i genuinely had no idea multi lock existed in 4th gen i would just hit the button i never considered holding it to spread out my locks... and here i am considering myself a vet... learn something new every day
BISMUTH and ZINC were the first missiles to ever deal energy damage, niche as they were on account of being Kojima warheads. The Plasma Missiles in Verdict Day were really helpful though. Those could scare a lightweight or middleweight with surprise TE damage if they didn't know which sounds to listen for.
When those arm-installed rockets were introduced, I was completely mind blown that they'd make such a bold move, and was hoping such a thing would be added back into AC6, but it seems missiles actually got a lot less attention in the more recent title- with there not even being any countermeasures against rocket salvos this time around.
Once quick boost was introduced, as far as I'm concerned, missiles mostly became a non-option. Once you understand the basic physics of dodging missiles, judicious quick boost use counters them all. Given how many enemies are AC's or simply change direction randomly, missiles aren't really a primary choice to me. I've just learned how to get the job done with more practical weapons that don't fail as soon as an enemy AC appears and starts properly dodging them. NOW, having said that, I do admit that in AC6 I've enjoyed the plasma missile launchers as support weapons, primarily because they have a large AOE and an apparent proximity fuse, making them great for shaving off health, splattering groups of trash mobs and building up enemy stagger bars. (I don't really like that they introduced a stagger system; what is this, Sekiro? But I live with it.)
@@A-0602 tbh it sounds very intended. specially cause it started with old footage, its very fitting. could be a trademark :D i would edit that intentionally, just not all the time. i dont mind that its an actuall tec issue. its fitting afterall and makes your vid special, in my view atleast ^^
What about the ammo expense after every mission?! I just started AC1 for the first time and that's one of the main reasons I try not to rely too much on them 😅.
