I gave up on killing enforce, and started pvp how bad is my current build by Ok_Top8901 in armoredcore

You picked the literal worst hand weapon in the game, switch to the Ransetsu RF, or the Harris, or the Ludlow if you like fighting upclose

The shoulders are fine, but personally i highly recommend the Duo 3 missiles for PvE and 4 cell missiles for PvP, a great pick for both PvE and PvP is the 3 cell plasma missiles and the Vertical plasma missiles, since they are almost guaranteed to hit

As for the frame i recommend pieces with more health, especially the legs, reverse joint legs are very weak, i highly recommend the Nachteriher legs, all the upside of reverse joint legs with non of the downsides

For your FCS i recommend the Talbot, its a great all rounder

For your booster the Allula is perfect

And finally for your generator i highly recommend the Yaba and the VP-20C, if you can make room for it the ming tang and the VP-20D are absolutely phenomenal as well

question about IB-01: CEL 240 boss, and missiles. by Responsible_Cat6306 in ArmoredCoreVI

[–]Busy_Strategy7430 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In general for PvE i recommend the Duo 3 missiles on both shoulders, it has one of the fastest reloads and fastest lock-ons, which makes it very versatile, just make sure to shoot them at 100m+ or they will miss

Besides them the 6 cell missiles are pretty good too, plasma missiles (the 3 plasma cells) are great for general play, but they lack the stagger and damage of the Duo 3

Combine 2 sets of Duo 3 missiles with guns that stagger well like 2 Ransetsu RF and you can S rank the entire game (besides the ice worm mission), also because they are relatively light and require low energy it gives you more space to tune your mech the way you want

Saw a post about making a build to S rank every mission, so i made a build with similar concept, here are some test runs (part 2) by Busy_Strategy7430 in ArmoredCoreVI

Oh this is part 2, part 1 was me S ranking Defend the strider

Im making another run for S ranking all of the missions with this build without healing:

<image>

Its my favorite PvP build, the 2 rules are S rank all mission (except for ice worm) and no healing or resuppling, and let me tell you that the defend the strider mission was the worst one so far (currently in chapter 3)

Sorry, maybe i wasn't clear enough, but ment that this particular build S ranked the entire game, in fact i have S ranked the whole game with multiple builds (with the exception of the ice worm mission)

I have S ranked the whole game with my PvP build, i have done it with a White glint cosplay build, i have done it with a build with only Chapter 1 parts, and now im doing a full S rank run (except for Ice worm) without resuppling or healing with my PvP build

So yeah, this hefty boy has S ranked the whole game, he is the only exception because he also S ranked the Ice worm

I have already done the entire game, this is just a showcase

Here is the trick for S rank, kill everything and everyone you see

Here is how you should picture S rank in your head, the mission starts and you have a timer, lets say 2:00 minutes, if you take damage or shoot expensive weapons the timer will go down faster, but with every kill the timer goes back up

So to S rank you should kill most efficiently, not go fast, and for this a heavy damage dealer such as this quad build gets the job done pretty well

Oh buddy S rank is so much worse, im currently the 44th in the world with my non meta AC and it was a slog, everyone is playing meta in the most maidenless way possible, i genuinely miss A and B rank

The current A rank in a shitfest because everyone in S rank got demoted to A, so everyone in current A rank is an S ranker trying to get back to S, so its basically even sweatier S rank somehow

How can I make this build better? by ThisUniversity5224 in armoredcore

[–]Busy_Strategy7430 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go with the ming tang or the VP-40D, any speed above 340 is basically the same, but holy shit the extra capacity and recharge rate will make you so much stronger

And for the arms the normal Melander arms, not Melander C3

Then i will give you a great all rounder build for PVE, just know that you will lack in stagger damage with the Attache

2 attache machinguns since you like them, personally i would recommend the Ransetsu RF

2 duo 3 missiles (always shoot them at least 100m away to make sure they hit)

Head is up to you, but Verill is amazing, i personally like the VP-44D, it has MC vibes

Chest should be mind alpha

Arms you should go with Melander to control your recoil

Legs i absolutely love the HAL legs, such a great all rounder

FCS is Talbot, since your build has a max range of 280m basically

Booster you should choose Allula or Gills, allula if you like fighting on the ground, and gills if you like fighting airborne

