Medium
Utility Tigerclaws, medpens Medium
Ammo Launcher/rifle/specialty Situational

Crossbows are the realistic high-value grab. Rail guns are possible, not guaranteed.

Best Crate Zones

Don't just clear the obvious rooms — sweep everything.

Lower corridors/tunnels: Check first. Crates line the floor, and player corpses sometimes carry Tigerclaws or ammo. Loot bodies fast, don't linger.

Central room: Highest crate density, highest exposure. Loot fast, watch your angles.

Upper levels: Roughly three vertical layers. Sometimes empty on quiet servers — still worth the climb for a single crate.

Drop-downs/hidden spots: Easiest to skip, easiest to overlook loot. One crossbow pull came straight out of a forgotten drop-down area.

AreaLootDangerNote
Lower corridors High Medium First sweep priority
Central room High High Fast in, fast out
Upper levels Medium Medium Follow-up sweep
Drop-downs Medium Medium Don't skip these

Handling NPCs Without Wrecking Your Run

Comm array down? Fight back freely — no monitored crime risk.

Comm array active? Play it safer:

  • Avoid shooting unless forced.
  • Close doors behind you to slow pursuit.
  • Sprint past anything not blocking your path.
  • Break line-of-sight when possible.
SituationResponseWhy
NPCs passive Move past Saves ammo, avoids crime stat
NPCs blocking Close doors/break LOS Buys time
Hostile, comms down Kill freely No legal risk
Hostile, comms active Escape or accept the stat Fighting = crime stat
Boss NPC Kill only if geared Drops decent loot

One careless kill under active comms turns a loot run into a prison detour.

The Rare Weapon Reality Check

ItemFrequencyPriority
Common rifles High Low–Medium
Snipers Medium Medium
Crossbows Low–Medium High
Launchers Low–Medium High
Rail guns Low Very High

No rail gun after two clears doesn't mean the spot's dead — the rare table just did what rare tables do.

Don't ignore small boxes either. They're a solid Tigerclaw and medpen source, which keeps your run funded for the next comm hack or crime stat clear.

Clearing a Crime Stat On-Site

Central terminal accepts a Tigerclaw for a crime stat clear:

1. Enter the station.

2. Grab/use a Tigerclaw.

3. Reach the central terminal.

4. Start the hack.

5. Defend or hide.

6. Clear the stat.

7. Loot or extract.

Watch out: this attracts bounty hunters. Hack from a corner with a clear sightline on entrances, not out in the open.

Server Swapping for Repeat Runs

StepAction
1 Return to ship
2 Store loot
3 Bed log
4 Change server/region
5 Re-check comm array status
6 Repeat sweep

Don't assume the comm array stays disabled across servers. Check the status light every single time you re-enter.

The Full Route

StageActionGoal
Prep Buy Tigerclaw at Grim HEX Enable hacks
Comm array Disable if active Avoid crime stat
Approach Land under pads / bike in Survive turrets
Entry Move in fast Avoid exposure
Lower sweep Corridors/tunnels Early crates
Central sweep Main room + corners Densest loot
Upper sweep Stairs/upper levels Catch missed spawns
Hidden sweep Drop-downs, side rooms Overlooked crates
Extract Return to ship Secure loot
Repeat Bed log/swap Refresh spawns

Risk Rules That Actually Matter

  • Cheap armor only.
  • Minimum one Tigerclaw, ideally two.
  • Never hover near turrets.
  • Bike for comm array work, every time.
  • Recheck comm status after every swap.
  • Fully loot crates so spawns refresh.
  • Skip unnecessary kills under active comms.
  • Assume players are already inside.
ProblemFix
Under turret fire Break away, cover fast
NPCs swarm Close doors, use choke points
Crime stat gained Tigerclaw at central terminal
Player appears Decide fast: hide, talk, or fight
Died/jailed Serve/escape, re-kit cheap
Poor loot Finish sweep, server swap

FAQ

Where is Security Post Guerraia in Star Citizen 4.9?

Around Cellin, Stanton system. Security station with turrets, NPCs, loot crates, and crime stat functionality.

Do I need a Tigerclaw for this run?

Yes. It disables the comm array and clears crime stats. Buy one at Grim HEX before heading out.

Why disable the comm array first?

Without it disabled, killing security NPCs gets monitored and can slap you with a crime stat mid-fight.

What weapons actually spawn here?

Rifles, snipers, crossbows, launchers, LMGs, ammo, scopes, and occasionally rail guns. Crossbows and launchers are the most consistent high-value finds.

Is Security Post Guerraia solo-friendly?

Yes, with caution. Turrets, NPCs, and occasional players are the main risks. Cheap gear and a careful route make it very manageable solo.

Bottom Line

Security Post Guerraia won't hand you a rail gun every run, but it's a low-competition, crate-dense loot spot worth farming for crossbows, launchers, snipers, and ammo.

Buy the Tigerclaw. Kill the comm array. Land fast or bike in. Sweep lower corridors, central room, upper levels, and every drop-down. Extract before it gets crowded.

Server-hop with a bed-equipped ship, recheck comm status every time, and never bring gear you're not ready to lose.
