Top 5 OP PvE Builds in Armored Core 6

One thing is think the final build would be better with the fast tank legs. Not ever having to stop to fire is really really good, plus you are moving as fast as a light AC (around 370ish). Another thing I noticed for that build in particular (a couple builds it applies) is you ignore the recoil stat on the arms. For guns like the Zimmers and the Gats, the recoil is as important as the fire arm spec. You should be focusing on arms that are strong in both instead of only the Firearm.

My first playthrough ended with a dual minigun wheelchair unit with a songbird and horizontal missile launcher. After some issues in NG+ I swaped out the missile launcher for the stun needle and never went back. If I need to chill I always go back to that build. So I am not surprised to see something very similar as your top 1. Good video btw.

It’s all about the right tool for the job. There’s very few weapons I would consider not viable in this game, if you use them in the right circumstances.

When i found out the Stun Needle and Dual Minigun can pair well together really well after i did NG+, i used that for the entire game to help me complete the game easier before i fully complete the game (Armored Core 6 100% Achievement) with other builds, so its expected that i see that kind of weapons loadout in this video, maybe you should also make a video about good PVP Builds too? and btw nice video

Dual Ransetsu RFs on a mid to lightweight build of mind alpha core and legs with melander arms. Head and internals are whatever but vp-20c generator and alula boosters are what I use. This will get you a boost speed of about 350-ish with fast regen because of your energy overhead. Ransetsu RF is probably one of the best general purpose guns in the game currently they can 2-3 shot most MTs with decent range and have surprisingly high stagger and direct hit adjustment for bosses. Don't bother with the charge attack on them just use the semi-auto mode. Your shoulders are flexible and down to taste, a melee for additional stagger punish or a shield works. You can even fit dual needles if you want. The generalist option is the lightest plasma missiles or their vertical version for poking and maintaining pressure as the boss/enemy AC AI is generally inept at dodging them and the aoe is good for clearing packs of trash too. This is capable of clearing every mission comfortably, even the super bosses with minimal changes.

Cool video! Surprised not to see any weapon swap builds, though; the most dominant pve builds I've come up with use weapon swapping to keep dps up while weapons reload/cooldown. Dual melee builds are especially beefy for consistent damage output, though they may be trickier to use against some late game bosses.

If you don't wanna get up and close like most of these builds, you are able to cheese most bosses with a missile rat build using the new light tetrapod legs. You hover faster then most boss attacks can track, and with a good missile tracking FCS most of your missiles will get through to chip away at the boss. It's not crazy fast, but even on bosses like Hal and Ayre I'm able to finish them with 1-2 life packs left cuz they can't catch me.

Question, why use the HD-012 head for the #1 choice?

A whole lot of weapons in this game are overpowered with the right set up.

Just getting around to playing it on PS5 after finishing up Baldur's Gate 3. Thanks for the video - timely for me!

Why would you ever use nacht arms with high recoil weapons like the gats

The n1 is whaat i actually use ,i made this build to mostly cheese mini bosses

Why these codes not working?

I heard the needle launchers got nerfed ? I'm on my first playthrough and just beat the worm and I just now got the stun needle and I just started using it they fire and reload really slow

PvE? quad laser tank tracks for the win 👍

I wish there was a single build in this video that isn't just for close range

Love the aesthetics of your mech builds – white and black with a pop of color, that's my style as well 🤌

i cant seem to be effectively use piledriver at all :D - probably not fast enough

Build = Mech Design Loadout = weapon equips

Spring chiken good reverse legs
