Tip regarding the assault boost: Tap jump to stop one, do NOT press down on your analog stick. Doing the latter stalls you. Doing the former (tapping jumps) preserves your momentum and leaves you less vulnerable!

One thing about missile lock on: there is a stat tied to FCS chips that can actually reduce lock on times as well, something to consider spending on your assembly. Some launchers don’t really care for it but there are others with longer lock on times that become much more effective if you use the proper chip for them.

@femthingevelyn 9 ай бұрын

this is doubly important the other way around, the really good close range fcs will make all missile locks take longer than they need to, which isn't really a problem if you know about it, I've got a build with triple shotguns and the laser lance that doesn't need missile lock but benefits greatly from the close range tracking so I use that fcs to great effect

Great helpful tips Dom. Been playing AC since the first one on Playstation and own every title ever since. The game truly focuses on resource conservation, proper load out and player dexterity to use the terrain to their advantage-while dodging. For all the newbies don’t get discourage about dying a lot. It will happen. Just do your best, and get a feel for the type of play style/mech you would like to deploy. Once comfortable keep building your mech to enhance it. Go to the training room. learning how to effectively maneuver is key. A niche game is now reintroduced to a larger audience. Im excited to see it. Everyone may not like it but that’s ok.

@terricon4 9 ай бұрын

For tip 8, it is VERY usable early game, mainly if you go for a melee build, only way to go for a melee build IMO, or at least the best. Once you get that option to buy the second pulse sword soon, giving you two melee weapons, use it for that. A great early game high damage/stagger burst is to overboost into and kick the enemy, then use your melee, then swap to the other blade and use it, and then swap back and rinse/repeat, while shotgunning/rocketing them in the face. You can stagger most enemies really easily and fast doing this, and some of the harder AC fights early on can be killed in just a few seconds with this high damage and stagger aproach. Usable for some other weapons that have long reload times, or cooldown times as well, to cycle between them, but swords/piledriver are the most promiment for me. Nothing like fighting an AC I previously took like five minutes to kill carefully, and just charging in and killing him like ten or fifteen seconds. It's very viable agaisnt some enemies (not all), and also just plain fun once you figure out the weapon swap timing/animation delays (it's not input queued, so you must learn to wait for the previous attack anim to fully finish before cycling, takes some gettings used too).

@jellybelly305 9 ай бұрын

Great tips but don't sleep on the OS chip that lets you swap weapons. Having one shot long reload weapons like a bazooka and a grenade launcher swappable on one arm is incredibly powerful, especially when you stagger an enemy and you can blast them back to back. Or dropping an energy shield with a bubble weapon then swapping to a high stagger weapon

For the most part, this is a really solid set of tips for new players. Going to have to disagree with tip 3. Assault Boost has two major upsides to use in combat. While boosting you take less stagger damage (and you can quick boost without interrupting the assault boost just by tapping the direction you want to dodge in.) and also deal out more stagger damage. So boosting towards an enemy while firing can let you win trades otherwise impossible to survive while also closing the distance. Tip 8 I would suggest a little more nuance instead of a hard 'do not' here. Yes, giving up a weapon slot can eat into your firepower, losing out on the option of a shield especially is rough. But there are several enemies that make a mockery of missiles and not every build can make great use of back mounted cannons easily. Additionally, if the reload process is started and you swap, it continues while it's on the back rack. This can let you do some nasty melee juggling with a second melee in the back left slot, though it takes practice. Enemy with a shield? Drop the missiles and pack a pulse gun to tear it down, then swap to your damage tool of choice again. One thing I think could have been worth having as a tip is that you are NOT ranked on a mission until you go to replay it. Meaning time isn't a factor, restarts or repair kit uses or ammo or armor use? None of that matters, only getting through the mission does. Do first, master later.

One thing to note on tip 1 and 2. If you scan a target that is not in your line of sight (like there is a building in the way) you can use vertical missiles and it will still hit them. Doing this you can sometimes cheese out some enemies. If you hit them this way and they can't find/see you they will go back to being unaware, letting you do it again.

