I tried emptying my guns ammo to test punching, I found that all damage is reduced by 50% and you have basically 0 melee thrust. Also your boost last so much shorter than any booster and generator combination that recreates that short boost Also you can see the stats of the Jailbreak from the replay menu, there is no FCS and generator combination that can recreate the same stats.
@@NEilYHYJailbreak in Escape doesn't use OS Tuning, so it lacks damage in general for Kinetics and Explosives. Also, no one really pointed out that the FCS and Generator is really hard to pinpoint.
Imagine you are a machine, overpowering everybody else, designed specifically to stop Coral Disasters, and you get fucked up by a literal piece of junk.
I did the exact same thing! I actually tried to fight him but couldn't find him, like he ran away? Idk, but I thought it was hilarious when he started getting petty. "That's not even the worst part, you ignored me!" So now I know what V.II is for: he acts like he's 7 years old. 😂
The "out of nowhere" deaths on the Walter fight are caused by the coral missiles, they are pretty slow and home on you dealing GIGANTIC amounts of damage.
Cool secret about this mech is that it is a solid S ranker. It has some of the cheapest repair cost per missing health I have seen this far so it is less departmental to the mission ranking.
Ironically, the jamming gun does work on Baltaus. It completely shuts down his missile spam, which turns the first phase into a chump. But sadly, you wouldn't have been able to stunlock him with the jamming gun. But it's a surprisingly good option against him if you have better weapons.
Rusty: "You guys are out of luck... there's only one other pilot who can keep up with me..!" Raven, desperately trying to keep up in a rusted pile of scrap metal:
What impresses me more than the sheer insane amount of willpower, skill, and patience to complete this run, is having legitimately hilarious commentary while sounding like a dead inside middle school teacher
Yea dual weapons in general make them way better. Sucks you only have 2 shoulder weapons after the fact tho. They should add some leg missles or waist missles lol some gundam heavy arms love. Of course that would thow off the balancing of the game...but i feel we shouldve had 6 weapons. At least for pve. Like having a permanent blade and grenades or somethin lol endless possibilities. Maybe in the next installment 🤷♂️
I've been doing this challenge too, though I'm sticking to only allowing the weapons you get during the Jailbreak mission. It's been a total nightmare so far
Ironically, the Jailbreak arms are actually pretty good. I can't explain why, but they are the best arms for my AC, allowing me to min-max the crap out of it, so it is super speedy, while packing good firepower.
Me either. Granted I could’ve finished it long ago if I wasn’t so adamant on S ranking every mission I’ve completed but I am almost done with my first playthrough
Quick tip: if you're ever stuck on a boss, get your quick boost to be pretty fast and equip two shotguns and double missiles for secondary weapons, that should do the trick
@znoiks7915 still requires skill to pilot it in order to land the shots. Couldn't do that build on the allmind, so I resorted to a complete tank and double gatling and double electricle needle build.
Knowing that you can literally punch Balteus to death completely invalidates any criticism that he's "too hard." Feel like such a moron for not trying this on my first playthrough lol
That ALLMIND fight @48:58 was spectacular! No more bullets and a few shoulder ammo. You did us proud tourist! Edit* I had it paused to comment at the aforementioned time and saw you trying to punch once more. DAMN!!!!!!
I would be against you changing up the build but the fact you don’t bring the needle launcher to the ice worm makes it all right. Cause that’s the one time I’m fine with changing a part of the build.
Just a tip, when you're fighting the Tetrapod just before the Smart Cleaner, shoot all the canisters on the ceiling before the fight; it removes all the other MTs and does a bit of damage to the Tetrapod.
I thought it was silly how most the mechs you encounter have a specific schematic you can upload (provided you have the parts), but it didn't have one for Jailbreak.
I have been attempting the run on the stock Loader AC. I am past Enforcer, unfortunately I am forced to use the Stun Needle against the Ice Worm, but otherwise I have beaten every NG mission up to this point with the base build and OS upgrades.
Just checked the presets on my end. Its not there even though I swear i remeber using it! For reference ive done every achievement xcept S rank all missions. So unless thats the unlock requirement, I dont think a preset exists.
I… may be a small minority, but I actually genuinely enjoy the LING-TAI generator. Yeah it’s statistically bad, but on a lightweight you can do some shenanigans if you know how to supplement or replace most of your quick boosting with other FCS-confusing motion.
This is surprisingly "harder" just looking at this than doing the default build(the starter AC and gear in the intro mission). I'm currently doing that run and barely got to Ibis. For this run though, bro you pretty much became an MT and got sick of all the BS
I've been doing this challenge myself and I was wondering about when you changed the weapons, what your reasoning was? I have been using OST upgrades (mostly just for purge and kick tbh) and have managed to proceed decently far. You brush over it as "The enemies got too annoying"
@@mdooz6058 I do have Chapters 1 and 2 and half of chapter 3 on my channel ATM, but it's more like a full playthrough rather than a properly edited challenge video ATM. I might edit together a full challenge video when I'm finished with my run, but it's really just an idea that I liked the idea of. I did start with all the upgrades unlike in this run though. I don't think the upgrades actually make too much of a difference to the run before the point where you can buy all the upgrades that matter for the build. (For example, there's not really any point buying the upgrades that increase how much health the repairs give because the mech has so little health)
@Mythic_Menagerie My reasoning for changing the weapons was because of a mixture of reasons. Too low on ammo, weapon weakness and range, the short amount of health on the frame, enemy annoyance and accuracy, my patience, and lack of skill. Also note that this was done before the patch that came out that buffed the Ludlow machine gun. That buff would have probably made me continue using the OG build for a bit more, but I fell like I would have eventually still changed by build a bit later in the run (probably around the Enforcer) than when I did.
@@Worn-outGamer4 sorry of my question came across as aggressive, just saw now and realized it could have. This is a good answer, thanks. Was just trying to figure out if there was a specific obstacle I need to try and find a mechanic to beat. I already found the best way to fight one boss was to just toss all my weapons on the floor immediately so
I didn't really use it against the usual enemies in the game cause of their small health, but I did occasionally use them in the boss battles to see its effectiveness. It seams like it did mess with their lock-on a bit but no enough to save me from the barrage of missiles sent towards me from Balteus or the Sea Spiders close range lasers. It also would mess with my lock-on as well.
@@Worn-outGamer4 Yeah, made the comment before seing the Balteus fight. From what I know of the smoke, it block the targeting of everyone that is directly on the other side or out while you're in. But if the two of you are in, you can still target each other. I think it's mainly an AC vs AC kind of weapon, to mess with missiles lock on. Balteus and the Sea Spider are not AC, so kind of not surprised it did not affect them. Still unfair though, mainly for Balteus, but it would make one of it's main attacks useless.
@@Worn-outGamer4 oh! So fun fact, the jamming grenades are a janky mess and the best way to use them is actually to fire them at your own feet or position or in between you and the enemy rather than put the enemy in the aoe. The aoe doesn't apply a debuff or just blocks line of sight
your times on some bosses in the rustbucket is actually better then my first time on a lot of these bosses.. I gotta salute your efforts because i know i will NEVER do this XD
The fact that not only did you do it in that ac, but you did it all while not locking on. That's even more impressive to me granted the accuracy boost you get is worth not locking on. Just an FYI tho, don't even bother trying to kick without locking on, it just won't work really without locking on.
It took me awhile to realize that if I just focus on Igauzu the sea spiders would be destroyed by him in second phase haha took me about 26 mins of retrying the boss to 100% the game
@@Worn-outGamer4 Each mission you complete you get a loot box, which comes with one weapon and one non-weapon thing at random, weighted towards garbage. Additional loot boxes are in the cash shop at 5 dollars per box. Also every item other than your starting gear degrades, so can only be used for 5 total missions before it's gone. That would be EA mode.
unless you've modded the game, the jailbreak used for the mission "escape" is actually unique build that can't be replicated one to one.
What's unique about it? Does it have some sort of shitty BAWS internals that we don't have access to?
@@deweythecowprobably something to do with the repair kits and probably the thrusters and gen

