In this final installment of a three-part series, the host presents a loadout for the MK2 Super Hornet that features four size three Panther repeaters and two size four Rhino repeaters, emphasizing its rapid firing rate and effectiveness against fast-moving targets. While this build has the lowest DPS among those discussed, it is accessible and practical for new players, making it a great choice for early-game bounty hunting and mercenary missions.
In this video, the host concludes a three-part series focused on the most effective laser repeater builds for the Super Hornet in the game Star Citizen. Having previously discussed builds featuring all Attrition weapons and all NDB 30s, this final installment introduces a loadout that combines four size three Panther repeaters with two size four Rhino repeaters. The host selected these weapons due to their matching firing rates of 750 and projectile speeds of 1,800, allowing players to focus on a single targeting reticle for improved accuracy.
While this Panther/Rhino configuration yields a total sustained damage per second (DPS) of 1,590, it is noted to be the weakest build among those discussed in the series. However, its strengths lie in its rapid firing rate and speed, making it particularly effective against fast-moving targets. This loadout is described as more forgiving for players who may struggle with aiming, as the high rate of fire increases the likelihood of landing shots.
The host emphasizes the accessibility of the Panther and Rhino weapons, suggesting that players can acquire them for free. Several methods are provided, including tagging along on salvage runs to strip weapons from ships, scavenging abandoned vessels at space stations and OM markers, or obtaining weapons from defeated enemy ships during missions. Players are advised to use a flight suit and portable tractor beam to detach weapons without fully destroying the enemy ship.
In terms of gameplay, the host explains that the high rate of fire but lower DPS makes this loadout particularly effective against light and medium fighters. It is positioned as an ideal starting loadout for beginners engaged in bounty hunting and mercenary missions, as it provides sufficient firepower to eliminate low-end targets quickly. The practicality of this build is highlighted, especially for players who may not have extensive credits to spend on more powerful weaponry.
In conclusion, while the Panther/Rhino repeater build may not deliver the highest damage output, its cost-effectiveness and ease of access make it a practical choice for new players. The host encourages viewers to consider this loadout for its efficiency in early-game scenarios, reinforcing the idea that sometimes, the most straightforward options can be the most effective. The video wraps up with a thank you to the audience and a reminder to take care.
