Star Citizen’s Greycat MTC: Tactical Powerhouse or Overhyped Rover?

The video provides a detailed overview of the Greycat MTC in Star Citizen, highlighting its rugged design, versatile combat and support capabilities, and suitability for ground operations. It concludes that the vehicle is a solid buy during Fleet Week, especially as a lifetime insurance token, and recommends players consider acquiring it for its utility and robustness.

The video provides an in-depth overview of the Greycat MTC, a ground vehicle in Star Citizen designed for combat, travel, and FPS support. Priced at $50 during Fleet Week and available in-game in about three months, the MTC emphasizes function over form with rugged, utilitarian design. It is a versatile, two-person vehicle equipped with extensive weapons and armor storage, making it suitable for various ground operations. The vehicle is built to handle different terrains, featuring off-road capabilities and a robust, armored frame aimed at supporting troops on planetary surfaces.

The MTC is equipped with a remote turret armed with two size-two laser repeaters, which can be operated by the driver or a second occupant in the rear seat. It also includes two suit lockers and two weapons racks capable of storing a range of small arms, with an external cargo rack providing additional storage. Its internal dimensions and external size allow it to fit within various ships, although it is similar in size to the Öza rover. The vehicle’s top speed is around 35 meters per second, slightly slower than comparable vehicles, primarily due to its reinforced armor and weight, but it excels in handling rough terrain and performing maneuvers like drifting.

CIG describes the MTC as a light armored, standalone tactical vehicle suitable for various ground-based encounters, from combat zones like Jumptown to support missions across the universe. It is designed to support two players—one driver and one gunner—with future updates planned to limit gear compatibility based on seating. The vehicle’s shield and armor are comparable to other light vehicles, featuring a single size-zero shield and durable armor. While it lacks dedicated ammunition storage and medical supplies, its external cargo rack and internal storage make it a flexible support platform, though it’s not intended as a medical or resupply vehicle.

The vehicle’s handling, fuel capacity, and transport options are also discussed. Currently, ground vehicles do not consume fuel, but this will change in the future, and tire customization is planned. The MTC can be transported in ships capable of fitting similar-sized vehicles, like the Öza rover, but may face limitations in ships with restricted headroom, such as the Constellation Phoenix. Its primary role is to support infantry operations, providing mobility and firepower, rather than transporting large squads or medical teams. The turret’s elevation allows for targeting ground vehicles and infantry, but it is not designed for anti-aircraft purposes.

Overall, the video concludes with personal opinions on the MTC’s design and utility, highlighting its rugged look and versatility. The presenter suggests that it’s a good buy for Fleet Week, especially as a lifetime insurance token, and recommends purchasing in-game once it becomes available. The video encourages viewer engagement through questions about their interest in the vehicle, suggestions for other ships and vehicles, and mentions ongoing community giveaways and partnerships. The overall tone is informative, aiming to help players understand the MTC’s capabilities, limitations, and potential uses within Star Citizen’s evolving universe.
