In this Star Citizen 4.2 gameplay video, the player and their crew undertake the challenging Stormbreaker mission chain on the planet Pyro 1. The objective is to infiltrate a heavily guarded weapons research facility buried within dangerous distortion storms to summon and ultimately defeat a massive irradiated worm known as the Apex Valakar. The mission involves breaking into high-security areas, battling armed NPCs, stealing a giant worm egg, and carrying it through a hazardous irradiated storm to the summoning site. The goal is not only to kill the worm but also to extract its valuable teeth and safely get them off-world while competing with other player squads hunting the same prize.
The team begins by acquiring a key card from the science and development facility on Pyro 4, which grants access to the Lazarus complex on Pyro 1 where the worm egg is kept. They deal with perimeter turrets and hostile NPCs, using stealth and combat tactics to infiltrate the facility. After obtaining the key card, they move on to the more dangerous Lazarus complex, flying through distortion clouds and securing the landing zone from enemy players and NPCs. The squad fights off multiple hostile encounters both in the air and on the ground while setting up a spawn point to manage the high-risk environment.
Once inside the Lazarus complex, the crew uses the key card to access the battery room and powers up the door to the IT mech suit, which the player plans to use against the worm. After securing the mech suit, they push deeper into the facility to retrieve the irradiated worm egg. The egg carrier must carefully navigate through radiation hazards while the team fights off waves of NPCs. The worm is then summoned at the cooling tower, where the intense battle against the Apex Valakar begins. The fight is slow and dangerous, with many squad members running low on ammunition or suffering radiation damage.
After a tough and prolonged combat, the team finally kills the giant worm, but the mission is far from over. They must quickly harvest the worm’s teeth and extract them safely while hostile player squads ambush them at the transport hub. The crew engages in intense firefights to defend their loot, using air support and ground tactics to fend off attackers. Despite heavy resistance and casualties, they manage to secure all the teeth and prepare for extraction with the help of a C2 cargo ship, although some equipment, including the player’s mech suit, is lost during the ordeal.
The video concludes with the player reflecting on the grueling mission and thanking their team for their support. The successful completion of the mission rewards them with valuable loot and the potential to trade for powerful gear like the Igi Geo power suit. The player also acknowledges the difficulty and time investment required for such content in Star Citizen, highlighting the cooperative and competitive elements that make these large-scale open-world missions exciting and challenging. The video is supported by a sponsorship from Star Trek Fleet Command, which the player briefly promotes before returning to the gameplay narrative.
