Dialogues you may have missed in Ice Worm mission Armored Core 6 

*chuckles* ~I'm in danger~

Pretty much more adrenaline and pressure tbh.

Dammit, you beat me to it. Nice. :D

no joke that's one of those ''0 to 1000'' moment

COM is trying to get in the joke

I managed to keep him until the 3rd phase but the dumbass was too close when the worm used the christmas tree attack and one shot him and snail

​@@DrenixI'm quite sure in 3rd phase the only one remaining is always chatty, never had anyone else survive.

Snail is guaranteed to drop out at the last 1/3 of the healthbar. If there's a way to keep him alive i don't know it, he always just retreats at phase 3 of the fight. If you're quick you can definitely keep Chatty around to see the end, i've actually done it. Timing is tight on the last two blasts but it's certainly accomplishable if you hit your needles. Iguazu is 50-50, i've had him survive to the last phase and then disappear without a single word or even while the worm was underground (in the run i managed to keep Chatty around he just vanished at some point, like he ran off during the battle and nobody commented on it - left no wreck, no radio comms, etc) - it may be possible to keep him alive but head bringer is made of paper mache so you'd have to land every stun ASAP and pray that iguazu doesn't iguazu.

​@@One-Week-Wizardi think keeping Chatty alive is one of the requirements for S ranking this mission (or it's just a consequence because of the probable time requirement)

@@magatsu_izanagi-picwhen I got my S Rank only Snail was alive.

Lmao hahahaa

The timing of that 😂😂😂

I arrived to comment JUST THAT. I'm glad I'm not the only one because god that was a great ambush for commentary. LMFAO

Gotta love how he tries to boss Freud around when you fight him and Freud’s response to it.

@@QuantaSolace "Yeah, yeah, I'll ignore the mercenary." "Now, where were we?" I forget the exact lines, but this is basically it. Also, considering how much Snail hates being ignored (as evidenced by how if you ignore his 1st confrontation on the Xylem during the LOR path he will get super salty during his next encounter), he was probably fuming.

Snail is probably the 1 of the 2 most memorable characters in the ac6. voice actor really knocked it out of park. "I AM ARQUEBUS!" this line makes kicking his ass in balteus kai feels 100x better.

​@@teacupbirb4711 If I remember it's closer to Snail saying "you can ignore the mutt" and his response is "Yes Snail, you're right. Now where were we?" As there's a slight audio distortion to indicate he cuts the comm with Snail I missed exactly what happened the first time I fought him, and didn't realize the backhanded remark

@@Coreykun Yeah, I loved that double meaning behind Freud's words as well.

Ayre: sigh

One of the best lines in the entire game. Unfortunately, there's no dialog for actually killing the worm without the stun needle. It's incredibly tedious, so don't bother.

@@alexlowe2054 a very missed opportunity.

​@@alexlowe2054I almost did it once. Then the worm came out from under me one shotting me. I did the mission normally after that

Tip for people doing no needle, bring dual Harris rifles. They do a lot of damage, and shooting both fits most of the attack windows!

there was actually an original concept for that ending, i dunno know if there was hesitation or thorough explanation, but there was a conflict among the writers and game development branches that tried to fit in multiple endings, there's the redguns ending, the Vesper ending, the RLF ending, The overseer ending, and the AllMind ending. but i guess due to these conflicts these endings had to be converted someway. this was a similar issue they had in For Answer.

I wonder is possible dlc could have us joining the vespers and the red guns?

what was the for answer issue? @@HeyPachuco

@@connormchale2039 it would of had more interactions with collard pilots that weren't featured in the game, and made more impact to the endings depending which one you picked. Such as Mrs Theresa appearing along side with neo nidus Vero nork being killed by you and old king. And buppazugan having more dialog with Wong Shao lung and his vendetta against him and the Wolcott family. Hari also appearing as an ally on defending the anti satellite cannons. Just tons of scrapped concepts to rush a game they wanted to release. I guess these features were just too big or too vast to fit in and feared they would cause some controversy contradiction among ac fans that they kept it small and more about gameplay.

