AC pastebin: pastebin.com/z1bJS9gF Read that if you have any questions. If the pastebin doesn't answer whatever question you may have feel free to ask us in the thread.
How do I get better at bipedal AC's? I'm rolling with this thing and its serving me well but now B-5 Nocturne is kicking my ass with his MOONLIGHT in the arena.

It's a more airborne leg type. Bipeds don't have the landing issues that hovers do, so you can get up and around more effectively, which will let you get around that Moonlight more easily. Nocturne is the guy with the shotgun and the Moonlight, right? Pack a shotgun of your own or a handgun and fight him close.
Isaiah Harris
I see, I'm having still some trouble doing airborne fighting in general since I'm bad at aiming with controllers. And yeah, Nocturne has the shotty and the moonlight, feels kinda cheap that arena opponents can have stuff like that before its available to you but thats life i guess. Are the energy shields actually worth using? I've also read in the pastebin that overheating your opponnents is very effective in AC3, should I go for that?
Adrian Allen

Leo Morgan
Nevermind, just beat him. Airborne legs + machine gun work really well.
Eli Lopez
Would anyone be so kind as to seed or give a magnet for FA for me? It's frozen and I hadn't seen any peers with over 73%. Thank you in advance.

I'm kinda excited to be honest. I want to get the game in a few days. I know it looks a little gay, what with everyone drawing shirtless link porn everywhere, but I think it looks fun.
Having said that, I need something to fill the void until Armored Core 6, and I don't want to have to resort to that option. Going outside and getting fresh air.
David Johnson
Any tips for quad legs in first gen AC? I'm trying to get through the quad arena in MoA and got stuck halfway through it.
Jaxon Morgan
is there any game with insane customization that matters like the Armored Core games? I need some recommendations (except for racing games)
Charles Sanders
Front Mission 5, Mechwarrior Online, Dark Souls 2, Warframe
Nathan Russell
Custom Robo. It looks kind of cartoony and arcadey, but it's still an awesome game.
Robert Walker
For game that old, that was a nice looking duel, the camara helps too.

I am filling my void with hawken, I know is a poor replacement, but is something.

Maybe there was a reason behind the Destruction path. Maybe we were just pulling a Lelouch so the people would hate us instead of fighting each other.
Jaxon Rogers
Lelouch was a douche who needed his gay magic powers to do anything. Strayed was able to do everything he tried and better, and he didnt need his harry potter mind control garbage.
>mfw Lelouch would die of radiation poisoning the moment he tried that trick on Strayed
Levi Myers
There isn't any reason behind other than a mercy kill on humanity.
While extreme, Oldking could give a win to Line Ark if he pulled his stunt sooner, togheter with maybe Strayed and White Glint, while Oldking used the "we gotta make the people live back on earth" as an excuse to take down the cradles, he just wanted to wipe every single living person that lived.
Whatever reason it could be argued, this is one of the few that made sense but sadly, Oldking is a sick fuck and Line Ark was destroyed, if the cradles were to be taken down by force, Line Ark would be the sole power by the virtue of being the last man standing, needless to say, Oldking would place Line Ark on his sights afterwards.

Going trough For Answer on 1.20 like I was advised. That worked out well in the end, I was only upset at generators seemingly being not as good as in 1.00, but once I unlocked better generators that wasn't really a problem anymore. Haven't really encountered a situation where I would need 1.15 yet. I beat and S-ranked normal on all but 3 mission, now I'm going through hard. Wanna test out Kojima weapons now.
Jaxon Wilson
>And it reeked of pay2win.
Being playing it on my PS4, at first I thought the same, but in reality the game is grindy, you need to play a lot to unlock other mechas and stuff, and you need to level up the rank with each mech to be able to buy some upgrades, all this can be done with in-game money, but you can speed up the process with real money, the only thing you have to buy with money is merely cosmetic, all the stuff that can really affect gameplay can be obtained if you play, a lot.
Brayden Cox
Oh, I know you could technically unlock all the stuff, but like you said, it was really grindy. Unnecessarily so, infact. I did the math in my review of the game, and I found that you need to win 100 matches a day, every day, for one year straight just to unlock everything. That felt a little overkill.
Noah Clark
Well seeing how the different frames are, and that there are divided by class you could easily aim for the type of gameplay you want, or at least have a frame of each kind to have all the roles covered.
Daniel King
>Haven't really encountered a situation where I would need 1.15 yet You never actually "need" it to beat anything. But it's still fun for replaying missions later on, especially if you want to build an AC for AESTHETICS without worrying about weight and energy problems.

