Did you know you can accept Swinburne's offer and then immediately shoot him to kill him. It's actually the easiest ending and you get a unique voice line from Ayre. Pretty sure he's one shot after you hit accept. I've always hit him with something strong, though.
I also tried this challenge, but couldn't dodge Ayre reliably. I felt like I needed more speed or jump hight or fire power or something to beat this boss. But you did it! I'm impressed You even did the Ice Worm without the stinger and the other endings! Only thing: in the second ending, Balteus is the final boss. Walter is just desert
You seemed to be sleeping on the kick! It does good stagger buildup when used right-- great against a lot of bosses and ACs (provided you land 'em on the latter)
@@WyrmHeroBlade They unlocked it later on than they probably should have-- they could still use OS turning in this challenge, but only based on the new-game arena progression. They did unlock it eventually, but they didn't use it as often as they should have imo-- it slaps against balteus! A shame they didn't fight V.II Snail's Balteus form.
@@dianawinters1411 i'm currently on the final mission of chapter 4, and i literally finished Balteus off with my bare hands and a kick because i had ran out of all ammo😅. It was satisfying.
With the Meele thrust stat increase the og build becomes very strong. I do hope they add some of the PCA heavy paladin ACs, those look like an upgraded OG
thank you for this video, i am currently trying it myself and was stuck at the ice worm fight as i thought bullets and missiles couldn't reduce the shield enough but this video has given me new strength to cary on. thank you
Amazing job on persevering the fights that the ENTIRE GAME has to offer as Loader 4 and coming out on top! I have only done the Raven, Ayre, and Allmind fights myself (with max OS Tune for all 3) but I cant imagine how much more painful it is to do the whole game also with accurate OS Tunes…
Throughout my playthrough I mastered the art of my dual gatling gun build, so by the time I beat walter and ayre with that build I knew the ups and downs of the build, going into allmind i skipped like half of iguazu's dialouge and kicked his ass.
I feel your pain with ALLMIND, I didn't get the whole verticle movement thing, even though in hindsight it was pretty obvious, I spent hours getting to the very final section only to be immediately stunlocked into oblivion, it was so annoying because getting through the first two phases wasn't hard, just long and tedious, so it took whole minutes to get back to the part I kept dieing at every single time. I'm not proud of it, but eventually I switched to the tank build and... two tries, andnthe first one was because I didn't know how to drive on the tank treds, it made me genuinely angry that I spent so long ramming my head into that wall, getting through the first two phases with no repair kits used at times, only for the entire fight to be instantly trivialised by a tank build, this game does have an easy mode and I won't be told otherwise. Now that I know about the vertical movement thing, I'm going back to do it with my build, because in my mind, I haven't beaten the game yet, I got through three full playthroughs without ever switching out my legs and I let myself be defeated at the last hurdle, this will not stand.
Yea I had the same experience but I didn't switch even at the end I became obsessed with doing it with strictly bipedal and no Zimmer And yes I ran into the exact same thing I could get to the last phase with 2 repairs only to disappear out of existence in 5 seconds... The key is... Well it's hard to say it's all about moving up and down at the right moments he does telegraph his attacks well so once it clicks you can even do it no hit but getting to that point is another story
@@dragonslayer3552 My issue was that it took so long to get back to that phase every time, and he killed me so quickly at the past part that I wasn't able to learn his patterns. I think I only died to any of the other sections 2 or 3 times total, it was all that last part, it really annoyed me that the last boss was the most irritating. I spent hours at Cel too, but I never raged because the challenge felt fair and I could tell it was my fault when I failed. I wasn't even sure what was happenning with ALLMIND.
@@samaron8970 well if that helps the big laser sword's charged attack can obliterate all 4 mini iguazus in phase 1 in one hit if you time it well "you can still dash during the charge to cancel it if your sure it won't land" which saves a lot of time and especially ammo And can also insta stagger phase 1... again as long as you time it well Phase 2 don't bother with the flying spiders they will die when he enters phase 3 and both always do the same attack so as long as you see what the first one does the second will do the same and staying in the air basically makes it so that they can't hit you So yeah I hope that helps with reaching phase 3 quicker... It still takes time though especially if you mess up
@@dragonslayer3552 I didn't have the oscolator at the time, I was using redshift because its sweep did ok on the adds as well, and it did work on the bosses too, the first two phases weren't much of an issue, the problem was that the boss could combo me to death in the third phase reguardless of how many repair kits I had, he's activate my terminal armour in one combo, then kill me in the second. I swear I saw him chain nine hits one time.
