Armored Core V awesome party thread

[VF5SS]

AC openings were always pretty amazing.

There was some vaporware project to do an anime that presumably used the same studios as the openings but it never materialized.

AC Fort Tower Song my rear booster :v

What's the best weapon for killing those giant robots with fuckoff laser guns in their legs

Also there's more land mines in this level than needed to fulfill the special requirement

that doesn't make sense to my 90's gaming mind

[Stark]

Pretty sure you want high damage kinect weapons. The HEAT cannon is too low velocity and short ranged.

[CaptHawkeye]

You know it occurs to me now that there's even less reason for MW fans to hate FromSoftware. Look at fucking Steel Battalion. That game is literally right up their alley. It's better at being MW than MW is.

[VF5SS]

Yeah but them Japanese can't draw robots good like uh

this?

So uh what's the best way to kill that police chief with the giant fuck you beam cannon? I keep getting beaned by it.

[Andrew_Fireborn]

That part took my friend and I way too many tries...

Eventually, we got close enough (And you do have to kill him, he's weakest to KE if I'm remembering right.)

I made it by dodging and my friend acting as a target two or three times...

I'd forgotten/never realized it existed at the time, but one of the two sticks clicks in to activate Over Boost. Heavy drain, but it might be better for dodging.

I left off on a later mission where he FLIES...

[Stark]

Vertical missiles, he cannon, anything really. Get up close and pop-up from behind the last oil rig thing until he's dead.

[Manus Celer Dei]

...what? When I was fighting that guy I hardly even fired at him, by the time I was close enough he died from an attack of spontaneous cutscene-itis. Am I thinking of some other guy with a giant fuck you beam cannon?

[VF5SS]

The guy at the marine port at the end of the mission where you can approach him by moving across the small platforms that are full of fuel tanks so they can explode EVEN MORE when he hits them with his explosion generating gun :v

[Stark]

Since you're not using tracks you shouldn't have any trouble with crossing and dodging. :p

[VF5SS]

I haven't found the right balance of booster and engine to do that really well. Then again maybe I'm still too used to classic AC's Gundam style boosting.

[Stark]

I did it in tracks by just moving a rig at a time (or two) and waiting for recharge. The wrecks stop the beam, but it can be a bit glitchy. At long range you can hide under the water, even.

[VF5SS]

What is up with these extra missions that I totally cannot solo like a jackass.