Even then they'd find a way to end them somehow. But it'd have been nice if we had two true corporate paths. They made us spend more time with the RLF than they ever did Balam.

What about when we kill "invincible" Rummy "MAD STOOOOOMP"

Freud also refers to his by name. In a way that is very reminiscent of Rummy’s line. Intentional? Maybe

glad you have a good time, buddy!

Because Michigan was the one taking command in this mission. He was not the type that would intervened an other person operation.

this is a balam operation Michigan is the Mission control here and Walter doesnt seem the type ot intervene in someone else's operation.

2 more people when you listen to like 6-7 while trying to destroy a super weapon, you gonna hear a ringing like iguana

While i wish it were true, like everyone is saying its a joint operation with Michigan in command, thats why Carla has Chatty send us a message Fun fact she had another one too that is in tbe game files but cant be triggered she has chatty say a line similar to michigan for us on her behalf and Ayre gets annoyed saying thats easy for her to say, really she just doesnt care for Carla the way Iguazu doesnt care for us

@@glatykoffi6672 totally agree, unlike Ayre is annoyingly telling us to do the most obvious action all the time in this mission

He forgot to mute. It happens.

Someone’s gotta hype him up. But yea. Happens to the best of us😂 even if you are Arquebus

I think that's when he died too soon? I remember hearing that once before, where he somehow die before the 3rd phase

The music cutting out made it for me. One of the biggest 'woah' moments in gaming.

“I won’t miss”

@@aydennuula979It’s like audio hit-stun, *soooo good!*

Reminds me, someone made that scene an emblem on the subreddit.

One…last…PLAN!

EAAARGH!!!!

Confirmed..V.II Snail...down

Sounds like it's over...

⁠good job taking down snail buddy. I…just about mana-(transmission lost)

Iguazu maybe Iguazu but he is still worth a lot of Albanys

Would say it is more of a discussion, Snail isn't feels like attacking Chatty but just posting a question, only that his attitude is same as always. His silence after Chatty kinda mean that he start thinking about that too. (The fact that he seize and use Ibis series in the end kinda mean that he do agree AI is not as bad as he though)

Bruh have you seen carla

​@reliantbelial2341 Nah, even Carla, at her worst, could never be on Snail's level of pettiness & arrogance

​@@reliantbelial2341 Carla actually backs up her words with action and competence.

​@@Mare_Manisn't it implied that she was the one who hacked comms in the mission where you fight the third filter? (Balteus)

@@devontheundivided9815 wait what's the second filter again? I thought the helicopter and Balteus were the only great filters

Yeah that line showed up for me while I had 100 or so AP left lol.

That shit made me fuckin BuUUuUsss, bussss

Truly the bus of all time

The arquebussy I'm so sorry

@@kaden-sd6vb This man made the ultimate sacrifice, doing what nobody else would dare to do.

“G13, show him his family’s divorce certificate”

That was the AI processing a response. Snail really made Chatty cook on that one.

​@@MichaelTheRead and if you really pay attention his way of speaking is really unemotional, its very... poker face or boring i think? So it kinda matches to him being an AI

AFAIK Snail is scripted to get taken out at the same point no matter what you do.

@@StrikeNoir105E funnily enough he's not, it's just so common. I've had him survive that a few times

ive found that it helps if you focus down the drones that show up after phase 1 despite Chatty telling you not to worry about them. Those things contribute a lot to the NPCs going down in my experience, either bringing one down themselves or softening them up for the phase 3 explosions to finish them off

​@@StrikeNoir105ESupposedly it's the opposite. Everyone but snail is scripted to get taken out.

It's very strongly implied that the overcharged Rail Cannon shot is going to break it and that you won't get another chance. It's just that they give you such a huge window that failing it is very difficult to do unless you're barely trying.

​@ProfessorHeavy1 Depends, you gotta go all out on damage in my experience. My first AC failed this mission despite always having ammo and being relatively close because I had no idea how much damage I was expected to do.