@@samaron8970 yea I gave you those hints to get to last phase faster so you can practice on it Just focus on learning what each move does and how to dodge it and always try healing even when at 50% cause he will combo you to death When he does the airplane thingy fly up and then he always comes from behind for a melee followed by a triple shockwave that you can dodge by falling down since your on the air or going up if your somehow in the ground His melee attacks are dodged by dashing backwards but be careful not to deplete your energy if you spam dash Laser volley can be dodged by simply moving right or left but sometimes he will cancel it into a big beam that you need to be ready to side dash
I'm gonna do my own run of this game. The Body parts will be the same as [Loader 4] but the rest will be modified. Just because I also want that "Lore Accurate" cutscene and playthrough. Your video gives me determination. Thank you. I'm definitely getting a playthrough of the final NG++ against ALLMIND. Though I won't be as good as you in this video. Man. This is a good video to give you motivation!
I'm digging these challenge runs, keep it up homie! And (assuming this run was after and not before the Jail Break build run), it definitely looks like you got better, and that this run was easier for you, since that build is even weaker than this one!
As someone who completed all missions with Loader 4, with max OS Tuning from the start, it is super possible but BOY does it really require both patience and ammo conservation, especially against certain bosses.
Pretty much yep. I just started playing AC6 recently and the melee attack (esp the default blade) is actually quite strong. I'm currently about to finish Chapter 3 still using the stock blade and only using the range weapons for minor enemies (all rank matches and most bosses are too vulnerable with slashing). I'm honestly into a point wishing that the shield could be improved further and be allowed to used on the right hand as I don't usually use range weaponry so far.
i feel like they made the tutorial boss much easier... i just tried it again yesterday after the update and it never went fully outside of the map during the fight and only once brushed up against the barrier. tried it again and only brushed up against the barrier twice. its total health seemed slightly smaller as well and with less missiles (and missle tracking). also i encountered a super weird glitch that one time allowed me to hit a third melee attack with the cannon 621 AC. still have no idea how that happened
Now I have proof if anyone says that its impossible to beat the game without a custom AC! lmafo Great run! First vid I'm seeing of your channel, and its a great one at that.
Worn out gamer 4, about the drop in depth 1, it's not straight to the bottom. It stop when the thing closed and is located directly across the room from the place you open the hole again
This has given me hope! I've been slowly working through the campaign by deviating from the loader 4's build as little as possible, while still upgrading here and there. While I'm not stuck at any particular point, I was interested to know if there would be any serious barriers requiring me to change the build up significantly. Thanks, great video, awesome work.
There's not many points where the build would need to be changed a significant amount, the only real big barriers would be enforcer and cel 240, enforcer because its pretty accurate hitting shoots on you, cel 240 is more of a game of patience. It's best to wait out its attacks and focus on dodging. As for the last bosses Ayre and Allmind are both a pain and will want you to change you build. Thankfully hal 826 is just a AC vs AC fight but the boss before that fight the ARQUEBUS Balteaus is another roadblock that is a pain, so watch out for those bosses.
Great video as always. I had an idea for a challenge run. You could try beating the game using only weapons and parts produced by RAD the faction lead by Carla in the game. They are mostly gimmick weapons but some of them like the flamethrower and sweet sixteen shotgun are pretty cool.
This but with two missiles (plus kicking) was what I used to kill Balteus in my first playthrough! It took a lot of learning on that fight, but Loader 4 (I call mine Rook) is surprisingly versatile. After that fight I went dual Gatling dual songbirds and never looked back XD
Ice Worm with no needle??? I'm over here running *double needles* just for that fight, though I guess that's because I'm not one for challenge runs. Good job, man, can't even imagine doing this myself.
Allmind definitely is the most gruelling endurance fight in the game. Although perhaps two things would've alleviated the issues you had: Charge sword strike to instantly stagger the backup ACs in Phase 1, then tap a few times with the gun while they're staggered. (Optional) if you're efficient enough and can keep moving to evade Iguazu's bullets, aggressively strike the sea spiders one at a time melee included. They're far softer than the original, so breaking them quickly and effectively is also a way to prevent the many times they shot or sliced you down.