@@nialltealeaf275 Wall-E did get smooshed to death though, lmao. Wouldn't have survived without Eve.
So the end of AC VD, where a rebuilt NEXT is stomped by a junkyard normal?
imagine being a high ranked pilot in the arena and then gets bonked by an AC that is more closely related to an engineering AC than an actual AC
I ignored Snail because I was low on ammo, and his dialogue changed during Balteus II to a rant about how pissed he was that 621 ignored him qX
Didn't know that. Next time I'm going to ignore him to hear that dialogue.
Lmao, sounded like a lose lose situation for 621.
Its unbecoming of a Snail to be SALTY. He'd give Iguazu a run for his sodium

I can almost feel the amount of hatred Snail must of had for you to not only show up in that mech, but to beat him with it twice.
For the record its not an HC. HCs are a PCA specific craft, what you are referring to is a Heavy Tetrapod MT., or just "Tetrapod".
I love how often Michigan asked you, what you were doing - Really made the Challange more authentic xD
I'm sure someone has already said but just in case they haven't, those early Tetrapods are not HCs, they are Heavy MTs.
Funny thing that I found that the Ludlow you're using in the jailbreak mission deal far less damage than the standard ones
Yeah I realized that during the Escape mission. Shame we can't gain access to those parts.
I imagine that they didn't update the Ludlow in the mission to the buffed version with the recent patch, hence why it's weaker in comparison.
@@StrikeNoir105E nah, it's really that bad even compared to the prebuffed Ludlow
In-game reason could be that the gun is also garbage and not well maintained.
@@nguyenhuutrung3413 Iirc, Carla says that RaD patched it up for you after the mission, explaining the increased stats.
The fact that you did the worm without the needle impressed me to no end!
the ludlow is actually very good; just lackluster as your only hand weapon
Facts. Dual ludlows are what I used to S rank everything.
Also use a ludlow as a primary in a "throwback" build to an AC from Project Phantasma

Good luck on your run! It's a challenge even with the recent update.
As someone that has been primarily using the Basho the moment i unlocked it this makes me happy to know there’s another clanker
Basho head is just cosmetic heaven
I built a basho based ac i call Uber MT
The rivets on the torso and the legs kinda ruin those parts for me, however the head and arms are drippy as hell.
@@deweythecow I like them it gives it a WWI tank look
Part of why your melee attacks fling you is that the kikaku have the best melee thrust stat in the game.
The way you punched him in the balls in slow mo, after the AC was already defeated. comedy gold.
Ironically, the Jailbreak arms are actually pretty good. I can't explain why, but they are the best arms for my AC, allowing me to min-max the crap out of it, so it is super speedy, while packing good firepower.
