Honestly I blame souls like games for making armored core like this. I’ve tried every combination of items you can think of and read countless guides and watched many videos.

I just can’t get him past half HP on phase 2. I suck at games like this and I miss the old armored core games and games in general before souls like became popular. Fuck dodging mechanics and pattern recognition.

I bought this game when it came out and finally decided to get through it yeah I think I’m done lol I’m too terrible at games like this and I don’t have it in me to spend a century of my life practicing to be good lol and yes I usually play games on story mode lol

i thought it was just supposed to work like this... i played the whole game like this...

​

These are my final AC for NG+ (Green) and NG++(white) I got really comfortable with the machine guns and launchers.

I really enjoyed the alternate nissions and the changes to the story as i completed them. My first ending was "The fires of raven" so on NG+ i got to team up with rusty by the end of the run. Beating Snail was satisfying after two times being ambushed by him. But by this point i found iguazu even more annoying, he talks more than he fights and even sent an assassin to get me.

NG++ was crazy with the story changes but i personally remember more 2 moments.

1 Was fighting both Snail and Iguazu, as i said, i had a special hatred for iguazu at this point. He appears out of nowhere, runs his mouth, gets his butt kicked and refuses to die. I remember thinking after this fight "finally, these two should be gone for sure now" but oh i was wrong.

2 Is the final boss, mr "I want to die again" Iguazu along with all his new friends. The fight is great, he got me a few times during his second phase. I should have expected him to reincarnate.

What an amazing game, the boss fights were some of the best i've played. Using your very own AC tuned to your preferences, style and the enemies you fight is the best part for sure.

I lowkey toight i was going to get stomped real bad until he jus started following me without shooting lol

Well, that's video evidence of me being a stupid bastard for no reason. Now to take a small break so I don't shoot myself, before heading back into fighting Zinaida and hoping I DO shoot myself.

Studying my opponents' ACs each time I got my shit kicked in during pvp eventually landed me on this thing™ (feat. meta paw-pad placement). At this point I feel it's optimized enough that I'm mostly just dying to either skill issues or ping rather than any failures with AC design, but I thought I'd ask what people on here think. So, any thoughts? I'm still kinda unsure about the internals especially.

Hi, If you Saw the Post i made yesterday, i started AC1 and today i bought New legs and a machine gun after i sold the default weapon, now i can finally put the other back unit i had that launches better Missiles, i Also tried to copy the color scheme of Char's Zaku-II

So...yeah I finally got Verdict Day too, and I'm very happy about it. The game's a lot of fun.

Though...I have a small problem for my future canon run.

I CAN'T AIM FOR SHIT.

The AO4-VAMPIRE weapon arms have manual aiming, and if there's something that 3rd gen taught me with rockets, is that if something is moving, my aim becomes increasingly shittier.

Now, I don't have this problem with sniper cannons, but at least they zoom in.

Is anyone who used them willing to give me tips?

Stumbled upon this post, and I feel like this should include the actual range for those stats for context to be proper helpful. Being a MW is pointless if you have the boost/AB speed of a HW or the AP/stability of a LW, for example.

Dusty as hell once I opened it (it was used) but nothing appears broken or missing. I thought this model was always something you built. Finding a die-cast figurine in a shop was a shock to me. Now I just need to somehow track down the overlord unit to finish the load-out. This little guy begs to be complete.

when facing people in pvp I feel like melee attacks tend to hit me despite being nowhere near where the attack seems to be visually, is this just ping or are the hitboxes for some melee attacks much bigger than their visuals/do the hitboxes appear before the visuals would indicate so?

I tried to do something inspired by the imperial brazilian flag + some references to WWII brazilian soldiers. It's probably nothing compared to whatever you guys are making around here but I'm very happy with my cringe smoking cobra emblem :)

Ps: I'll probably post a lot here ( asking for help lol ) because unfortunately this game is totally overseen in my country :')

I'm working through the campaign for the first time and want to know any ways to improve my AC.

I recently got AC6 after I saw a video of a Gundam mod, and my only regret is not getting this game sooner. Even vanilla the movement and gameplay instantly felt like I was piloting a mobile suit, and with these mods it's just pure cinema

I just finished PvE S Rank.

The tougher fights like Allguazu and Snailteus, I used assault armor, bunk, lance, zimm, stun needle. It was fun learning how to land a charged pile bunker in an ultra combo that ends the fight in 10 seconds. But, it feels like a one-trick pony that ends fights before they really start, enabling me to win without truly learning the enemy's moves. There's not much interaction, just land combo, win.

What are some enjoyable builds for bringing down the big dogs that require paying attention to more than weapon timers?

The examples that come to mind are in AC1 and 6, respectively. They try to pull what I call the “Caesar’s Legion Fallacy”, where they have two sides that they desperately try to convince you are both equally bad and/or morally grey, despite one being obviously way, WAY worse. Fallout New Vegas tries to convince you that the aforementioned Legion are “morally grey”, despite them being misogynist rapist slave traders, and clearly worse than the NCR, who just want you to pay taxes.

FromSoft tries to pull this in the first Armored Core, where Chrome and Murakumo are played like equal entities, despite Murakumo being INFINITELY worse. Both corps have a terrorist cell under their command, but while Chrome makes easily-laser-bladed bioweapons, Murakumo is trying to BLOW UP THE PLANET AGAIN. One is clearly more villainous, no? Also Chrome makes cooler frame parts.

In AC6 they try it again with slightly more success with Balam and Arquebus. Both factions have endearing characters, cool designs, and a lot of personality. HOWEVER, the blocky part makers win this one again, with the Redguns (REDGUNS RULE) being portrayed as a rowdy, hootin’, hollerin’ family of badasses. The members (except for Wu Huahai, fuck you, y’traitor) are all likable, fun dudes with a great dynamic. That’s a 6-1 ratio of cool vs. not. (I’m counting Raven in there because we know nothing about Hakra, alas.) Arquebus and the Vespers, on the other hand, number only four, count ‘em, FOUR good folks amount them— Rusty, Pater, O’Keeffe and Hawkins. The rest are varying shades of bastardry, with Swinburne being a cowardly freak with a brainwashing fetish, Maeterlinck… just not being cut out for Vesperhood (too easily overwhelmed), Freud is a blood knight psychopath, and Snail is Snail. That’s an even 50/50! Balam wins on that front.

What the corps themselves do, however, Arquebus is once again, far worse. Balam hasn’t committed any atrocities that we know of, probably only the standard set of war crimes. Big Arq, on the other hand… the elephant in the room is naturally the “re-education”. The brainwashing. The removal of any and all humanity from a person. See also gross mistreatment of independent mercenaries, (two counts) gross mistreatment of one of their top assets, (one count) eleven trillion war crimes, and Snail.

I rest my case. I don’t wanna be all doom and gloom here though, as FromSoft absolutely succeeded at this in Last Raven with Alliance and Vertex. Neither are more monstrous than the other, with a perfect yin-yang of dickishness and fucktuckery.

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk :)
