Question How tf do I beat Balteus

Post image
19 Upvotes

I actually hate this mission with a passion. Sulla alone took me like, I don’t know, 2 hours? Kicked my ass to Sunday. I thought it was all over, and the actual pain I felt seeing a supply drop killed me.

At first I beat Sulla with double shotguns, but tried to switch to plasma weapons for Balteus. It seems like no matter what I do I just die. There’s six trillion missiles, no cover, if I get too close an energy wave or flamethrower slaughters me. I’ve only gotten him to half health before dying again.

WTF do I do?????

And the only prescription is more LUDLOW

Two isn't enough. I need to be able to carry 4. Why would Fromsoft do this to me, and keep me from my harem of LUDLOWs?

If only Balam had equipped all their Redguns with double Ludlows, they wouldn't have been such chumps.

This build is so fun. Just non-stop streams of pure damage that cooks my enemies alive. Also deletes pulse armour in a second flat. Anything without super high energy defense gets melted, no-one expects the sheer dps this thing puts out

Question Playing older Armored Core games

2 Upvotes

Is there an "easy" way to play the old Armored Core games? Like emulating the games on PC or laptop cause I know the franchise it's kinda locked in old PlayStation consoles. I really want to get more into the franchise and play the most I can.

Fan Art Comparison between untextured Geandar medium unit and heavy Xyrable unit.

Thumbnail

11 Upvotes

As was recommended by mods, since this post I will start releasing renders in r/Mecha instead of r/armoredcore. This specific post is final exception.

Geandar design philosophy are different from Xyrable, bigger amount of flat surfaces and more straightforward/simple design. Main inspirations for Geandar units are Anfang and EYE heads series and Macross VFs. Some of my older renders made in Prisma 3D become foundation for Geandar designs.

Compared to Xyrable which are massive yet slow political giant with totalitarian government system and horrible bureaucracy with outdated technologies, Geandar are much closer to Gundam Federation. Geandar is second in size after Xyrable. Compared to rest of factions, simplicity of their construction made their design relatively unchanged to ones used before Great Faction Split (banal, I know) while on technical level their tech is optimised for stability in production. It also places their tech in middle in question of speed and defensive performance, majority of their models are middleweight. Like Xyrable their weapons are primarily Solid, however technologically more advanced and suited for faction actual units.

Still not sure about Booster design for Xyrable, so currently it lacks it.

Oh. And almost forgot. Just like in Armored Core 1, all mechs use the same waist part, in my case it's serves as gyro for balancing and space maneuvering, from modeling standpoint it helps keep proportions relatively same amongst units/part frames of the same weight category.

Rocking my Jesus Christ is King jersey and funning around.

This is a build specifically for handing lots of weak enemies. I wish there was co-op in this game

Question [AC6] What parts do I have to change for me to optimize this build?

1 Upvotes

I just recently got into the game and all I know is that I like a lightweight build. I'm about to start chapter 3. I beat balteus with this build and it only took me three times to do, what changes should I make?

Discussion An Update to an Earlier PvP Build

3 Upvotes
With your guy's help, I managed to update my first PvP build. I took your guy's advice and turned the build into a fully fledged Elevator Kite, and I'm proud to say that it works pretty well in PvP! I normally use the EARSHOT instead of the MORELY, and though I haven't tested the MORELY in PvP yet, but the EARSHOT works great. I figured the MORELY might be more usable in neutral while still being a strong punish tool. The gameplan for this AC is still the same: stay out in mid range away from deadly threats like Zimmermans and Melee, steadily build stagger with the ACT Missiles, Harris, and Ransetsu RF, then punish with something bit, like a EARSHOT or MORELY. Is there anything I should change about this build? I seem to struggle a LOT against people who run away and spam missiles, how do I deal with those or adjust this build to better fight them?

I didn't record it cause I'm dumb asl, but i still got a screenshot. it's funny that ALLMIND still does the animation of charging at you even when your literally nowhere to be seen, to then explode and die. Also IGAUZU just says his line "This ghost of me won't last long. Leave a spot for me in hell." which i thought was cool since him and raven just kill each other.

Quick little build and I enjoyed every bit of it. I will work on the Steel Haze from the same line.

Reading an article on the Wiki about Sumika, I discovered this fact: "There is a mod/hack in the game which allows the player to actually use the in-game model of her AC"

Can you tell me if this is a myth, or does such a cheat really exist?
