For Balty, my major tip is stay on its ass

All the enemies on that level have poor explosive resistance
And for some reason flamethrowers do explosive damage

explosive is kinda just a rename of Chemical damage from ACV/VD.
in those games there was a fairly sharp divide between Kinetic Energy, Chemical Energy, and Thermal Energy weapons
so it is a little odd that flamers would be reclassified into the second one, now that you mention it

I guess out of the 5 weapon archetypes in AC6, explosives is the one that fits flames the best

polar osprey
yeah it can be hard to make stuff that both looks unique and interesting and also functional
i've been personally trying to focus on the weapons first and using that to force a build to work in a certain way
it's lead to making really interesting builds
my favourite of which is Aperture Momentum
basically was forced to use almost every part of the body except the head
there was also one other possible torso that i could use, the Lammergeier one, but i preferred this one
there are no other arms or legs that will work with this loadout however so it was an interesting build to make work

Fair enough- I'm definitely having fun with it (Nightmare fodder, cuz I can't help it mnzxc) at least, ||retake the Dam from the PCA|| is definitely a bit of a pain, and it's a much lower pool of things you can use to clear every mission, so it's hard to do it without some adjusting to your build now and again, at least early on. The Turner for example, I find nigh useless, and stagger and mini-stagger becomes even more important to whittle down large groups and maintain crowd control. ||Retaking the Xylem/defense mission xylem|| is something I have yet to reach, but already it's looking like it'll need a lot of attempts to clear.
Ludlow (and duel Etsujin or something) has been pretty useful for it, the arm-gattling gun surprisingly less usable without a pair (also just feels like it'll run out of ammo more quickly for how much effect they have, and have maybe like 2-3x the ammo in a Ludlow, which has like 1280 ammo at least), I should try the Ransetsu RF if I can fit- the Laserblade actually gets pretty useful for how many enemies you can stagger with its charge-spin's range (I guess you could use an explosive/Songbird or Morley, but they feel less helpful in it), but pulse blade remains a mainstay, as usual, though every weapon with ammo-counts gets that boosted
I'm actually not sure if the enemy MTs are more aggressive or not? I can't remember basically

Tanks are just funky to fight
inland sluice
I find that they're sorta the easy fights
I can determine a lot about the fight cus I have the speed and maneuvering to control it and as long as I don't get hit I'm pretty good
Tanks tend to run kinda "I hit you with this thing and it kills you in 2 hits" loadouts I think I haven't played a lot lately so as long as I can just not get hit I'm good
wooden nimbus
I wanna try a tank just because I don't like being immediately stunned into an earshot shaving off all my AP
As cool as powerful guns are I don't really vibe with the idea that the giant war machines can be destroyed that fast
polar osprey
i personally found it very fun to use Morley's at short range
that's Aperture Momentum's thing
dual morleys, rush down the enemy and just fucking blast them
wooden nimbus
Nah I get that, especially from the side of the person shooting it
Just one of those "my AC is supposed to be a top of the line super mech that costs the annual GDP of a small planetary government and breaks physical laws just by turning, I don't think we'd keep making them that fancy if they can go down as fast as an MT" things
wooden nimbus
I don't want the bazookas and laser cannons to not be among the most damaging guns in the game
I just want to have to be hit more times than I do
They give is a two minute time limit and I'm already struggling to use half of it per round
This might also be because I'm an old ac head and didn't like 4