Hi Worn out gamer 4, it just come to my head as I was reading fanfic. How about a scavenger run, you can only upgrade your AC using parts of the opponent you defeat. A Vulture run if you Will
Amazing skills! you are good at this! I am trying this out also, just got Balteus a few minutes ago. I just have 198 hours of playing the AC6, maybe got the 3 endings 4 times now. I hope to finish it like you... Great video BTW :D
I spent a large majority of the mission going "when are you gonna take the kick.... when are you going to take the kick? w-when are you going to take the kick???" - I'm amazed at how much of the game you were able to do without it, like not like it's that mandatory but it'd certainly be a nice extra damage source to toss in (especially on bosses that are hard to stagger). You know the mission I was most concerned if you would be able to beat is the defend the strider mission, no boss just an unrelenting amount of really spongy enemies I swear that one kept me longer than some bosses did, I just figured the starter AC wouldn't have the ammo to do it. Kinda sad you didn't do the extra missions but I can understand that'd be a looooooot of time to play slight variations of missions. I am sad though that you didn't take on the Balteus rematch, but if you can outgun Allmind I'm pretty sure you could beat the sweeper balteus rematch combo.
This one is unedited, but here's Defend the Mining ship with the starter AC! I'm making a highly edited NG++ playthrough of armored core 6 with the starter AC only and have a few other starter AC fights uploaded on my channel: th-cam.com/video/nzIOjD0mgC0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=EALpePKQZtJak9oK
Also! Here's arquebus balteus: th-cam.com/video/WgFxOv8zjVw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=NHX28eEdhVGqkJFe Probably one of the biggest pains in the ass in the game. His damage output and huge shield are suuuuuper frustrating at times.
@WhitetailMusic Yeah I should have taken the kick early early on, as for the extra missions I tend to ignore them because I try to simulated a fresh new safe file when I do my challenge runs in this game because I don't want to lose all my progress. I'm very sure those ng++ missions are possible but as you said it would take quite a bit of extra time to complete.
There is a spot when descending in deep exploration 1 where you can move toward the wall and fall straight to the bottom without getting hit by the laser. Found it on accident, scaffolding looking one.
Tip for CEL-240: dont waste ammo when its neutral in 1st phase. It will dodge everything and spawn more lasers for you to dodge. Instead wait until it locks itself into an attack animation like the very telegraphed one it does at the very start of the fight, as it wont actively attempt to dodge, and you can reliably get to point blank range while it recovers from its landing
honestly feels like the only direct weakness of basic loader 4 is the internal parts being very weak. assault rifles are decent enough after 1.3, and the pulse blade is the mvp.
I know there's no difference, but in the Cel 240 fight it feels like every time you went down the "621!" from Walter was getting more intense for a bit. Great win, makes me wanna improve as a player!
Holy shit! I can't believe it. I've seen challenge boss fights using Loader 4 on Ibis & a couple others but not every single one. You forgot Strider, Cataphract & Snail/Balteus, unless they're in the video & I missed it. I wanted to call bullshit on the Allmind but I can't. I guess I can add Loader 4 to my AC's & play around with the colors & put decals on it. Maybe throw a different head just to say it's modified. For me Ibis & Ayre are the toughest bosses. They're the only ones that took me over 6 tries & hours to beat. But once I beat Ayre I said I am never fighting her again & I meant it. The bad ending I cried to. The toughest part of her fight is the dialogue & she's fast. Same with Ibis, Walter doesn't shut up.
I've beaten the game with the starter AC... And watched your video about beating the game with the junk build and took that challenge on the in NG+... I'm currently about to fight Walter...
I hit a wall at the PCA Warrant Officer and still refuse to unlock OST tuning. I've been so close and I really want to see how far I can get without Allmind's help
The challenge run I’d like to see is all s ranks, while getting every combat log. And no op weapons while you do that. So no songbird, stun needle or Zimmerman.
About Balteus and other bosses: For some reason, I love starting new game. When I was told that bosses were nerfed, I just downloaded pirated copy that have pre-nerf version. Kinda sad that they just did it without giving people any choice :/
the nerf didn't affect a whole lot, you're also missing out on the balancing of the weaker weapons, you also could of just used steam database to downgrade the game instead of pirating.
There’s a mod on Nexus called “Un-nerf bosses” not sure if it actually reverts them or just attempts to mimic how they used to be, but seemed interesting.
For another chllange... I saw a different video on "beating AC6 without moving" where Laser Lance+laser slicer was their only movement option. (the mad sonova actually did it) I cant find it anymore, and would love to see you repeat it so I have a video to point to.
When you think about it… Canonically, 621 would’ve blazed through the entire campaign for all three endings using the loader 4. I’m really curious how they managed to go through everything using a build that is kinda weak gameplay wise
Challenge aside, I found melee weapon from this build very useful and used for a long time during 1st playthrought. But will never try build as whole, as I want to relax with 2 Zimmermans in PvE and don't stress. :P Idea - Only shoulder without fists or only arms weapons challenge (2 Linear Rifles perhaps?)
