Hello i am SquidofLove welcome back,
2.6 changed everything we knew
regarding weapons in star citizen,
everything is different, their range, their
projectile velocity and their damage and this
is of course in order to fit more with
the new flight model, the new and
slower SCM speeds in the game. Something
that remains the same is the shield
penetration of the ballistic weapons which
makes them one of the best if not the
best option for offensive loadouts with
some of course notable laser
exceptions. So we will start taking a
look at all the weapons in all the
different size categories in order to
understand which are the best for us,
which suit our playstyle the most and
which will be the best to use in order
to create our loadouts. In this video
we are going to focus on the size 1
weapons and we are going to take a quick
look at their new stats and capabilities.
Let's start with the laser weapons of
the size one category and the m3a laser
cannon which has the best projectile
velocity in this size one category at
2185 m/s, its range is at 1748 meters
and its damage is at 65, a decent
starter laser cannon for new players
that want to learn the ropes of
combat in star citizen with modest
damage per projectile, the cost of
renting an m3a laser cannon from the
electronic access part of the store is
at 400 REC right now.
Next one is the CF-007 Bulldog
repeater, a weapon, a laser weapon with a very
good, very high rate of fire, currently the
best rate of fire in the size 1 category
but low damage per projectile, the
projectile velocity is a 2090 m/s, its
range is at 1463 meters and its damage is
only at 30, this is a very good weapon if
you want to combine it with other high
rate of fire weapons and create a high dps
loadout, a more spray and pray
option.
The cost of renting one CF-007 Bulldog
repeater is at 800 REC. The Omnisky III is
the last laser weapon in this category and
it is considered as a more balanced
approach than the other
two lasers, it has more damage at 85
than the other two but its rate of fire is
not as good.
Its projectile velocity is at 2090 m/s, its
range is at 1672 meters and because
it is considered a better more
balanced option its cost is at
1200 REC. A laser weapon for slightly more
experienced players that want to create
a more potent laser loadout. The
9-series Longsword is the only
ballistic weapon in the size one
category and in my opinion the best option
out of all these weapons simply because
it has that shield penetration, that means
that you can directly damage the hull
of your enemies without having to wait
for their shields to go down,
it also has the best range in this
category at 1932 meters, its projectile
velocity is decent at 1410 m/s and its damage
is at 85 the same with the Omnisky III,
another great advantage of this weapon
is its low cost in REC since it will
cost you only 400 REC to rent one,
definitely a great and affordable option
for new and experienced players if
you are looking to create an offensive
loadout. The NN-13 neutron cannon now has the
best damage in the size 1 category but
I can't really recommend it, i don't really
like the way it works in 2.6 and this is
because it also has the worst projectile
velocity at 760 m/s, its damage is at
95, not the 138 that
it used to be before 2.6 so it
only deals 10 more damage than the
Omnisky III and the longsword, the
9-series longsword, also it has slightly
worse rate of fire, for these reasons i
can't really recommend it, i don't really
like how it works now,
its range is at 1626 meters, it has
increased obviously because of the new SCM
speeds and its cost in REC is at
800, a shotgun like weapon that is
less shotgun like now with 2.6
and I can't
really find any use for it anymore. And
for the end i left the suckerpunch
distortion cannon, a weapon with good stats
but with a catch, it doesn't deal hull
damage, so despite the fact that it has
110 damage you cannot destroy your
opponents, this weapon is mostly used
to disable your targets, since it drains
energy from them and let your
teammates or you, yourself if you want to
board them and try to steal their ship,
try to steal their cargo, its projectile
velocity is at 2005 m/s, its range at
1584 meters and the damage, like we
have said at 110, a
distortion type of damage
it is not available in the electronic
access part of the store so you cannot
rent it with REC but it comes with the
Avenger so this is why i have included it in
the size 1 weapons. These were the size 1
weapons in the 2.6 update, my personal
favorite is the 9-series longsword, a
ballistic weapon because of course of
its shield penetration and this means
that you will be able to deal damage to
your targets without waiting for their
shields to go down first
but the Omnisky III and the bulldog
repeater are some good laser
alternatives that you can use if you want
to create a potent laser loadout that
is based either on good damage or
high rate of fire.
