The real hard part was when you need to get the combat log from that hidden AC. That fight always costs me at least 1 repair kit, then I still had to finish the mission.
one day Zanny will realize that weapons have an ideal range and effective range stats that he needs to consider if he uses shotguns at mid to long distances lol

@@Kingofdragons117there’s an optional mini boss in this mission that you have to fight if you want to get 100% completion in the game.

All with no checkpoints
@@nickthenuker7916 not just a proper AC, but a proper AC rocking Dual Songbirds and wheelchair no less, Ring Freddie got that partially meta build going.
“You can’t use lightweight build against this guy” - zenny me who mostly used a lightweight build for the whole game: well I guess my life was a lie then

The funny thing is there's another optional boss in this mission along with the HC. If you turn around at the start and fly back for a bit, you'll encounter an AC* that gives you a data log if you destroy it. Oh, and there's no checkpoint for beating him either. The mission wasn't incredibly difficult for me, AC included, but the no checkpoint or resupply thing is a bit unfair. *(Ring Freddie. Wheelchair legs, X2 Songbirds, X2 Hand Missile Launchers, Pulse Armor, if anyone wanted info)
I remember now, the only reason I had trouble with this mission was going back for the battle log, the other guys fine, I just shove him in a corner with Lance and bunny drop kick and then spam plasma rockets on cooldown, it’s just that other just adds to strain of getting all collectibles and finishing no checkpoints.
"Balteus" this "Sea Spider" that Nah my brother in christ, AA22 Warrant Officer is the REAL wall (thank Miyazaki you can actually just skip this mission fr)

Zanny heres a pro tip: After you kill the adds in the beginning, the two acs that appear are scripted to literally charge you, so stand still, let them come to you, assault core kills them, then boom you move on with full health and 0 struggle. Works every time. Ya welcome ma boy.
There should be a checkpoint for if you kill the optional AC boss. That thing is the only reason I kept dying since it eats repair kits at close range and tries to box you in at the start.

I gotta say, once I realized I had just hit the mission that made Zanny snap, I freaked out and built an extra tanky version of my usual build to prepare, then got smoked anyways. Second try, I just went back to my usual lightweight build and beat it in one go. Join the lightspeed army, folks.
The issue was how you played and what you chose to use for the job. Not saying you needed a broken or dog doo doo set up but man the things you were losing to like energy problems and weaponry were well within your control.
I suggest going about building your AC in this way 1. Legs (basically your class and carry the total weight of the AC) 2. Generator (Which is all about energy) + Core (which is all about energy amplification) 4. Weaponry + Arms(Accuracy, melee dmg, and weight load limit for weapons) 5. FCS (Determines how good your aim is in close, mid, or far range is and or how fast missiles lock on or split) 6. Booster (How fast or far you want to do things like moving, dodging, flying etc.) 7. Head (Scan distance + duration and how resistant you are to status effects) Also stability is your stagger bar while recovery is how fast you lose stagger when hit. Hope it helps
@@blasphemy_3455 Interesting, I do this for building in order 1. Generator = this will dictate the entirety of the build and optimize the second part 2. Weapons = to be optimized by your generator and your playstyle 3. Core = provides majority of AP, overall weight and EN load and the part that will bring the generator to its full potential/limits 4. Legs = carries the overall weight 5. Arms = choose recoil control or faster and accurate aiming as well as carry your weapons 6. FCS = amplify weapons 7. Booster = speed and amplify your playstyle maneuvers (dodge, AB or jump overhead) 8. Head
@@primecoconut4204 interesting I do this for build order: 1. legs = playstyle I'll be using 2. weapons = what I think I'll need for the mission 3. arms = pick which one is best for my weapons, either recoil control or weapon control or melee control 4. FCS = for the weapon loadout I'll be using 5. Booster = fits best for both the mech's weight and playstyle I want 6. head = what type of head I want to rock, for either scan range, speed or armor 7. generator + core = what will fit my weight and energy needs
This is the part where I'm glad I learned the way of Assault Armor to enemy bosses that want to fuck around and find out with me at melee range. It honestly makes this battle a lot easier, especially since it's in a pretty confined map
It's also important for AC fights, since you can use core extensions while stunned to recover from it. (and potentially counter stun if they try to go melee.)
@@reaper6830if ur having that much trouble, go dual vvc-760pr's, dual vp-60lcs, and the bulkiest frame you have access too, which should be the bornemissza one, go whatever generators and fcs you like and that work. It's a bullshit build, but it works
Somebody's ported AC6 models into Elden Ring since they use the same engine, and FromSoft actually modeled them at their irl height, so we know that the tutorial AC is roughly 8 Tarnished high. The Ice Worm is about 1.3km, stretching from the start of the game all the way to Stormveil Castle.
those laser shotguns are actually pretty good, you can abuse the charge shot like crazy by the time you shoot your second charge shot the first is fully charged again.