Loved V and VD
polar osprey
i've only played AC6 and For Answer personally
had a fun time beating all of the Collared Matches in FA with rockets
wooden nimbus
You know about the way the games handled in classic and V?
polar osprey
i've seen a bit about it, not too much
going from AC6 to FA certainly made me appreciate the controls a lot more
wooden nimbus
1-3 all boosting used energy and they didn't really have the quick boost, you'd just pulse your thrust to get the initial burst of acceleration and do a lot of bunny hopping to keep momentum
Much slower in general
polar osprey
iirc AC5 was significantly more grounded compared to 4/FA
and while 6 isn't even remotely near 4/FA it's probably faster than the other games i imagine
wooden nimbus
1-3 and 5 were all more "mechs are ground vehicles that can jump"
wooden nimbus
Yeah
quaint wharf
I haven't played in a long time but my go to was dual miniguns and then the triple lasers on the shoulders
wooden nimbus
And my brain went "but I don't want to be a plane" at 4
quaint wharf
miniguns rack up stagger and charged double shoulder will either kill or put them on the brink
quaint wharf
the other appeal of tanks is that there is a certain simplicity to playing them
polar osprey
i'm also hot garbage at actually playing the game
quaint wharf
"my goal is to get to range without dying, your goal is to keep me from doing that"
wooden nimbus
I like 6's speed but I wish it was more grounded (literally speaking)
polar osprey
turning also was a significant issue
lack of hardlock made turning significantly more important
unfortunately my brain does not like multibutton prompts so the instant turn thing you can do is not really something i can make good use of to mitigate
wooden nimbus
If you know that itch io demo mech game (hammer? Iirc) it has a very old ac feel to it
I dig that
polar osprey
which honestly makes it funnier that i managed to somehow get through the Collared Matches with rockets since they are manual aim
which i am awful at
like in AC6 i know there are benefits to using softlock but i am not good enough to make use of it
wooden nimbus
It's nice but I often find myself like
"I jink and then lost my target"

I think the reason why people complain about tanks is because fromsoft server latency makes it almost impossible for lightweight players halfway across the world to completely dodge laglasers and zooks
In a perfect world where every country has a healthy PvP server population, this wouldnt be an issue
But now that the PvP population has dwindled to the point where everyone is forced to play on Global or JP servers, lag and latency are genuine issues
inland sluice
I haven't touched pvp since helldivers
So I wouldn't be surprised about that being correct yeah
patent oyster
Sometimes lag is so bad that people literally teleport or T pose
And it doesnt help that 80% of the weapons in this game have attacker-priority hit registration
Aka if it hits on the screen of the person whos firing the gun, it'll hit no matter what the other person does on their end
inland sluice
Yea

I skipped straight to the "Nightmare" version for this tho
also- Iunno if it got fixed/updated but handguns don't seem to rapid-fire/"hold down to fire" anymore with it?
At least in the version I have for- I think 1.05.1 or something
so Vientos are "spam-click"- I think it'd probs be more balanced in the "hard fodder" or something version but Nightmare Fodder has me swapping around- some weapons just don't seem worth it since it'd be faster to take them out one by one tahn trying to AoE them all, unless you have an Earshot/Songbird, or have the freedom to laserblade-charge 'em,
and cuz of stagger, it's almost always more ammo/time-efficient to corner off one/have two that you can dodge and fire at. especially with early weapons
At least you do get lots of ammo, for the most part

On the regular version at least, I used the Vvc Plasma Rifle because the lingering AoE burns down grouped up MTs, and Energy eats through Redgun AC defenses better than Kinetic/Explosive weapons.

Achievements don’t mean anything
@polar osprey @wooden nimbus what I mean is that the purpose of achievements is purely to make certain parts of playing the game more fun. If you’re not having fun doing the thing that there’s an achievement for, the achievement has failed and you should forget that it exists and do something that is either fun or beneficial instead

If I’m not rushing down the opponent like I’ve snorted all the pixie sticks in the world I’m not playing my build right

I'm not sweaty enough to optimize Pulse Armor usage and Terminal Armor is boring
pulse protection, of course, exists.

I am in all things an impulsive moron who wants to see pretty lights and hear the machine gun go brrrr
Winning the fight is secondary
If the fight is too short I lose even if the game says I win
I wish the fights had the ability to save replays and watch them from both sides, having the ability to do cool fight videos with my fun losses from their angle would be so cool
polar osprey
i use terminal armor for the sole reason that i don't have the energy to add another aspect into the combat
though some builds like Aperture Momentum would mega benefit from using Assault Armor
frank pivot
what're the most effective weapons you've figured out so far?
My guess would be to see if double LCS one-shots them
radiant birch
i tend to use Pulse Armor by default and Terminal Armor on light builds that are liable to get shredded in the time it takes PA to start up
i'm not really aggressive enough as a player to make good use of AA

