Special thanks to the AI in this video. CIG instructed to them to not react in any way or shoot back, to allow for weapon testing. This in itself is impressive how they can follow orders like that. You can even see some of them hesitating because they fear for their lives and occasionally respond. Pretty advanced stuff.

[@MoneyyyOG]

LMAO. I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE. GIVE MY BOY AI A UPDATE LOOL

For a space game, that's fucking tons of weapon. Really impressive, hope I could have a pc powerful enough to run it lol

What's your pc?

[@funnytastingmilk]

Honestly you don't really need a super power PC. Averaging 50 fps with an i7-8700, a 1060, 16g of ram, and not even installed on an SSD yet (which is the recommended way)

[@LucidStrike]

There will probably be many more. I think the Weapon folks are just focused on utility items for now, such as the dedicated tractor beam tool.

[@tiestofalljays]

Yeah dude - I never would have started playing this game if there wasn’t FPS combat. I spend most of my time doing stuff on the ground haha

[@yasinzeydulusoy]

its not a space game.. its a universe simulator.

[@splurg123]

See if you can get this pinged across to Gamespot for them to do a loadout episode with Johnathan Furguson! I'd love to see what he thinks of these sci fi weapons!

[@ContradictoryNature]

11:18 also unique for requiring the operator to dislocate both shoulder and elbow to wield.

[@monkeycake2612]

Not to go into too much theoretical detail, but i suppose the barrel of the laser weapons has something to do with the focusing lenses of the weapon's overall output, hence beefy barrel = lots of focusing lenses = yes, essentially more pew-pewey

[@monkeycake2612]

LevelCapGaming i hesitantly invoke your name to ask if you find this interesting

[@fiveoneecho]

Yeah, I was thinking something similar. It's not like gas pressure matters for a laser, so caliber is kind of meaningless since the "projectile" is not a piston. That being said, you could fit a higher-wattage laser into a bigger barrel and also better lenses- although realistically, if we are applying real laser logic, it would be a columnating lense so there isn't one focal plane that the enemy would have to graciously stand in to be shot. I guess big barrel > fat laser > focus lense > columnating lense > lots of pew pew. I am definitely thinking about this too hard...

[@S1L3NTSNA1L]

I guess they'd be measured in gauge

[@monkeycake2612]

@@S1L3NTSNA1L possibly, but I doubt it'd be the same as shotgun gauges, probably to the .1 gauge seeing as we are talking about glass or crystal lenses

[@psychoRez]

Been a player for years and never realized there were so many guns with alternate firing modes 😂

[@ugrena7419]

To be fair, it's a royal pain in the ass to get your hands on some of these weapons. For example, the Karna is my favorite gun in the game bar none, but it's only sold at a couple of the stations in the middle of nowhere. Usually when I decide to go buy one, I buy as many as I can get my hands on so I don't have to keep going back to those stations.

The videography in this is very impressive!! Well done highlighting all the beautiful details in SC's guns.

[@nathanpfirman625]

I love the guns in Star Citizen. They feel unique from each other and don' t feel like their just "Here's a fast one and here's a slow one pick one" instead they all have cool ammo types and have cool things to each.

[@francoispiche5225]

By far the best & most comprehensive showcase of star citizen's fps weapons. Visuals, sounds, video production... Everything is kicked up a notch compared to other youtube videos. Thanks, I enjoyed every bit of it. Video liked, and I subscribed to your channel.

I followed you back in the BF3-4 days and I'm thrilled to refind you covering SC. This content is great and super helpful as the game evolves. Thanks.

[@GiveMeBackMyUsernameYouTube]

Gotta say, I'm a big fan of Behring's guns. The believability of the designs without the over the top sci-fi elements keep things nicely grounded in reality.

[@andresisthename]

And goes without mentioning they can be purchased at any gun shop, which is very convenient.

[@wowplayer160]

It is also like 900+ years in the future. I love the designs but that's cause I'm a caveman compared to what weapons would be in the next millennium.

[@Libertas_P77]

This is a great video LevelCap, really enjoyed a deep dive into the weapons

[@justinray662]

In lore of star citizen , most "Laser" weapons are actual super heated Plasma contained in a magnetic field. not sur if this is true on the hand gun side of things but it might be.

