EDF 6 M135 Barga Who? run Inferno Air Raider Alien Attack ( Earth Defense Force )

- A messy and awesome mission. If on EDF 5 sometimes the best way to solve a mission where you're supposed to use the Barga is to ignore it, story repeats itself. Even considering in this one you get the super Armament Barga with the armageddon weapon to play with.
It's one of the best missions in the game. Although it has 3 really powerful enemies it's unlike the new super dragon ones which are mostly an RNG bore, which already happened in the same situations in EDF 4.1 and 5. Granted you have the mega Barga if you want to deal with them differently, even for that too it's different from the boring ones.
The crucial objective in this mission is to keep as much as possible the 2 super NPC Proteus in tip-top shape. If you do that, they alone will be able to deal with the horde of cosmos and frogs, and lastly the 2 Erginus and the Arkelus.
This does require you to be very aggressive and take the burden of the 3 first waves. At first, it's very hard as your Ranger NPCs take forever to move their asses and help you, so it's you and the WDs. A large number of long-range plasma frogs attack too and they're deadly accurate so being hit by them is usual, and they do close to 1k damage with each shot they land. Remember that they will likely all home on you, once you hit any of them with the Z4 or Phobos. Also with the mess that the mission becomes it's difficult to even see their shots coming, let alone escape them. Until you have a vehicle it's VERY dangerous, hence the 2k armor. Always keep moving, but frankly, it's too much to deal with at the same time. The A4W isn't perfect, but let's face it turrets were not either but they had the advantage of being possible to spread and activate at the right time.
In the second wave taking some care with the King Spider is good, but I lost it probably because it was blown by a Phobos attack. Still worked thanks to a 105mm attack.
In the third, it's crucial to hit the termites wave with Phobos ASAP, then handle the Queen Ant yourself so that it doesn't turn the nearest Proteus into crap (105 mm will help here too).
In the 4th, try to get the multiple plasma frog that lands on the left of the Proteus, which usually runs to the back left, as he's the most dangerous of the pack. Use Z4 for the drones. It will take time but the 2 Proteus will finish all cosmos and frogs.
In the 5th use extensively Z4 and the backpack Guard Capsule A4W to handle tadpoles, they can make a mess with your Proteus too. NPCs will help a lot with this, keep feeding them whenever possible.
If you did things right you should have 3 Combat Frame Eiren IV when the last 3 huge enemies arrive. Deal with the Erginus using their cannon and lasers. Don't ever be overconfident on the Eiren IV lasers, they're nice but not very powerful. Between you and the Proteus you can easily deal with the Erginus. If they don't move you can stun them to death, I've had runs like that. Use 105mm too.
Arkelus is small stuff for the 2 Proteus as they definitely can handle him alone, and will stun him almost continuously, so just pick crates.
Like 109, this is a very interesting mission to do with the AR using old style weapons. Although you can easily die within the first minute, if you survive until the Nix arrives it becomes a lot easier. Not bad for weapons and pretty high level ones, but unlike 109 the end mission talk is pretty short. The Proteus work is most times awesome and VERY impressive. Hopefully they will be useable by the AR in the DLC, it would be absolutely awesome. You can use the super duper Barga but frankly, what for? I did it once, end of story. The 2 Proteus are much more awesome than the super Barga.
Takes around 15 minutes to finish the mission, so it's pretty quick.
Weapons I used are the Phobos Z Plan 4, the KM6 Plan Z4, the 105mm Cannon Z and Guard Capsule A4W. The Vulcan Cannon M2 is likely a better option than the 105mm due to its much faster reload. Weapon stats I had at the end of the video.
Old style weapons, aka EDF 5 ones, only work in missions with tons of enemies where you can get enough points for them to be viable.
I STRESS the importance of moving the Z4 shots away from the Titan and Proteus as much as possible. The theory that they can be used over them is crap. They can damage them extensively due to their big hit area.
This is a primary example on how taking care of NPCs is so important in many missions, and the huge role they play.
Have fun,

It makes me happy to see that the framerate mostly is below 15 fps. That means I'm going to have fun😉
I play on the PS4 and the framerate is actually pretty good as it was on 5, the game is almost always fluid. They did exaggerate on a few missions as they clearly were made with the next-gen in mind. There will be dramatic stops when you kill 50+ enemies at the same time, even more likely if it was using explosives (I have a few videos of that happening).
I've seen Fortnite make dramatic drops too on the PS4, and no one knows Unreal Engine as Epic does.
Of course, it's more forgivable and expected in Sandlot games, it's remains of their roots, and they likely will always push the boundaries of the number of enemies and environmental destruction to the limit, so this will always happen. Graphics fidelity and tock solid frame rate are not in their sights, hopefully they will continue to prefer great gameplay.
