In this video, SaltEMike reacts to the Star Citizen 3.22 patch notes. He begins by mentioning that there are some hidden features in the patch that many players may not have noticed. He highlights the new Rex to Riches trailer, which introduces the Structural Salvage gameplay mechanic. He mentions that players can make a lot of money by purchasing a Reclaimer ship and salvaging structures, but also notes that the economy’s stability on live servers is still uncertain.
SaltEMike expresses his excitement about the new derelict settlements in the Public Test Universe (PTU). These settlements offer more engaging content compared to the repetitive bunker missions and bring enhancements to the gameplay experience. He explains that they serve as trading locations, shops, and also provide locations for combat and lawful missions. He believes that these settlements play a vital role in making the game world feel more alive and showcases the progress made by the development teams.
The addition of new hairstyles for characters is something SaltEMike mentions as a positive change, as they greatly improve the appearance of player characters. He also mentions that Jumptown begins on the 22nd, but unfortunately, he won’t be able to play during that time. He expresses hope that Jumptown will be available multiple times during the holiday season.
The concept of personal cargo containers is another feature highlighted by SaltEMike. He describes them as a step in the progression of inventory systems, providing more interaction with various items. He clarifies that they won’t allow players to store large quantities of goods like Maze B bags, but they can be used for storing guns, ammo, and other smaller items.
Lastly, SaltEMike briefly mentions updates to Arena Commander, including new maps, modes, and match types. He hints that there may be some hidden surprises in this aspect of the patch. Overall, he believes that although the 3.22 patch may not be the most content-rich, it still offers interesting features to hold players over the holiday break, such as Jumptown and the derelict settlements. He expresses excitement about these additions and looks forward to exploring them in the game.
