Armored Core Six

[tranquil magnet]

Not on anything that had more armor than your basic MT ;p

[gloomy umbra]

Well okay technically I used it as a harassment weapon and to keep stun up BUT THE POINT STANDS!

It worked perfectly for almost every mission.

Except for any mission with C weapons.

……. Okay I think I see your point.

[gloomy umbra]

Fool. assault boosts

[dreamy light]

**me quietly loving my lazer pistol plus lazer drone build

[regal flower]

Funnels I wish I could use them more

[gloomy umbra]

I hate the drones. So inaccurate and expensive.

[dreamy light]

Call it the lazer goblin so I'm sniffing your butt the while fight. So inaccuracy don't matter

I can go further back too

[gloomy umbra]

fair enough. my personal build is a nasty midranger which, while not the greatest at anything, is really annoying.

I love nasty midrangey builds.

specifically its the doubled plasma launcher, the T2 AR, T2 moonlight, and a wormkiller for finishing and or emergency stunning.

it can basically fight everything the game has to offer for the most part.

Id try to refine it further but uhhhh..... well its pushing the limit of basically all its parts and I really like it so theres not a lot I can do further.

I need to make a proper PvP build though.

[split stream]

I would have expected it to be faster tbqh

[gloomy umbra]

welp.

god damnit.

I mean DAFANG does have their slogan, wide trunk, slim branches, and that waifu does in fact follow that pretty exactly.

although can we please get her some more covering attire? I feel like she'd be cold in that.

[pulsar oak]

asking for a different outfit on an idol is gonna end up with less, not more

[gloomy umbra]

.......

I hate the internet.

[pulsar oak]

You'd need it to be like, winter-themed or something instead.

[gloomy umbra]

you say that and yet.

Ive seen things Aklyon.

Im just saying maybe we can get her a cloak, or a long sleeved shirt, or a bra that actually fits her.

something.

she's very clearly uncomfortable.

[tranquil magnet]

This is the second time I’ve seen that design and the first was significantly more clothed

Or at least better fit

[gloomy umbra]

well thats..... better at least.

[gloomy umbra]

well I basically never do this, and I have no idea how the decal work goes, buuuut this is my attempt at making an aldnoah zero kataphract.

Im honestly happy with it.

despite the lack of decals.

scratch that fixed it.

slightly blockier chest!

the distressing part to me is that it actually is reasonably functional as a mech.

probably because of the 6 giant lasers on its back, buuuuuut I chose those for athstetics first.

[dense zealot]

Other people like Aldnoah Zero! YAY

[gloomy umbra]

YAY!

never really understood why that show got the hate it did.

it was a fine generic mecha show.

[flint sedge]

I blame Slaine being a dick

[gloomy umbra]

honestly fair.

but it did let maincharacter smartypants mc dude get a roboeye.

so honestly worth it?

[dense zealot]

Honestly it was kinda refreshing. Sure it was generic but was nice seeing a competant MC that thought their way through things.

[gloomy umbra]

ya

smart characters are a bit too rare these days.

[regal flower]

Hmm Armored Core seems to have crashed my graphics drivers during the ice worm fight

Both of my screens have gone black

[tranquil magnet]

I'm enjoying going back through AC6 and crushing missions for S-ranks
The pile bunker is good for this for a specific reason
It does so much damage in one shot that if you time it right enemy AC pilots can't use a repair kit before they die so you basically deny them their second healthbar :P

[gloomy umbra]

I really should probably at some point learn pile bunker, but ehhhhhhhhhhhhh..... I like my stabby sticks.

[regal flower]

Wow, the Michigan mission is really annoying

[regal flower]

https://youtu.be/3dzlAThnIrQ

[gloomy umbra]

Dear god

[gloomy umbra]

Shoguns and worm killers.

[tranquil magnet]

You'd actually probably want a melee weapon (since no ammo consumption), abusing your boost kick, and some weapons with good ammunition capacity

The stun needle launcher actually doesn't have a ton of ammo for it's fire rate

[regal flower]

For all those MTs???

