I'd never thought that I'd see the day where RUclipsrs would release Armored Core build tutorial videos. Most of the Armored Core videos I've seen on RUclips are gameplay videos.
Probably one of if not the best build guide I have ever seen. The flow and pace was straight to the point without going to fast in the explanations. Very well done sir! I can't wait to try all 3 honestly, especially the meefcake.
Meefcake got me through the final boss fight in Chapter 1. I died so many times before building Meefcake, and even then it took a few tries, but I finally got it.
Looking forward to this aswell. Unfortunately I’m alittle skeptical on how much they will be able to make it look like those units. Like if there are just cosmetic parts that can be added will most likely change my skepticism since I want to make units like wing gundam and shadow gundam. May not fight the exact same but I would like to play them in more than maximum ON.
@@unseeninja83customization is very deep there will be plenty of parts and paint options. Nothing with wings or eva looking bots though it’s very much chunky bots. For answer had more of the sleek jet designs
Alex, your Elden Ring “get op early guide” helped me get through the game when I had zero clue what to do, so now am back for the same guide of yours for AC6
I love the first build shown, it’s been a game changer and a massive help! I was completing the game fine on my own, but your build actually made the game more enjoyable
These builds work great. I built a mixture of meeftank w/quad legs for the armored plated boss and kept the energy missiles and was able to keep him staggered and just stay above him the whole time. Great video bro can't wait to see what else you come up with.
Beefcake gets my vote. I happened to make a similar loadout with all those weapons and it’s been going good through the entire game. I’ve maybe changed to new pieces and generator after chapter 3 and those weapons are still killing it! You can swap the hand weapons for those smaller laser pistols and they still wreck enemies since you can fire so many shots with them. I’m onto chapter 4 and all Arena missions completed. I’ll take some tips for the melee and aerial mechs as I’ve wanted a reason to use the energy sword more and have a flying mech. ;)
as a veteran I can confirm that this is a good video. you know what you are talking about. The first build was pretty much my loadout. in chapter 1 and 2
Finally got my meefcake made and I love it! I was muddling through each mission and now I'm f'ing dominating lol it's a fun, super easy build to use. Well done!
thx for these, this is my first armored core game and i am sooo glad i took the risk and bought it because i am having the most fun on a game ive had in a while.. only thing is all the numbers are a bit intimidating so this makes it a bit easier to try some stuff and see what stats to go for!! ty!!
You go for the stats you want to achieve the play style you want to..play. You can check each stat's purpose with the help command. Arm yourself with knowledge and bask in the glory of knowing what you're playing. Haha. Cheers.
Just for those who want the head, you had to have pre ordered the game for that part. You can throw on the 11 melander head though, and that works just as good
I love the Meefcake and will be putting it together as I just started the game, later will try the Golden God bombardier :) Thanks for the video I am a total newcomer to AC series so putting together builds is still quite complicated but I'm learning. The game is addicting!
I tried it out just now. And the beefcake is an absolute powerhouse. Great builds. I cannot wait to try out the other ones once I can get the parts. Thanks BoomstickAlex 😁
Great builds. The Meefcake is definitely the highlight of these, but the other two are so much fun also. I made all of these at the very beginning of chapter two, as the parts for the latter two builds are unlocked right away then. The only change I made is that I put on the Kasuar head instead of the Nachreiter one, which sadly tips it over the weight limit, but I replaced the VP missile launcher with a lighter one to balance this, as I found the higher Attitude Stability is needed on such a light build to not be staggered too easily.
Meefcake is a beast for sure. Almost trivialized some fights. The Melee mech was a ton of fun especially in the Arena. Satisfying to get the Piledriver crits off
@@WO_21 i think he replaced the right-hand missiles with a plasma rifle and the shoulder missiles with plasma missiles. Personally, I would keep the 10-missile option.
I've tried all of these builds and I adore all of them! I hope we'll see more builds for different parts of the game. The golden bomber is my favorite build so far!
I have updated a little bit the design of Meefcake in chapter 4. I have put the chicken legs (reverse joins) for faster dodging, toss the arms with highest firearm specialization and the FCS that give best performance in close and mid range attacks. For boss fights I put the threads just to get a little bit the extra AP.
Bro that first build is insane. It helped me one shot Juggernaut and I was missing the FCS and the Generator, had to swap something else in and it still wrecked house. Thanks man, I was nervous seeing him myself but that build put in some serious work.
I call it the "Double Downer". It really just depends on the weapons used. Use the stun baton and pile bunker for melee, and use the Songbird + any handgun for stagger and middle range combat. First, get the stagger with the Songbird and handgun of your choice, and then fully charge the stun baton. This gets you the second stagger. Finally finish off with the pile bunker for more damage. This build works best with boss enemies and arena fights. You can change out the handgun with the Vcc energy rifle for basic mob enemies in the missions for easier and quicker kills