@cris3fpsn sounds great, looking forward to it when it gets released in the rest of the world 🙂
Frankly, EDF 6 as a whole was a disappointment. My opinion of course. Too much repetition from 5 and even from 6. Only 30 or so missions are good. The story is another boredom (as someone said in an online game I played a few days ago, who the hell plays EDF for the story ?!?!?!?). I could go on. There are some stellar points in 6, but considering the whole game to me it's even largely inferior to 4.1, and compared to 5... Sadly.
Others will probably have a different view.
@@cris3f just looking at gameplay, looks like edf5 with better graphics and a bit faster
@@vipvip-tf9rw The environment and background are much better. Some of the new maps are very good. And yes it feels faster, as the game now can handle better messy missions.
More an EDF 5.5 than EDF 6.
Good to see some things won't change in edf... the air raider did more damage to de city in the first minute than the ravagers could 😂😂
Well, yes and no.
Yes, AR is still the mass destruction king but his issue is that he seldom can be that. Once you've exhausted the initial set, you'll see that the points needed to replenished them have doubled or tripled and it becomes very troublesome to replenish them. Only on 10 or so missions there's enough enemies to make something like the Phobos Z 4 really feasible (this one is one of them). There's also a lot more missions with good NPC vehicles and the mass destruction weapons must be wisely used to avoid issues with them.
No, there are now ravagers that can alone almost level down a quarter of a city map. It's the pink cannonball large androids. Two missions where you can see this easily it's 130 and 134.5, although they show up on others there's not much to destruct. The 2 cannonballs they release when dying, if going in a good path will smash down a huge area of a city map.
Oh sweet. The mechs in this one actually seem to move a bit more quickly
The new Eiren IV moves faster than the ZC but slower than the Red Guard. Jumping is similar to ZC, flying is dreadful. It's still the best thing the AR got in the game.
@@cris3f I meant in comparison to edf 4.1 which so far is the only game i have played but still good to know for when i get ot 5
@@carlzerris6566 If you like the Air Raider, EDF 5 is a stellar game as he's to me by far the most interesting class to play on that game. Lots of variety and many weapons that were unusable in 4.1 are awesome in 5.
On EDF 6 AR is a disappointment. Was nerfed beyond belief, and in many missions you can only use drones and most suck. My opinion. But there are missions in EDF 6 like this one where he can still shine.
@@cris3f Fair enough. Guess ill wait to see when it gets localised. Honestly the main reason i like air raider is the vehicles so so long as they still work im ok
There’s fast mechs on def 5 too air raider is top tier tbh
Mission 135 Barga Who? collection, or when the NPC vehicles are much more awesome than your Barga.

The Barga Who series. Or when even when you can use a powerful Barga the battle is so much more impressive if your awesome NPCs help survive and are crucial in the massacre. Stellar Proteus! I want one of those...😋😊

At some point, I won't be surprised if the EDF series becomes the go-to game for Benchmarking purposes 😂.
Wait holy fuck, that Nyx has fast locking missiles, a Power Dyne, two sustain dps with decent range lasers and not Saber's mobility of a slug? Man, pretty much a lot of gears got buffed, huh?
Bad news. Short answer. Almost all old style AR gear was nerfed. A lot.
Long answer. Sandlot crushed the AR to death. His old style weapons (bombers, satellites, etc) except limpets now require either lots of points or take forever to reload. Examples: a fully upgraded Phobos required 1153 points in 5, now 3460 points in 6, Bulge laser Z reloaded in less than 31 secs in 5, now it's 62 secs in 6. Most old style attacks on points only work in missions where there are lots of enemies or high value ones (silvers spiders...). Timed ones only if the enemies come in waves with time to spare.
On the new Eiren IV Nyx and others. Vehicles are nerfed in points too. The RedGuard level 80 at 1 star requires a whopping 20186 points. Most vehicles now require a bazillion points and in simple missions it's difficult to get one of them, let alone summon another.
The Eiren is interesting because it has a walking speed perhaps slightly faster than the RedGuard. But gets stuck easily and to fly/jump you can't hit anything as it stalls. The cannon is quite good at 17500 penetrating damage, but only 5 shells. The Mirage like tracking weapon is good, but not stellar as it will not guarantee hits. The lasers have a reasonable range, but low damage, thankfully a huge clip is standard. Considering all it's still by far the best new AR weapon, since frankly the drones mostly suck or are stupid.
AR is a heartbreaking disappointment in 6, worst class by far. Only fun in messy and chaotic missions, and old style ones that allow the old weapons and vehicles to be used.
@@cris3f that is unfortunate to hear. air raider was my favourite both in 4.1 and 5
@@avchoo On 4.1 my fav class was the WD, she was the classy guerrilla warrior, but AR did grow on me a lot. On 5 it's by far the best class, he's the brains guy so strategy and knowledge are important and has by a mile the most varied kit which means that many weapons are viable to solve the same missions. For the other 3 classes usually 99.99% of players will just use 10 or 20 weapons, me included.