[tranquil magnet]

I'm going to be trying to S-rank it soon enough and the plan right now is just
A laser dagger for the fast recharge and no ammo use (or laser sword for wide sweeps)
maybe one of the ARs now that those are buffed to usability since they have good ammo count
and some of the rockets with more ammo for when the boss comes

[gloomy umbra]

Yes. Legitimately that’s how I s ranked it.

Single shot per MT, burn down Mich, return to single shot/worm killing MTs.

[gloomy umbra]

It’s less for the MTs, more for killing Mich.

I’m happy to tell y’all how I S ranked things.

TLDR: 99% of the time it was shotguns and worm killers.

It’s kinda depressing how effective that combo is.

[tranquil magnet]

Well they're presumably going to keep making patches so other options are as effective :P
that said it's kind of a consequence for requiring speed for S-ranks

If you wanna go fast you need to be aggressive
And shotguns are good for balls to the wall aggression

[gloomy umbra]

the issue with S ranks right now, is that they value basically JUST speed.

when I personally argue they should account for more.

because you can be 99% dead by the end of a mission and be nearly completely out of ammo, but if you did it fast enough you're fine.

which I think is SILLY, in a game that charges you for repairs and ammo costs.

if Im able to do something cheaply and with little to no damage, I should be able to take my time a bit more.

[regal flower]

Still not over it

I forgot you can go into photo mode during missions!!!!!

To do list: get some higher res photos of this

[regal flower]

Only slightly better really

[gloomy umbra]

Still pretty

[regal flower]

Getting closer

Underneath it, in that pit in the second picture

[gloomy umbra]

Rad

[regal flower]

I need a picture of the other side of it, so I'll have all the references I'll never need

The Back side

Now I can save all these to my phone

[gloomy umbra]

Nice

[regal flower]

I never took a side picture, I'm a failure

[gloomy umbra]

[regal flower]

Trying Michigan again, this time with plasma, I forgot how ridiculous it was after I switched to Zimmerman

Still probably going to have to take a second try to figure it back out

[gloomy umbra]

I really

Seriously

Reccomend shotties and worm killers

Trust

It just works

[regal flower]

The Worm killers are too heavy

My brother apparently S ranked it with plasmas

[gloomy umbra]

Dude I’ll send you my build.

Once I get home.

[regal flower]

Oh apparently I need his laser pistol too

[gloomy umbra]

Laser pistol? The hell are you doing pnad,

[regal flower]

Not me my brother

[gloomy umbra]

Get the medium or heavy reverse jointers, get the 108 range shotguns, and 2 worm killers, rain hellfire.

[regal flower]

I swear he's insane, he's been using the same build since the start of the game, and he 100% with it

[gloomy umbra]

Well I mean….

Technically I’ve basically done the same.

Slowly upgrading one build.

Only S ranking or money farming made me reconsider.

[regal flower]

My controller turned off in the middle of the fight again

[gloomy umbra]

That’s cruel.

Use mouse and keyboard.

It’s better.

[regal flower]

Look at this

This is his build

That he 100% the game with, just this

[gloomy umbra]

Yeah? It’s a good build.

That chest is one of the best mid weight energy producers, the tool arms…. Eh they’re good for what they are, not enough weapon skill for me but good pick, mind alpha legs are excellent midrange, and his weapon choices are very good.

He lacks a proper finisher but the rest is solid. I can see it working well.

His choice of head could be better. One of the heavier ones with better scan distance preferably.

I might have spent a lot of time in the garage that I know things I probably shouldn’t

[regal flower]

Here's my bonkers build that's trying to balance aesthetics with function

[gloomy umbra]

For the love of everything unholy STOP USUNG THE RED ENGINE!

THEY SUCK

[regal flower]

NEVER

[gloomy umbra]

USE DAFANG

DAFANG MAKES THE BEST ENGINES

[regal flower]

They all give me EN shortfall

[gloomy umbra]

Otherwise solid build.

[gloomy umbra]

Get a better chest

Chest effects output

Either the big nose like one, or the little tiny baby one that Ayre likes.