Weapon bays only replaces your shoulder mounted weapon for that shoulder not both simultaneously, you can have a left hand weapon stowed on your left shoulder with a shoulder mounted weapon on your right ready to use so you don't have to give up missiles. this works great if you want a double trigger build but still want access to a melee weapon or want to use single shot and reload type weapons like the bazooka while still maintaining fire between reloads. Fire -> Swap while it's reloading -> keep firing with the back up gun while the bazooka reloads while stowed-> Swap rinse and repeat.

Thoughts on missile launchers: Which firing pattern works best for you mostly depends on how you play. If you prefer close range combat, horizontal launchers are your friends. The missile takes the shortest route to the target and often hits when you arrive there. If you prefer keeping your distance and taking your time, use the other types. While being more accurate, the missiles also take much longer to get to the target. Assault boost? There are exactly two reasons to activate it: You want to use your assault armor charge(s) and in order to boost kick something. OS chips can be redistributed at any time (for a small fee). On ammo pool size: ammo efficiency of a gun can be determined by how many shots you need per target (including missed shots). 600 rounds is nothing if you spend 30 per target, 90 rounds is a lot if you kill 2 targets in one shot.

Just to add to the point of ammo conservation on longer missions - bring a melee weapon, be it the standard pulse blade or one of the fancier thing you get later; the high damage and stagger for no ammo use can also help with money runs. Following on from that and the point about missile use and scanning, I think there is a lot of value to having a sort of 'exploration' build - priority on scanning range and versatility of weapon range, so a melee weapon and missiles would be mandatory and then whatever else fits.

I used the CURTIS Linear Rifle for the whole game and it's still in my main AC build I use for PVP. 400 ammo, 12 in each mag, but it charges for 1 ammo per charge shot with 600-700 damage roughly, making it probably one of THE MOST EFFICIENT weapons in the game, not to mention its good stagger per hit which is the big reason why I use it in PVP, good damage + good stagger. Never had to worry about ammo conservation once, the CURTIS just did its job for me. Also, sometimes you WANT your Energy to deplete as with engines like the AORTA Coral Engine, as it has a horrible EN Recharge Delay but its EN Resupply is nigh-godlike, so it promotes high aggression and constant bottoming out of your Energy.

@jamesianhutchison1165 9 ай бұрын

In regards to ammo conservation, a good side tip is to pay close attention to your weapon stats and figuring out it's max potential damage (max ammo multiplied by damage per shot), gives you a far better idea of what you have to play with across any given mission. DPS isn't key in ACVI, it's the weapon's lifespan when properly used.

You can repair while assboosting. There's like a very small window at the start of the assboost animation where you can't, but while actually in the state, you can. You also take less damage. If you're feeling pressured by enemies, try to quick boost to get some room then assboost to widen the gap and get some time to heal or reload, it's usually not advisable to go ass first, you'll get your rear blown up if you don't have any room, but regardless assboosting is reliable and useful if you're careful and don't use it as a panic button.

One awesome tip for new starting people is the rocket launcher you start with, can be used as a sniper rifle basically. It will far our shoot most of your weapons and will eventually have a small arc to it, but you can snipe enemies from a decent distance out. You dont lock onto them, you just put your crosshair over them and dumbfire them. They wont track but most of the enemies at a distance when you start dont move much so you most likely will hit them.

I use the reverse legged jump with no en cost, then a short AB(cancelled with jump to keep momentum) to close the gap making my handguns effective.

Assault boost does come in handy for certain situations for sure. I think he means more when you are clearing the level of small enemies not to just assault boost at everything you see and smash them in the face with your blade because there is that moment where you are stopped even if you boost right after youll take some damage if you're getting focused and all the damage adds up cause you have finite health pool for each mission.

Going back to tip 7 I have a reverse leg build that uses this strat a lot. A good thing to keep in mind when you fly is if your dodging you have to wait to fly. So many times i would dodge around missles and go to jump only to instatly drop into there line of fire. And if you dodge twice in the air (on standard builds) thats 50% of your boost, so you should be getting ready to land after dodging 2 or more times when airborne imo. Other builds, especially the quad legs, can do these a lot more effectively, but only for an extra dodge or 2. If your planning on making a gunship build i would reccomend using a shield instead of constantly dodging. If your dodging all the time youll be forced to constantly land leaving you open for attacks, its better to increase your defence with the extra load capacity from the legs, slap a shield on to soak up some damage, and dodge the obvious big attacks like cannons and melee. With the added load weight from you legs you should also be able to have a powerful enough arsenal to rip through anything in your way.

