For all Armored Core fans.

Post by Kaori »

Okay I made this topic to pretty much cover all the armored core games to date from 1 to for answer, and here is one schematic for anybody who plays for answer:
(Weapons are not in the layout to allow personal preferences. This AC schematic has its various advantages outside of its flight capabilities, such as its large hangers which can hold larger weapons.)
Head: Hilbert-G7H
Core: ARGYROS/C
Arms: ARGYROS/A
Legs: LO2-ALBIREO
FCS: 047AN0S
Generator: ARGYROS/G
Side Boosters: 03-AALIYAH/S
OverBoost: ARGYROS/AO

And can anyone please give me a tip on how to deal with the arms fort giga base?

Giga base blind spot underneath it, there are turrets there that can be easily destroyed. Use the blind spot when switching sides of the base to destroy the missile launch pads. To dodge missiles when out in the open just fly around using your side boosters and the more missile pads you destroy, the less damage you take and when all the pads are destroyed the mission is complete.

I still haven't gotten to play anything past Last Raven, and the only ones I missed were AC2, AC2:AA, and Ninebreaker.

My favorite so far was Silent Line. I always tuned mine simple, 2 legged, low energy cost, high cooling and energy, just enough to handle the weight while keeping my AC light for the movement, slap on the best machine gun I can put on, and the biggest reticle I could find no matter how shallow. I tore threw arenas like they were a joke.'

The biggest problem I always noticed was people using the most powerful boosters, but paying no attention to the energy cost. They'd have 5-8 seconds of boost before they ran out, get stuck being slow, and say I'm cheating because I could maintain a constant boost for 15-20 seconds. It doesn't matter how powerful your boosters are, if they get you our of the way of missiles they're good.

A tip for anyone who is going against the white glint is to equip a rapid firing weapon like the back mounted machine gun that comes with the AC if you chose to ally yourself with Omer, just get a decent lock on the white glint and fire away, just dont forget to evade his shots though, and when going against any arms forts just equip rockets and boosters that can give you decent air time.