The problem with AR is that it's by far the most complex class to really learn and most people don't even bother. So many times I just have to laugh at the weapon choices most people playing with the AR online do for the mission they're going to play (Vesta in a mission with just drones, limpets on Scorched Earth (good luck having any chance to use them😂😂), Tempests in missions with onslaught waves of small stuff, oh boy so many examples I could give). Although the fencer has an initial steeper learning curve, once you pass that it's done. Even these days I'm always learning new stuff for the AR in EDF 5.
@@cris3f indeed, the pure versatility in air raider's kit is what makes him fun for so long for me. like you said, the other classes have *those* weapons that are good, and the rest just don't feel as good. while air raider has a lot of different ones that can more or less accomplish similar goals. though i have lost count on the amount of missions i had to restart because of certain enemies appearing that i simply was not prepared for. but when you have the right tools it's a clean sweep
@@avchoo Congratulations on finding this on the AR. Very few people do.
Yes sometimes finding the right weapons for the AR that will work better on a particular mission isn't easy, but that's what's so fun with him. Also, you have to know what you'll get and when, so that you can choose the right tools and prepare them for the job. You're always learning things with him. Just a few days ago I was trying to do an online solo run of mission 2. Nothing was working nicely and my 2 successes were basically awful. Then I noticed the Phobos 10 which I never used, and it worked like a charm and solved a few others I was having trouble with.
I started publishing videos because although there are excellent runs way beyond my abilities for the Ranger, WD and Fencer by the japanese pros, many of the ones I saw for the AR I found to be very lucky prone, overly complex or using stuff I usually refuse to (helis, limpets). And there's a lot less stuff for the AR than the other classes in japanese videos (well there's crap but that's not interesting or helpful)
On 6 the Ranger stole the turrets which was a really stupid move, but part of the make the Ranger the best class idea. He does have a lesser replacement in the backpack, but backpack items are activated when installed so you can't prepare them tactically. Decoys now activate once you install them which is beyond stupidity as they're useless. Enhancement guns are gone, only turrets are available, so no more buffing other players or NPCs from far.
When is this coming to the west😭
6 months to a year.
Took 1 year for EDF 5 to be launched in the west. EDF 6 has a LOT more dialog and text so it's going to be much harder and require more work to translate and dub in english (and I'm positive it will be english only again). They do have a lot more money now, hopefully, that will help. Let's face it Sandlot and D3 (and Namco Bandai now) always neglected the western market for these games, if they didn't the obvious choice was to launch the game in japanese and english at the same time.
The only positive side is that the game is highly playable in japanese if you played any western version before. That is you don't care about the story (I don't give a damn about it 😁😁) as that won't be understood if you're not japanese fluent, and using something like google lens becomes a huge PITA.
To West or Global?
@@TsunaXZ West and global are released at the same time (everywhere except Japan). I think there are usually Chinese and Korean translations, besides English.
cant wait 2 get it on pc steam
Sadly likely to take a long time. 1 year has passed and no glimpse of western version on PS4 / PS5, so...
@@cris3f yeah sadly but we ar gonna get it on edf 5 we had 2 wait some time to i think ^^
I really really hope we get a US release cuz I really wanna play this game but sadly it’s only in Japan atm and if anyone knows how I can play it now plz let me know
Only choice for a while will be to buy the Japanese physical or digital verions. The game is easish to play in japanese if you played 5, menus are in the same positions, and most weapons are the same. You'll know in a snap the ones you want or need, and can use the jp wiki with a browser with translation abilities to check the weapons for each class if you need.
@@cris3f got it thank you very much I’m a huge fan of EDF and I played a lot of 2025 4.1 and 5 and iron rain
Is this footage from PS4 slim, PS4 pro or PS5?
Plain PS4
@@cris3f sorry a bit late, so EDF 6 is coming for PS4 too?
@@frost1842 Of course. I don't have a PS5, so this has to come from somewhere doesn't it? 😋😊
@@cris3f nice very nice, same as i still don't have PS5😑
how's blue Nix this fast
AR sucks on 6, was just a little candy to entertain...
2:11 is that a Blue proteus
All Proteus are blue on EDF 6. They do look better. The level 80 BMX10 Proteus Sigma, the best you can get, at least for now, has a cannon on the right arm and a greenish laser on the left side. Better speed than on EDF 5, but still slow as molasses, not even remotely close to the NPC ones. Takes forever to raise the weapon and the range to aim is very limited. And no pink laser (taking into account that the cosmos pink laser is much more powerful than the white one the same should apply here).
Sadly Proteus is only really useful on muliplayer. 3 coordinated people preferably.
