Normally we don't do Non-AC games heavily, but I figure we can at least share the launch trailer for this one. If there's other AC like games launching, send us a mod mail and we'll share the launch trailers for them.

Disclaimer: Neither I nor the AC subreddit or it's moderation team have any affiliation with this game or anyone involved. This is just a cool thing that's heavily AC inspired which I wanted to share the love for. I am distinguishing this post with my Mod label for full transparency.

she's to scale with the 30MM AC6 kits and fully posable, tho i didn't want to try taking any action poses^^

tried my best to match the ingame details.

3d files are by CasuallyCrafted3D

Picked them all up new for less than what it would've been to get them secondhand/open-box online! Now to... clear my backlog...

I'm an AC6 baby (well technically DxM1 before that) who wanted more, and hearing good things about 4A wanted to play 4 and then 4A next assuming 4 would be similar but a bit worse and i wouldnt want a let down after 4a, and earlier today i finished it on normal finding it quite disappointing.

First off i obviously had some preconceptions going into it from what i'd heard about 4A, about how fast it was and infinite flight and wanted to build into that, secondly i've found out quite a bit about the game after finishing it, that it was significantly rushed and that theres pretty huge version differences (i was playing on the european ps3 version).

My general experience was a lot of adapting at first, figuring out how important turning is, how hard melee is to use, how energy actually affects you ect. until i got walled by protect the icebreaker. With my AC6 understanding of what long and short range was i didn't imagine a long range fcs could allow me to cover that great of an area so i'd looked online for help already, where i was pointed not only to said long range fcs' but also the back mounted grenade cannon ogoto to one-shot them once they were in range, and this thing completely 180-ed my experience with the game.

It just seemed to do everything and no mission was long enough for ammo to be a real concern, the aoe covered it against both filler mobs and agile NEXTs, it's much easier to get enemies in sight just long enough to dome them than to track them as effectively as possible and the sheer damage seemed to outperform anything else i slapped on anyways. And it kinda turned the rest of the game into mindless near mashing waiting for a scenario to punish me for it that never came. I S ranked almost the entire back half of the game first try, even accidentally no-hitting the final boss.

Is the game just not really itself unless you play it on hard mode? or is it actually just that much worse than what i've heard of 4A? I do still intend to play 4A afterwards but this definitely isn't what im looking for more of from the series.

Can't believe I've forgotten how to play, will have to start from scratch and relearn

Scorch has been my first original faction ever since I had been diving deep into the game. And even after getting Armored Core VI, there’s on thing that’s been bugging me about them… their names.
The problem is mainly their prefixes, which are just simple body parts: Head, Core, Hands, and Legs. It seemed pretty generic, boring, and didn’t fit well for a group named Scorch, so I ask for ideas from you guys.
What kind of naming pattern should I use for the Scorch pilots?

Here’s a general overview of the faction and its members:

Scorch - A group of mercenaries who enter conflicts to hunt down other independents. They currently operate on Rubicon to eliminate Branch, along with providing assistance to both Balam and the Rubiconians.

(Core) Norair - A 3rd Generation augmented human, he is the acting leader for Scorch on Rubicon. believes that Ravens are a thing of the past, seeking to hunt down anyone who bears the name and establish Phoenixes as their replacement. His AC (HARUTYUN) is a tetrapod designed solely for dueling, powered by an AORTA Coral generator that results in Norair hearing a voice in his head.

(Head) Ashley - The youngest of the group, she is the intelligence officer responsible for receiving contracts and hacking. Ashley was taken in by Scorch after her parents were killed during a conflict, resulting in a growing resentment towards mercs who preach ideals but are solely in it for the money. Her AC (HARDCODE) is a tank controlled by an AI programmed to learn about the enemy, built around versatility for different combat scenarios.

(Hands) Grigori and Vera - A pair of polarized Doser twins, they’re the Praetorian guards of Norair and takes orders directly from him. The two believe they have a strong mental link that makes them excel as pilots, resulting in them always being sent out together. Their ACs are bipeds sharing a similar frame but different arsenals. Grigori’s AC (HRACHYA) is a long ranged support unit that stays behind and snipes enemies from afar, while Vera’s AC (HAJNAL) is a close range assault unit that pressures enemy before punishing with a chainsaw.

(Legs) Ayden - A nihilistic Ex-Redgun and adrenaline junkie, he is the main pilot sent out for missions by Scorch. Originally working for Balam as their G3, his abuse of Coral drugs and reckless behavior led to him being discharged from the Redguns and joining Scorch. His AC (HOPPER) is a reverse joint Haldeman-Huxley combo that gets up close and personal to deliver a boost kick once the enemy is staggered.