I beat down all with the default frame. Just upgraded components and weapons. Same with the light frame. Love that the series is back. So many memories from PS1 to PS3. Now to make new ones.
My favorite anti-ac build is double laser pistols and double laser canons. Cleared all arena fights with it and, even though it feels like brute-forcing, it works really well. For bigger bosses trade in laser pistols for plasma cannons and it still works
Thank you very much, I built according to energy and got much stronger. I struggled with this game for 3 days because I didn't know how to build properly.
Ive always loved light frames with a good melee weapon. For awnsers pile driver was so much fun. I think i have to give the win to Meefcake though. I was having trouble A ranking the wallcimber mission. That build fixed my problem. I didnt realize energy weapons dont use my energy bar anymore
I was having trouble on the balteus boss, found this video, and made the beefcake build since i was only missing a few parts, blasted through balteus very easy and had a blast playing it, now i tried the Aerial god nuker and i absolutely love it! thanks for the video!
Curious as to what you were playing before the video, because the game requires some assembly logic. If you aren't successful by your own merits, what have you been doing? Genuine question.
@@Truth_Hurts_Bad I basically used the melander pre order bonus set and plasma gun with the default knife. I wasn't too far off from killing balteus on the last few tries but i got sick of it and switched it up with the video and got through most of the game now.
Thank you so much for the guide, as a beginner i really appreciate the help. Meefcake is my favorite and i really enjoy my time with it, helped me clear a lot of missions with ease !
definitely gonna try the Meefcake as soon as i can. Game is super tough starting out, once I start to understand the game more i'll experiement with my own builds. Edit: I dont hav all the parts available yet but i did buy the double plasma cannon and double plasma launchers, ,and its already made me OP, going back and doing the early missions for more money and i''m just demolishing everything . Only problem is im spending a lot on ammo.
I love the arms description XD "Use this head, they have high defensive value" "Use this core, they have strong generator output" "Use this legs, they are bipedal and very easy to control and high load limits for all your heavy parts" "Use this arms, those are..................... nice arms"
I'll try the meefcake on Balteus....so far none of the builds people have recommended have worked. Especially tanks, because I just suck at controlling them. Thanks.
For melee builds I often prefer a more dulled, and scratched up look, also shotguns of all types can synergize amazingly with said melee weapons and their cooldown period, giving a good close range option that isn't quite within melee range
I knew it was only a matter of time before people started uploading OVERPOWERED EARLY videos for this game. I'm sure I will come back to these once the game gives me my first roadblock.
The first one, and I was thinking the same thing as him, so I went ahead and looked it up, and apparently the only way to get it is by getting like half way into chapter 4. That is NOT a beginner head piece. @@MTB4RNR
Supper... Total new to Armored Core games. And run into a "Wall" in the mission "Operation Wallclimber" The first Build. I was able to get all the weapon on and running with some mix and match other item. Gave me the chance to progress. Hope we get more Plasma Build for midt/late game, As i like that play style. Thanks kindly.
You are right! The Tetrapod hover is super unflattering. I kind of wish it banked and turned when moving like Balteus does instead of just sliding around all flat like XD
After 11 hours from now I'm going to grind up some credits when I get enough hopefully I purchase all your builds mostly those three that you you're describing right now and put them in save slots oh yeah
The head for the Meefcake is only obtainable in chapter 4 😐 unless you got it as a preorder bonus. I used another head and the build still kicked ass. I was seriously worried about the difficulty of this game but with your amazing build I feel like this game is almost easy. I'm on chapter 3 and all the arena bosses died easily and the missions were a breeze 😁 Can't wait to test the other 2 builds! Thank you!!
Meefcake!! It's so good... totally ripped Balteus a new one. When i am having a hard time I hop into the Meefcake or a slight variation of it and Boom... mission complete. Terminal Armor has saved so many missions. (My slight variations are swapping out for duel laser canons OR later in chapter 2 dual Gatling guns + Songbirds; just remember to stagger then pound em with the duel laser cannons/songbirds)
Input these share codes in the AC data menu. Meefcake: *6K5KQH5EHA99*
Melee Assassin: *R24TV59LW4ET* Golden God: *FT5TVY8CXJW4*
Sounds good! 🙌
I am going to try golden god
can already use left hand weapon in the game?
how to unlock the napalm launcher my dude??
@@Am_Bush96TV If you could share the ID of the builds that'd be great
I really like the Meefcake.
Mostly on the grounds that Meefcake is extraordinarily enjoyable to say.
Like Milfcake 🤪
Agree, in fact I might switch between Meefcake and Golden god build since I might need some aerial advantage in later stages.
using it now. dam it’s strong
Didnt work for me prefer bazooka
Timestamps, straight to the point, no clickbait and no cringe intro? I loved this , had to sub!
I'd never thought that I'd see the day where RUclipsrs would release Armored Core build tutorial videos. Most of the Armored Core videos I've seen on RUclips are gameplay videos.
That's because most people playing AC understand that using a build guide is the fastest way to ruin the game for yourself.
@@ppppppqqqppp - I get that, but for the older games?
Are you joking? Game has been out for a day
There are going to be billions of build videos
@@TheSignOfZeta the older games aren't trendy

