In the video, the host, Law of the West, provides a first look at the ARGO Atlas suit, which he affectionately refers to as his “baby.” He clarifies that this suit is not the Titan suit, which he believes is reserved for a military version. The video is unscripted, and he apologizes for the fluctuating frame rates due to server issues, which he encountered while trying to capture the best footage. Despite the technical challenges, he expresses his excitement about the Atlas suit and its design, highlighting its appeal and functionality.
As he explores the Atlas suit, Law emphasizes the impressive animations and user interface that make operating the suit feel engaging and immersive. He draws comparisons to the feel of the suit with elements from the game Subnautica, noting how it makes him feel like he is in a mech seat. The host plans to demonstrate the suit’s capabilities, particularly its ability to haul boxes, and discusses how the new tractor beam mechanic enhances the experience of moving items around in the game.
The host then begins to showcase the suit’s functionality by purchasing and manipulating various cargo boxes.

Law enjoys the intuitive controls and the suit’s ability to lift and move boxes, emphasizing how this feature improves gameplay and reduces stress on the player’s hand controls.
As he continues to experiment with the Atlas suit, Law shares his thoughts on its compatibility with other ships in the game. He mentions that the suit can fit into medium-sized ships like the Freelancer and Cutlass, but not into smaller ships like the Pisces. He also expresses a desire to see how the Atlas would interact with other vehicles, including the Vanguard and the Raft, although he is limited by the available options in the PTU (Public Test Universe).
In closing, Law reflects on his overall impression of the ARGO Atlas suit, expressing enthusiasm for its design and functionality. He acknowledges the technical glitches and frame rate issues but remains hopeful for future improvements. The video wraps up with a demonstration of the exit animation from the suit, leaving viewers with a sense of excitement about the potential of the Atlas in their Star Citizen experience.
