In the video, Law the West provides a buyer’s guide for the Argo CVS-SM, highlighting its versatility as a cargo vehicle that can carry up to four SCUs of cargo and features a size zero shield for added protection. While he acknowledges its advantages, such as off-road capability and environmental protection, he cautions players about its relatively high price compared to other in-game vehicles and encourages them to consider their needs before purchasing.
In the video, Law the West presents a buyer’s guide for the Argo CVS-SM, a versatile vehicle in the Star Citizen universe. He describes the CVS-SM as a flatbed pickup truck designed to carry up to four SCUs of cargo or any items that can be attached to its maglock grid. This flexibility allows users to customize the vehicle for different purposes, such as adding drop seats for passenger transport. The CVS-SM is compact enough to fit in ships of Cutlass size or larger, and it can even carry a Mule, making it a practical choice for various missions.
One of the notable features of the CVS-SM is its size zero shield, which sets it apart from many other vehicles in the game. This shield provides additional protection, especially beneficial for players venturing into hazardous areas like Pyro, where environmental dangers such as radiation are prevalent. The vehicle is also capable of off-road travel, with a top speed of 28 meters per second over flat terrain, enhancing its utility in diverse environments.
Regarding pricing, the CVS-SM has a base price of $40 and a standalone price of $45. Law expresses his opinion that while the vehicle may be appealing to some, it is relatively expensive compared to other in-game vehicles that players can easily acquire through missions. He suggests that players set achievable goals to earn vehicles in-game rather than purchasing them outright, especially when similar options are available.
Despite the price concerns, Law highlights several advantages of the CVS-SM, such as its fully sealed cab, which includes life support, climate control, and environmental protection. This feature is particularly advantageous for players who may encounter challenging environmental conditions in the game. The presence of a shield, even if vehicle-sized, adds a layer of safety that could be crucial during gameplay.
In conclusion, Law encourages players to consider their needs and the potential utility of the Argo CVS-SM before making a purchase. He acknowledges that the vehicle has its merits, especially for those with ships capable of carrying it, but emphasizes the importance of weighing the costs against in-game availability. Law wraps up the guide by expressing his curiosity about the vehicle’s capacity for carrying multiple items, hinting at further exploration and testing in the future.
