[ AC6 ] Invading COOP Games as Nightfall Raven 

The Pilebunker was very difficult to land while I was getting footage for this, but oh boy was it satisfying to see when it landed.

@@souper813 i'm guessing the secret to landing it is assault boost?

Doesn't nightfall kinda suck in the lore tho? Like the Cataphract is really surprised by how good 621 is which means Nightfall probably wasn't great

@@cabnbeeschurgr6440 the cataphract driver was surprised by the mismatch between how 621 was fighting and the simulator scenario for Raven, as these are different individuals.

@@cabnbeeschurgr6440 Cataphract mentioned a combat simulator for nightfall, which implies that nightfall is so good that some PCA forces regularly train in a simulation in case they come across him

It would be a cool mechanic in the base game ngl.

Really miss those missions where an enemy raven has a mid mission intro cutscene. Guard the Train was a real one.

I always loved it in project phantasma and MOA when arena AC's appear on the other side.

Iguazu hiring yet another assassin to kill C4-621:

It's facts. Ravens have been ruining your missions since Gen 1. I remember in AC another Age. There was a mission that your handler literally told you to run to the object so you could survive. Cuz two ACs were sent after you. This was like mission 7 or 8 lmfao

They nailed it with the sound design of the pilebunker. The amount of damage it does is amazing but you really gotta be accurate with your timing or a whiff could cost you your AC.

Ngl, the base AC frame can be pretty good with how little EN it uses.

⁠@@souper813that could make the Gills booster work even better, essentially giving you the closest thing to the NEXT movement system.

Now you say it Is nightfall an Odin Referencen?

In the first battle I have no clue. I guess dude just saw three Ravens and just decided he didn't want any part of that. In the other battle though we seemed to just ignore him completely funnily enough.

Cataphract captain just wasnt paid well enough

Nightfall already destroyed it

and went back to watch it and it is so funny watching it zip across the screen in a split second because it’s trying to keep up with the fight lmao

Agreed.

Imo, ACS overload as a mechanic in the PvP needs to be removed entirely. All fights just boil down to whoever stuns the other guy first wins.

@@souper813 I agree with this mostly. Right now, it feels like melee is only used as punish and I feel that's part of the reason. I think ACS strain would actually work better if it were a component of resource management, rather than offensive pressure. For example, if you're constantly spamming heavy attacks your ACS strain will build. Builds would have to incorporate some sort of compromise or risk straining their own systems and opening themselves up if they can't finish the job with their weapons.

@@souper813I’ve been whining about this since release as a 4th/5th gen player. The stagger system sucks shit in 6th and ruins a lot of the fun it has the potential for. Why do all my guns fire cotton balls until the enemy AC finally gets winded and decides to take real damage? How the hell is my internal software malfunctioning altering how my armor eats bullets? It’s not like I have PA that’s being stripped or my AC is moving in a way to absorb impact before the ACS shits the bed. And damage and stagger tend to be proportional so you’re never weighing the option of lighter weaponry when the only thing that matters is finding the heaviest gun possible to stagger followed up by a one hit ko from Ashmead or ML Redshift. In older gens weapons had trade offs statwise that made almost everything useful depending on playstyle. In 4th gen guns that stripped Primal Armor generally did less AP damage and vice versa so you had to weigh attacking opponents with higher DEF with more consistent damage against the option to clip their DEF and OB potential so your weaker guns could kill as efficiently with a slower target to boot. In 5th Gen Handguns and Shotguns had low ammo and damage, but they inflicted stagger on hit, not like in 6, but on basically every hit, so they could be used in tandem with a heavier weapon in the bay position or offhand to turn an opponent into a sitting duck, as well as having application in the Team modes as well since one player could be the nuisance slowing the target while the other members lined up a killing blow or moved on the objective. The stagger system in 6 is both unbalanced amongst the weaponry and deters a lot of playstyles since the damage wall is so damn high before ACS Strain.

@@souper813we need a mod that allows us to play as any of the bosses, someone already put the two final bosses together. (Spoilers if you click read more and scroll all the way down.) But it would be fun to suddenly have Balteus drop in and dump 50 missiles into who you’re fighting, or on you. it’s Ayre vs iguazu.

"Report your status, J."

I wish we got some 4th/5th gen parts, even as DLC. I would love to have the Aaliyah or Gawain Head and Jotun core. Getting to pilot Malicious/RIP3M would be a treat too

I guess BRANCH was desperate for some money.

Assault Armor my beloved.

Bro wants Dark Souls on roller skates

“The combat simulation has misled me, I can’t see him. I CAN’T SEE HIM! CODE 78E!”

I was not expecting the HC assist.

The gameplay I was able to present in the video was only possible due to my opponents luckily not running meta builds so its very unlikely to be recreated in a regular multiplayer setting. Though my honest advice for learning how to play this kind of build would be to be proficient in assault boosting and knowing stun duration for the pilebunker strike as the pilebunker is 90% of your damage. Fastest way to close the distance for a pilebunker strike is to engage assault boost and immediately cancel the boost with the pilebunker's melee animation. Doing this correctly keeps your momentum as the pilebunker charges. You can see this occur at 2:15 and 2:40 you especially want to do this if you or your opponent is off the ground. To practice this, I would suggest not trying it in the standard multiplayer. Instead, play in the Arena against V1 Freud, G1 Michigan and Nightfall Raven as these three appear to have the most aggressive AI and generally fight most similarly to actual players.

Mod on PC adds co-op, and invasions.

Unfortunately just like the regular PvP people have just began bringing meta builds (Dual zimmerman etc) and have also began just camping the mission start to insta kill invaders.

Ngl, I completly forgot the generator but I was running the Schneider booster that's on Steel Haze and the close range FCS with 90 close range support.