You should try to play with dual lazer pistols with a build somewhere in between medium to light AC. I usualy equip a songbird and something else depending on the mission
IquanaMind... its pet C-Spiders... the damn arena occasionally allowing you to be pushed out of bounds and stuck in place to be beat down like we all like doing to Iguana... All of those made that fight lead to me breaking my Cardinal Rule... No Tank Warfare Simulator.... 2 minutes and 0 deaths later using the 2x JVLN Alpha, 2x Stun Needles, Wrecker, Ve-40A, Tian-Lao Arms and Bornemissza tank treads with the p10SLT and VP-20S with Assault Armor I beat him... he hard countered my lightweight build and my generalist builds though...
Btw, you don't need to do this, but: how about a melee only run, Escape level included? (can empty guns to throw for fists). Yes, Allmind phase 3 could be the most difficult stuff you could do with melee, but perhaps it could be interesting. Sawblades grinders though..figuring them out is going to be messy.
I have no idea why the starter ac doesnt have the shield you can buy at the start of the game. If it had it, it would fill all 4 slots, and be able to teach the player about guns, melee weapons, missiles, AND shields, all the weapon types in the game.
I just finished this game once and i didnt know ayre had so many dialogues in the fight with walter. i really liked the pile bunker and got good with it so the ending was pretty anti-climactic
Fighting advanced military mechas and eldritch war machines with a hunk-a-junk is truly the Mecha way.
Did you know you can accept Swinburne's offer and then immediately shoot him to kill him. It's actually the easiest ending and you get a unique voice line from Ayre. Pretty sure he's one shot after you hit accept. I've always hit him with something strong, though.
Pilebunker
A punch kills him, so most likely 1 ap
Did Walter teach you that?
I'mma probably start doing that now.
Kick him
"Silent Hill: Gundam Edition" Okay, take the like. You earned it just for that joke.
“I didn’t even record it…”😭😭😭
That’s gotta hurt man, I’m so sorry. You truly are an ace pilot for beating this in the LOADER 4.
Wow. The ALLMIND fight was pure grit and determination.
Holy moly. I just realized just now, that those flying things at the final boss are 2nd phase sea spiders.
Challenge run as the Tester AC. He just wanted a callsign of his own
I also tried this challenge, but couldn't dodge Ayre reliably. I felt like I needed more speed or jump hight or fire power or something to beat this boss. But you did it! I'm impressed
You even did the Ice Worm without the stinger and the other endings!
Only thing: in the second ending, Balteus is the final boss. Walter is just desert
32:02
"You can take it 621.."
*Explosion*
*dies*
"621!!"
Invincible Rummy's MAD STOMP only run!!!
"MAAAD STOOOOOMP~!!1"
Crazy to think that 3 minute long boss fights seem tedious and drawn out in this game. Just goes to show how fast the combat normally is
You seemed to be sleeping on the kick! It does good stagger buildup when used right-- great against a lot of bosses and ACs (provided you land 'em on the latter)
He is sleeping on it..... kick is too strong I'm surprised they didn't nerf them much
Yeah I should have been using it more. Would have made things easier around the mid to late game.
i don think you hv kick without OS tuning
@@WyrmHeroBlade They unlocked it later on than they probably should have-- they could still use OS turning in this challenge, but only based on the new-game arena progression.

I love your challenge run videos! I hope you take a much deserved break after this or at least do one of your just for fun runs.
Thanks! I might cool off by playing an easier run. Thanks for the suggestion!
killing that stupid worm without the neddle... god bless you
With the Meele thrust stat increase the og build becomes very strong. I do hope they add some of the PCA heavy paladin ACs, those look like an upgraded OG
Those ain't ACs
Those are HC normally meant to be superior to Ac's and to be fair normally they are...
It's just that 621 and Rusty are build different
Honestly, after dying 28 times to Ayre, that kick for the winning fight was *totally* justified and personal.
i was planning on doing it, but damn you beat me to it xD, great content btw :D
Thanks!
Awesome.
I was wondering if it was possible and, man... you delivering it!
XD
thank you for this video, i am currently trying it myself and was stuck at the ice worm fight as i thought bullets and missiles couldn't reduce the shield enough but this video has given me new strength to cary on. thank you
I did a fully kinetic weapon play through of armor core 6. I won't remember if, I did all the endings it's been so long since. I properly played it.

