  1. Tragedy [WIP]

    in AC Designs

    Posted

    Prochnyi generator works with everything, seriously. Unless you're running really drainy weapons and are forced to use Vital.

     

    Tempete is actually great for twitch movement at close/mid-range because of its very fast acceleration. If anything, the high power boosters and Shinatsu are better for longer ranges when you need to use HB to reposition fast for sniping. Could try UBT-25/H, it strikes a balance between the Tempete and high power boosters with good acceleration and good power.

     

    But no matter what booster/gen you use, you gotta work on abusing scan mode and walljumps to save energy.

     

    Switching to CE arms for the big stability boost (increased rate of fire) may help you out, unless you find your self doing more hit-and-run than just holding the triggers down.

     

    Also, I would try the Napa pulse gun over Mahaon. Slightly less power, but with a good boost in reload time and lower equip+firing EN drain.

  2. Fastest ways to make money + maxing weapon performance?

    in FAQs & Help

    So, almost the same things except:

     

    Mass Blade and dual 23/H are almost identical on Story Mission 09 (time and being able to equip 2 weapons to tune up). Guy in the nicovideo link took about 18-19 seconds (without counting load time). It just comes down to preference, I guess.

     

    Order Mission 06 would probably be better with a HW biped with high charge attack, since it would be a bit faster than the tank legs I suggested initially (b/c of lower weight + using a high power booster)

  3. Fastest ways to make money + maxing weapon performance?

    in FAQs & Help

    I don't see any topics about this stuff, and I'm too lazy to go through the entire discussion thread, so:

     

    So far for money (if you still need it even after playing through story + order missions), this seems to be the fastest method:

    Potential story spoilers if you watch the video, but it's just using a Mass Blade on story mission 09. Gives you about 1,000,000 Au and takes less than 30 seconds.

     

    Now, for maxing weapon performance, fastest method I've found (besides just buying parts that people sold in the shop) is to do:

    • Order Mission 06 (Marine Facility)
    • Equip the tank legs with the highest charge attack power, Sonne generator, everything else as lightweight as possible, and the 4 weapons you want to max out
    • Scan mode, glide boost towards the AC, stop right before you get to him, then tackle him (usually 1-2 hits to take him down)

    And this also takes less than 30 seconds, and gives you 100,000 Au. The performance bar goes up about 1 or 2 bars after each time. Stat increases can be pretty random on each weapon, so you may have to do this a lot of times to get what you want.

     

    welp, if anyone knows faster methods for these, please share.

  4. Team ACU [PS3] (NA)

    Still hanging in Wing 1 (#06), but every time I've gone on, no one else is really playing. Am I just on at the wrong times?

     

    Anyways if you see me on ACU Chat, I'm probably ready to play some free battles or whatever, just ask (usually on around 7pm and later PST on friday + weekends)

  5. Missile Swarm AC (just because I can)

    in AC Designs

    Posted · Edited by jvpoyo

    There's a missile turret called Phoenix that is "better," just weighs and drains more as usual. Also there is the Yasakani FCS that lets you lock on 6 max, might want to check that out (although I think it only lets you place 1 sentry gun).

     

    sadly everyone in NA servers seems to run a LW that can dodge them easily so missiles aren't that cool in this game. But like you said, it looks awesome when you launch a whole stream of them.

  8. Armored Core 5 Discussion

    in AC News & General Discussion

    I've run into a couple of bugs where my AC will get stuck in some sort of invisible trap on a few occasions. I'll just be bouncing around off of walls and shit and then get stuck in the flying/gliding animation on a floor. It's ruined a couple of really good runs of mine :/. I've also ran into another bug where the sound and game will stutter quiet abruptly for about half a second. It only seems to do it on the Urban maps though...weird. It only seems to happen when I first start playing too. And then just recently while doing Story Mission 5 (or 6...I can't remember but its the one where you gotta dodge the UW laser guy), the text from the operator's conversation got stuck on the screen and the audio stayed permanently lowered in volume.

     

    Anyone else had problems like these? They haven't really ruined my experience with the game but they do seem to occur on a consistent basis.

    I've gotten stuck like that once in an Order Mission as the mission started, hasn't happened again though. I remember the loading symbol kept on going in the bottom right when it happened. While watching streams (both JP and US) I've seen it happen to others as well.

     

    no idea what causes it though.
