The line when the Strider is exploding "Hold the lineeee, we are Coraaal Waaarrriooorrrs!" always gets me, breaking a fucking rib lol - ship is literally falling apart and he's yelling morale boosts.
You can tell they balanced around fair builds and just let the OP builds have an easy dub instead of the way most games just railroad you into using broken crap.
@@AtillaTheSean Having an AC half dead finish a mission and still get S rank is not forgiving, its because the criteria of that mission is speed or something other than your health. Also you have to try using a build that doesnt melt enemies in seconds in this game. You are meant to get strong in AC6. Its part of the fun. If you always are against using enemy weaknesses and try to be stubborn and only use stuff that deals close to no damage, you are playing the game wrong (or do a challenge run).
I dont think the ending necessarily implies you still have to fight, I think it could just be implying that the ACs are our bodies now. But who knows, its left intentionally uncertain like a lot of fromsoft's secret endings, especially in this game with all the talk about casting the die - "crossing the Rubicon".
I think it implies for one: that all the lost/coral voices now can live in the ACs. On top of that a better/actual symbiosis between augmented humans and the coral, supported by the fact that ayre says „activating combat mode“ instead of the normal systems voice. Lastly the fact that ayre activates combat mode means there has to be a reason to engage. Just my understanding tho, could be wrong
Yeah, unless they come out with a concrete answer, I think the only reasonable take is to lean on the metaphor here. The actual circumstance isn't really important. It's just gonna be sci-fi wibbly wobbly magic regardless. It's the message that matters more than anything else.
Quick Tip for everyone: when setting up dodges for shoulder laser weapons always go to the opposite shoulder side, ex: L-Shd Laser charges > start gliding to the enemy's right shoulder > then QB to that same side(direction changes only works for projectiles). 42:32
First few up to Escort baring Illegal Entry are S Rank for me, repeated the Coral Release with Tank build (Tank treads, double Javelin Alphas Double Stun Needle, Highest AP Rest, Coral Gen, Max Missile Lock FCS), got that for S-Rank with a time of 2 Minutes... would have been less but got staggered and had Terminal Armor get triggered by Phase 3 Change blast... Got Raven Boss Solo at S Rank using their own build against them...
Regarding the ALT Dam mission; you get paid double what Balam was offering if you take the RLF's deal to backstab them. This makes a huge difference to your earnings, and probably accounts for why it's so hard to get a good rank when doing that mission the "normal" way of destroying the generators.
A quad missile tetrapod build absolutely wrecks this mission since the upper bound is super high you’re pretty much untouchable, easiest s rank in my life
@@Rayfireful You lose the 190k that the mission originally offered, but keep the full 380k that the RLF pay you, so you still make double, you just don't make triple
The double payout is nixed by a matching penalty. To me it feels like the repair cost is ignored on this one, but ammo cost has left me with an A on a pretty quick kill.
@@Taolan8472 4:54 Look at the results screen. 190k base pay which is what Balam offered, 380k bonus pay which is what the RLF offered, and the penalties are only 190k. That means you effectively don't get any money from Balam, but you still get the full 380k that RLF gave you (minus ammo and repair costs), which is indeed double what Balam offered.
"What are you fighting at this point?" Your self, or more accurately. "Killing oneself takes some time... and in my situation, there was a lot of self to kill."
20:47 just for the Prisoner Rescue mission context, you dont have to wait around for the helicopter to follow, you can go ahead in the mission and kill almost everything before the choper gets to the second point, so its never flying into a threat untill the very end
For the "Escort Strider" mission I used dual P19MLT-04 e dual WS-5001 with EL-TL-11 Fortaleza legs and VE-21B FCS, it gave me a mindless S rank with 0 repair kits used.
I used a similar setup and went through that mission easily the first time around, but for whatever reason I can barely get an A now, taking too many of their missile hits. IDK if they changed something in the patch, or maybe I changed out a part accidentally or something to nerf my missile lock on range.