Both give the best energy output

They will work with DAFANG.

Your use of MG disappoints me.

But I understand

Love the paint job.

Allmind arms good pick for mixed melee ranged. Smart cookie.

[regal flower]

Got the mission with double worm killers and a laser pistol, couldn’t get anything heavier

This Pulse Cannon looks really cool

That's what it looks like when it's Overheated

I really hate Rusty's Melee weapon

[gloomy umbra]

here. build I murderized mich with.

you can in fact, fit all the big murder sticks on a single tiny robit

[regal flower]

I don't have the Alba yet

[gloomy umbra]

then use a different chestplate.

Im pretty certain there are roughly 2 others that should work

[regal flower]

Tried out Keyboard in the Tester, might like it, also there might be a glitch with controlelr that causes frame drops

[gloomy umbra]

really? funky.

[regal flower]

Ibis is still annoying

[gloomy umbra]

yup

oh wait you mean nerfed IBIS?

what did the nerf even do?

[regal flower]

Don’t know, but I got it with missile spam and the whip

[regal flower]

If I were to nerf it I'd just give it less health since it ||resurrects anyway||

[tranquil magnet]

I ended up doing it with mostly my usual redshift/pilebunker on the left and a big missile launcher and an assault rifle on the right
Effectively left side for the grunts and the melees for the AC and Tetrapods

[regal flower]

She's so difficult but so cool

NG+ done, on to NG++

[spiral blaze]

still have yet to finish game let alone ng+

[tranquil magnet]

Me, having completed ++ and working on S-ranks:

[regal flower]

Killed the secret machine at the beginning of the game, just so Allmind knows she ain't slick

Here's the side profile of the ship I forgot to take earlier

[pulsar oak]

https://youtu.be/h9a0KqmvS4w?si=4reoIMzFGYze_9BB

[gloomy umbra]

Me, having completed ++ and S ranked everything:

[gloomy umbra]

hell of a meme build given that you get all of that around the end of a campaign meaning you can already completely body ballyman, but quite fun killing bally with bally tactics.

Id reccomend shotguns and songbirds for first time kills.

yes my answer to everything for a first time kill is going to be shotguns and some heavy duty weapon on the back.

because doing it other ways is significantly harder.

[pulsar oak]

Its even a meme with a theme: Destroy the missile orb by becoming the missile orb, because magic must defeat magic.

[gloomy umbra]

[tranquil magnet]

You say that like it’s a bad thing ;p

[split stream]

Aye. It's normal.

I dont believe anything I just said was a negative.

I merely said its started

[split stream]

Ah, fair.

[dreamy light]

oh yeah there is spicy art out now too. we have hit the waifu stage of fannon

[tranquil magnet]

I like the variety of interpretations of basically every character

(Except Allmind
Everyone took that one design and ran)

[flint sedge]

full on Usain bolted it

[gloomy umbra]

It was a really good design.

[astral cliff]

So they nerfed the balteus filter?

I might reinstall then

What actually were the nerfs?

[regal flower]

No idea

Haven’t actually fought Balteus after the nerf

[regal flower]

https://www.tumblr.com/frostfangalphabitch/728402208484392960/fucking-gargantuan

The before and after picture

You get the before picture in NG++

[tranquil magnet]

The big ones are the missiles don’t track as well
And adjusted hitboxes on the flame swords in phase 2

I think the missiles also do a bit less damage but less sure

[weary kayak]

It's also a bit harder for the bosses to stun lock you in an long combo

[gloomy umbra]

oh deamn. that kinda..... went boom.

[gloomy umbra]

Ah. Another joins us at the peak. Congratulations.

[split stream]

Grats Twin!

[turbid spire]

Not mine

[gloomy umbra]

Everything except the weapon loadout I like

That weapon choice needs some work

I mean WM absolutely uses the pile driver but the rest….

It don’t feel right.

[astral cliff]

WM?

