"Amala, I've got a chainsaw on my arm. I'll be fine."
Beat the SeaSpider with two laser handguns, a laser on my shoulder, and a laser blade on a lightweight AC.

It felt like I was paying for the hubris I felt after beating Balteus in three tries.

Watching Gundam Wing and other mech series as a kid, this is the game I wish I’d had. I never ran into Armored Core, but there was a Zoids game that was eerily similar in mission structure and having most of the fun being building something you like to play.

I kinda wish there were some purely kinetic shoulder weapons, like a shoulder mounted linear rifle or something.

There is one (1) thing in NG++ and it's still technically a missile launcher but I did absolutely devastate my friend in PvP with them

Also, I just wanna say that explosive pop every enemy makes when they blow up is probably one of those little SFX that took hours of work to get perfect. I really appreciate it, it's probably my favorite "enemy defeated" sound since FF7.

Edit: I finally gave the assault rifles another go and I really like them. They inflict a hell of a lot of stagger cumulatively and have a solid range. I kinda wish there were some purely kinetic shoulder weapons, like a shoulder mounted linear rifle or something. The grenade launchers and the bazooka are cool, but I just want a giant rail gun on my shoulder.

The Stun Needle launcher and the Needle Missile launchers (NG+ exclusive, as they're part of Steel Haze Ortus's loadout,) are shoulder-mounted kinetic weapons. There's also a kinetic orbit gun in addition to the energy orbit gun, last I remember.

that's the decade plus old bad game on life support still - it's basically a single-player implementation of MWO, which came out in 2013. i definitely wouldn't call it good in any way shape or form.

Finished NG++ and true ending. Game good. Definitely needs a numbers pass and some tweaks to enable longer range builds imo (I tried to get clever on the 'stealth' mission by using some shoulder mounted lasers to snipe targets with manual aiming and watched them ricochet off and that felt awful) but game still real good. Also needs more missions like (FoR path) the mission on the Xylem where you just have infinite energy and get to go zooming off into the distance to ruin the PCA's collective day. Probably gonna go back for combat/data logs for the parts completion, no idea if I wanna aim for full S ranks.

I used songbirds to "snipe" MTs on that stealth mission and it might be the funniest thing ever NGL.

First playthrough I switched my whole build up to a zoomie biped for that bastard.

Feeling is mutual, I can't wait to gently caress around with more paint and rank some more sorties tomorrow.

Don't the stun needles count as kinetic?
Needle handgun is kinetic, yeah. Not to be confused with the actual stun handgun which is the stun status handgun.

Shoulder stun needles are kinetic initial with a stun blast I think?

my posts are as bad the Current Releases review of Gone Girl

Finished my first run, went fires of Raven to get it out of the way. This game loving whips, especially loved Rusty going full Pixy and showing up in the most explicitly Gundam-rear end AC in the game to put you down was probably the highlight of that bench for me.

There are 9 robonewheels, 4 around the moonlight, 4 around the cliff you come from, and 1 on top that tries to pet sematary you. You may have missed one of them.

Quoting myself from an earlier post. Use this build to get through the fight quick.

GreatGreen posted:





When the fight starts, open by firing both needle blasters as soon as the game will register the button presses, then turn on target lock, then maintain a circle strafe as close as you can get to IBIS, firing everything the moment it's available.

Who cares if it's cheesy. Use it to win the fight and continue to the rest of the game, then come back later and beat it with whatever build you like without being gated behind this one encounter.

Laser rifles and quad legs can also pick most of them off from a high vantage point. When I used a build like that, I was able to kill stuff so fast that none of the enemies from any given wave overlapped.
Each new wave found itself in an entirely empty level, except for my mech of course. :getin:

Double flamethrowers on heavy biped legs worked like a charm for me, with whichever heavy hitters you prefer on shoulders to crack stuff that's tougher than an MT. I used double stun needle launchers but other stuff should work too.

Same as the other poster said, you might be missing a wheel. They have a habit of getting stuck under the bridge sometimes.

If you're not already doing it, assault armor nukes all the trash and will give you breathing room. I ran plasma missiles and miniguns on a tank for extra AP. There's definitely better builds I'm sure, but it worked.

You have to go on the bridge, there is a special animation of a wheel ripping down the city at you, very easy to miss if you dont go on the bridge