I'm surprised at how easy some of these S ranks were for me. The biggest hurdle for some was finishing the mission without dying, and I got the S as soon as I did. Was that way for both Ayre and Allguazu
I hope we get an update that adds a new, harder tier of missions that are an actual challenge to S-Rank. Stricter time limits, enemy resistances that almost require you to use their corresponding weakness. That kind of thing. Rushing through everything with some shotguns or linear rifles and a melee weapon shouldn't be an automatic win.
@@rainbowkrampus I actually used a variety of builds. Earshot dizzies, whip lance, light dual trigger (that one cleared ibis, literally dual Ludlows on Nachtreiher parts with quad missiles on the back...)
@@rainbowkrampus Its already challenging enough. Some S ranks are definitely hard like Michigan, Coral Export Denial, Stop the Secret Data Breach, Investigate BAWS Arsenal No. 2 and some others. Not everything needs to be like those mission. Its a nice change of pace to have some missions that are easier.
@@EldenLord. YMMV, I found them to all be trivial. Lightweight build, shotguns and different missiles depending on if you need to clear trash or deal damage. You'll roll through all but 3 of the ranked missions without any trouble. Only problem missions were Ice Worm since you need to laser and my particular build can't carry it, Escort the Mining Ship since the wheels are jerks and Coral Export. All three were easily done with a quad build and different weapons to make life easier (Ice Worm can be whatever so long as you bring the needle, Escort is super easy with an all missile build, Coral Export is cake with a bunch of plasma weapons).
@@dirt_dert_durt I guess my point is that you didn't need to outside of select missions. It'd be nice if margins were so tight that you needed to actually make use of all the different tools they throw at you. As opposed to the reality where you can stomp the ranks with any fast and high stagger build.
Was it something about, "At least I'm not dying here alone" or something like that, cause that happened during Phase 3, mutual kill then he explodes and somehow I get the cutscene... 3AM luck really hit me hard, almost as hard as I hit Iguana...
I totally didn't know about hard lock until I was complaining about the NG++ boss to a friend, and he asked me about it. I was like, what's hard lock? And then crushed the boss and turned in my AC drivers license while hanging my head in shame, lol
The rolly polly wheels typically have 2 openings. 1. The straight charging towards you, use shoulder weapons to shoot them off as they come closer. 2. The brake drift, use assault boost and long range weapons (this can be difficult so you need long-range assist chips to help) Learnt the hard way from chapter 4 mission. 😄
I haven't seen you play the mission "Defend the Dam Complex". You get it when you decide not to fight the Cataphract, and it's a real challenge. Wanna see you S-rank that one 😁
You know, for the RLF escorting mission, you can just leave the helicopter behind and go clean up all threats before they get closer to the pilot’s position. You don’t have to actually “escort it”. Except for when you extract comrade Messam, In which case you do have to stick around.
Re: "What are you fighting at this point?" Yourself, other mercs, humans... They totally took the Marathon Infinite approach at the end there and said "hey, all of those S-rank replays, all of the previous games, whatever mods you make and play, they're all cannon because now YOU are infinite. Cheers."
This was 2 hours of my weekend well spent. Watched it just after getting all achievements. I am ashamed to say I did cheese a lot of fights with zimmermans + laser canons + firmeza frame parts. Good stagger and damage
In the defend the helicopter mission all the enemies are there from the start just sitting on the ground except the last ones. I just flew around the map and killed them all and waited for the boss and nuked him.
Thats the best way. Rifles or machine guns and missiles with multi-lock. Flew around at high speed and killed everything, including going back for the tetrapod after everything else was clear. When fighting Red, the trick is to pay attention and missile the helis when they come in to drop more MTs. Keep pressure on Red and keep him from ever being directly underneath the heli since he loves his vertical missiles.
