In the video “4.0.2 PTU The Suicide Bombing Test,” the host experiments with various bomb types in Star Citizen, facing challenges in effectively delivering damage to targets like the Polaris ship. Despite multiple attempts using different methods, including placing bombs inside and outside ships and utilizing torpedoes, the results are largely disappointing, culminating in a humorous finale with a “special bomb.”
In the video titled “4.0.2 PTU The Suicide Bombing Test,” the host continues experimenting with various types of bombs in the game Star Citizen, specifically in the 4.0.2 Public Test Universe (PTU). With access to in-game currency, the host purchases different bomb types from the Crusader showroom, including the Colossus, Storm Burst, and Thunderball bombs. The video highlights the challenge of delivering these bombs effectively, as each bomb has 1,000 hit points, making them difficult to ignite with standard FPS weapons. To address this, the host introduces a Pathfinder missile as a fuse to trigger the bombs.
The host tests the Colossus bomb first, using the Cutter Scout ship for transport. However, the initial bombing run against a Polaris ship results in no damage, indicating a failed attempt. The host then tries the Storm Burst bombs, placing several inside the Cutter and conducting a second bombing run. Again, the Polaris ship sustains no damage, leading to the conclusion that bombs stored inside a ship do not cause external damage, regardless of whether the ship’s shields are active or not.
In an attempt to find a more effective bombing method, the host considers placing bombs outside of ships, specifically on the H A or H C. The host notes that while the H A can carry multiple A1 bombs, it cannot accommodate larger A2 bombs. Using various weapons, including a sniper rifle and a different ship’s cannon, the host tries to detonate the external bombs but experiences further failures, with little to no damage inflicted on the target ships.
The host then shifts focus to using size 10 torpedoes, loading 28 of them into the Zeus CL ship. Despite the impressive firepower, the bombing run against the Polaris yields disappointing results, with only minor damage observed. The host attempts to drop and shoot the torpedoes directly onto the Polaris ships, leading to some explosions but not achieving the desired destruction. The video illustrates the limitations of the current game mechanics in relation to bomb delivery and effectiveness.
Towards the end, the host introduces a “special bomb,” which adds a humorous twist to the testing. The group conducts a final test involving shooting the special bomb, resulting in chaotic explosions and unexpected outcomes. The video concludes with a mix of laughter and frustration as the participants navigate the challenges of executing successful suicide bombing runs in Star Citizen, showcasing both the fun and unpredictability of the game.