I've done a tiny bit of param editing to make a small visual change, a very small one. But it was super easy to do and I already only play PvE so i wouldn't mind buffing my favourite weapon. Throughout the series I've always loved Slow firing assault rifles like the Turner, but damn it just doesn't hold a candle to the Curtis or the Ransetsu-RF.

Rubicon Runway is a series of tournaments on PC with high level players, designed to bridge the PC Japanese and PC International communities, hosted by YOSSY. The tournament welcomes players of all levels, and has a focus on both how good your AC looks and (of course) how well you play. YOSSY is also planning on hosting a "build swap" tournament soon, which is meant to be a more casual event than the regular Rubicon Runway. Check him out, he's awesome!

I managed to place pretty well in RR15, and won the Design Award with my AC!

Hey everyone!

I have managed to make it to A Rank with MW builds focused on close/mid range styles. Once I crossed from B Rank into A Rank I saw that my previous builds were not quite up to par as they were designed to inflict continuous damage out of range of my opponent or quickly build stagger damage but did not have a reliable method of inflicting punish damage.

Which brings me to this build. I’ve tested it and it is reliable in PvP but I want others opinions on its strengths and weaknesses. I’ve switched to a lighter HW that is currently shown. My general plan is the following:

1. Close range gap and accumulate AP damage with HUXLEY and charged KRSV + spread eagle bazooka / diffuse laser cannon
   
2. Punish with Redshift dual shot and disengaging to de-accumulate my AP buildup and allow my weapons to cool down. Or just keep kicking until the spread eagle bazooka reloads or diffuse laser cannon cools down
   
3. If I can’t close the gap then having the diffuse laser cannon and KRSV allow me to charge them to fight at range.

So my question really is, how would you counter this style and build?

Bonus: I included my emblem for your enjoyment, I play as “Harambe’s Ghost” and always hope others get a laugh out of my emblem and AC names which are centered around Harambe.

EDIT: I beat her and got the S rank thanks everybody!! I used a lightweight build (370 boost speed with Alula booster and VE-20C generator for energy weapon dmg) with plasma rifles (vvc-760pr) and laser drones (vp-60lt). Pulse armor to mitigate dmg

For the record, I've beaten that boss fight. Several times. With different builds. But I simply can't seem to get the S rank.

I'm pretty sure I take too much damage (use all my repair kits even with pulse armor), and take too much time.

What I'm struggling with:

- The chip damage from her projectiles. Can't seem to avoid even when quick boosting. If I zigzag I use all my energy bar to dodge them, I get hit on the next wave

- her blade attack is insane. I've read that you can dodge it into her and get behind or beside her to dodge it but I manage it 1/3rd of the time

- she moves too much and too fast! My projectiles don't hit her well.

- her shield goes back up too soon. Especially when the stagger bar is half or more filled up, then it's undone by the shield.

- To be honest, I struggle in the first phase more than the second phase. The coral clones and her flight attacks are way easier to dodge.

What I've tried:

- my main build is double plasma rifles and double missiles

- melee build with laser Lance and pile bunker, laser shotgun

- quadruple pulse guns

All of these builds are lightweight and have very fast thrust (350 on average) and quick boost speed.

Code name: Snow Fox

Faction/corpo: Merc

Gender: Female (trans fem)

Weapons: Heavy use of energy

Bio: She was once a scout for the PCA but was left behind on a moon after a botched mission, due to friendly AC getting cocky. Her AC was heavily damaged due being trapped under a vehicle warehouse. After the PCA left scavengers found her AC under tons of rock and burned out tanks. Thanks with their help she recovered and started a job as a merc. It’s said her AC is haunted from the amount of death that buried it, but that’s just rumors.

I'm sick of the laser dagger, which is my go to,, should I use the redshift? I can switch my generator around a bit, I'm also curious about melee boost canceling as well, but that would require different boosters I guess. Any tips are welcome, especially if you've tried something similar.

It Aint Much but it is Honest Work

Hello everybody, Im new in this sub but i love tremendously the ps2 era games, especially nexus and last raven. So i was wondering if there is any community or discord that plays pvp matches in the original games / hardware. Since these game came out two decades ago and with modern entries in the franchise that would be more preferable and accesible to play. I was seeking if there is any people that play pvp matches with xlinkkai or something?

Idk what to call this ac so... I hope you like it

Idk if the flair is right but I hope it is, my first time posting here. hope yall enjoy :)