Honestly? All Armored Core main games always goes to; 1. Save money by going energy early on. 2. Get good with two builds that counter each other. 3. When facing "impossible" mission, take a deep breath and change loadouts. The trifecta Armored Core laws, at least for me. You can play as nasty and exploitative as you want, since you're mercenary, and the number one rule is always to prioritize yourself above all else, no matter the method.
The big tip that helped me with the entire game was realizing hard-lock works when you *don't move your right stick at all*. If you try to shift your lock while hard lock is enabled it can break the lock, if you don't move your camera at all you will stay 100% locked onto your target at all times no matter what.
Yeah I realized this on MnK in my NG+ playthrough. If you're wondering how this would work as you explained, and to be used on MnK. While holding the mouse, turn to the heel of your hand(basically 90° on your pinky)to make the mouse sensor have no contact on a surface. There's legitimately a video on this as well
@@soksocks Sounds like the infamous Armored Core reverse grip for the old games. Take your controller and flip it upside down so the triggers are facing up and the buttons are facing away from you. Use your thumbs on the triggers and your pointer and middle fingers to hit the face buttons/joysticks.
@@Khotetsu luckily, it's a lot less complicated with MnK, specifically just your mouse. Since it's really only your mouse solely for hardlock, keybinds are whatever to each individual
Every single build in this video could've easily cleared the mission. Zanny's biggest enemy wasn't Fromsoft, it was his own tilt. This was extremely painful to watch unfold, I can't imagine him going back for Ring Freddie's log either - probably the first time I've seen Zanny snap at his own hardware, too.
I'm SO GLAD Zanny's having problems with this one, I thought i was the only one :'D Sure i got stuck to Balteus for a minute, but pretty much every other boss in the game I did on 1st of 2nd try, EXCEPT FOR THIS ONE... I was stuck for HOURS on him for some reason and felt like I was driven closer to madness than any other videogame ever has before! Af friend fortunately recommended trying quad shotguns on him and that absolutely destroyed him, but man.. Hard #relatable for this one, thanks for sharing the suffering Zanny
Personally, I've found it really useful to switch to a generator that really focuses on overall capacity, and either a good EN recovery after full exhaustion, or a low recovery delay with good speed. I can't remember if the coral generator(s) are available at this point, but they certainly helped on repeat runs, what with how they recover much better after full depletion. :)
@@Galgamos you speak wisely man, changing the gen could have made a massive difference.. Always felt like it was so easy to run out of EN and then get bursted down as soon as he got closer with his shield bashes!
Such a nice game, but very rage inducing sometimes, then u get some new weapons and you melt everything in sight. Finished the game in just about 25 hours from release. I’m 34 years old
It's so funny how people have different experiences in fromsoft games. Like Zanny did so much better against the sea spider than me, yet I've never had a problem with warrant officer.
The pressure for people expecting a souls game made FromSoft put a lot of meme enemies in the game, or more specifically, a lot of meme enemies in one spot 😅
Zanny be like: how do you not put a checkpoint next to a boss like this? Older Gen AC with NO checkpoints AT ALL: Allow us to introduce ourselves This is why Dark Souls is easy. :)
Fun fact the weapon that zanny uses the "pile bunker" may have become a concept for the game from a manga and novel called "all you need is kill" made by the guy that made death note ☝🤓
Remember this is a game that encourages you to try multiple builds, there is a build that will stomp every boss in this game, you just gotta either look it up or experiment with your build until you get it just right.
Big sad, one of the easiest missions in the campaign gave him this much trouble. Hopefully he tweaks his builds since those were what was causing the artificial difficulty spike lol
Zanny's enthusiasm at the beginning is like being a fresh faced peivate in WW1 eager to fight the enemy before realizing the horrors of war.
True
The *double salute* 😂
War. War never changes.
Wait till he learns there is an AC on this mission and there is still no check point

