What actually happened when Rusty "Took care of Michigan": "Well if it isn't the man of the hour!" "Hey, Michigan. Honored to be here." "Damn right its an honor to be on my favorite field trip!" (Rusty and Mich proceed to take a guided tour of Rubicon and then go to a bar.)

On my first playthrough I thought you had to fight Michigan to save Rusty, so I was surprised he survived it then on my second playthrough I played this mission and thought, damn, Rusty is the GOAT.
Rusty not only has a good ubild, but a stylish one aswell. The rverse joint legs and mobility are sick and the laser slicer is one of the coolest weapons in the game
Go to 2:13 for the deployment of G1 Michigan (also, should note: LOVED the detail of the lyrics only kicking in once the "real fight" begins, a la the actual MGR:R)
I remember doing this on my first run. I was out of ammo, with only one shot of song birds and my swords left with less than 200 AP. Might have been the closest fight I ever had in any game.
always fun to remind yourself that these vehicles are the size of buildings particularly when they occasionally dash toward you at mach 15 and juggernaut, cataphract, and the heavy combat helicopter (side note, why is the PCA's attack helicopter bigger than their actual standard warship) when do we get the timeline where a couple of the redguns come with us to steal the data from that one survey base and when the PCA fleet arrives we just roll over their silly little ships surely we aren't the only one who realized you can just sit on the deck and be completely safe lmao also my OCD demands that I point out the screen for Rusty should say V.IV not I.V. xddddd
I also just realise that Rusty singlehandedly destroyed the Arquebus fleet in the LoR route. Y’know, that fleet you destroy with the help of Carta in the Xylem and infinite EN? Rusty did it solo.
My apologies if I missed it somewhere, but what is your bill an OS tuning for this? That was a fantastic run! Super entertaining, Video, especially with the music in the background! Thank you!!
It’s the Steel Haze preset, that’s Rustys build. You get the info for beating him in the arena, I think he’s C rank. If you’re looking to do it in the earlier game the generator (hokushi) isn’t unlocked til (iirc) chapter 5. The frame is all nachtreier, RH is the burst pistol(midway ch3 unlock I think), RS 3 shot plasma missile, LH laser slicer (i think ch3 or 4 unlock) Alula booster I forget the ACS
@@an_ordinary_goose AC data, furthest right screen. Should be five, four player presets and then you can see the builds of folks you’ve beat in the arena. You get info at a few other points too, like after the intro mission you get the AC data for the last G13 since he’s one of the wrecks you check. Ngl, they’re all suboptimal, but Rustys build is pretty alright. I’ve been debating a Mad Stomp Only challenge run.
He only pilots Orthus after he leaves Arquebus, the mission to kill the Redguns is ordered by Arquebus HQ so if Rusty takes this mission should you choose the other one he still needs to keep to his cover
1:36 pretty sure in lore Rusty doesn't whiff his pulse missles by slamming them into the wall next to him, especially given his accuracy lore wise. Not a dig, just funny given the title.
"lore accurate" *slams into a wall and fires off plasma missiles into said wall instead of at the target* i guess he has to be a little clumsy, otherwise he would be a lot harder to beat.
You got it mixed up, Unknown Territory Survey comes right after this and we never destroy STEEL HAZE, it just gets an arm blown off and Rusty retreats and goes AWOL, he ends up giving it to the RLF, you hear a voiceline about it in the Liberator ending route.
I'd have tried to get a smoother run recorded for 'lore accurate' to be in the title. This is Rusty we're talkin about Good melee/assault armor true combo stagger punish on finishing Michigan tho!
Rusty's build is so stylish. A lot of NPC builds have obvious avenues for improvement, but Steel Haze improves the pilot.
Sampu and ransetsu aren't the most synergistic but you can definitely make it work
steel haze Ortus is still relatively stylish and high skill, but also one of the top NPC AC builds in the game in terms of strength and practicality, especially if you swap out some of the internals
He's a nineball like glint and the red fuckers before him
@@daltongarrett3393 the main issue with Ortus is that it can barely ever stagger
@@stale_1 unironic skill issue. The Viento and Trueno are top tier weapons, and the orbit helps keep pressure on.
Technically Rusty is also the wall climber and the worm killer. He is not however the only gun 13 to have ever survived this long
I mean honorary gun is always nice
lmfao but he was asked to join the redguns during the ice worm mission tho
Rusty only counts as a wall climber if you beat the Juggernaut boss before he leaves. No dispute with calling him a worm killer tho.

