hey guys in this ac6 pvp build showcase we're playing a lightweight ransetsu rf kite build with the 20c and truenos. this thing is fast and insanely fun. it also hard counters a lot of overpowered meta builds just by virtue of being able to get off of and fight outside the 'X' (get out of and stay out of the enemy's ideal engagement range and disrupt their combat rythym through superior range and movement) this build when piloted by someone who knows matchups well is super clean and rewarding. it also has good punish both with the arm weapons and back weapons due to everything having very high direct hit adjustment

I actually run this type of build for a couple of weeks already. Basically just modified Steel Haze with the head swapped for that hammerhead-lookalike head - one with the best scanning stat there is because I need to hunt some crates in NG+. Been staying with it until now because it's damn fun and fashionable to my eyes. Thanks for the tip on FCS choice, it really made my day better. Keep up the good work!

I'm with you on the "heavyweights are easier to play" thought. I've only used heavyweights once or twice in missions and the AP & Def is so high that it was just braindead play. After dozens of attempts I had to resort to an all missile setup against Allmind Iguazu, and that was maybe 2 attempts. I felt dirty doing it.

Yeah they're a decisive weapon, not a fire and forget. They also require planning too but it's different. Cannons you want elevation or terrain to help you hit the splash but truenos really you want to think about your enemies EN. Totally agree with them being more cannon like in an employment sense

@ShadowNinjaMaster93 6 ай бұрын

I appreciate the share code. The build is fun, but I think I prefer mine with a little more bulk so I can get away with running some missile launchers so I never have to stop moving when firing like with the Truenos. Also it seems counter intuitive, but try mixing a Turner or a Scudder in with the RF rather than just two RFs. The higher rate of fire actually helps conceal the RF's bigger bullets so people don't get a feel for the pace and timing of the slower rate of fire. I've been having a lot of success with that.

@BlueIron64 6 ай бұрын

Do the nachtreiher arms handle the recoil well enough in your experience? Alternating rifle shots makes the recoil more noticeable than firing at the same time, but I want to test for myself if it actually effects accuracy

Nah man, that's not how Japanese players build their Zimmerman ACs, the lack of TianQiang parts is already a telltale sign. It should be heavy but not so much on the too heavy side, and therefore should also be energy efficient, and have a great AB speed. The pilot also seems to be completely clueless with what he was doing, and looks like a complete beginner to me. He probably just slapped in the most meta parts he could find on to a heavy biped with no consideration to the weight load and EN efficiency.

Dual Ransetsu's are ballin especially if you're fast. After trying a ton of dual trigger weps, those were what I settled on. Their stagger and DPS are nuts for their low impact. Usually I'll run truenos or dual plasma launchers. Less impact punish but just constant DPS spa..

Agree, but to me the 'fire and forget' missiles that loiter are less interesting than missiles that are decisive and require timing to hit. Truenos in my mind are kind of like an extra set of hand weapons with the way you need to think about your enemy's EN and use them very deliberately.

G7 would have been a legit Red Gun, and it's why the license is rejected at the start, because they're a known kia corporate pilot. The Dafeng student delivering the new armored core would have been a good fit for a new G13 in this case because he'd be a new ally to the Red Guns that isn't a part of the Red Guns.

I think ridiculously long stuns would balance it out better. You want all that ap and stability? Enjoy a 5 business day stagger where I can Kamehameha you, dump my magazines, kick you, and still have time to make a cup of coffee. I also think kicks should be reversed- the lighter you are the more damage you do. Heavies get the benefits of any weapons they want they don't need an extra high damage option that comes out in between their weapon cooldown. Kick being crazy for fatties is what makes them nuts because they have no down-time. They can run zimms and lcs to dominate close range and burzel at you to never let you create a gap.

Kiting while efficient is such a good way to get labeled a loser IMO. Not only do you take advantage of broken weapons while resetting the stagger (or not having any cuz you are too busy running away) but you also take advantage of said stagger system and weapon systems at the same time, and it really wouldnt bother me that much if the game actually had decent connectivity and hit boxes. However it doesnt. The only time i think a kiting person is cool is if they are head on from time to time. Any other case i just think your mindset is "A dub is a dub" which is lame. Most of the time i just assume kites are just unempathetic people who could care less about being fair. I cant however deny its extreme usefulness in getting wins. Its absurd how many strats ive tried to deal with kites. The only kind of strat thats ever been useful is actually playing a kite build myself. I hated it. How can you be so scummy as to think you're good by doing this? Half the time I dont even think you guys care. As if having all these wins makes you somehow good by running away. Almost like politicians who think they are doing good while sitting in a little echo chamber. anyway rant done. To all kiters i dont hate you and i definitely wont deny the insane advantage kiting gets you. however its annoying and extreme cheese imo.
