If you always are against using enemy weaknesses and try to be stubborn and only use stuff that deals close to no damage, you are playing the game wrong (or do a challenge run).

Regarding the ALT Dam mission; you get paid double what Balam was offering if you take the RLF's deal to backstab them.

Thats the best way. Rifles or machine guns and missiles with multi-lock. Flew around at high speed and killed everything, including going back for the tetrapod after everything else was clear. When fighting Red, the trick is to pay attention and missile the helis when they come in to drop more MTs. Keep pressure on Red and keep him from ever being directly underneath the heli since he loves his vertical missiles.

I totally didn't know about hard lock until I was complaining about the NG++ boss to a friend, and he asked me about it. I was like, what's hard lock? And then crushed the boss and turned in my AC drivers license while hanging my head in shame, lol

All you need for the Coral Export Denial mission is 2 of the basic missile launchers and you can leave the arm slots empty. The basic missiles are more than enough and you'll be so light-weight & fast that energy management isn't even a concern

Man, you pilot gracefully. Kudos, raven.

I rarely comment on anyone’s channel, but appreciate your armored core vids. If it wasn’t for you, I was going to return this game after 2 days.

IMO missiles are the best way to clear Escort the Mining Ship, the C-weapons are all really weak to missiles and they actually end up tracking surprisingly well against even the bonewheels. Just load up entirely on missiles and turn your brain off, super easy S-rank.

To elaborate for people curious - every enemy that attacks the chopper is present on the map from the very start. No enemies spawn from the edges of the map or behind the chopper if you know which enemies to kill ahead of time. The only time enemies come from off the playable area is the very end, with the enemy AC. All the helicopters, MTs, and drones are present somewhere on the map and activate at certain times. If you are fast, you can clear them all before the Escape Chopper gets anywhere close.

for strider escort mission, if you bring the rocket launcher on both shoulder, you can have easier time to knock those grinders death machine and to stagger the other C weapon as well, the 6 rockets kinda ideal to bring,

1:51:20 I know it's allmind that made it this way but the fact that Vaati's AC has a flamethrower and the entire facility is on fire really does make it seem like it was just his AC to blame for how badly arquebus' situation is deteriorating

Absolutely cannot wait the the Prepare to Cry video for AC6

Pretty much S-ranked all missions with the same build. Biped with dual gatling guns and stun needle launchers. Only for a very few missions (two or three) did I have to change loadout.

If you can stun with the wheels (with a Zim double tap, for example), they die instantly to a kick. I still think flame throwers are better, but that's another way to deal with them

Hey y’all. Am I crazy or did we miss “Defend the Dam Complex.” Skipped thru the vid but I can’t find it anywhere

There is the Needle Pistol, Viento and the Needle Missile, Trueno; both are NG+ parts and they both slap. Trueno are high velocity kinetic missiles, no explosive but high speed and high impact. Great for punishing in pvp and for staggering bosses and ACs in PVE. They also kill almost everything that isn't a mini-boss (cutscene when they explode) in a single salvo. The Viento pistols do high stagger but also have high accumulation, so you can rapidly build stagger on any enemy and finish with a direct hit from something big.
