Elite: Dangerous gameplay video shows off surface vehicle in action

Frontier Developments posted an hour-long live stream showing off Elite: Dangerous first gameplay of the Surface Recon Vehicle (SRV) in action. The video takes us onto a rocky planet where we can witness one of these vehicles speeding across the planet’s surface, making jumps, barrel rolls, and all sorts of stunts. What the video does not show is combat, but we know it will be possible too, as the “buggy” is equipped with a stationary turret and a shield.

SRVs are going to appear in Elite: Dangerous in a DLC called Planetary Landings. This last year’s successful space-sim is going to receive a couple of gameplay expansions later in the future, packed under the common title Elite: Dangerous - Horizons. Some elements of pack will be released gradually, starting this December.