First time in memory I’ve seen Zanny break something in my entire time watching him, Fromsoft finally did it…
Yes. I was actually very surprised because he has never raged so much to break his controller. That was unexpected.
Bro had the "it only takes one bad day" moment 💀
And to think Zanny didn't even get the combat log for this mission, let's just say it doesn't make the mission easier.
It took me a few tries but if you have enough firepower/charge weapons. You can stun and nearly instantly kill it. If all else fails. Boost kick

2. Get good with two builds that counter each other.
3. When facing "impossible" mission, take a deep breath and change loadouts.
The trifecta Armored Core laws, at least for me. You can play as nasty and exploitative as you want, since you're mercenary, and the number one rule is always to prioritize yourself above all else, no matter the method.
Also as such a Slow Tank u should prolly never charge the pile Bunker since u need to line up perfectly for that attack
zanny truely has the unga bunga mindset if he's raging over this mission.
This boss hurt my soul, I had to do the other mission
Me too, I just couldn’t cope with that HC.
The big tip that helped me with the entire game was realizing hard-lock works when you *don't move your right stick at all*. If you try to shift your lock while hard lock is enabled it can break the lock, if you don't move your camera at all you will stay 100% locked onto your target at all times no matter what.
Bruh, seeing him break his own lock hurt to watch!
Yeah I realized this on MnK in my NG+ playthrough. If you're wondering how this would work as you explained, and to be used on MnK. While holding the mouse, turn to the heel of your hand(basically 90° on your pinky)to make the mouse sensor have no contact on a surface. There's legitimately a video on this as well
@@soksocks Sounds like the infamous Armored Core reverse grip for the old games. Take your controller and flip it upside down so the triggers are facing up and the buttons are facing away from you. Use your thumbs on the triggers and your pointer and middle fingers to hit the face buttons/joysticks.
@@Khotetsu luckily, it's a lot less complicated with MnK, specifically just your mouse. Since it's really only your mouse solely for hardlock, keybinds are whatever to each individual
Every single build in this video could've easily cleared the mission. Zanny's biggest enemy wasn't Fromsoft, it was his own tilt. This was extremely painful to watch unfold, I can't imagine him going back for Ring Freddie's log either - probably the first time I've seen Zanny snap at his own hardware, too.
I'm SO GLAD Zanny's having problems with this one, I thought i was the only one :'D Sure i got stuck to Balteus for a minute, but pretty much every other boss in the game I did on 1st of 2nd try, EXCEPT FOR THIS ONE... I was stuck for HOURS on him for some reason and felt like I was driven closer to madness than any other videogame ever has before! Af friend fortunately recommended trying quad shotguns on him and that absolutely destroyed him, but man.. Hard #relatable for this one, thanks for sharing the suffering Zanny
Personally, I've found it really useful to switch to a generator that really focuses on overall capacity, and either a good EN recovery after full exhaustion, or a low recovery delay with good speed.
I can't remember if the coral generator(s) are available at this point, but they certainly helped on repeat runs, what with how they recover much better after full depletion. :)
@@Galgamos you speak wisely man, changing the gen could have made a massive difference.. Always felt like it was so easy to run out of EN and then get bursted down as soon as he got closer with his shield bashes!
Just wait till Zanny has to go back to this mission for the battlelogs and he learns there's an entire AC fight at the very beginning.
Such a nice game, but very rage inducing sometimes, then u get some new weapons and you melt everything in sight. Finished the game in just about 25 hours from release. I’m 34 years old
yeah this is the old school kind of game with the modern touch
im soo happy because the feeling you get when playing this is as good as the ps1 ac game. never change fromsoft, never change
It's so funny how people have different experiences in fromsoft games. Like Zanny did so much better against the sea spider than me, yet I've never had a problem with warrant officer.
