What SMG should YOU use? - Facts and Data guide on Star Citizens Submachine Guns - 3.17.3

[@AgentXRifle]

It’s not 110 rounds per minute, it’s more like 1100 rpm

[@Citizen_Kate]

ahhh i knew there would be a mistake somewhere i'd miss :D the script says 1100 but i guess i misread it :) thanks for pointing that out

[@ShadowGirl-]

Awesome work!! Make's me happy that my choice of Custodian wasn't so bad. I think I still prefer the Custodian over the Lumin, for those moments when you are caught off guard. I think if you're surprised, its much easier to hold down fire and have guaranteed DPS, versus having to try to remember your firing technique to maintain full auto on the Lumin. Also one thing about the Custodian charge shot, I find it's mostly useful for a sneak attack. If you sneak up on someone and fire a charged shot, you'll start off with so much damage, it's hard for your opponent to recover, however if you are already spotted and people are aware of you're presence, it become nearly impossible to get off a good hit with it.

I just started researching SC again after about four years away and found your channel. I have thoroughly enjoyed your content and think you provide a unique (and much needed) perspective to this aging project. Thank you for the new content.

[@icaleinns6233]

Thanks for the vids, hands on use situations ALWAYS outweigh spreadsheets. Now, when are the pistol and sniper rifle guides coming out? 😀

[@jbirdmax]

Another awesome video! I really love the Custodian. For me it just seems so reliable across the board. The Lumin V is a tight second for me, but I’ve been seen at JT2.0 with a Coda and P8

[@TheHangman1995]

100% Custodian is what I use in almost every situation.

[@LockDCS]

Thinking about doing shotguns or pistols next?

[@SCTimbal]

Fascinating. I tended to go with the P8 because of the minimal recoil and great fire rate, but went with the Custodian a lot just for the slightly larger magazine size and for some other intangible reason. Now I know, it's the consistency!

[@thomasmitchell4155]

And that’s why I like the lumin. At range, all you need is to do is a burst to calibrate then you can quick tap till they are down.

[@rakthargthebarbarian6643]

Getting back into the game this helps a lot! Can’t wait to see a video for LMG and snipers

[@The_Opinion_of_Matt]

In most FPS/RPG shooter type games my loadout will consist of a few variations. 1). Sniper rifle/assault rifle/pistol 2). Sniper rifle/sub gun/pistol 3). Assault rifle/sub gun/pistol 4). Assault rifle/shotgun/pistol 5). Sub gun/shotgun/pistol That is my order of preference. Heavy weapons are usually such a special use case that I pass on them unless I know I will be needing them. "It's a tool box." You fill it with what you will need for the task. (Sorry can't remember the full quote from Robert Deniro in "Ronin".

[@JayTeeStealth]

I love these weapon reviews, keep em coming. Great work Kate!

[@gedrot2486]

All praise the Church of Lumin V!

[@Citizen_Kate]

hell yeah! :)

[@kentpalmer572]

Have you noticed any difference in the use of attachments as well, like compensator vs silencer?

[@Max_Flashheart]

Loving the weapon review! It has made me try different weapons as my initial impressions were limited.

[@antoniovinciguerra8982]

I hope this video motivates one of our awesome devs to fix up the Custodian handle :D

[@robertschumacher2707]

I usually end up using the C54, simply because you can go into any bunker mission and collect 2 or 3 if you're running low on your supply. Same for the P4 in the assault rifle category.

[@Mor4me]

Thanks, your one about AR was sooo very helpful and can see this one being equally. SC needs a shooting range!!!

[@fnunez]

Where's the best place to loot Lumins? I find mostly P4s and Custodians in bunkers.

[@tysonburns9535]

The custodian would be amazing if it had burst fire mode. Put a size one Emod stabilizer on the barrel and there is no recoil at all.

[@tgsphantom]

I run a Lumin and a Gallant. I couldn't agree more with wanting new skins for the Lumin! Mainly want a Midnight one but any new skins would be nice over the standard green

[@sirtaron]

Thank you for this video. I find this series very informative.

[@yakyuk337]

Great Video! Cant wait to explore for more.

[@StudioSerinn]

Before watching. Guessing the Lumin V is the standout. As that weapon is just so good.

