The video explores the best ballistic loadouts for the Super Hornet MK II in Star Citizen, emphasizing the importance of burst DPS and sustained DPS for different combat scenarios. The presenter tests various ballistic weapons and configurations, encouraging viewers to experiment with their setups to find what best suits their individual playstyle.
In the video, the presenter discusses the best ballistic loadouts for the Super Hornet MK II in the game Star Citizen. They emphasize that there is no single “best” loadout, as each ballistic weapon has unique advantages and disadvantages. The video aims to explore various factors that contribute to an effective loadout, particularly focusing on burst DPS (damage per second) and sustained DPS. The presenter explains that burst DPS measures the damage output during a short firing period until the weapon overheats, while sustained DPS accounts for longer engagements with stationary targets.
The presenter begins by explaining the importance of burst DPS and sustained DPS in combat scenarios. They demonstrate how to access these statistics on the Super Hornet’s page in the game and clarify that burst DPS is particularly relevant for short engagements, while sustained DPS is crucial for prolonged battles. The video aims to test various ballistic weapons to identify which combinations yield the highest burst and total damage, encouraging viewers to experiment with different setups to find what suits their playstyle best.
Next, the video delves into specific ballistic weapons, highlighting their burst DPS and fire rates. The presenter mentions the Heartseeker BLK turret as a strong contender for burst DPS, while also discussing the Deadbolt series and other options like the Tiger Strike and Shredder. They stress the importance of total damage capacity, given the limitations of rearming during combat in the game. The video outlines different loadout configurations, such as using all Deadbolt weapons or combining them with other ballistic options.
The presenter then showcases several loadouts through gameplay, demonstrating their effectiveness in combat situations. They compare the performance of different combinations, such as using the Shredder versus the Tiger Strike, and discuss the trade-offs between burst DPS and total damage. The gameplay highlights the strengths and weaknesses of each loadout, allowing viewers to see how different setups perform against various enemy ships.
In conclusion, the video wraps up by summarizing the advantages and disadvantages of the various ballistic loadouts tested. The presenter encourages viewers to consider their own preferences when selecting weapons for the Super Hornet MK II, as the best loadout ultimately depends on individual playstyle and combat scenarios. They invite viewers to share their favorite loadouts in the comments, fostering community discussion and engagement.