My first run has low OS tuning and no big shoulder weapons (main lightweight). I feel my heart racing when Ayre and Michigan screaming at me to kill it faster while my miniguns are overheating and stupid missile doing no damage to it. Whoever put dps check in final phase of this atrocious long mission, I hate you.

@@mekamk3674 you literally had dual miniguns and failed a dps check, how bro?

I agree, but they never said that they failed it. I do wonder how it got to a point where the Miniguns were somehow overheating though, that requires way too much sustained fire.

Actually, he's just a talented chatbot (hence, 'chatty')

Don't forget to smile, tourist. Real talk, tho, Chatty's great. So soothing and wholesome. No wonder Carla keeps him around.

No repair kits remaining

Those are carla's words, really. But Chatty has such a smooth voice for delivering them.

Screw it, I'll watch it again

nah he is a solo wing Pixie even if we ignore "Buddy" part. Garrus is your pet - shaped by your choices.

it says it in his arena profile

You can find out as early as his Arena entry, as well as a couple of RaDs talking in one of the missions

Wait I thought Carla told you as soon as she introduced him. Then again maybe it was his robotic way of speaking and also the telltale roboticness in his voice that Allmind also had that gave it away.

In JP, the AI voice is more noticeable. In EN, it just appears like he's a soft spoken individual. I thought when Freud said AI ACs are like the same, he was just being condescending.

​@@jactstone There's some notes in the side infor that reveal that AC combat basically stopped the unmanned combat machine age. Something in a human pilot always seems to out skill the AI, but not for lack of trying. Notably Allmind seems to know this too.

Snail is the type of guy to backstab himself for 1dollar raise

He is paid monthly not hourly.

I was lagging traveler my ac won't dodge right I think the control unit is damaged.

Childe getting hooked up with a mercenary supercomputer to get cyber-foul legacy and still lose because he picked a fight with THE 621 has to be the most Childe shit to happen on Rubicon.

Just don't shoot the Ice Worm when it downed. Makes Rusty shoot it again.

its hard to the point that many people claimed that team deaths are scripted. g5 is just that bad.

yeah, its confirmed in the final boss that the ringing is coral voices in his head because of his gen 4 augs. Though he specifically blames Ayre when she shows up for phase 2.

yeah the rinning is because Iguazu is a 4th Gen like 621 and due ot that he has the potential ot make contact with the coral consciousness. however because of chance(or not being exposed to the conditions 621 was that got them ot meet Ayre) he doesnt quite get a good read on this and instead of a clear voice, he hears a number of muffled voices with occasionally some words that mark a conversation that isnt directed at him, this manifests as a "buzzing" or ringing that apparently causes him quite a lot of distress. the only time where we see Iguazu at his full potential is at the very end when he manages to push out all interferences(Ayre and AllMind) to finally get mental relief.

Steam screenshot noise I believe

The Iceworm is a C-weapon powered by Coral the rining Iguazu is experiencing is because he is a gen 4 like 621: he is making contact with the coral consiconess, tho because of chance Iguazu's contact isnt firm, so all he picks up is the buzzing, that getsmore intense when near a large surge of coral or another entity that is making contact(like Ayre-621)

I failed it once while going for S rank. I shot it with the stun needle and took down the shields so I could strike the killing blow, but I couldn't move out of the way fast enough, so it just barreled through me and I died instantly.

It's not exactly a secret

​@@Mare_Manbut it isn't exactly not not a secret....

RaD isnt super secretive from what we can tell, since a front operation needs to be inconspicuous to be a good front.

Even if Carla was keeping it a secret, Snail has been doing experiments with AI ACs at this point. He was trying to figure out what makes human pilots so much better than AI so it would make sense for him to have looked into Chatty

Probably nothing since you can take its shield down without it anyway.

nothing because its possible to take the shield out without it

It's not a Secret in universe Ai controlled Acs are apparently not that uncommon, and if anything it seems that unless said AI protocols are Very Good they underperform.

Seconding