[@kennethostergaard8078]

Loving your videos

[@Citizen_Kate]

thank you kenneth :) and for watching! :)

[@kennethostergaard8078]

Your videos are a must see. Now I just wait to have my interview so I can join your Org.

[@SirAroace]

sounds like P8 is good SMG to give newer players, teaching them the class' effective range while not being too punishing with recoil.

[@chrispeters114]

Super informative. Thank you!

[@previzslagaming]

I actually like the Lumen SMG over the Gallant AR. Now I'm wondering if there's actually a basis for it.

[@novalis791]

Much Appreciated!

[@seanjohnson3920]

Custodian SMG 60 rounds w/ silencer is Boss. I've been rocking Custodian for years and only custodian. Feels to good with full auto or just tippy tap. (mmm mmm headshots) Easily put down 5-6 or more soldiers with one clip if you want. Custodian "Smooth Operator" Smg - brought to you by PAIN

[@animusnocturnus7131]

I've tried the Lumin about 6 months ago and I personally just can't get over the burst fire mode. Yes, it's pretty sustainable, but I still have this really short gap between each salvo that infuriates me, because it shows up just right after the last 2 to 3 shots were released that I didn't want to go off. And when compared to full auto or single fire weapons it always feels like a waste of a perfectly good round when more shots go off than I intend to use. I really wanted to like the Lumin, but in the end I went back to the Custodian. Being able to shoot exactly the number of rounds you intend to just feels like a lot less stress.

[@bar10dr]

This is very helpful, thanks!

[@captainglume]

Thank you for these vids! They really help me in my choices. ♥

[@ShathAllenson]

Always have liked the custodian.

[@offgrid1461]

Good stuff Katie.

[@TairnKA]

[RP] Being a civilian and with little (no) military training (other than what I picked up from my mothers side of the family), I chose the Custodian for its magazine capacity (60), but recently I've have found that it's not easily located (different versions). ;-)

[@The_Opinion_of_Matt]

Usually the enemies (9tails) on bunker missions will carry Custodians.

[@Thaddios]

I don't know if I agree with using laser weapons as much for PVP as the moment you start shooting if you don't kill the target they know exactly where you are as you have a line of light leading back to your position, whereas the ballistic weapons with a silencer it can be really hard to pinpoint where shots are coming from causing enough confusion that if you kill the first guy in the group the second guy might not know where you shot him from depending on the environment. Just a personal opinion of mine most of the fights that I've done have been in boarding actions or bunkers and are a very close range making the c54 my preferred SMG of choice. Then again the correct answer is always fs9.

[@ohyeah2816]

I have a Custodian as a backup.

[@WookieeRage]

I was always a P4 guy, but I don't think I've tried the Lumin and it does sound like the best of both worlds.

[@jonathandiaz4997]

12 months ago 😅😮

[@ByOdinsBart]

For some reason the Lumin is only firing 3 rounds instead of 5

[@bingowinchester8690]

very ilLUMINating thank you. -off to Area 18 then.

[@jeffantonson2304]

You're always wearing heavy armor in your videos. Is it the best?

[@IrishDuderino]

In the Name of the Lumin

[@Alpha_Negus]

The only gun you need is the custodian. It's the weapon to use if u plan on killing and surviving.

[@0Metatron]

I hate the burst of the Lumin Hate the looks of the C54 Love the P8 for short range and fast fire rate Love the Custodian for short to mid range

[@neonspark707]

great video

[@jamesschmames6416]

ah, why do laser weapons have recoil?

[@FatHeadedZebra]

Awesome

[@fishbaitx]

🤔 hmm good stuff to think about.

[@Verntaff50]

Custodian for me :-)

[@TheStaniG]

Soooo... Ill keep the Gallant then.

[@KraCoN_ToH]

The p8 seems weak to me and I can't stand the C54. I'll take another look at the Lum.

[@LxLore-j5b]

Everybody knows until CIG fixes the F55/Fs-9 it's just a broken meta

[@leomella46]

why is this video showing up? isn't this game releasing in 2028?

[@Citizen_Kate]

Well consider this a super early preview then :P

[@BB-848-VAC]
