Loudguns showcases the new Wikelo super heavy armor set in Star Citizen, detailing how to obtain, craft, and upgrade it along with the Vendetta HMG, emphasizing its Warhammer 40K-inspired design and strategic team-based combat advantages. He highlights the armor’s effectiveness in challenging missions, encourages group play for the best experience, and invites viewers to join his community for end-game content.
In this video, Loudguns introduces the new Wikelo super heavy armor set, also known as the PUL4 armor, which is a recent addition from the Siege of Orison missions in Star Citizen. The armor is characterized by its thick plating and heavy, mechanical feel, reminiscent of a space marine terminator. Players can obtain the armor set by defeating Mendo Ren at the end of the Siege of Orison mission, who wears a Nine Tails themed set, or by looting orange crates found on the mission’s rooftop. While the loot can be inconsistent, players receive blueprints for the armor components after successful runs, allowing them to craft the pieces themselves. The Vendetta HMG gun, which complements the armor, must be looted separately, either from crates or directly from Mendo Ren.
To fully unlock and enhance the armor, players need to complete missions at Wickelo stations that require depositing the standard pattern armor and gun, as well as having sufficient Wickelo favor. Crafting the armor for hand-in does not require high-quality materials, making it accessible for players who prefer farming or dismantling lower-quality gear. The Wickelo version of the armor features a distinctive white snow camo paint job, which Loudguns particularly appreciates due to his fondness for Warhammer 40K aesthetics, specifically the White Scars Space Marine chapter.
The armor consists of three parts: the main suit, helmet, and ammo backpack, each requiring different crafting materials. Auratite affects damage mitigation, Azurite influences temperature resistance, and Titanium is used for the backpack with some impact on resistance. Loudguns advises caution with investing too heavily in Auratite as its maximum improvement is modest. For the Vendetta HMG, Rysite and Tungsten are used to boost damage, with Tungsten providing the more significant increase. He recommends specific asteroid belts and locations for efficiently mining these materials.
After crafting a full set of the super heavy armor and weaponry, Loudguns tests their effectiveness in combat scenarios, particularly against the giant alien worm at the Lazarus sites. The armor’s design supports a class-based team dynamic, with super heavies acting as front-line damage dealers supported by teammates who provide healing and ammo. This teamwork approach enhances the gameplay experience, making combat more strategic and engaging. Loudguns praises the armor’s feel and performance, highlighting the fun and power of wielding the minigun and the satisfaction of coordinated raids.
In conclusion, Loudguns finds the Wikelo super heavy armor to be a surprisingly positive addition to Star Citizen, both in aesthetics and gameplay. He encourages viewers to try the armor in group play for the best experience and invites players interested in end-game content to join his Discord community. He wraps up by inviting feedback, likes, subscriptions, and thanks viewers for watching, wishing them safety in the spacelanes.