IMO missiles are the best way to clear Escort the Mining Ship, the C-weapons are all really weak to missiles and they actually end up tracking surprisingly well against even the bonewheels. Just load up entirely on missiles and turn your brain off, super easy S-rank.
To elaborate for people curious - every enemy that attacks the chopper is present on the map from the very start. No enemies spawn from the edges of the map or behind the chopper if you know which enemies to kill ahead of time. The only time enemies come from off the playable area is the very end, with the enemy AC. All the helicopters, MTs, and drones are present somewhere on the map and activate at certain times. If you are fast, you can clear them all before the Escape Chopper gets anywhere close.
@@vash_the_stampede6570that's its weakness. So long as you've got enough lift and horizontal speed, Iguazu will be whiffing shots while you can keep landing them. Keep moving around him diagonally and he's cake.
Combat logs are awarded by Allmind, so it makes sense that you don't get a combat log for killing the invisible mech in the first mission. Edit: lol someone pointed it out in chat just after I wrote this
I cant believe flamethrower counters the wheel like that! I dealt with them by using missles, spread zookas or other beeg explosive type weapons but its neat to know flamethrower could do that
I just can not pull off the chainsaw reliably. I'll stick to my pile bunker. It is absolutely broken how cheap/effective plasma missiles are for S-ranks. I used the six-cell launcher in pretty much every situation that wasnt a pure boss fight. Great successA
hey vaati - how did you get that yellow to red gradient on your tetrapod? The infinite flight one? I've been trying to get a similar effect for a while
All you need for the Coral Export Denial mission is 2 of the basic missile launchers and you can leave the arm slots empty. The basic missiles are more than enough and you'll be so light-weight & fast that energy management isn't even a concern
28:45 why worry about overburdening if it’s such a small amount? It hardly makes ANY difference to your boost speed, QB reloads, ABs etc if it’s under about 1200 pounds overburdened.
The fight of Sulla is glitchy I believe because is was hidden in Xylem? In the description, it's written, if I remember correctly, that no one knew where he was hiding. And he is unlock in the arena in the same chapter where you get for the first time this kind of glitchy sound, in Xylem. I always though it was a lore info about him. I may completly be wrong xD
for strider escort mission, if you bring the rocket launcher on both shoulder, you can have easier time to knock those grinders death machine and to stagger the other C weapon as well, the 6 rockets kinda ideal to bring,
Attack the dam, got this S rank pretty easily. With busted builds you can kill Iguazu super fast. I'm having more trouble with the defend x missions. Surprised Vat got it that fast. I thought you couldn't get that damaged.
If you can stun with the wheels (with a Zim double tap, for example), they die instantly to a kick. I still think flame throwers are better, but that's another way to deal with them
you sure did it way more gracefully than me, my guy😂 maybe they patched it or will patch it in the future, but dual shotgun and bazooka on two medium legs broke the game for me, once I learned that build, I just S-Ranked the entire game in one day, with two or three tries max on end game bosses, the stagger damage was completely through the roof... I felt like the god of rubicon but at the same time I felt like I was almost cheating lol
The alternate dam mission was such a pain in my ass my first time through. I was using the pile bunker and dual zimms and I could demolish their acs meters but I would always missed my charged pile bunker hit
Pretty much S-ranked all missions with the same build. Biped with dual gatling guns and stun needle launchers. Only for a very few missions (two or three) did I have to change loadout.
I don't know how well it will work for you. But me and a friend of mine found out for this mission. Especially, it would be a good idea to go and all missile build missile Verizon. Cause there are armed weapons, which will deploy several small missiles and then pair of backgrounds, which will lower just. Upload a missile Verizon with use the set. Which far is 10 missiles simultaneously for backgrounds for both sides? And it does pretty quick work for those machines.
I never played Project Wingman myself but Iguazu reminds me the Crimson 1 though their motivation are quite different. Dude hate you so much he nuked his home just to kill you and he failed. Another dude envies you so much and become an AI just trying to kill you.