I feel like I'm back in a school where a teacher says one thing one year, then you learn something completely counter to it a couple years later, because after a point one does tend to outgrow these tips and do the opposite. Like assault boosting becomes a core part of combat after unlocking the boost kick, either for contributing to ACS Overload, extending a stun or ammo conservation against the rank-and-file enemies. I'm also kind of surprised one of the tips isn't to stagger missile fire. Unloading all your weapon racks at once is a good way to leave yourself unable to attack, especially once enemies start dodging the first volley.

7:59 While this is correct, I actually relied heavily on assault boost to rush in on Ch.1 and Ch.2 end bosses and keep the pressure/damage going with the boost kick. Basically playing like AC6 was Sekiro. "Hesitation is defeat" and all that jazz. Worked shocking well once I learned to read the bosses. The boost kick really helped maintain stun and chip away at pulse shields, followed by a melee attack. That all said, this is certainly accurate. You can absolutely get punished if you assault boost without knowing for sure how wide of an opening you have

Earning Credits in this game is very easy because you can replay quick easy missions like 'Destroy the dam' and earn around 173k for 5mins work (ignore the guy at the end, you dont get any bonus for killing him). With a bit of practice you can easily do it with zero damage and only very small ammo spend. Equip the fastest/lightest parts and just a couple of machine guns and blitz all the targets.

Omg... I've been holding charge for missiles and scanning all around for enemies. Very nice to know just lock the enemy I'm facing and it'll auto target others.

All missiles were really good in AC4A for me when I was fighting Fragile; any stupidly agile enemy is really good to counter by just having missiles all over, as all I'd need to do is have them be detectable, in sight, and then locked on, and boom, I just let loose a bunch of missiles.

@@thomasjefferson2676 I literally spent hours on him. At least 3. I even got him down to like, 2-3% a couple of times. This build gives some "mistake room"; you aren't getting stunned instantly, nor needing to heal up if you do get tagged. I'm 51 :) So, yeah, you can do it. Give yourself a break, and then work him down, paying attention particularly to when you get him to 50%, and don't worry, you can't fall off the edge, so zooming around and powersliding is going to be OK. Be unrelenting in pressure, but don't waste ammo (like I did, by holding down the fire button the whole time).

I realized switching the jump and assault boost buttons, with type a base setup and on the ps4/ps5 controller, allows for way smoother movement control while jumping.

Try to stay under him and shoot it, then when you have enough energy fly up and melee I think you can eventually stun it by doing that. Also always use you missiles, the do a metric fuck load of damage if you land them properly. 👍

I actually found the weapon swapping great early on when I was using a light build. A lot of the shoulder weapons cause little acs to stop dead while they fire, so swapping to another weapon was more useful.

If you assault boost , press x and dodge it exits faster than just canceling it or dodging back out of the boost

I’m starting stealth runs after seeing this vid. “Destroy Artillery Installations” for 100k is perfect - able to gauge when enemies enter Unaware after searching for you, you have plenty of blind spots to get around enemies with. Also, getting to a high vantage point for limited times seems strategic to see where the next mass of enemies are, good since they stop patrolling for you after a predetermined time.

Assault boost is absolutely necessary to take down ACs fast. Damage reduction while in boost, more damage from you, closing range for boot to the head and further combos to your heart's content. Takes practice to land them with soul crushing effect of course.

@pyr666 9 ай бұрын

my big tip for beginners is to find a frame you like and try different weapons with it. body parts are wildly expensive, if you're just starting out and you have unused body parts in the garage, you're wasting your money. build up a body that feels comfortable, and then change out weapons to suit the situation.

@thequestionguy6695 3 ай бұрын

Newbie tips (from idiot that just started): only use character presets. Some of the character presets are really unreliable and forces you to play differently, which I've enjoyed. Also I just use the presets cuz Idk how to make an AC lol