My guess would be to see if double LCS one-shots them
Mhm,
admittedly I think that most of my builds can't get away with that lmao, cuz I run lightweights
I'll figure it out- maybe the Moonlight will help, or whatever else I can find
frank pivot
i think the best weapons are just going to be anything with big AOEs
double VVC at close range could be a lot of overlapping high damage plasma bubbles with pretty good ammo
the ammo running out is a much bigger concern than dying
but melee makes you stand still for way too long
laser blade might be good because of its large AOE, high damage, stun effect, and the fact that it moves you somewhat during the charge attack
surreal tundra
yeah, maybe I could swap to that, I'll just find out by the next run

Another way to dodge melee that works even in pvp is vertical kiting
Aka fly up in the air and fall down to dodge the melee, or jump and fly upwards to dodge
Melee in AC6 has notoriously bad vertical tracking

it's a gimmick build but it's surprisingly fun to play
i would love to get a PvP win with it
that would be so fucking funny

Dual vientos and laser dagger?

patent oyster
Add some kicks into the rotation and that pretty much used to be meta
Dual vientos makes nuclear whiplash fall into the BVO (basho viento ocellus)-adjacent archetype imo
Well the general philosophy of it anyways
Stagger quickly using vientos and then go for a melee punish

Classic armored core music. “We have released official lyrics and they are the last thing you expected”
I thought a line from Thinker in AC4 was “laughing children play in fallout” for years and that unfathomably dark image of a bunch of doomed kids playing in the “snow” stuck with me.
It’s not even close, the line is “sound of jet they play for out”, which still baffles me
river junco
Jesus that misheard lyric is dark though
serene kettle
Yeah, but it makes perfect sense with the themes of Armored Core 4
whereas what it actually is doesn't make sense at all 😛
polar osprey
trying to listen to Steel Haze (Rusted Pride) to see if i can discern the lyrics
and the first three lines are actually indecipherable even with the actual lyrics up
like you can kinda hear the lyrics after but those three lines are just nothing
also they have it written down as "watch the sun rise in the dawn" but the singer 100% sings "watch the sun rise into the dawn"
serene kettle
I also maintain that the lyrics in "thinker" are clearly saying "sinker"
This also makes more sense with the lyrics, though that one I consider more likely to be intentional wordplay
I'm a shooter. A drastic baby
Agitate and jump out. Feel it in the will
Can you talk about deep-sea with me
The deep-sea fish loves you forever
All are as your thinking over
Out of space when someone waits there
Sound of jet, they played for out``` The lyrics, for context lolBut like. This is the credits song of AC4 and conveys the thematic sense of being on a sinking ship after an already fucking bleak ending...which leads into AC4A.
(For anyone who doesn't know, AC4 ends with the game's closest rusty-equivalent character burning down your hometown not because he wanted to, but because they'd do it to his if he refused. His dialogue suggests the fight with you afterward amounts to a suicide-by-cop.)
polar osprey
damn
and things in AC4A are pretty dire iirc due to having nuclear god machines just running around everywhere
serene kettle
Yeah "the earth is a sinking ship" is basically the whole thrust of AC4A
hence the Closed Plan
serene kettle
Incidentally this is probably why Joshua complied despite being canonically a massive badass.
Because no matter how badass he was, it didn't matter. NEXTs are wasteland-makers. He could fight off the combined might of every corporation at once over his hometown and the kojima particles from the fight alone would kill everyone anyway.
He sounds relieved when you kill him.
polar osprey
no matter what you accomplish, if a NEXT shows up near a populated area everyone is dying no matter what
serene kettle
Yeah.
polar osprey
irregardless of if you actually drive it off everyone is just gone
does he also pilot a NEXT?
serene kettle
Yeah. He's White Glint's original pilot
polar osprey
oh shit
serene kettle
though he's using an experimental prototype in that fight
polar osprey
White Glint is such a cool design
serene kettle
White Glint in AC4A is implied to be AC4's protagonist, down to still having Fiona as an operator.
serene kettle
implied meaning "all but stated outright"
polar osprey
Rip bozo lol
honestly i seem to remember it going down with relative ease
kinda sank into the ocean
serene kettle
Deep-Sea Fish will love you forever...
But yeah AC4/4A's whole thing is pretty heavy-handedly about climate change and unchecked capitalism's contributions to it
So the image of Children playing joyfully in fallout meshes perfectly
serene kettle
I don't think I was crazy for thinking that was the line!
But no. Not even close. 😛
polar osprey
NEXT's are cool though
i like them a lot
their ecological disaster status is somewhat unfortunate
serene kettle
The absolute terror as you realize the final boss of Verdict Day is piloting a NEXT and you sure aren't was an unforgettable moment.
polar osprey
yeah
man that's so fucked
cause you go through AC's in a NEXT like a 1000 degree knife through butter
serene kettle
the one mercy is the guy in it isn't used to piloting a NEXT so it isn't being used to its fullest potential
polar osprey
it's not even a consideration usually if an AC can do anything to a NEXT
the bullets will bounce off
serene kettle
Like...did you fight Wonderful Body? It's a bit like that lol
still technically the full capabilities of a NEXT, but really doesn't know how to move in it
which is basically the only reason you stand a chance lol
polar osprey
yeah
the only reason you could possibly win is because it's not being used quite properly
if there was an AC4A Lynx in there you would inarguably be a smoldering pile of scrap
serene kettle
Very likely yes
The fight is already basically Balteus with more hp and no stagger
(Also generally faster and harder)
It repositions way faster than you can but isn’t incredible at dodging otherwise. With Lynx reaction speed you’d be so screwed.