[turbid spire]

Waste Management

[flint sedge]

Waste Management, BIG garbage company over here in the East Coast at least

[turbid spire]

US company that deals in garbage. Mostly big dumpsters

Big green dumpsters

One city I lived in used them for the municipal citizenry disposal

:{

Though now that I've actually looked for a picture I realize they got the colors wrong

But that's what happens when you do stuff from memory 😛

[gloomy umbra]

And west coast.

[gloomy umbra]

Actually basically any dumpster.

They own the garbage trucks round here.

[flint sedge]

Reading thier wiki page, wasn't sure how big they actually were

[gloomy umbra]

Fair

[astral cliff]

I see

So it's an american company that i hadnt heard of

gotchaaa

[turbid spire]

That's fine

It's not a mortal sin to not be from the US

[gloomy umbra]

if anything its a good thing.

dont come here.

we're terrible.

[gloomy umbra]

those certainly are her two moods.

[hallow valve]

I know I’m like a month late to this thread but I will say I beat the first run by like day 2

Also Balteus was fun before his nerf very good fight

[weary kayak]

He's still fun

his nerf was barely a nerf

I didn't even notice the nerf because I was already pretty good at using the missle attacks to power charge, thus avoiding them by default

[hallow valve]

I remember beating him on my second or third try it was a great feeling

[weary kayak]

yeah

with From Software, it's always going to end up being at least a second or third try with bosses

[gloomy umbra]

..... I mean.... well......

I did first try a decent few bosses.

or tactically die to a few to change my loadout when not going for S ranks.

but yes.

[tranquil magnet]

It was mostly chapter end bosses that took me a lot of tries

Regular mission bosses I usually was fine

(Except for the Worm I did that one like first or second I think?
And Ch4 end was only like three or four
Balteus, Sea Spider, and the Fires of Raven and NG++ route final bosses were the ones that roughed me up)

[hallow valve]

I did one try some of the other chapter bosses

[gloomy umbra]

……… look that happened ONE TIME

[turbid spire]

I assault boosted away then turned around to watch it fall down

[gloomy umbra]

I DIDNT KNOW IT WAS GOING TO CAUSE INSTANT DEATH

[turbid spire]

It's like 50x bigger then you!

If a small building fell on you wouldn't that kill you?

[gloomy umbra]

I mean

well

technically

I mean

how long after collapsed buildign are we talking being alive?

because I think I could last a good few hours with a building on top of me

Im just saying, maybe, it shouldnt ahve done damage

[turbid spire]

Well, in that situation, how long do you think it'd take folk to come dig you out from under STRIDER?

[pulsar oak]

That sounds like someone gets hired to excavate you and it gets added to your mission expenses

[turbid spire]

The first folk getting there are looking for loot, not survivors

Also, I don't think whatshisname is gonna pay to send folk after you when you just suddenly go radio silent

[astral cliff]

i beat balteus

yey

only took a google search to find a decent build for the BALTI-NO-MORE

and a couple hours of headbashing prior

[regal flower]

https://tenor.com/view/balteus-armored-core-armored-core-6-gif-4316124645116062084

[astral cliff]

gotta say

the friggin bubble guns are annoying. I hate em

but theyre the best way to melt pulse armour

[regal flower]

Yep

[astral cliff]

also whats the MK button to use your own pulse armour? I had it equipped the whole time but id forgotten the keybind

[regal flower]

If you’re on keyboard I don’t know

But on controller you hold Y and press in the stick

I think

This stuff gets stored in my subconscious so I can’t access it easily

[pulsar oak]

I think it was R plus a button

[gloomy umbra]

points at pulse blade

Your basic sword, does the same bonus damage

Also: shotguns.

