Armored Core 6 Arena is Gatekeeping me. 

Wheelchair meta is op

This fight gave me such a damn run for my money. I managed to eventually get him by staggering him to dual back mounted lasers, but it took a while. He was surprisingly harder than most of the arena fights around his rank for me at least.

The only fight in the arena that walled me for any length of time was Maeterlink... Then I solved the problem the good old fashion American way.

Gatling gun with zimmerman shotgun, Songbird on the left and missiles on the right shoulder with bipeds and heavy core has got me through to chapter 3 and all of the arena so far without much issue ✌🏼 fun build and its not that op so it doesnt get boring

Dual Stun needle + dual Gatling gun trivializes every fight in this game

I saw the thumbnail and knew exactly where this was going lmao this dude doesn't fuck around

i just got to 18D last night, been running a light reverse joint with an MG and backup shotgun on the right and the starter pulse blade and a split missile launcher on the left, close range FCS, assault armor, and a high cap generator that leaves me alot of extra EN for recharge rate and tuned my melee damage all the way up and ballistic damage halfway up. my basic plan is outrun and out gun until i can get a stagger, only thing ive had any issue with in the game was the sea spider, basicaly playing the game like AC4 mixed with some of my vertical tactics from 2 and 3

Oh, it’s fucking Candle. I fought him a few hours ago trying to get some battle logs. That missile+songbird combo is pretty brutal, the only way I killed him is with my 1-2 Punch build (Laser Lance and Pilebunker). Destroyed him in seconds with that build.

I got thru all the arena using the dual ducket handgun, blade in left shoulder and the starter missile on the right shoulder.

There are some tough foes here. Arena testing our skills to the max.

I advice tapping linear/energy rifle when its firing missiles at you,then charge when your certain that their weapons are mostly reloading

Only 50 seconds 2 shotguns and double barrel cannon

Can't really tell if I'm using a cheese of some sort, but I blitzed the Arena super easy. And before any may ask, NO I didn't always rock zims or gats

I went back to fight this guy again with my missle and lance build, and it was night and day how fast he died in comparaison to the first time I beat him. Funny enough, I beat this guy by staggering him with pistols and than pilebunkering him into non-existence.

I discovered that the AI will not evade the shoulder double GL songbird or whatever it called for some reason. which turn this fight a cake walk, used this information as you will.

How people struggle in arena, like just grab big guns and shoot, i first try all the ones from f to b, i didn’t unlock the last ones

Howdy do! After finally watching some videos, it seems i might be pretty decent at this game. For bigger ACs, i recommend extreme aggresion at the start. Ideally a drive by stagger move on the way past, then immidiately camera switch once you pass them to face their back and punish. Don't forget shoulder weapons on the initial drive. I'd also recommend limiting the "heavy guns" on most bipeds bc stopping to fire is very risky without good timing. A good time to do this is right in their back pocket. Once you get the circling and movement, it just becomes a matter of resource management with energy and reload times. For perspective i cleared S rank 1st place in 30 seconds in a few tries. From what I'm seeing online. I believe that is good. Hope my tips can help someone who might be stuck as well.

Just hit rank 1 today, and this fight was still one of my biggest stumps.

Lol, i just used a laser blade and the pilebunker

Not sure if there's this option on console, but you can turn up the camera move speed. Aside from that, this fight was also very difficult for me, and weird as it is, I found some of the A - S rank fights pretty damn easy. 🤔

Light tank tread meta NPC bruh

Yeah I can definitely tell the arena has changed a lot and looks like they're not making it easy plus there are some weapons that can help you defeat these guys real easily without any regrets remember that super shotgun that we saw in the preview known as the one that's highly reinforced and capable of kicking their stagger bar up to full yeah that weapon would be perfect against this guy since he's a long-range ordinances but his cannons take awhile to reload so that gives you an opportunity to smack him down with a couple of shots and that you if you get in real close Pandora many different weapons to secret ones even and they're in the campaign storyline even the selection mission area you could even find and hunt down these weapons and armor that should be able to help you plus there are over 17 of them in total and they're scattered all over the place too during certain chapters that you've completed plus they're very worth it to find

I just kept running around and using my missile thay do lots of damage surprisingly

My method to beat hims relatively reliably was a biped with a plasma rifle in one hand and the medium laser rifle in the othe, with two.single barrel laser cannons on the back for when he got staggered

Can I just said that i cheat the fight with only missiles? Cause... i find it funny that using missile really is the strap but at the same time, I would come back and try on different strat like Bunker Shot combo or Lance of Light build.

I’ve noticed that a lightweight build with a shotgun and machine gun with two missile launchers melts every arena opponent, speed is key

I usually pair the charge weapons with a machine gun or melee (gatling if you got the load for it) and try to go for the insta stagger with the massive charge shot and go in with the other hand to deal the dps while they are staggered. They take MASSIVE damage during the time the bar is flashing red so that is the time you really want to be hitting them. missiles and the charge shot can often be plenty to get that bar staggered. also I find that backing up while firing missiles tends to make them hit a little more (unless your using the chain missiles then it straight to the face baby!)

I blasted through all these, the only real challenge was Carla.

I think you’ll find him again on a mission in chapter 3 as a combat log

One can say that failiure is the greatest master of all...

get quad legs and weapons with high stagger, you'll win in less than a minute

RU-vid keeps deleting my message for some reason, oh well. Awesome work on the compilation of tries! Glad you presevered in the face of adversary. How many tries did it take? My lightweight mech based on AC4FA with 28 rockets seems to do the trick for most things.

I've been avoiding pvp arena in this game because I don't want to just use the same Zimmerman/Songbird combo everyone is using. But it seems like it's the only truly effective weaponry.

I beat the wall mission but the is and arena won’t unlock

LOL get filtered.

Notice how most of the deaths were caused by momentum-canceling weapon animations. Just use basic weapons that don't give you such vulnerabilities, and he's kind of a joke.

have u fought a guntank?

I did the entire arena with double shotguns

when u have needle cannon everything will be ez