Last patch broke melee, alot of melee weapons randomly don't have any blade/attack animations/dmg but you still do the AC animations. Like with the Coral Oscillator your AC stands in place moving his arm but no red beam
Noticed that, really pissed me off against Snail Balteus since I would've dealt some serious damage but I died because my first plasma thrower strike completely refunded. Utter disbelief.
Nerfed my build to hell... If they just did Elden Ring and seperated PVP Nerfs verse PVE I would be fine... hope when they do they de-patch the PVE nerfs for weapons and keep em for PVP...
I hope the double trouble never gets patched. It has stacking tick damage on top of its direct hit adjustment and deflects most shots fired at the chest when advancing. This means its chain blade is impervious?
I platinumed the game a few days ago. By far my least favorite missions to S were Escort the Strider and the defense/hacking missions( regain control of the xylem had me pulling my hair out). Which ones gave you most trouble?
Fighting IguanaMind without going Tank Mode... If my hardlock wasn't occasionally deactivating or changing targets due to minor R Stick drift from heavy use of it I probably wouldn't have half the issues that fight gave me... the ten MT's with High Stagger builds and decent enough zigzagging to ensure they take the hits for IguanaMind makes the fight a lot harder for upclose melee submachine gun builds...
are those the lil needle guns ur using at the beginning. i actually really like those. i need to get back in to s rank everything my self after i finish my ng+ and ++ runs
There is the Needle Pistol, Viento and the Needle Missile, Trueno; both are NG+ parts and they both slap. Trueno are high velocity kinetic missiles, no explosive but high speed and high impact. Great for punishing in pvp and for staggering bosses and ACs in PVE. They also kill almost everything that isn't a mini-boss (cutscene when they explode) in a single salvo. The Viento pistols do high stagger but also have high accumulation, so you can rapidly build stagger on any enemy and finish with a direct hit from something big.
Hell yeah it’s 5:27 am and just got done with my final missions, survey the uninhabited city twice😂 last bosses were easier than some of these missions to s rank I swear on god
Just 100% AC6 today, the "true ending" got me thinking if Fromsoft actually went with this as cannon ending, the next AC's story/gameplay would be pretty different assuming everyone is like coral-human hybrid now. Anyways... "We are looking forward for more prepare to cry videos from you, ALLMIND anticipates great things from you VV." 🤖
are you playing mkb? i find it hard to get use to after playing the game thru with a controller, but i do find them to be better overall especially for sniping
I think the voice in Iguazu's head has been Allmind all along, just from his dialogue in this fight. Does that sound believable? He talks about killing "you and the freelancer" during a fight where it's him vs. you vs. Allmind, so it clicks a bit more me...? Very happy to be proven wrong though, just a though :)
Oh! I just realised that Ayre joins you as a seperate mech in the final phase. Nevermind!! But he still responds to Allmind with "Get out of my head"...?
You can't let the hacking progress reach 50% and when you go outside kill the 2 sniper stealth mechs and try to make the melee ones attack Fagauzu and just watch,then murk him when he kills them.

I think it's more like "the Coral Release is just the beginning"

I guess the Coral-ation is that Coral and water is everywhere. Always flowing, changing it's form, gathering into large bodies.
hey vaati - how did you get that yellow to red gradient on your tetrapod? The infinite flight one? I've been trying to get a similar effect for a while
All you need for the Coral Export Denial mission is 2 of the basic missile launchers and you can leave the arm slots empty.
The basic missiles are more than enough and you'll be so light-weight & fast that energy management isn't even a concern
28:45 why worry about overburdening if it’s such a small amount? It hardly makes ANY difference to your boost speed, QB reloads, ABs etc if it’s under about 1200 pounds overburdened.