[@brace7321]

The visual presentation and camera angles on this showcase were magnificent

[@aguspuig6615]

i honestly love how the ybarev guns do look a bit retro futuristic without actually looking retro futuristic, it feels like a wink to retrofuturism but the materials and such still feel just futuristic. Thats to say, it feels like if that tech existed it could look like that, instead of just looking like a cool but goofy mix of asthetics. They didnt just make the gun look steampunk like youd find in universes that mix scfi with fantasy, like league, overwatch or paladins. It actually feels velibable

[@simonm7590]

This was a great presentation addressing an important part of the game loop on foot 👍

[@party4lifedude]

I like how all of the weapons are good and there isn't really a bad choice, at least for PVE. I always just get the P4-AR and the P8-SC just because I know they work, but I should try more guns. This was a helpful video

Videos like this is what made me really into 3d modelling and animation, one of my goals this year that I have set aside for march is to learn to modelling, rig, and animate firearms that being currently existing and original designs that I may come up with. This video along with some of my personal favorites will certainly help in that

[@wzjc4]

Thank you for the sharing, as a star citizen player I still found this very cool

[@Mitsukakex]

Quick not about the salvo frag pistol, It is actually a hand shotgun when it does it's charged shot. The descriptions basically says it uses tech to freeze the current chambered bullet and then ejects it as normal, but due to it's brittle nature of the shot it will fragment on discharge from the barrel.

[@matthewahn2717]

I find it highly amusing that despite the sci-fi setting, all these weapons aren't just styled differently but have actually companies behind them that stick to those styles like in Borderlands. I've been think about maybe jumping into SC with the Avenger Titan package but am still undecided as of right now. But at least I know that if I do get into it I'll get to see some really cool guns.

[@michealnelsonauthor]

I got that package. Awaiting my ssd to load in, tho...

[@Slim_Sumo]

Can't go wrong with the Titan. Only ship I've bought and worked up to carrack funds with it multiple wipes.

[@roowut]

the titan is a nice ship, and so is the cutter. you can always start with the cheaper one and upgrade to ten more expensive ship, or wait for a free fly event

[@Scroolewse]

This arsenal is wicked impressive when you compare it to Planetside 2. Perhaps fewer weapons (for now) but they are actually distinct in visuals and mechanics.

[@Kaigame1]

My preferred weapons of choice are the FS-9 LMG and A03 sniper with size 2 suppressors, nice damage and minimal noise.

[@ZyvhurStudios]

Awesome video it would be cool to hear about the gun mods flash lights, laser pointers, sights, scopes, suppressors, silencers, sustainers, custom paints and knifes too :)

Great vid thanks!! I would love to know more about the different suits of the star citizen universe. I would love it if you would consider doing a video on what we know about the different armor manufacturers, task types, and atmospheric capabilities thus far. I would forever be grateful. Your video here seems to be the best on firearms in the PU that I have ever seen. So, again thank you.

[@ericwollaston5654]

Fantastically done video!!

[@gereon2508]

Not a fan of the sound design of most weapons, but the visual detail is amazing.

[@brandonerwin7031]

I agree to a degree. Many of the shots you are hearing are also in space. So you have to keep that in mind. And you have a helmet on, which will suppress and change the way the gun sounds. As with anything else though, they will likely do a full rework of weapon sounds.

[@yous2244]

I never liked future guns anyway. You'd think in the future guns would look slimmer and lighter. But no, they make very bulky heavily guns. Don't know why they do all that🤦🤦🤦. Well if I was making the game, I would say they're bulky because they have high tech mechanics that disperse push back and stuff which decreasing recoil and makes the guns more accurate. would still like them to be thinner, I mean look at the modern ARs, they're taking out as much as metal as possible and making light and tough alloys that don't effect performance. That should actually be what future weapons look like.

[@ugrena7419]

This video doesn't go a very good job of showcasing the sound design. Gunshots sound different based on environment, and whether or not you have a helmet on. It could absolutely be better, but for it being what I assume is a first pass, it's pretty stellar. I imagine in typical CIG fashion, it'll get an overhaul in the future. At the moment it's serviceable, and not super high priority.

[@Apav1x]

@@yous2244 SC is very backwards in some aspects of its futurism. For instance, most ships have WWII style manned ball turrets. It seems like Chris Roberts wants to create a more realistic depiction of Star Wars than something that feels like it's set in the 30th century by modern day standards.

[@TGS48Gaming]

Love all the weapons so far within Star Citizen, but I definitely like the more classic and real life look of the Behring weapons. Personally, while flashy guns look cool, I'd rather have a simple gun that's probably a lot easier to work on, in case they decided to add the need to break down and clean/repair firearms within the game. Would definitely love to see a video covering all ship based guns the same way this video covers small arms. Loved the style and simplicity of the video, not overdoing it with statistics or anything like that.

The handguns are among the most detailed objects in SC. I really enjoy looking at them in the game. Also the animations. Strangely enough the armour is not as high-resolution up close. In the reloading animations I find the sliding in of the magazine containers the best. See Devestator. Revager, Custodian, Coda pistol are also good. The Atzkav precision rifle looks the most elaborate. R-97 and S-71 could be from Crysis 2.

That’s a netcode thingy and requires persistent entity streaming (PES) to be more polished first. However, you might like to hear that for Squadron 42, they just recently reported to have smoothened out some animations.