Very well done sir! I can't wait to try all 3 honestly, especially the meefcake.
A melee-centric build in a mostly-shooter game that actually works well? This 2nd build is impressive
A good testament to FromSoft accounting for every type of player.
The risk is high but the reward is also high
@@HelplessTenoSadly I cant make a lewd mech yet mods one day maybe hopefully maybe one day.
@@lights_utopia1130 HUH
@@lights_utopia1130yes lol
man all of these builds are really thought out and fun, I hope later on we can get an update for these 3 types of builds but in the endgame
It would be so cool if we could equip 2 melee weapons
i so confused i just started playing and im at the last boss on chapter 1 but have 0 armor , unlocked ? what am i doing wrong lol
@@jubaiphoenixYou actually can. You just gotta sacrifice a shoulder weapon slot. One melee weapon is equipped on the arm and another on the shoulder.
@@ShinHakumen no equip a melee weapon in both hands

Meefcake got me through the final boss fight in Chapter 1. I died so many times before building Meefcake, and even then it took a few tries, but I finally got it.
I cannot wait to see the crazy weird mechs folks build. From Evangelions to Metal Gears to Gurren Laganns to Megazords. Gonna be sick!

how can i get the meefcake head and generator i cant find them in the shop

The all-plasma “MeefCake” carried me all the way to chapter 3, mostly.
I was struggling with Balteus until I tried out the Meefcake. Incredibly helpful video, cheers dude!
I'm at Balteus, but haven't unlocked all the parts despite completing all the arena and training stuff.
Am I missing something?
Same I would like to know as well
After failing hours, I used the beef and defeated Balteus in 1 try! I even forgot to put the assault amour on

The Melee Assassin. Reason : always love manuverable rush attack with up close and personal
I beat the pca special forces suits in milliseconds with it. Use pulse blade double tap to stagger, and then use pile to finish off.
That gold color on the last core is pretty sweet! I'm going to have to download that one!
This is how you make a build video! Very well paced and detailed. Thank you!

Very honestly. The builds are good as long as your a good player to.