But yea. Congrats many fold para!

||no one tell para about the liberation endings penultimate boss||

[pulsar oak]

Two laser cannons also are good at tearing holes in it

[gloomy umbra]

yeah but they dont get bonus damage

also why just ave 2 laser cannons when you coul dhave 6

[pulsar oak]

because I only had two to fight it with at first :p

[gloomy umbra]

yeah those triples are endgame weapons

Im just being a lil gremlin

[regal flower]

I forgot about that

[gloomy umbra]

Yeah ||balteus round two.||

[hallow valve]

Where did you find that generator, haven’t had a gen give me more then 3/4th bard of en load

[gloomy umbra]

Gen output is determined by chest

Well it’s multiplied

So that gen is just a late game store gen

[hallow valve]

i see

ok thank

[gloomy umbra]

That chest is a postgame chest

Happy to help

[hallow valve]

ive done all 3

[gloomy umbra]

Well go have fun now

And read what your parts do

[hallow valve]

lol read

[gloomy umbra]

Fair

[pulsar oak]

https://fxtwitter.com/Exoskellet/status/1712540199274819957

[gloomy umbra]

hm...... yeah fair enough

except again, the Zimmerman is only good against unthinking opponents

like AI

[turbid spire]

Now

My understanding is until the last patch it was the PvP meta

Like, the whole meta

[pulsar oak]

Which made it very easy to get kills if you had anything resembling a counter from the videos I'd seen.

[tranquil magnet]

To be fair
If it's something you basically have to build against
That's still OP

[gloomy umbra]

....... no there was a very easy counter to it.

dont be stupid.

The zimmerman has next to no range.

play mid to long range, dance away from them, harrass, and dont get greedy.

its a one trick weapon without a lot of ammo

Shotguns like it work against UNTHINKING opponents

so if you have a functioning brain and can react to seeing your opponents loadout you will do fine.

they can assault boost, but not for long. those machines are made for immense bursts of speed, and then not a lot after.

also given that they want to be fast and close the distance, they have almost no resistance to being stunned and then gunned down.

theres counter play.

its called using your brain, understanding how the parts system works, and playing around that.

Identify your foes weaknesses, understand your build, and never be a one trick pony.

Were they oppressive and rediculous against low experience players? of course!

So its good they were edited, but uhhh, god help people going for S ranks in missions now.

A weapon like that is a massive crutch, and it makes you VERY tunnel visioned.

Its like people with bonk sticks in souls like PvP.

they need one clean hit. so don't let them get it.

slice them down with death by a thousand papercuts.

[spiral blaze]

And here I was playing with the gattlints not liking shotguns

Mostly cause of the amount count

[gloomy umbra]

exactly. there are far more varried threats than a cheap one shot shotgun build

[spiral blaze]

Though most of my builds are weird so

[gloomy umbra]

I literally went in with a meme Aldnoah Zero build and won multiple matches with it.

[spiral blaze]

I still have yet to finish chapter 3

[gloomy umbra]

this game has a LARGE ammount of skill expression through your builds, and your moment to moment decision making.

[gloomy umbra]

beat the game a few times and your builds will refine themselves into a form you will be proud of.

[spiral blaze]

Haven't been home long enough to play

[gloomy umbra]

yeah

either way, AC6 is a game of skill expression. one opressive shotgun will not change that especially when its counter is playing smart.

[spiral blaze]

Never said I wasn't proud of them they're just weird

[gloomy umbra]

oh Pagan.

come back to me in 50 hours.

you will shun your old builds

[spiral blaze]

Your probably right but that's gonna be a few months away at this rate

I think the last thing I unlocked was the beefier jumping legs and it's my beloved

[gloomy umbra]

ah yes. beloved beefy jumper legs.

[spiral blaze]

Jumping is my favorite movement thing to do

[gloomy umbra]

the best legs in the game

there are only 3 types of jumpers in the game

small medium and large

medium is an endgame one

so uhhhh

have fun!

[spiral blaze]

Do parts unlock in random orders?

[regal flower]

No

[gloomy umbra]

nope

set locations and unlock points

[spiral blaze]

Interesting

[regal flower]

@ebon aurora here

[spiral blaze]

Might explain why I haven't gotten a new head in a long time

[ebon aurora]

Didn't see it.

Either way doesn't matter

It's genes. Probably. This is my usual rationalisation for losing. Moba leets are right about that.

[gloomy umbra]

use shotguns and songbirds.

[gloomy umbra]

its really not.

[ebon aurora]

Like that'll break pulse armor before you run out of ammo.

