ARMORED CORE 6 - Attack the Dam Complex [S RANK / NO DAMAGE] 

Thanks

Yoow Killer what's up. Good stuff man, running the challenges in Vanquish really got me into learning the nitty gritty details and I came to appreciate the mechanical depth even more by running this mode. Lots of replayability if you're into this kind of stuff. 🙏 As for AC, I only played 4A myself before playing 6 and I think 6 is a lot more accesable then previous installments. There's a new lock on system that really simplifies aiming once you get used to it, new stun and stagger mechanics and strong melee attacks. Also think the garage and building elements are a bit less intimidating and overwhelming then they used to be. ✌

Great to see you still KILLIN THAT SHIT brother !! Very nice The challenges seem alot more technical, now that I really start working on them. God Hard had some extreme sections but it didnt change up enemy arrangements like this mode. It seems like ALL the enemies rush you immediately in the Challenges even though they are only set to Normal or Hard difficulty. Maybe its just the combinations of enemies at the same time that make it feel more aggressive. I noticed I really cant hang back and snipe enemies out too often. Have not played in a long time, so Im jumping straight into these. Ive wanted to complete these challenges since the 360 game, so its time. Challenge 6 seems brutal from what Ive seen. I'm currently on Challenge 4 and got to the final wave. Nice. Good to see that. I like games that have that depth and difficulty, I just tend to space out when things get too complicated. Im thinking that I will really like all the customisation. Going to check out more of your recent vids on the game too. I will probably be back with some questions whenever I start that one up. So many games in the backlog. @@ZikosRealm

Yeah they throw a lot of enemies at you at once, and there aren't any NPC's so they're all focused on you. I think most of the enemy AI and attack frequency in the challenges is similar to Hard, but I know for sure the Bogey Bro's AI in Challenge 6 is set to God Hard. Luckily their HP is set to Normal. Good stuff, I'm rooting for you man. Challenge 4 def has the most difficult final round out of the initial 5. You'll want to save at least 1 EMP going in, no matter which strategy you intend to use. Depending on who you ask, completing Challenge 6 for the first time is usually one of the most intense and rewarding things they ever did, or one of the most frustrating experiences ever haha. It's a bit less daunting for people who completed God Hard but it def requires dedication. Practice and play it somewhat consistently so you don't burn yourself out, and look at every bit of progress like a victory in itself. You can do it man! Hit me up if you have any questions. @@theconsolekiller7113

Appreciate all the feedback brother. Right, thats a good point about there being no NPC's to distract the enemies. Its good the bogies dont do God Hard damage at the end as well, that would be a nightmare to beat at the end of the challenge. The challenges will probably be the hardest thing for me in the game, since Im better with short but brutal sequences over replaying sections again and again (endurance). Yea, thats what I have to do with these challenges. Im trying to plug in 30-60 mins daily to prevent myself from getting too pissed off, ha ha. There were times when I could tolerate hours of straight abuse, like in my mission mode Ninja Gaiden Black scoring days, but even then I was super restless and had to work around that. The best way was to look at it as plugging in X amount of time per session or day and doing it consistantly. I was smoked after 30 mins today on challenge 4, but getting close. Right, I saw that theres an EMP pick up right before the 4th wave, so knowing that is very useful. I will try to save one for that final wave. For wave 4 I usually throw an EMP to take out all the flying enemies, then throw a cigarette, move to the back of the arena and use another stun grenade to stun the tank, then shotgun it in the back. Not sure if that will be a consistant strat yet. Right the small progress is huge. I try to inch myself through these types of challenges until I complete them. Another one in progress is Ghosts N Goblins Resurrection on Legend Mode, but I think I will work on one super extreme challenge at a time, ha ha. I saw there is an infinite grenade glitch but seems hard to utilise heavily and might feel a little overpowered if I really learned it. I did it once but it wasnt too helpful in that case. Havent messed with that too much. The dodge boost roll and cancelling reloads for the rockets is about as advanced as I get. Keep KILLIN THAT SHIT !! @@ZikosRealm