And can also insta stagger phase 1... again as long as you time it well

Laser volley can be dodged by simply moving right or left but sometimes he will cancel it into a big beam that you need to be ready to side dash

+1 sub from me
The pain in your voice when saying you didn't enjoy Allmind 😂.
You're beyond correct. It was an absolute pain against Allmind. It's been years since I've raged like that.
You curse just like us but you are a saint with the patience and a battle saint for the wins!
I thought I was the only one to try this challenge. The first chapter is a cake walk, but the later missions got really difficult

I only have absolute respect for that last Allmind fight. Doing it a second time is nuts.
In all my wisdom and all my rymes, you dies 221 times.
I finished game on the OG build too (with another missile pod) and I can assess that the old Sea Spider was an absolute nightmare.
Lol at the Monster Hunter music during the ice worm fight
the ice worm fight was beautiful, very impressive 👏

You know the mission I was most concerned if you would be able to beat is the defend the strider mission, no boss just an unrelenting amount of really spongy enemies I swear that one kept me longer than some bosses did, I just figured the starter AC wouldn't have the ammo to do it. Kinda sad you didn't do the extra missions but I can understand that'd be a looooooot of time to play slight variations of missions. I am sad though that you didn't take on the Balteus rematch, but if you can outgun Allmind I'm pretty sure you could beat the sweeper balteus rematch combo.
This one is unedited, but here's Defend the Mining ship with the starter AC! I'm making a highly edited NG++ playthrough of armored core 6 with the starter AC only and have a few other starter AC fights uploaded on my channel: th-cam.com/video/nzIOjD0mgC0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=EALpePKQZtJak9oK
Also! Here's arquebus balteus: th-cam.com/video/WgFxOv8zjVw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=NHX28eEdhVGqkJFe
Probably one of the biggest pains in the ass in the game. His damage output and huge shield are suuuuuper frustrating at times.
@WhitetailMusic Yeah I should have taken the kick early early on, as for the extra missions I tend to ignore them because I try to simulated a fresh new safe file when I do my challenge runs in this game because I don't want to lose all my progress. I'm very sure those ng++ missions are possible but as you said it would take quite a bit of extra time to complete.
@IntrusiveThot420 Impressive! I probably would have been pulling my hair out in this fight as well.
Must've been maddening since Allmind is tough even with a fully loaded AC, especially his final phase.
There is a spot when descending in deep exploration 1 where you can move toward the wall and fall straight to the bottom without getting hit by the laser. Found it on accident, scaffolding looking one.
Thanks for the tip!
@@Worn-outGamer4you're welcome ❤
Tip for CEL-240: dont waste ammo when its neutral in 1st phase. It will dodge everything and spawn more lasers for you to dodge. Instead wait until it locks itself into an attack animation like the very telegraphed one it does at the very start of the fight, as it wont actively attempt to dodge, and you can reliably get to point blank range while it recovers from its landing
honestly feels like the only direct weakness of basic loader 4 is the internal parts being very weak. assault rifles are decent enough after 1.3, and the pulse blade is the mvp.
I think the only thing I changed was the booster
I know there's no difference, but in the Cel 240 fight it feels like every time you went down the "621!" from Walter was getting more intense for a bit. Great win, makes me wanna improve as a player!
Wait, you actually CAN deal with the Worm with no Needle? Cool!
... holy shit, Iceworm mission without using the needle launcher, and just stock Loader 4...
Dominant.
Heck yeah, awesome run.
Thank you!
Holy shit! I can't believe it. I've seen challenge boss fights using Loader 4 on Ibis & a couple others but not every single one. You forgot Strider, Cataphract & Snail/Balteus, unless they're in the video & I missed it. I wanted to call bullshit on the Allmind but I can't. I guess I can add Loader 4 to my AC's & play around with the colors & put decals on it. Maybe throw a different head just to say it's modified.
For me Ibis & Ayre are the toughest bosses. They're the only ones that took me over 6 tries & hours to beat. But once I beat Ayre I said I am never fighting her again & I meant it. The bad ending I cried to. The toughest part of her fight is the dialogue & she's fast. Same with Ibis, Walter doesn't shut up.
this proves that it's not about the build, it's the pilot
I've beaten the game with the starter AC... And watched your video about beating the game with the junk build and took that challenge on the in NG+... I'm currently about to fight Walter...
Awesome!
