The video showcases the Star Citizen Alpha 4.3.1 Ellesium patch bundle, a $25 warbond-exclusive set featuring a new Ellesium paint for ships, the detailed Ellesium Artmax armor set, and the Fresnel Ellesium Energy LMG. The presenter highlights the bundle’s unique designs, exclusivity due to warbond purchase restrictions, and the visually striking aesthetics of the paint, armor, and weapon.
In this video, the presenter introduces the Star Citizen Alpha 4.3.1 live patch and focuses on the newly released Ellesium patch bundle. They mention that patch bundles appear to be a new trend starting from the last patch, where each new update includes a special bundle available for purchase. The Ellesium patch bundle is priced at $25 and is a warbond offer, meaning it cannot be bought with store credit but only with real money. The presenter also clarifies that this bundle does not grant access to Star Citizen itself, so a separate game package is needed to play.
The patch bundle includes one new colorless paint and six gear items, notably the Fresnel Ellesium Energy LMG and the full set of Ellesium Artmax armor, which consists of the helmet, core, arms, legs, and a small backpack. Interestingly, the bundle does not include an undersuit, and the backpack provided is smaller than expected for medium armor. The presenter emphasizes that these items are warbond pledges and cannot be acquired through store credit, highlighting the exclusivity of the bundle.
The video then showcases the new Ellesium paint applied to the Color Steel variant of a ship. The paint features a striking combination of gold, indigo, and dark gray, with gold accents visible inside and outside the engine, on the doors, and the bottom of the ship. The rare turret, unique to the Color Steel variant, is also painted in this scheme, adding to the ship’s distinctive look. The presenter praises the detailed and visually appealing design of the paint job.
Next, the presenter displays the Ellesium Artmax armor set in detail, pointing out the intricate designs such as the skull, wings, and cape motifs. The armor includes a helmet, core, arms, legs, and a small backpack that shares the same thematic pattern. Despite expecting a medium-sized backpack for this armor type, the small backpack’s design is highly detailed and complements the overall aesthetic of the set.
Finally, the video highlights the Fresnel Ellesium Energy LMG included in the bundle. The presenter equips the gun with an Ender barrel and scope (not included in the bundle) to demonstrate its appearance and performance. The LMG features a skull print that matches the armor and ship theme, and when fired, it overheats with a visually impressive red glow. The heat sink and other design elements add to the weapon’s unique look, rounding out the contents of the Ellesium patch bundle for Star Citizen Alpha 4.3.1.