it's a really good finale to a pretty good game (my main knock against verdict day is that like 80% of its missions are just AC duels and nothing else)
also while the multiplayer special sorties where you could take a squad of friends up against a superboss is cool, it means a decent bit of the game's content is just flat locked off if you're only into singleplayer

I can DM you the playlist if you'd like
polar osprey
sure
but yeah i think a next wins hands down in a contest of speed
gonna boot the game and check how fast Dash Pinion is cause it's a pretty fucking chunky NEXT
basic walking speed is 60km/hm, cruising speed is around 300km/h unless i am flying in which case it goes up to around 350km/h, and Overed Boost goes up to about 965km/h
so no matter what if the NEXT pulls Overed it basically becomes menaingless

to be fair they were very easy to hit with against sufficiently large (or immobile) targets
they were often ideal loadout for the various "destroy massive MT" type missions

polar osprey
fair
honestly i don't really like Nightfalls unique head so i kinda just prefer Loader 4 if anything
just fought Stigro, damn some of these arms forts are mad dangerous
serene kettle
oh you've reached the part of For Answer where they start expecting you to just go solo Arms Forts
nice
vernal wadi
621’s Loader 4 would be silly given how similar it is to Nightfall
yeah but Bandai isn't exactly new to remolds with slight differences now so eh
plus we would get the Pulse Blade
vernal wadi
honestly i don't really like Nightfalls unique head so i kinda just prefer Loade...
same tbh, for some reason Nightfall was my biggest roadblock when I first fought him, and watching the visor flip gets old after the 6th time
partially because I never used hardlock up to that point
river junco
Yknow
Something that strikes me as funny
About AC6’s plot
Is that canonically Walter has grabbed like…. Groups of hounds that work together
See the cinematic trailer
But for some fucking reason he was just like “nah this one brain damaged weirdo has it”
wooden nimbus
We built different
river junco
I’d love to see modern fromsoft tackle gunforts
wooden nimbus
We built stupid
river junco
Just missions that are built like the crawler
Alternatively I think a like
Monster Hunter “attack individual parts” style would work
polar osprey
made a fast boi also
always surprises me how absurdly mobile NEXT's are
even my chunky ass super heavyweight build can fly multiple times longer than any normal build could in AC6
oh shit i got access to some new Collared matches
Orca collared matches aparently
ok didn't use the rockets for this one
these gatlings do premium damage