[gloomy umbra]

Balteus is just a nasty filter.

[gloomy umbra]

it does.

[spiral blaze]

I beat it with two starter rifles

[ebon aurora]

Your words not mine. Filter. For players.

[gloomy umbra]

you dont need the stupid bubble guns

[ebon aurora]

Yeah I do.

[pulsar oak]

I'm getting my pic

[gloomy umbra]

Meerkat can I see your build please?

[ebon aurora]

Because I can't consistently break his armor.

[spiral blaze]

Do you not have the pulse shock thing

[ebon aurora]

Can't. Shut the PC and waiting for irl thing. Maybe later.

[gloomy umbra]

I see

well. if you ever feel like it, show me your build, and how much of the shop you have bought out

[ebon aurora]

Ok.

It's the flamethrower and the massive missle attack that kills me.

Not that it means anything.

[pulsar oak]

The missiles you dodge forwards

[gloomy umbra]

The flamethrower is a cheap gimmick. dodge forward.

The missiles are also, a cheap gimmick. dodge forward.

[spiral blaze]

The mod where you explode

[ebon aurora]

Don't think so.

[spiral blaze]

I don't remember the name but it worked well for me

[ebon aurora]

I was considering resetting my OS tuning anywau

[gloomy umbra]

Get that, its basically the best one possible

Anything that balteus throws at you, dodge forward. never back or to the side. stick close, keep the pressure up, and dont use the bubble guns. Please. They're a noob trap.

[pulsar oak]

I'd spent a few hours trying to fight pre-patch Balteus with my quad because it worked well otherwise. Came back the next day and slugged it out with the ch1 tank treads, laser cannons, pulse sword, and the charge rifle.

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/486993298335203369/1149407936842576003/20230907134035_1.jpg?ex=653aad0f&is=6528380f&hm=408ac69a120ab8f2a9d2713c7e478ffa2fc2a932b56a0fe209cfef7ca227af40&

You very much can brute force Balteus if you can dodge.

[gloomy umbra]

yup. the twin giant lasers work wonders, along with whatever big beat stick you can fit in your hands.

I forget does Mega have miniguns yet?

or is that a chapter 2 thing.

[spiral blaze]

I managed to beat it with two of the starter bust fire gun I don't know how but that's pretty much all I had for guns

[ebon aurora]

I don't think they're in the store yet.

[gloomy umbra]

alright.

[pulsar oak]

Theres the starter mg, does that count

[ebon aurora]

I did get some stagger damage with that thing.

So that's something.

I'm keeping the bubble gum for this mission with pulse blade because I can't consistently get it's pulse armor down without it. I don't have any alternative pulse weapons. Nor do I think there's any mores in the store yet.

[gloomy umbra]

there arent.

it will only ever be the bubble gun (awful) its upgraded varient (barely passable) and the pulse blade

the pulse blade is all you need

[pulsar oak]

One of my best quadleg attempts was having both swords equipped (one in hand, one stored in shoulder)

[gloomy umbra]

also if those are your primary weapons, where the hell are you getting your main damage from.

[spiral blaze]

Those are just tech weapons mostly

Though I'm not the biggest fan of swords

[pulsar oak]

The swords are great for pummeling but if you whiff you could've been shooting something

[gloomy umbra]

which is why you use assault boost to get in kissing range first.

[spiral blaze]

The only one I've had any real success with was the (piledriver?) Big in your face spike

[ebon aurora]

Liniar shoulder gun and a starter rifle on right shoulder thanks to weapons bay upgrade from OS tuning.

[pulsar oak]

Linear rifle can do good damage ye

[gloomy umbra]

alright, well, Im off for the night, hope Aklyon and Pagan can help

[pulsar oak]

cya gurm

[spiral blaze]

Night

Though not sure how much help I can be really

[pulsar oak]

Also, assault armor isn't good for just chunking the pulse shield

If you time it right or are lucky with mixing up buttons you can force it to stagger again quickly to tear into phase 2 more

A lot of the damage I took at the end was just going fuck it and charging in to kick the damn thing so I wouldn't be dead out on cannon ammo before one last stagger

[astral cliff]

Grumbo

Any tips for sea spider boss at chapter 2?

