Whether heading up a crew or hunting big ships solo, the Ares Inferno is a force to be reckoned with. This ballistic Gatling-equipped variant tears through gunship armor and turns smaller fighters to dust in seconds.

Stats from the Star Citizen 4.10.0 game files (build 4.10.193.11644, extracted Sep 22, 2026) with unp4k by Peter Dolkens. Quantum travel times follow Erec’s study.