Hey y’all. Am I crazy or did we miss “Defend the Dam Complex.” Skipped thru the vid but I can’t find it anywhere
The fight of Sulla is glitchy I believe because is was hidden in Xylem? In the description, it's written, if I remember correctly, that no one knew where he was hiding. And he is unlock in the arena in the same chapter where you get for the first time this kind of glitchy sound, in Xylem. I always though it was a lore info about him. I may completly be wrong xD
for strider escort mission, if you bring the rocket launcher on both shoulder, you can have easier time to knock those grinders death machine and to stagger the other C weapon as well, the 6 rockets kinda ideal to bring,
Missile boat is just too good for this mission.
@@Ceece20 missile boat is good for a lot of things as well
just not on those flying LC with their bullshit flare spams
Mad Stomp Ortus kicking the shit out of g4 and g5 is my new headcanon
Attack the dam, got this S rank pretty easily. With busted builds you can kill Iguazu super fast. I'm having more trouble with the defend x missions. Surprised Vat got it that fast. I thought you couldn't get that damaged.
If you can stun with the wheels (with a Zim double tap, for example), they die instantly to a kick. I still think flame throwers are better, but that's another way to deal with them
you sure did it way more gracefully than me, my guy😂 maybe they patched it or will patch it in the future, but dual shotgun and bazooka on two medium legs broke the game for me, once I learned that build, I just S-Ranked the entire game in one day, with two or three tries max on end game bosses, the stagger damage was completely through the roof... I felt like the god of rubicon but at the same time I felt like I was almost cheating lol
I rarely comment on anyone’s channel, but appreciate your armored core vids. If it wasn’t for you, I was going to return this game after 2 days.
More bar more gooder, that is actually really good(er) to know.
The alternate dam mission was such a pain in my ass my first time through. I was using the pile bunker and dual zimms and I could demolish their acs meters but I would always missed my charged pile bunker hit
Hi Vaati - on the Infinite Flight AC - are the gradients accomplished via decals?
Yes they are. You need to make your own custom decal of the gradient in the emblem creator.
Absolutely cannot wait the the Prepare to Cry video for AC6
Pretty much S-ranked all missions with the same build. Biped with dual gatling guns and stun needle launchers. Only for a very few missions (two or three) did I have to change loadout.
2 minutes ago? That’s more then 1 minute ago
so quirky and funny 🤓
That's almost 5 minutes!
You can dodge the claw attacks of iguana/all mind by flying up the giant energy blades I have no idea how to dodge hope this helps

"Volta is tanky as hell". You don't say.
How did u get that color gradient along ur legs with that quad build?
The flamethrower is a hard counter to literally everything
Try fighting the HC shield, Ayre, or Allmind with flamethrower
@@KABLAMMATS yeah that’s how I S ranked them easy
@@DerpyBerbWhat does the flamethrower do for effect?
@@vash_the_stampede6570 melts their HP bar.
I don't know how well it will work for you. But me and a friend of mine found out for this mission. Especially, it would be a good idea to go and all missile build missile Verizon. Cause there are armed weapons, which will deploy several small missiles and then pair of backgrounds, which will lower just. Upload a missile Verizon with use the set. Which far is 10 missiles simultaneously for backgrounds for both sides? And it does pretty quick work for those machines.
I never played Project Wingman myself but Iguazu reminds me the Crimson 1 though their motivation are quite different. Dude hate you so much he nuked his home just to kill you and he failed. Another dude envies you so much and become an AI just trying to kill you.
You’ll get more hits with a pilebunker if you add a dash prior to charging the bunkie
Yeah the pile bunker doesnt melee thrust on a charged attack, its basically stationary.
Last patch broke melee, alot of melee weapons randomly don't have any blade/attack animations/dmg but you still do the AC animations. Like with the Coral Oscillator your AC stands in place moving his arm but no red beam
Noticed that, really pissed me off against Snail Balteus since I would've dealt some serious damage but I died because my first plasma thrower strike completely refunded. Utter disbelief.
Nerfed my build to hell... If they just did Elden Ring and seperated PVP Nerfs verse PVE I would be fine... hope when they do they de-patch the PVE nerfs for weapons and keep em for PVP...