Ok, but did you beat Laurence?
PCA Warrant Officer: Your up against the wall AND I AM THE FUCKIN WALL
One must imagine zanny happy
Camus reference!
The pressure for people expecting a souls game made FromSoft put a lot of meme enemies in the game, or more specifically, a lot of meme enemies in one spot 😅
So-called "hardcore gamers" when no checkpoint:
I had so much troubke with the pca warrant officer the first time around. Really humbles you.
It’s always fun watching someone who is better than you at most games, struggle at something you’ve first tried every time lol
Zanny be like: how do you not put a checkpoint next to a boss like this?
Older Gen AC with NO checkpoints AT ALL: Allow us to introduce ourselves
This is why Dark Souls is easy. :)
The ads really broke him
Fun fact the weapon that zanny uses the "pile bunker" may have become a concept for the game from a manga and novel called "all you need is kill" made by the guy that made death note ☝🤓
Didn’t know what AC was before Zanny’s video! Since then I’ve bought it and it’s a blast.
Zanny when there's no checkpoint : You can't do this to me..
YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I SACRIFICED
😂😅
Zannys neighbors probably think he's is schizophrenic😂
As soon as I saw the thumbnail i was like "ah... he's found the mission"
BALAM is such an underdog, you had no idea how much i tested the boundaries of the game dynamic narrative just to see them come on top.
Not gonna lie, that Zanny rage was beautiful.
Hope he plays For Honor again.
It may sound bad, but Zanny in pain is magical.
I feel Zanny's pain. I, too, struggled with this mission. Why is there not a checkpoint between the gank mini bosses and the main boss?
I feel this man… this game has brought me this close to break my controller and the TV
Watching him try this again and again without using vertical missiles is so fucking funny to me
Me who beat the game through ng++ using only a lightweight reverse joint build: it's alright buddy,just remember it gets worse
All hail balam!! 🫡
It was so funny watching this knowing that this is an optional mission
Dude this was pure despair to watch, no checkpoints is brutal
Nah man breaking shit for getting mad at a game is wild, take care zanny, love your content
once a balam always a balam am i right 🫡
It broke my heart killing G6 red (the guy that speaks for balam)
wow spoiled it smh 🙂@@maxwelvanek5603
The man is back
Zanny would NOT have survived the previous Armored core games knowing we get to HEAL in this one
Day 66 of asking Zanny to do an uncharted series:
Cannot agree more
He’s gotta do a series. They’re so good!
The game is amazing he gotta
Ew
The start of the villain arc
it's a build issue lol
Now I wanna see Zanny play previous AC games, as they never had mid mission checkpoints outside of a handful of missions lmao
What was fun was trying to get all the combat logs for this mission. Fighting another AC then trying to clear the PCA was near maddening.
This gameplay hurts. It's so bad. Zanny doesn't learn anything from his losses
This gameplay have "game journalist" all over it. Call a build issue, call a skill issue... The true is: it's a everything issue.
Whenever you got stuck at some boss, dual gatling and dual songbirds with tank leg is the perfect build
glad to know i wasnt the only one having a hard time here
Imagine just charging a pile bunker into thin air and expect it to hit
Get the right build, bro.
Remember this is a game that encourages you to try multiple builds, there is a build that will stomp every boss in this game, you just gotta either look it up or experiment with your build until you get it just right.
this video was so great, there was a challenge, it was brutal, thx michaelzaki
i love your content man, keep it up
my guy this mission got me to stop playing AC6 for 3 days. actual hard mission with the loadout you given at this point
Big sad, one of the easiest missions in the campaign gave him this much trouble. Hopefully he tweaks his builds since those were what was causing the artificial difficulty spike lol
He didn't. He only used that heavy tetrapod and the light mech when he honestly should've gone for a medium mech build or reverse joint
I can’t believe that invitation to play fifa is not from satan
This one's sanity must have already crumbled.
