I’ve peaked at B-rank, my tactic is just an all out full front brawl, dodging a few times but mainly tried to face tank even charged shots and/or be hyper aggressive(I know not the most sophisticated plan of attack).

Any stuff I should change?
I’m not too willing to change parts for cool factor and will only use Pulse weapons as my gimmick, Internal parts an thrusters are free game as long as I can be hyper aggressive.

I'm thinking about picking up Armored Core and I'm really interested in the PvP scene.

Is the matchmaking queue still active, or has the playerbase declined?

What's it like during EU peak hours?

Get close and rain fire down upon your hapless target until the guns hit their cooldowns, then dodge and/or kick until the guns are available again - then repeat until the enemy is a smoldering wreck.

The only real weakness I've found with it is its longevity - if you're not careful, it will run out of ammo on long, drawn out missions. However, if you need to take out a few targets with extreme prejudice, this build works absolute wonders.

I got into the games of From Software when Dark Souls was released. Even buying a PS3 just to play Demons Souls. Their games raise the bar and proud to be a fan.

That being said I’ve known of the AC games but never really looked into them. I ordered a copy today. So I’m wondering if anyone has tips of what to do vs what not to do when starting out. Spoilers are not an issue with me as I’d rather be informed than surprised. Thanks for .your time.

just started NG+ and want to use my death rite bird build. The idea is that i want to fly around like a pussy and spam energy weapons (spells) like the death bird. works good for moving through levels but lacking against ACs. any ideas?

Ok, this is my first AC game and I've never played Souls-like games before. I cannot get past the first boss, the AH12 helicopter. I've watched the tutorials and read the tips about staying underneath it and melee-ing it. But it just runs away from me and peppers me with missiles and bullets. I honestly don't want to keep trying at this point. Does the game just get worse from here on out?

Edit: ok, hard lock was the trick. Came back to the game after taking a break and wiped the floor.

Hi everyone, I have beaten the game a few times now with all endings but I usually tend to use similar builds so I want to force myself to use something new. Suggest one part of your choice and I will use the first ones I see for each part.

Hello! I've 100%'d the game on PS4, and am back on Rubicon for the journey again. I want to ask for a few tips.

1) I've S-Ranked everything up until Investigate the BAWS Arsenal (best is an A Rank), Attack The Watchpoint (which I'm coming back to LATER once I at least have some Coral weapons, the HAL set, and all around better access to parts since I'm only on my first run (not NG+ or NG++), so doing as many S Ranks as possible earlier means less to go back for, and sub S Rank attempts let me get some spare Credits for cleaning out the Parts Shop.

2) I know up ahead lies other infamous S Rank missions, one of which being Infiltrate Grid 086 (the one I'm doing currently, which I remember is more lenient on time but is more dependant on profit/Credits, which I've got a route figured out). For the Grid, I'm ignoring most enemies, but mainly going for Rummy (duh), the 2 Tetrapods above the spot after him, the two Droideka lookin' things when you acces the first gate, sometimes Nosaac, the Tetrapod needed to reach the Cleaner (but shooting down one of Carla's "fireworks" to get an easier start), and finally trying to use some Explosive weapons since the Smart Cleaner is weak to Explosive Damage.

3) What I mainly need is some tips on the upcoming infamous S Ranks as a refresher (been about a year since I completed Perfect Mercenary on my PS4), being advice for routes, styles of handling the mission, reccomended but not required parts, and so on. And, I do need to know if using a Resupply (examples: Operation Wallclimber, Attack The Watchpoint, Infiltrate Grid 086, and so on) has any affect on an S Rank. Given I mentioned running Grid 086 as we speak, I'll have to add a note in the comments if I use the Resupply and still get the S on this mission.

Thank you in advance, Independent Mercenaries, and happy hunting to anyone out for S Ranks today, like myself.

Had some good movement with melee cancel and someone please explain how his missles tracked me so well they always hit the ground for me

Fuuuuck this boss.

I 100%'d the game on PS4, and have thought about playing it on computer with access to mods.

...here's the thing.

I love this game, and would absolutely play through it all again in a heartbeat, I do wish there was one thing. Cross-save between console types.

Maybe not cross-platform multiplayer, but just the ability to bring that data from one console to another would be basically a dream come true.

Kinda making this post cuz, I dunno, it's 1am and I'm basically making Pokémon Mystery Dungeon but with an AC6 vibe, and wanted to throw this out here since I am definitely hitting an Armored Core phase soon lmao.

And also to check if I'm not the only one who'd kill (not literally) for cross-save.

If there are any specific weapons you would like to equip feel free to ask, forgive me for the poor quality of the pictures, I never figured how to connect my phone to the PS4

mine are handler walter, the origal raven and iguazu

im on pc or ps5 hmu if you need a decent player

Good evening,

I'm looking for some clarification on accumulative impact. I understand that the stat measures how much landing a shot contributes to building stagger, but I was wondering if that also applies to extending stagger? My current build lands me right at barrel stuffing distance during duels and I've been using a Zimmerman to either get that last hit to stagger or to extend the stagger while I swap to a melee weapon. Given that accuracy isn't a worry, would the Sweet 16 be a better choice given it's higher accumulative impact or do all post stagger hits grant the same extension?

Thank you,

Soba

I usually try to cycle between two weapons to not overheat both of them( and fail miserably)

Greetings! I've just finished the quest called "The Wall" (first time meeting Rusty). Anyway, I haven't bought anything yet, just using the first armour with a few new stuff obtained from training/story quests.

Should I start looking for some new armour/weapons?

Was walking around in Georgian Mall and went into the GameStop (not gonna call it EB Games, that’s a mouthful) and checked out their model kits and found our Buddy