I need some armored lore in my life
I hope the double trouble never gets patched. It has stacking tick damage on top of its direct hit adjustment and deflects most shots fired at the chest when advancing. This means its chain blade is impervious?
I platinumed the game a few days ago. By far my least favorite missions to S were Escort the Strider and the defense/hacking missions( regain control of the xylem had me pulling my hair out). Which ones gave you most trouble?
Fighting IguanaMind without going Tank Mode... If my hardlock wasn't occasionally deactivating or changing targets due to minor R Stick drift from heavy use of it I probably wouldn't have half the issues that fight gave me... the ten MT's with High Stagger builds and decent enough zigzagging to ensure they take the hits for IguanaMind makes the fight a lot harder for upclose melee submachine gun builds...
are those the lil needle guns ur using at the beginning. i actually really like those. i need to get back in to s rank everything my self after i finish my ng+ and ++ runs
There is the Needle Pistol, Viento and the Needle Missile, Trueno; both are NG+ parts and they both slap.
Trueno are high velocity kinetic missiles, no explosive but high speed and high impact. Great for punishing in pvp and for staggering bosses and ACs in PVE. They also kill almost everything that isn't a mini-boss (cutscene when they explode) in a single salvo.
The Viento pistols do high stagger but also have high accumulation, so you can rapidly build stagger on any enemy and finish with a direct hit from something big.
Hell yeah it’s 5:27 am and just got done with my final missions, survey the uninhabited city twice😂 last bosses were easier than some of these missions to s rank I swear on god
If Volta had 2x Zims and Songbirds, that would be the end of the game. There'd be no further progression.
Will you be giving us some Lies of P lore? even though its not a fromsoft game
Just 100% AC6 today, the "true ending" got me thinking if Fromsoft actually went with this as cannon ending, the next AC's story/gameplay would be pretty different assuming everyone is like coral-human hybrid now. Anyways...
"We are looking forward for more prepare to cry videos from you, ALLMIND anticipates great things from you VV." 🤖
Any chance you'll play Lies of P?
I S ranked the entire game, I had no clue that killing the Pinecone C weapons was an option in the last fight.
volta was the second hardest fight for me right under the ng++ last boss lol
Vaati and chat's short conversation about Kate Markson makes me realize something. Why in the world did Allmind choose a human name for a callsign?
The video that convinced me to buy it
The sabotage mission in the ship I s-ranked it with a reverse joint ac
are you playing mkb? i find it hard to get use to after playing the game thru with a controller, but i do find them to be better overall especially for sniping
Nah elite controller
Yep, that Redgun in attack the dam complex is super tanky.
i was expecting a high level of gaming here , this guy shit rushes forward into any blast he can find .
Went from mad stomp to infuriated step
It’s weird hearing Vaati speak without his “narrator” voice. Still love his voice though.
Says the tank is tanky as hell. I found that funny 😂
35:06 My new message notification sound.
Could you show parts for build "chainsaw setup"?
Escort the weaponized mining ship is pretty easy if you use grenade launchers to kill two wheels with one hit.
I think the voice in Iguazu's head has been Allmind all along, just from his dialogue in this fight. Does that sound believable? He talks about killing "you and the freelancer" during a fight where it's him vs. you vs. Allmind, so it clicks a bit more me...? Very happy to be proven wrong though, just a though :)
Oh! I just realised that Ayre joins you as a seperate mech in the final phase. Nevermind!! But he still responds to Allmind with "Get out of my head"...?
Escorting the weaponized mining ship was pain even when not trying to S rank it
I've done "Stop the Secret Data Breach" over 50 times now. I'm not even having fun anymore. This S rank system is beyond heinous.
You can't let the hacking progress reach 50% and when you go outside kill the 2 sniper stealth mechs and try to make the melee ones attack Fagauzu and just watch,then murk him when he kills them.
Armored lore video coming?