Alternate title:"I beat Armored Core 6 cinematically accurate"
Loader 4 leans heavily on the BUTT-A
I hit a wall at the PCA Warrant Officer and still refuse to unlock OST tuning. I've been so close and I really want to see how far I can get without Allmind's help
I'm doing the same run but hit the wall at raven boss fight I just don't have the dmg to do anything past his 3 health bars
@@wokka6554 I took the Cataphract route and now I'm also stuck at the raven fight lol
Is no one gonna talk about how cool that looked when he was slashing
Do another armored core 6 challenge like my idea is beat the game with only the “invisible rummy” build for the entire game
I'm doing a Starter AC run currently as well. It's actually a ton of fun.
The challenge run I’d like to see is all s ranks, while getting every combat log. And no op weapons while you do that. So no songbird, stun needle or Zimmerman.
About Balteus and other bosses:
For some reason, I love starting new game. When I was told that bosses were nerfed, I just downloaded pirated copy that have pre-nerf version. Kinda sad that they just did it without giving people any choice :/
the nerf didn't affect a whole lot, you're also missing out on the balancing of the weaker weapons, you also could of just used steam database to downgrade the game instead of pirating.
There’s a mod on Nexus called “Un-nerf bosses” not sure if it actually reverts them or just attempts to mimic how they used to be, but seemed interesting.
awesome video fam! you should do this either with rusty or the originals ravens ac
Bro i felt that…”I didn’t even record it 😭”
The ice worm fight is extremely impressive!
For another chllange... I saw a different video on "beating AC6 without moving" where Laser Lance+laser slicer was their only movement option. (the mad sonova actually did it) I cant find it anymore, and would love to see you repeat it so I have a video to point to.
When you think about it… Canonically, 621 would’ve blazed through the entire campaign for all three endings using the loader 4. I’m really curious how they managed to go through everything using a build that is kinda weak gameplay wise
your rage and tongue clicks during ALLMIND fight satisfied me
TSK!
Hardly through the video, but I have to give props on the Heavy Lobster theme during the start. Heavy Lobster mod, anyone?
You absolute madlad!
This is my plan for NG+ after I finish the game. To try to beat the game with the OG Canon build. Should be hard but fun
Challenge aside, I found melee weapon from this build very useful and used for a long time during 1st playthrought. But will never try build as whole, as I want to relax with 2 Zimmermans in PvE and don't stress. :P
Idea - Only shoulder without fists or only arms weapons challenge (2 Linear Rifles perhaps?)
You should try to play with dual lazer pistols with a build somewhere in between medium to light AC.
I usualy equip a songbird and something else depending on the mission
Can toy beat armored core using the AC 1 starter loadout?
IquanaMind... its pet C-Spiders... the damn arena occasionally allowing you to be pushed out of bounds and stuck in place to be beat down like we all like doing to Iguana... All of those made that fight lead to me breaking my Cardinal Rule... No Tank Warfare Simulator.... 2 minutes and 0 deaths later using the 2x JVLN Alpha, 2x Stun Needles, Wrecker, Ve-40A, Tian-Lao Arms and Bornemissza tank treads with the p10SLT and VP-20S with Assault Armor I beat him... he hard countered my lightweight build and my generalist builds though...
That's actually the good ending
Btw, you don't need to do this, but: how about a melee only run, Escape level included? (can empty guns to throw for fists).
Yes, Allmind phase 3 could be the most difficult stuff you could do with melee, but perhaps it could be interesting.
Sawblades grinders though..figuring them out is going to be messy.
Did you get any unique dialogues from this run?
I believe that I did not unfortunately unless I wasn't paying attention.
What’s that song playing during the cel 240 part?
Old Ferrum Town - Pokkén Tournament
@@Worn-outGamer4 thanks
You should do handgun only run since their amo have been increased. You can use four hangun one each hand and two on weapon bay
now THIS is canon AC6
I have no idea why the starter ac doesnt have the shield you can buy at the start of the game. If it had it, it would fill all 4 slots, and be able to teach the player about guns, melee weapons, missiles, AND shields, all the weapon types in the game.
Didnt realize i have fought V.I lol cause i was wondering
This run should be easier seeing as they buffed the parts
Wow, I mean WOW. GG !
I just finished this game once and i didnt know ayre had so many dialogues in the fight with walter. i really liked the pile bunker and got good with it so the ending was pretty anti-climactic
I watched it while doing something else, but did I miss something with CEL 240? Suddenly he won 😂😂
But can you beat all 3 play throughs with all 3 endings
Have you done a Jail Break Mech build run of the game? (Edit: never mind you already have)
