In this video, the YouTuber discusses an updated loadout for the Aegis Vanguard ship in Star Citizen, utilizing the CF557 repeater weapon to boost the ship’s overall DPS to 2164. The loadout is recommended for PvE missions in the persistent universe, particularly for escort missions.
In this video, the YouTuber discusses an updated loadout for the Aegis Vanguard ship in the online game Star Citizen. The stock version of the Vanguard is heavy and well-armed but lacks agility. It comes with four fixed size two weapons, giving the pilot limited options for loadouts. The default weapon, a size five M7A, is good but can only be used in fixed mode or gimballed mode, limiting the pilot’s ability to use all weapons at once. However, there is a new weapon available, the CF557 repeater, which has similar characteristics to the M7A and can be effectively used by treating it like a Gatling gun.
The CF557 repeater is not easy to acquire as it is not found in stores but comes standard on the Aegis Vanguard. It has a muzzle velocity only 100 meters per second slower than the fixed size two MBSA weapons on the ship, providing decent weapon convergence. When combined with the CF557, the total raw DPS of the loadout is 2164. The slower rate of turn of the Vanguard may limit its effectiveness in arena commander mode but it performs well in the persistent universe (PU), particularly when used in groups of two or three for escort missions.
The YouTuber encourages viewers to try out this loadout in PvE swarm or swarm co-op missions while waiting for the 3.2 patch update. The Vanguard’s purpose is more suited to PU gameplay rather than arena commander. The video also hints at other solid loadout configurations available in the game for Patch 3.1. The YouTuber requests new viewers to explore their other videos on the channel and signs off with a farewell and a hope to see everyone in the “verse” (the in-game universe of Star Citizen).