I wish when Michigan pops out Pulse Protection he said
"IM FUCKING INVINCIBLE"
"See that, you useless maggots?! This is how you survive an attack! Take some notes if you don't wanna end up like Iguazu!"
SO this is how Rusty did it while the vespers were clapping me endlessly along Flatwell

Redguns..... Redguns over Rubicon....
Redguns...Redguns shall be crucified
Its exactly that i heared when i remembered them.
Glorious rays of the golden sunshine
Many days under the scarlet sunshine
Turned down by hunger and pride
Now my children reside themselves
In the underground
Out of sight
All the corpses through snowy moutains
call out for wolfs and ravens
In the heavens a tree grows to
Destroy all things
And remake'em
Love and joy, the only bounds
Closest to a cure
To my foolish fights and strugles
That's what I've been taught
WHEN WORLD IS DOOMED
AND THE BODIES ROT
SHADOWS OF PIDGEONS COVER ME UP
FROM THE RED LIGHT
THE ALL SEEING EYE
SUCH A POINTLESS SACRIFICE
WHEN THE WINTER'S COLD
AND POWER'S CLASH
AS HOUNDS RIP AND TEAR
THROUGH MY FLESH
WHEN THE SUN SETS
THEY WILL SOON FORGET
THE RED GUN THAT WAS CRUCIFIED
Pouring down such a Coral-red light

@@on_the_inverse_5193 Lore canon
One of the stronger presets imo. Very strong in this mission thanks to the Ransetsu-RF having a lot of ammo.
I didn't knew Rusty had a coral waifu too
Technically speaking, if the secret “Cast the Die” ending is canon and he survived Contact with the Coral, he’ll have one too for a future sequel.
RUSTY WAS CHEATING ON ME!?!

No subtitles.
Dude you just went from lore to cinematic lore!!!!
Not a single repair. This is lore accurate Rusty.
On my first playthrough I thought you had to fight Michigan to save Rusty, so I was surprised he survived it then on my second playthrough I played this mission and thought, damn, Rusty is the GOAT.
This is my fav mission along with the one where you assault boost the PCA fleet then 1v1 rusty. So freakin' good
The only thing missing is V.II Snail being snarky at the end. Otherwise, perfectly done!
"Not bad, V.IV. Honestly, I expected Balam to send you back to us in pieces... but Michigan suits that look much more."
Can't forget he's rank NINE.. in the arena.
He’s intentionally not being good imo
nine as in
him
Rest in peace G1, you Chad.
NOT LORE ACCURATE AT ALL.
You didn't call anyone "buddy" a single time.
That's because his buddy wasn't there.
That was the perfect music choice.
Also, damn, what a sick execution on Michigan. Really good skill there, nice work.
It is lore accurate that Michigan has speakers in his AC that play Red Sun when he gets serious
The fact that mgrr music goes so well over this too
I absolutely love how the lyrics kicked in as Michigan arrived. Really showing respect to the source of the song 😄
I could still hear the lyrics to Red Sun in the first half
I always took the other option for this mission, I just never had the heart to put down good ol' "Hell on Four Legs" Michigan.
Same
I hate killing V.V though, he seemed like one of the decent ones.
Rusty not only has a good ubild, but a stylish one aswell. The rverse joint legs and mobility are sick and the laser slicer is one of the coolest weapons in the game
those are bipedal legs, not reverse joint
o ye, my mistake, the schnider byped legs look pretty similar@@TheMarlz2
Kids are cruel, Michigan
Go to 2:13 for the deployment of G1 Michigan
(also, should note: LOVED the detail of the lyrics only kicking in once the "real fight" begins, a la the actual MGR:R)
I think my favourite thing about Michigan is the loyalty he inspires in the redgun
Like the good ol' days after *the Fires of Ibis!*
Red guns over paradise
Im only 5 seconds in and I hear Red Sun. I know this is going to be good. Thank you for being awesome.
"We can still win this!"
The 3 repair kits in question:
Play this song when you finish the “Fires of Raven” route.
Didn't even realised that there was no lyrics in the red sun until half way the video when the lyrics actually started
It's insane how well the MGR ost fits with this game
I remember doing this on my first run. I was out of ammo, with only one shot of song birds and my swords left with less than 200 AP.
Might have been the closest fight I ever had in any game.
Played significantly better than I did when I did this...good job!
What a fucking show. The metal gear rising OST just elevated it all so much.
Good run my dude. Good music too.
*Lore accurate music starts playing*
Do this again but with 621 original set up.
I paused at 00:02 to adjust the quality, and instantly knew the song was Red Sun.
That is as beautiful, graceful destruction
Looking good, buddy.
always fun to remind yourself that these vehicles are the size of buildings
