Who needs you? - Steel Haze Rusty Dialogue | AC 6 

When he asks what drives you, I always just picture a german shepard with bandage wraps and either Ayre or Walter next to them with a tenis ball.

This line hits hard because of how helpful and important Rusty is compared to every other character in this game. Most have various beliefs but you never feel like anyone really cared about their cause beyond Rusty and Walter. I dunno why though but his AC design and importance in this game seems alot like Ostrava from For Answer

You're a threat, too powerful! An AC1 reference. "Those who wield too much power..."

"What drives you?" Money, war crimes, the lady in my head who calls me studmuffin, and money.

"Who needs you?" -Your mom

That 'Hope or Despair' dialogue should paint a lot more obvious doubt into his character has it had not been cut. A shame that lots of people see him as one-note just because they choose the [Fires or Raven] and his dialogue is full-on confidence of our threat, like ... duh? He has his doubts and it has been proven, Do we need to spell everything out for you like elementary school lessons?? They didn't even bother to account how grateful he was when he got us as allies in [Liberator of Rubicon] route, giving us every trust he had and even confidence that we could easily keep up with him or even out-fly him on a whim. Licking us all over like a dog got its new friend, he couldn't be even more grateful than that knowing the threat he might have to face, is now on his side.

7:47 - 8:07 This is totally the Armored Core 6 version of "So, have you found a reason to fight yet? Buddy.".

rusty has a different voiceline in ng+ if you defeat him last and trigger the arm exploding cutscene, something along the lines of "find your purpose, then we'll finish this"

1:40 The desire to violate the Geneva Convention and commit war crimes for the funny

7:55 is The NG++ quote after you beat him. "Something changed Since the last time (NG and NG+ ?), but you still haven't found a purpose " made me think rusty and everyone involved in allmind plan is kept on a perpetual cycle

Walter seems reluctant to make 621 fight Rusty. He only orders you "get through this alive."

If you go long enough in the original fight without fighting back, Rusty actually will call you out on it. I tried a pacifist run, going through 2 medical kits while just doing my best to dodge him and get him to stop shooting at me, before he called me out on it. It's been some time since I played, but it's a bit that no one else seems to have picked up on yet.

you never fail to impress, Grey

With all the "enemy ACS is down" lines implying a slower paced game with breaking ACS being a huge deal, I love the concept of Rusty pulling that "MOVE, Steel Haze!" and actually moving way sooner than he should have been able to. They of course managed something similar with his slow-mo "I won't quit!" terminal shield, which is always cool as fuck.

"What is it that drives you?" Forgetting to take my schizophrenia pills.

you trigger the inter coral line by just staring at the coral long enough. Can't remember how long though because I got it on my first playthrough

I am also coming, buddy

I can sort of see why they mostly cut the involvement of the RLF in NG++ because outside of Father Dolmayan, the RLF in general isn't really important to the third route.

Using the dual turret/dual Ransetsu build, I see. Saw someone preach its glory on Reddit, and surely enough, it shreds ACs left and right.

Did anybody get a weird cutscene after you defeat Rusty first before Flat

Flatwell sure is scared of us

"Tell me, buddy. What drives you?" TO SERVE WITH MICHIGAN IN A FULL ON BALAM ROUTE AS A PERMANENT RED GUN. BUT NOOOOOOO WE CANT HAVE THAT SHIT SMFH FROMSOFT

Wait, what about dying to Flatwell when Rusty's already fled? I would have thought there'd be a unique line for that.

I was always confused about Flatwell tbh. Bro entered, told Rusty to stop, then immediately started attacking the player anyway. I was really hoping he was coming to our aid instead. Also we don't learn why he's damaged I don't think, but I could be mistaken

Player: Rusty, why?! I thought we were war buddies! Rusty: Not anymore, buddy. Player: 🥺💔

I wonder what role was RFL was gonna be if they wernt cut off in the 3rd ending. Another decision mission between Rubicon and ALLMIND?

Rusty loses his left arm here, similar to Nineball in MoA

I up uphold Walter wish But i sacrificed everyone else, that included you too, buddy

"Yo buddy; still alive? and thanks friend see you again." -Larry Foulke

oh shit those crystals are coral?! cool

You know thats bothers me? That on NG+ (and NG++ for that matter) both Rusty and Middle Flatwell double-team you in the bossfight. Why the hell Flatwell even fights you in the first place?! (unless there's some cut dialogue which explains it be by being a test of sorts or FCS being dumb)

No line when you're killed by Flatwell?

7:47 Rusty basically ask if you are IRyS or Monokuma *Cultured* Edit: Welp, you got your answer. As of this edit, IRyS is streaming AC6. *Hope* it is, Rusty xD

what is the song at the end ?

The wolf cant beat a crow

You need to pick a better FCS dawg
