Hello everyone! Another Armored Core 6 challenge run! For this one I'm going in with only pistols! As long as the weapon are classified as handguns then I can use them. This one was more of a chill challenge run because the previous one at the end kicked my butt and beyond!
Hope everyone enjoys this one just as the my previous videos!

I think the biggest thing I've learned from watching your challenge runs is "oh yeah, ACs can fly". I feel like I get hit so often by what feels like undodgable attacks while I'm on the ground, but taking to the air helps me dodge so much better.

@Worn-outGamer4 8 ай бұрын

Yup, flying in this game makes attacks easier to dodge. In this game verticality and speed is king; for me a least.

Yeh I basically did this run on my first just cause I found the ideer of handguns only being a cool ideer. Good firearm arms, a nice close to mid range targetting system, and I was partial to jumpy legs. Having two sets always felt like the best for cycling and you're always working to be brawling as much as you can, since those little jerks have a pretty short effective range. Lots of fun.

I'm so mad about the G1 mission. Banged my head against it until I gave up on NG and did the other decision. Same thing on NG+. Imagine my horror when I didn't get the chance on NG++ because the story diverges. So now I would have to play the entire game again. For me, this is by far the hardest mission

@observingrogue7652 22 күн бұрын

Great job. And it's so great that AC6 gives us the option to kick & Fist the world, when out of ammo. In the old games, to still be able to fight back when out of ammo. Your options are to have weapons and ammo extensions with a lot of ammo for the mission, Energy Based Exceeded Orbit drone Core, that recharges the drone ammunition when you put them away, and you must have radar units and other things for the highest ECM resistance possible, so the EO drones will still work in high ECM. Or, just have a blade with you. To do a pistol only run with the old games, like Nexus, Ninebreaker, and Last Raven. You have to have a hanger unit Core that can store backup pistols, but when they are all empty, you have no attack. So the other option is to have two of your favorite pistols out, twins or whatever, then your other favorite Right arm pistol that's still small enough for the Hanger-Unit (pockets), and a storable blade for the Left arm. Back units can be radar antennas, extra boosters, or nothing for less weight and energy drain.

I'm still working my way towards them, but thus far, what I've played around with, handguns slap. The Vientos are META for a reason, The Duckett is a BEAST combined with a Kurasawa, and that AMS interference burst pistol hits like a truck. Also, play around with weapon combos. Yeah it's fun, and looks cool to dual wield, but you might be shocked how much synergy certain combos have, seriously, try out Duckett and Kurasawa, basically you use the Kurasawa uncharged, or FULLY charged shots for stun punishes, and first stage charge in combination with the Duckett to build stagger.

Dang not only did you do handguns only, but you basically had the regular Loader 4 the whole run and beat the ice worm with it. Not bad at all! The Good, bad, and true ending stuff is a little cringe though. It's a From Soft Game things are never that clear cut. It's just fire, liberation and release as far as I'm concerned.

I've did a similar run to this, inspired by your previous video of playing the entire game as LOADER 4 (With some changes, like the weapons and stuff, but not the entire body part) to get the Lore Accurate cutscene. I'm slowly getting my way through the entire game, currently at Chapter 1 at NG+ and it's a lot of fun. I didn't realize how low the stability of LOADER 4 is. It's easily staggered. You really need to anticipate enemy attacks and dodge them carefully. It's a lot of fun with this challenge. I'm currently stuck at the 'Battle at the Dam' mission that was requested by the Liberation front to eliminate both G4 and G5.

I already know it's possible, pistols are my second favorite weapon type. They make using my favorite weapon type (melee weapons) a lot easier with their amazing ACS strain, fast reload, decent semi-auto fire rate and steady pressure. Twin Duckettes also happen to look super cool when hangered on your back, imo.

The HG-004 Duckett does more damage than most rifles (only the LR-037 Harris Linear rifle does more per shot damage) and has a high rate of fire. The small magazine size and short range are the main drawbacks but after having its reload time significantly shortened and its total ammo capacity doubled the Duckett is now a very viable and dependable weapon. Does good damage in addition to its high impact potential. Standard MTs go down in just two shots. I would like to see all kinetic weapons have their magazine sizes exactly doubled while maintaining the same alpha damage while slightly reducing impact damage for balance. For example take the Duckett from 7 to 14 rounds in a magazine but keep the total impact damage of those 14 rounds as similar to the original 7 rounds.