Newfag here, got a question. I heard there was going to be AC6. Was that little piece of info true, or was I rused?
Easton Price
From mentioned in some interview that they're definitely going to make another AC game or something vague like that. No official announcements or info, just a bit of confirmation that they didn't forget about the series entirely yet.
Nolan Green
Now that I think about it, that may have been where I heard it. I guess that means no new info then? I guess It's back to suffering for me then.
Evan Sullivan
Expect a screenshot or trailer at Tokyo Game Show in 2018, most likely having a release of late 2019 to early 2020. And, this is, of course, if they don't end up canceling the project, or transforming it into a different IP, which would all depend on if they can find a publisher who wants it, and who that publisher is.
Oliver Martinez
Anyone?

Any New rumors on AC6? The guy from The Expanse still in talks with From? Any news on the possible MMO Elements? I honestly want some Good MMO elements with good single player stuff, mostly so I can play online with my brother.
Lincoln Rivera

Xavier Ortiz
No so far.
Austin Walker
>MMO elements
Don't you dare try to turn Armored Core into Xenoblade X.
Nolan Watson
>mostly so I can play online with my brother. You can already do that though.
Jordan Butler
Not in terms of Gameplay in terms of Multiplayer.
Lincoln Foster
He doesn't own any of the older ones. He's waiting for 6.
Connor Gonzalez
Then we'll just have a repeat of Verdict Day, or worse, V. Unless you have a sick fetish for fighting boxes, I'm none too keen on that.
Zachary Barnes
Boxes are but a myth in Japan.

That's what they said about the Dark Raven.
Maybe the boxes are his?

Was there even anyone to take out Strayed after the furious five got shut down? Which Lynx were left to form the B-team?
Cooper Ortiz
>Leave Strayed to me
Charles Campbell
Celebrity Ash and Merrygate form an unlikely duo in a brand new action comedy
No, nothing on Earth can stop them, at least not in time to prevent them from destroying everything. The only thing that can oppose a NEXT of that level is another NEXT and there's no one left and even if a Lynx with Joshua's talents emerges, they won't have enough time to gain experience. The biggest threat to Strayed is the lack of logistical support (ammunition, propellant for VOB and simply, food and time to sleep).
I was actually just listening to this earlier today, wondering where I got this folder from. Don't suppose someone could provide me with a more accurate source as to the artist? Like, the Nico channel they were obtained from, at least?
Evan Sullivan
Hope this works, thanks

Brody Hernandez
Sure, I already beat the last mission and there's nothing harder anyway, I just want to S it. On normal I just fought thought it normally, but on hard I use Kojima arms and it seems their shit tracking affects my shoulder weapons, so I guess I'll replace them with missiles, either Kojima or good old saline05 on 1.00. I also need to figure out who take out first since you have a free shot at the beginning.
Carter Hill
Already asked this in a previous AC thread but I forgot the answer, in For Answer what all do I need to do to unlock every single part?
I've beaten all collared fights, beaten 30 of 42 missions, and gotten the collared ending... Twice. I figured the three missions you get to choose from near the end would change the ending but apparently not, I've read the chart and now I'm ready to do the convoluted mission order for the other two.
Ryan Lewis
You need to beat the game 5 times. Orca, Destruction, and League 3 times (since 3 missions at the end of collared happen at the same time). Stick to GA jobs at the beginning to unlock Orca/Destruction route and of course don't forget to just pick the missions you didn't do before.
Leo Ward
Complete both the attack and defend arteria cranium.
Andrew Roberts
Did anyone else hate this mechanic in ACFA? I want the satisfaction of buying all my parts, I don't want them handed to me after beating the game. Then I don't feel like I earned it.
Oliver Rogers
I thought it was stupid, but I didn't hate it.
Hudson Hall
Alright, I get how to beat everything now.
Is there any bonus for doing hard mode missions and S-ranking everything?
Zachary Miller
Bonus parts and tuning points.
Wyatt Wright
Hard missions are really interesting (they're redesigned to add new enemies and challenges and now just have changed damage values). They also add stuff to the story since more characters make an appearance. You get 5 points for beating a mission on hard and 1 extra point for S rank.
