IMPORTANT NOTE: You can save the build once the edit lock is bypassed so you don't have to go through this process every time! I've also been told this no longer workers on console. YMMV
Just a bit of warning for everyone that wants to do this: You lose the custom decals even though you get to keep the paint scheme. I found that out while I was trying to create my own Gundam Aerial Rebuild inspired by someone elses cosplay. I wanted to use Alba parts instead of the Melander parts he was using but unlocking made me lose the custom decals. I had to replace the red permet decals with blue permet 6 decals I found online. So if you want to change parts and weapons just remember you gotta manually do them yourself
this is a scientific breakthrough this also not only saves time choosing paint, but hopefully gives us access to new painting patterns? for example, iguazu, who has an unique red patch on his left shoulder
Learned this a while back from a reddit comment. I've posted the color codes for a few AC's in request posts since then. Including the instructions for loading and keeping the paint. Good for more people to know this.
*IF* you select a preset build, go to paint, remove the lock, get out without saving to revert it, *just like you explained* AND THEN GO BACK TO PAINT wouldnt the AC show painted with the character colors, meaning then you can save them as user presets and apply them onto other builds later?
This only works for the paint, the decals still get removed which sucks SPOILERS BELOW for a AC name if y'all ain't in that far to the story but it is also a question. Anyone know a share code for the decal for Steel Haze Ortus' logo on the left shoulder? Since I'm not sure I'd be able to make it myself.
Exactly why I'm asking, since it's more of a customized version of one of the unlockable decals which is weird, and I am, not good enough at picking shapes to get an exact match with my own customization for a decal.
@@absurd.gaming You do, but thats still not the full emblem thats on it's shoulder both when Rusty's using it and when you fight the ALLMIND arena version/use the preset unlocked from the arena version.

This method still works on PS4.
I tested it yesterday.
It still works on consoles but you lose the custom decals

it doesnt, it keeps the paint but removes anything unique that you couldn't normally get
Thanks for this i was so disappointed i wasnt being able to get nightfalls exact paintjob youre a lifesaver
You are a damn hero! Thank you for spending the time to make this.
RED GUNS SOUND OFF!!!
Oo-rah!
You're a life saver, I wanted to use Rusty's paint for the final mission and couldn't. Thank you!!!
Glad I could help!

For sure. bummer we gotta use a workaround in the first place
Oh, what a service to the community! Umbasa!
Thanks for this! Time to cosplay as Raven and fly on the true wings.
Thank you very much for this. There are a lot of shared builds that I love the design on and want to keep.
Me about to cosplay Aldnoah Zero Orange Cataphract
This method does not always work with decals, the paint will stay.
NEWS: This method still works on PS4.
I tested it yesterday. So thanks for letting us know.
Awesome 👌 great for all the cosplayers out there.
You can even go back in and look at all the paint settings!! I’m about to lose my day off to this
In the words of V IV,
Thanks buddy
ayo, this is big! thank you for providing this.
I dont't even have the game yet and you already manage to provide me with info I didn't knew, thank you very much.
Nice, thank you for this I always want to cosplay the other AC with different weapons.
I did ARX-7 Arbalest from Full Metal Panic
Not all heroes wear capes. Thank you.
that's the single most useful video I've seen about ACVI so far, thanks a lot homie
Very nice! I hope they don't patch this out.
Someone should share all the Arena builds after going through this process so people can use them even after Fromsoft fixes this
Why would fromsoft fix this? 😕
Unfortunately this doesn’t work for custom decals, you can keep the paint but the decals and emblems will still be lost
Ayo really, that's helps so much
Thank you for this!
I found this by complete accident, decided to make a Nightfall Update of sorts. Decided to darken the main paint anyways, but always fun.
I hope they never patch this
This works for downloaded Player Builds as well (as they too are locked)
good catch!
Very nice! Thanks
Thank you for this.
Appreciate your videos, mate. ❤
I appreciate your support!
sick find!
Too bad it doesn't work for decals. How the hell do the ones on Tenderfoot work?
Oh hell yes, thank you.
I love AC6 but damn this game is weird about paint jobs 😅
I don’t know why they put this lock on.
idk either. as far as i can tell, bypassing it doesnt break anything.
It was so hard trying to get Rusty’s paint theme
Bro thanks so much!
I wish there were some parts that look like Nexts in the game
Nexts look very cool
There are a few parts that look similar to gen 4, but no full builds that I noticed. I was trying to put some of them together myself.
I really dont understand why the paintjobs had to be locked when 4,FA, and VD allowed full customization of preset builds :/
Thanks for this,
I kinda wish you unlocked their paint scheme after defeating them, and it was put under some "TROPHY" page
*IF* you select a preset build, go to paint, remove the lock, get out without saving to revert it, *just like you explained* AND THEN GO BACK TO PAINT wouldnt the AC show painted with the character colors, meaning then you can save them as user presets and apply them onto other builds later?
possibly. I have not tried, but I don't see why it wouldn't work other than Fromsoft seemingly not wanting us to do this at all.
The fact we have to bypass this is really dumb. I don't understand why they have this system in place.
I totally agree. 💯
@absurd.gaming Thanks for the video, btw. Definitely going to be using it for my builds.
Can't you just load them from the default builds in the ac data?
This only works for the paint, the decals still get removed which sucks
SPOILERS BELOW for a AC name if y'all ain't in that far to the story but it is also a question.
Anyone know a share code for the decal for Steel Haze Ortus' logo on the left shoulder? Since I'm not sure I'd be able to make it myself.
Also looking for this as I noticed the presets we do have for Rusty dont seem to match up with the one on the Ortus.
Exactly why I'm asking, since it's more of a customized version of one of the unlockable decals which is weird, and I am, not good enough at picking shapes to get an exact match with my own customization for a decal.
you do unlock the allmind version of the Ortus emblem when you defeat it in the arena iirc
@@absurd.gaming You do, but thats still not the full emblem thats on it's shoulder both when Rusty's using it and when you fight the ALLMIND arena version/use the preset unlocked from the arena version.
is there a method to do this that also keeps decals?
I did it, but the decals didn't stick
So basically they could have just made it so you don't lose the paint and decals in the first place.
Hello can you do multiple video if show the différents paint job coordonate pls . I try to make the red gun style but it s hard .
It's shame it doesn't keep decals :( Still don't understand why they lock it like this.
Solution at 2:22
also gave the video a like
Thanks!
Did they patch this out in the recent update??
I heard they did on console, but I can't confirm.
@@absurd.gamingnever mind brother I just did it wrong, thanks for the guide lmao
PATCHED ON pc
Edit, Nevermind, still works. just not for decals
this doesn't actually work for paint jobs with custom decals
or any decals
if only it could keep the decals too
How did you get G13?
I can't remember. From one of the alt missions I think
@@absurd.gaming I’ve found out, it’s a preorder bonus
G13 Tenderfoot is pre purchase due to how painting works in this game its going to be hard to copy the decal on the AC in question and only that
everyone else cosplaying i just want rusty's blue and ravens brown color xd
The paint exploit does not work
are you on console or PC?
@@absurd.gaming
PS4
@joewas2225 OK thanks. it's still working for me on PC under the new reg
@@absurd.gaming
Well it's fine that it doesn't work for me. I made Nightfall so much better & all black with red on the device. All energy weapons.
This is now patched.
Still works for me
Hope they don't "fix" this, there's literally no legit reason to.
i dont know why but it doesnt keep the decals for me, they are always removed...is there a way to circumvent this?
