The reviewer finds the Drake REDLINE Bundle for Star Citizen 4.8 visually appealing and functional, especially praising the flight suit, Gallant rifle, and Buccaneer paint, but expresses disappointment over the bundle’s price and content choices, such as the inclusion of the rifle instead of a crossbow and the mandatory Buccaneer paint. While the bundle is recommended for Drake fans, the reviewer is hesitant to keep it long-term, considering melting it to fund other purchases.
The video reviews the new Drake REDLINE Bundle released as part of the Star Citizen 4.8 monthly patch. This bundle includes a flight suit, a Gallant rifle, and a red paint job for the Buccaneer ship. The reviewer expresses some disappointment as they had hoped for a crossbow instead of the Gallant rifle and would have preferred to purchase the flight suit without the Buccaneer paint. The flight suit is noted to provide an advantage over normal armor during flight, and the bundle is priced at $20.
In-game, the reviewer showcases the flight suit and highlights its appeal to fans of the Drake brand, suggesting that those who dislike Drake may want to skip this bundle. A unique feature is the helmet, which allows sunglasses to remain visible underneath and includes a breathing apparatus that moves with the character’s head. The Gallant rifle is praised as one of the reviewer’s favorite guns, featuring a Drake logo, but the price point of the bundle is seen as somewhat high given the limited items included.
The Buccaneer paint is also demonstrated, with the reviewer admitting they do not frequently pilot the Buccaneer but appreciate the red paint’s aesthetic. They consider purchasing the Buccaneer after the next game wipe for some casual play but do not plan to keep the bundle long-term, likely melting it to fund other ship reviews. Despite this, the overall look of the paint, suit, and rifle is regarded positively.
The reviewer comments on the Buccaneer ship itself, recognizing it as a powerful but fragile vessel with high damage per second (DPS). While it may not excel in player versus player (PvP) combat, it is seen as very effective for player versus environment (PvE) scenarios when piloted skillfully. The helmet’s reflective bluish-green tint is also noted as a nice visual touch.
In conclusion, the reviewer finds the Drake REDLINE Bundle visually appealing and functional, especially for Drake enthusiasts, but questions its value due to the bundled paint and price. They encourage viewers to subscribe and share the video, ending with some final visuals of the flight suit and paint. The overall tone is positive but tempered with some reservations about the bundle’s cost-effectiveness and content choices.
