The video presents a powerful attrition loadout for the Super Hornet in Star Citizen, featuring two size four and four size three attrition repeaters, which provide a high sustained DPS of 2,924 and simplify aiming by maintaining uniform fire rates and speeds. The host emphasizes the importance of engaging targets at optimal ranges and offers practical purchasing information for the repeaters, highlighting their value for advanced bounty hunting missions despite their high cost.
In the video, the host introduces a series focused on powerful laser repeater builds for the Super Hornet in Star Citizen. The emphasis is placed on the effectiveness of rapid-fire weapons for targeting small and maneuverable enemies. The host suggests that players struggling to land shots might benefit from using weapons with faster velocity and higher rates of fire. A laser-focused build is recommended for those engaging multiple enemies or wanting to avoid the hassle of resupplying ammunition at landing zones, as laser weapons do not run out of ammo like ballistic options.
The featured loadout in this video is the attrition repeater configuration, consisting of two size four and four size three attrition repeaters. The rationale behind this choice is to ensure that all weapons have the same rate of fire and speed, which simplifies aiming by reducing the number of targeting pips on the screen to just one. This uniformity allows for more consistent hit accuracy, as all weapons will strike the same target area simultaneously.
The attrition loadout boasts a substantial sustained damage per second (DPS) of 2,924, significantly outperforming other laser repeater builds, such as those using Panthers and Rhinos, which only achieve a DPS of 1,590. The host elaborates on the differences in fire rates and projectile speeds, highlighting that while the alternative loadout may have a faster fire rate, it lacks the overall damage output that the attrition configuration provides.
Another critical aspect discussed is weapon range. The host explains that the weapon with the shortest range dictates the minimum distance players should maintain from their targets before opening fire. For the attrition repeaters, the size three variants have a range of 2,600 meters, meaning players should ideally engage at this distance or greater to maximize damage. The current flight model suggests that engaging faster-moving enemy fighters should typically start at around 1 kilometer away.
Finally, the host provides practical information on where to purchase the attrition repeaters, noting that they can be acquired at the HD Showcase in Lille’s financial district. The cost for the size three repeaters is approximately 54k each, while the size fours are around 120k, totaling nearly half a million credits for the full loadout. Despite the high cost, the host underscores the value of this build for players looking to excel in advanced bounty hunting missions, concluding the video with a thank you to viewers.