How do you play the older games anyway? Heard some interesting stuff about them and thought about trying one out.
surreal tundra
their ecological disaster status is somewhat unfortunate
Yeah,
Which is partially why I'm glad that AC6 has sorta more "this won't be a definite total biome kill, just if you set it off, which does need more than you think" lmao,
surreal tundra
>kit designed after Nightfall and Steel Haze
>look inside
>Nightfall and Steel H...
I guess it's only Steel Haze and Nightfall if the pilot and their emblems are on it?
Like how you can run the exact same frame parts but different internals-
If you wanted to make something up about it anyways in terms of some kinda canon
polar osprey
not true for Nightfall
Nightfalls head unit is a customized unit used specifically for the Nightfall AC
Custom part derived from the scout AC head developed by RaD. Comprehensively rebuilt by an anonymous independent mercenary group, this model takes some steps forward but sacrifices the minimalism of its predecessor.
this is not the case for Steel Haze however since it does use standard Schneider parts
However it is sorta implied that Ortus was made specifically for Rusty by Elcano so that one could be considered entirely unique
In comparison
Not a lot of AC's in the game use parts that are soecifically created for one AC like the Shade Eye head
urban knoll
I want more parts like Shade Eye in the game
Ones with functional moving parts
The visor coming on when you hard lock or assault boost is some good shit
Also allows very fun decals on it since they move with the visor
acoustic girder
Oh the uh... orbiter? chest piece also has a moving part when boosting, it's admittedly just the antennae
urban knoll
Yeah, more stuff like that please

Anyone who has played AC4A, how do you actually use the reserve weapons
Dash Pinion has reserve weapons equipped but i've never made use of them
wooden nimbus
It's been so long I don't remember

Anyone who has played AC4A, how do you actually use the reserve weapons
In your hangar? You automatically pull them out when you purge your primaries I’m pretty sure
You can flip a setting to auto purge when you run out of ammo

aaaa i want hangars in ac6
i wonder what all would fit
surreal tundra
Not a lot of AC's in the game use parts that are soecifically created for one AC...
Which is fair-
does "anonymous independent mercenary group" mean Branch?
serene kettle
Branch seems the most likely contender
polar osprey
but yes it seems likely
surreal tundra
yeah, sounds likely
serene kettle
given that they're the only onscreen confirmed independent mercenary group in AC6
there are probably others, but...
polar osprey
i think FULL COURSE, NIGHTFALL and STEEL HAZE ORTUS are the only actually like, proper custom AC's i can think of in the game
surreal tundra
aaaa i want hangars in ac6
so basically if you throw away arm weapons OR have a slot in the back-weapon swap to put it on, it goes there?
I'm not sure if many weapons are actualyl physically small enough to fit in a hangar...
depends how big they were in other games I guess,
polar osprey
Nightfall technically only has a custom head
but that's still more than most others
Full Course is a Carla original made specifically by her for her iirc
an Steel Haze Ortus is heavily implied to have been made completely custo by Elcano specifically for Rusty
most everything else is customized from standard production parts
surreal tundra
I guess most of these parts that we see are maybe like- the best they can get their hands on?
maybe some in-lore tuning or whatever,
polar osprey
i mean it makes sense that most people would just use production parts
the companies they work for and with make parts
surreal tundra
cuz Ortus should be much better than Steel Haze in-lore for example, I thiiiiiiiink,
polar osprey
so they have access to those parts
Ortus specifically is made entirely custom by Elcano
for Rusty
it is not a standard production suit
just like Full Course was made by Carla herself since she is the head of RaD
surreal tundra
Hm,
IIRC- Berlioz?
I forgot exactly-
Used Aaliyah parts that were enhanced beyond what you can normally get, I think both in-game and in-lore
so maybe it's a case of that here for their top pilots- I mean, not like they can't afford it, and it could be part of OS tuning,

*hypothetical for how hangars could work for AC6
polar osprey
Ortus is at the very least a new design or a pre-mass production sample of some sort
serene kettle
the companies they work for and with make parts
Carla's a bit of a weird case here since RaD is, for all intents and purposes, an extension of her personal lab. It's not really a corporation in any conventional sense.
surreal tundra

I think it was made with schnieder data in addition to what Elcano had?
as a next-step for Steel Haze I think,
serene kettle
Ortus definitely seems like a prototype design yeah
prototype or possibly an experimental unit
polar osprey
Notably, the ALBA model which Steel Haze Ortus is named as is made with stolen data from Schneider Corporation and Furlong dynamics
And is specifically customized for flight capability
A new head part developed by Elcano. This model utilizes technology received from Furlong Dynamics to achieve improved overall balance and precise AC control.
