The hosts review the Greycat UTV in Star Citizen, praising it as a versatile and practical small vehicle with good storage, off-road capability, and potential for future weapon and functionality upgrades. They highlight its balanced performance compared to other similar vehicles and anticipate it becoming a popular choice for various gameplay scenarios.
The video begins with the hosts, Executor and Agron, introducing the Greycat UTV, affectionately referred to as a “ute” in Australian slang. They express excitement about the vehicle, noting that it has been highly anticipated for about three years. Compared to other small vehicles in Star Citizen, such as the Mule, PTV, and Steve, they consider the UTV to be the best all-rounder so far. The vehicle drives well and performs comparably to others, although all small vehicles currently experience some sliding issues due to ongoing development.
Agron highlights some practical features of the UTV, such as the two side racks on the cab which can hold rifles and utility tools like the salvage tool or max lift, though they do not accommodate pistols. The vehicle also has decent internal storage capacity, capable of holding large items including armor and weapons. They discuss a deployable step on the vehicle, speculating on its future functionality, such as possibly allowing a third passenger or serving as a platform for shooting, though its current use is somewhat unclear.
Both hosts express a desire for additional weapon functionality on the UTV, such as a small weapon mount or turret for hand-held weapons like sniper rifles or machine guns. While these features are not currently implemented, they hope they might be added in future updates. They also note the importance of cargo capacity, especially as heavy armor and large backpacks may not be wearable inside vehicles in the future, making storage boxes essential for transporting gear.
Driving the UTV feels like a blend between the PTV and the Steve, offering a balance of off-road capability and speed. It is not as sporty as the Steve but is more off-road capable, making it a versatile vehicle in its class. The UTV is compact enough to fit inside larger ships like the Cutter, making it practical for various missions and starter-level gameplay. The hosts believe the UTV will become a predominant choice among small vehicles due to its versatility and balanced features.
In conclusion, the hosts wrap up the discussion by acknowledging the UTV as a jack-of-all-trades vehicle that fits a niche similar to that of the Dragonfly or Ursa in their respective size classes. They appreciate its practical design and potential for future enhancements. The video ends with a friendly sign-off, encouraging viewers to like, subscribe, and support the channel on Patreon, especially during challenging times. Both hosts confirm they have purchased the UTV and look forward to using it in the game.
