This video provides a detailed guide for finding Palatino armor in Star Citizen’s 4.5 patch, focusing on hostile distribution centers like Dupri, Cryastro, and S4LD13, and offers tactical advice for navigating turret defenses and combat-heavy interiors to secure armor pieces. It also highlights the current absence of backpacks in these locations, advising players to use alternative options while preparing thoroughly for intense encounters.
This video serves as a comprehensive guide for players hunting Palatino armor in Star Citizen’s 4.5 live patch. The recent update has shaken up the locations where Palatino armor pieces can be found, primarily restricting them to hostile distribution centers rather than the previously safe neutral centers. The key hostile locations identified for looting these armor pieces are Dupri on Hursten Complex B, Cryastro centers on Microtech, and S4LD13, a Microtech logistics center. The guide emphasizes the need for either a fast ship to avoid detection or a strategic approach using ground vehicles like the Dragonfly to evade turret defenses, as the ground defenses do not track ground vehicles.
The video details a tactical approach to entering these hostile areas, recommending landing beyond turret range and using ground vehicles to approach. The suggested entry point is near a ramp leading to the loot box area where the arms spawn, specifically around a recognizable scissor lift crane. Players are advised to navigate a jump puzzle to reach the arms located inside the scissor lift basket. After securing the arms, the guide instructs players to proceed inside the distribution center, preparing for intense combat with hostile NPCs who are aggressive and numerous, making it essential to be well-armed and possibly accompanied by medical support.
Inside the distribution center, after surviving the initial firefight, players must locate the inventory center where the core armor piece is found. The core piece is hidden behind a long pipe in a small room with a large orange box. Following this, players should ascend to the building’s security rooms via a red staircase. These areas are typically heavily guarded, requiring players to clear waves of enemies. The security rooms contain maintenance tunnels with additional loot boxes holding trousers and weapons. The guide notes the presence of two security checkpoints, each with potential loot, encouraging thorough exploration for variants.
The final steps involve reaching the executive area of the distribution center, where the executive lounges and another maintenance crawlway hide the last armor piece—a helmet inside a box behind server racks. However, the video highlights a significant absence: backpacks are currently not found in these locations. Despite extensive searching by the community, no backpack spawn points have been identified, suggesting they are either extremely rare or not yet implemented in the game. Players are advised to use other backpacks for the time being as a full Palatino armor set is currently unattainable.
In conclusion, this guide aims to streamline the Palatino armor hunting process under the new 4.5 patch conditions, reducing randomness by clearly marking loot locations and offering tactical advice for dealing with hostile environments. The video credits community members for their contributions to uncovering these details and encourages players to prepare adequately for combat encounters.