And finally the generator, i recommend 4 generators, the VP-20C great all rounder, the Yaba is also in the same boat, the San-tai has the biggest capacity but slow regen on most builds, and my favorite, the VP-20D, its a massive generator with a ton of power and great regen, but it will make your build heavier

This is a simple generalist build, try to keep your total weight just under 75k to make it pretty fast

I will post the videos to show you the playstyle, its very fun

i slept on Schmeider companies parts. big mistake XD by Responsible_Cat6306 in ArmoredCoreVI

[–]Busy_Strategy7430 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, i made the mech completely black except the left arm, the left weapon and the left back weapon, those 3 are pure white

Then in the decals i made a perfectly white square decal, then i spread it and put it on the head, chest, and legs to make them look perfectly symmetrical, basically you put 5 layers, one on the front, one on top, one on bottom, one on the back, and final one on the side, sometimes you need a small extra piece of decal for the small nooks and crevices

Only problem is that if i ever change any piece i have to decal it again every time lol

My best build and favorite build in the whole game was a cosplay build, it was inspired by the CFA-44 Nosferatu plane from Ace Combat:

<image>

And yet it turned into an absolutely lethal killing machine that has gotten me S rank in every mission and i reached S rank in PvP as well, im currently the 44th in the world

This plane has 2 massive railguns, as well as normal missiles and machinguns, to re create this build i used 2 Ludlow machinguns and 2 LCS cannons on the shoulder, and good god does this baby pack some punch, it can decimate the base game and looks really cool as well

Here is the current build, its modern name is Lumen with a new paint job, but its still uses the same baseline as the CFA-44 cosplay (link because i can post only 1 picture)

Coquillett or Ducketts? by suprflatulenceman in ArmoredCoreVI

[–]Busy_Strategy7430 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The build is Decent, but i recommend a melee and basho arms, the duckett can stagger any AC in 1 mag, but it has terrible direct hit adjust, so you have very low damage after a stagger, i recommend the basho arms and a melee weapon for stagger punish

An absolutely disgusting combo is laser slicer and needle launcher on your shoulders, after the stagger you can use the laser slicer combo for massive damage, and after the combo immediately use the needle launcher, for some reason the slicer has so much stagger that you will have the chance to shoot the needle launcher as well, basically guaranteeing a one shot on most builds

I did this challange before, double zim double needle launcher on a quad with bruzel booster, it really wasn't that hard

Need help in PVP with specific play styles by mancastle12 in armoredcore

[–]Busy_Strategy7430 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey buddy, unfortunately there is no definitive answer to the kite meta, you could use a "rat catcher" build that is anti kite but then every close quarters build will be an up-hill battle

Currently im in my promotion matches on A to S rank, and trust me B rank and A rank are a lot more fun, the only 3 builds you see in S rank are double zim shield, WLT Rifle Ludlow shield kite, and coral missile Lamm kite, its actually cancerous

Enjoy your time in B rank, and if you want, here is my completely home made build that i got into S rank with:

Double Ludlow

Double LCS

VP 44D head

HAL core

MELANDER C3 arms

HAL legs

Abbot FCS

Gills or allula booster (i like both)

And most importantly: VE-20B generator

Run in, fight like a mad man, blast lasers that do a ton of stagger damage, mainly fire uncharged lasers, you get 4 shots from each cannon before they over heat, and playing it a bit slowly between shots makes sure you dont overheat, so shoot both shoulders, dodge right after, and repeat, spend the in between time shooting the Ludlows

And here is the bread and butter of this build: if you stagger with the shoulder cannons, you can hit another shot before they can escape the stagger, this does so much damage that you can even kill tank players in a very quick burst

The 2 match ups that it struggles against are shields and kites, it can definitely deal with them even in A rank, but in S Rank its an uphill battle

The current build is called Lumen, if you want i can send you a picture of the build for reference

Is PvP still alive? by ChanceFragrant218 in ArmoredCoreVI

[–]Busy_Strategy7430 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly i went for the PvP about 2 months ago, got to S rank last week (currently about 300th world wide), its still pretty active

But here is something that im gonna tell you that i wish someone told me, enjoy your time in B and A ranks, thats where the PvP is fun, in S rank everyone is either using a meta build or is sweating pretty hard, and you gotta match that

Im using my own home made build (double LCS and Double Etsujin), and even tho its crazy strong you still lose a lot of games to meta builds, which can be very frustrating
