The video guides players through unlocking and upgrading the insured ATLS IKTI suit in Star Citizen 4.2 by completing two challenging missions that require collecting rare materials and careful item management, emphasizing teamwork and caution due to game bugs and event difficulties. It also explains the differences between the non-insured radiki suit and the insured jumpy Atlas suit, expressing hopes for future improvements to make the process smoother and more player-friendly.
The video provides a detailed guide on how to unlock the insured ATLS IKTI suit in Star Citizen 4.2, focusing on completing two main missions: “Make Atlas Shoot” and “Make Jumpy Atlas Shoot.” To start, players need to complete the first mission by obtaining an Argo ATLS, one N3 Canyon, 10 irradiated Valakar pearls, and five irradiated Valakar fangs. These components require players to defeat a worm enemy to collect the necessary items. The creator emphasizes the importance of teamwork in gathering these materials and advises viewers to watch a previous video for tips on the event and its challenges.
Once all components are collected, players must carefully deliver them to the NPC Vicello to receive their first Atlas suit that can shoot but not yet fly. The video highlights the difficulty of transporting items safely, sharing a personal experience of nearly losing valuable materials due to game mechanics and bugs. The creator stresses the need for caution when handling the delicate items and criticizes the current event design for being unnecessarily challenging and prone to frustrating losses.
The second mission, “Make Jumpy Atlas Shoot,” requires additional materials: 10 Vic favors, one entry Canyon, one Argo Atlas EKT, and one Atlas Geo. These must be traded with Vicello to upgrade the Atlas suit, enabling it to fly. The process involves careful inventory management and ensuring that players use their own components rather than items stolen or claimed from others. The creator demonstrates the transformation of the suit, showcasing the difference between the radiki (non-insured, non-flyable) and the insured jumpy Atlas with thrusters.
The video also discusses the distinction between the two types of Atlas suits. The radiki suit can only be stored temporarily and lacks insurance, meaning it cannot be reclaimed if lost. In contrast, the insured jumpy Atlas suit can be reclaimed via insurance if lost, making it more desirable despite the radiki’s more impressive protective design. The creator expresses a wish for the developers to make the radiki suit insurable and easier to obtain, highlighting the current system’s complexity and the impact of bugs on the player experience.
In conclusion, the guide underscores the current difficulties and bugs associated with unlocking and upgrading the Atlas suits in Star Citizen 4.2. The creator hopes that future updates, especially version 4.2.1 and beyond, will address these issues and streamline the process.