[regal flower]

Get in it’s face

Under its legs

Don’t let it escape

[pulsar oak]

Avoid the beam too

[hallow valve]

Pile driver

[gloomy umbra]

Stay in the air above it. Stick close.

That’s how I’ve always beaten it. Airtime.

Most of its big attacks are large ground based AOEs

[tranquil magnet]

...Well that helps a little bit but some specific conditions would be nice

"Make this much money in this much time" maybe

[gloomy umbra]

thats NONSENSE.

NO

THATS OBJECTIVELY WRONG

I swear these idiots dont even know their own system.

Do any of you remember how I S ranked everything?

[pulsar oak]

I was about to say Gurm would show up too give better details and there they appear!

[gloomy umbra]

certain missions have their own hidden objectives, but mostly, MOSTLY, ALMOST ENTIRELY, its speed.

damage taken? who cares.

Ammo spent? not an issue.

all that matters is speed.

do it quickly. do it well.

I have spent every single med kit in most missions, done it ludicriously fast, and still got top marks

hell there are some, like the michigan mission, where I was basically out of ammo at the end, and 90% dead.

still got S rank.

The game is just lying to you.

just objectively.

Its a speed game. nothing more. nothing less.

do note there are some leniancies if you are going for bonus objectives like the kills for battle records.

but besides that.

its speed.

the few with their own special objectives are a bit funky but mainly its "make the special dialogue appear" EXCEPT for in ||the mission where you have to be a walking advertisement, in that one, its literally just go fast.||

look

if any of you want actual help on S ranking things.

just ping me.

Ill be happy to give builds and routes.

the builds are by the way almost always 2 zimmermans and 2 worm killers.

although with the zimmer changes no idea if thats still viable.

honestly probably

Sorry about massive rant. I just dont like when games lie to you to your face when explaining how their own systems work.

[tranquil magnet]

can't tell if they've buffed the enemies for it being co-op or the pov player is just very bad in this first section

[gloomy umbra]

no thats accurate damage

turst me

I know

those turrets are NASTY

legitimately. killed so many of my runs for S ranks.

[tranquil magnet]

Huh

[gloomy umbra]

Aw hell maybe

[spiral blaze]

Now I'm waiting for someone to make a ac moba

Imagine hot swapping parts mid match as your trying to take lane

[gloomy umbra]

THING THAT WAS DISTINCTLY NOT MENTIONED

NEW PARTS

SHINYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

or maybe not

ya know

I think the post is poorly worded

because so for the update post

theres the trailer

but then there is ALSO a section describhing the update.... but then after like 2 bullet points it becomes the generic AC6 bullet points?

who wrote this post.

ah whatever Ill finish updating and give the actual deets of hte situation

its proper new parts.

TLDR: 2 new hand weapons (laser missile laucnehr and heavy LMG) 2 new shoulder parts (big cannon and big laser), and a new set of schnider body. thats it. not a whole lot.

essentially its proper heavier schnider gear.

which did NOT exist before now, which was really weird given basically every other manufacterer had T2 gear or heavier equivilents

also the new schider body has a massive EN output increase while being fairly light. very important for certain builds.

[tranquil magnet]

The shoulder gatling cannon is important because it means you can have four gatlings

[gloomy umbra]

there is no shoulder gattling

its just another hand gattling

some in betweener weapon I think between the rapid fire hand weapons and the gau8 avenger we can equip

[tranquil magnet]

...My friend
There literally was a shoulder gatling gun in this update
I have made a build with it

[gloomy umbra]

wat

which one?!

I CHECKED EVERY WEAPON

I.... I give u-p

Im bad at my job of update reporting I geuss

damn

quad minigun sounds super fun

I officially have the dumbs

[gloomy umbra]

WAIT THAT WAS A GATTLING CANNON?!

I kinda saw dafeng and just assumed "oh yeah they make the big cannons NEXT"

Im great at my jobn
