Hi Ermin. Off-topic, but just wanted to say your rF2 videos are great. Recently got into rF2 (moving from ACC) and your setup/ guide videos were really helpful. Thanks!
Don' t want stagger "nukes" to be the only go too strategy. Shinobi was a bit of a pain, but gave me hope for smaller frame builds and different strats.
I Beat Shinobi with a barrage of missles and a laser pistol. Build: L/R BACK & ARMS: •VP-66LH Laser handgun •HML-G2/P19 Mssle launcher •BML-G2/P16SPL-08 Split missle launcher •BML-G2/P05MLT-10 Missle launcher HEAD: NACHTREIHER/44E CORE: NACHTREIHER/40E ARMS: EL-TA-10 FIRMEZA LEGS: EL-TL-10 FIRMEZA or NACHTREIHER/42E BOOSTER: ALULA/21E FCS: GS/P05 GENERATOR: VP-20C This build got me through C &B ranks of the arena as well as most of chapters 2 & 3 with little to no problem. You just gotta stay on the move.
Theres absolutely nothing wrong with using build guides for AC6 i genuinely wouldn't have enjoyed this game if not for the variety of builds RUclipsrs have already put out enjoy the game how you want to and don't let anyone tell you how you should or shouldn't play it
I've tried numerous builds in this game now and besides just cheesing the whole game with tank + gatlin + songbirds easy mode, this is by far my favourite build for all content. Great one.
It’s sad that that’s the standard cheese build. I know it’s impossible to make a game without people exploiting certain aspects. devs nerfing things one by one feels like patch and pray because what, are they just going to nerf everything? Of course not. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t use the tank dual gats combo before I got my movement trained up early first playthrough.
I'm running two Zimmerman's and two Diffuse Laser Cannon VP-60LCD for a quad-shotgun build, smashed everything in the arena and works just as well for late game.
I am using shit ton of missiles and a blade, the right hand weapon is still in testing, gatling has been serving decently for MTs and I am now experimenting with laser malarchy. Good damage but no stagger... even fully charged. I am using the dual barrel one, but I have been staggered by the single barrel one I believe.
I've found success with using three pistols and the dagger. I use the small energy knife with the small pistol, then put on the long pistols on my back. This is on the bibods with the big jumps that rusty uses, the scoliosis frame, rusty's head, and the VP-46D Arquebus arms, along with the kikaku booster, ocellus fcs, and the san-tai generator
I kinda get your comment, but on the other hand, it serves no purpose, you do realize you can still do that, experiment with builds and play the game your way, nobody is forcing you to search for builds on RUclips
@@inksiety you missed the point. I'm getting at how it's very convenient today compared to older gens. With the older gens in mind, those older vets will have an edge with creating builds since they know what to look for on optimization for certain play styles. We are a stubborn breed.
@@bluemenace04yup, the new kids have the whole world's advice at their fingertips in seconds. We were essentially on our own. Maybe an issue of Nintendo Power to give us a hint or two. God help you if you didn't have the manual with the disc and the game in question didn't have an decent tutorial.
@@inksietyThanks to the magic of algorithms, once you've looked up a game, it's almost impossible to avoid such things. Click ONE VIDEO and youtube bombards you with it for weeks.
Stagger seems to be the strongest strategy in this game, i have essentially the same shoulder weapons but i carry the biggest rocket launcher in the right hand for the maximum stagger potential and the stake-driver as melee left hand to pretty much oneshot everything inmediately, tho the stake-driver definetly has some hit detection issues... the hitbox is quite vertical and will almost always miss if you are slightly over your target.
Nice vid! One alternative I found works better, is to use a closer range target assist chip, and use dual needles, fired point blank. It’s almost impossible to dodge when you fire the shotguns and needles at melee range.
clicked on a whim and am so thankful I am a curious person. will scrub this down in more detail when I get home. builds along with appropriate playstyle are rare and very much appreciated.
Laser pistol + lance + dual songbirds or dual Zimmerman’s + dual songbirds is what got me through the entire game. But I also have a large ass generator and use assault boost. Halfway through ch. 3 in NG+
Arena been super easy so far, I just run two song birds, build mech for close range and explosive damage. Songbirds will stagger and do big damage, then any decent arm weapons for when songbirds are reloading, mini guns are nice but I’ve mixed it up a lot and it’s always effective. I’ve found this build and tetrapod legs for hover are very strong and versatile. 😊
Most enemy ACs are speedbumps compared to the Trtrapod MTs, if only because of their ap pool. I just watched this to see another build lol. Honestly, pretty good!
Here I went full tank leg build with two DF-GA-08 gatling guns and two SONGBIRDS. This build literally helped me a lot. But only two places till now, Intercept the redguns and Reach the Coral Convergence.. I managed to finish G1 Michigan... but the other mission with the two phase boss .. I turned off the game to rest after I was surprised there is Phase two and couldn't finish it.. The arena was very easy with the tank build and finished the last S rank with it. I will try your build also. Thanks for sharing it!
The needleguns deal massive damage once you stagger the thing ang get direct hits in. It's probably the closest thing to a cheese strat for that two-phase boss.
@ShinHakumen Yep. I'm still trying his build for an hour. I managed to finish phase 1 with just a little damage taken. But phase 2 is a nightmare... I can't find a chance to use it on him without getting hit first or missing it.. like literally it hits its blades and moves same time. Hard to predict it. All I can do is just keep trying. I almost killed him in one of the attempts. Sometimes I manage to hit him while flying over his head. And sometimes has to be patient for a chance to his when he is trying to hit me
@ShinHakumen I just did, finally.... This boss and redguns mission burned me today TT.. need some long rest haha. For some reason, the one I faced was harder than the video TT. I finished phase 1 with no damage and then phase 2 tried to save my boost and went above him then used the weapons. Worked somehow..
@ShinHakumen I discovered that we can stun him when he first comes. In phase 1, when it starts he jumps in the air to shoot, You can hit him with the needleguns right away to to stun him. A very good start to take 30% of his HP at least.
NO WAY DUDE XD I had no idea you would hop on this magical game someday too, hopefully I catch you in the arena someday man. it will be amazing to see how well you fight
I am running very similar build. But with melee to deliver the last hit. Downside is melee may bot land if u r in a bad position whilr enemy gets staggered. But the satisfaction of 1 shot kill is just too sweet. Assault boost plus changed nail punch is too satisfying.
For real, I'm very disappointed we still haven't gotten an AC with proper full co-op campaign capability. Theres pretty much no excuse considering the number of missions with allied NPC ACs. Genuinely a huge missed opportunity on From Soft and BDNC's part. P
@Jaimyoutubing tbh, they already have the mechanics built and already have a form of multiplayer (nest) in the game. All they need to do is expand what they offer when it comes to multiplayer. They already have all the groundwork done already.
@capellozapellini6074 They could make an domination mode, captire the flag, a better 6 v 6, seasonal objectives, ect. I'm in love with the gameplay, I just wish they had more support for multiplayer.
Haha that's crazy I have this same build already. But the arms and FCS did help me out. FCS was the FC006 Abbot. It was top notch close range but yours works well too
I use the other shotguns, on a lighter AC and spec it for speed. Pulse buckle on left shoulder to help close in and 10-tube missiles to keep pressure ( been dipping my toe with the slow homing one too) I’ce been wrecking nest lol
I've been using the dual gatling and dual stun needle on a 4 leg. It's nice to try something new. this is a pretty good build to brute force things but requires some timing against ACs
Hahaha have you ever tried 4x missiles? There’s a few different handheld missiles, combined with the two biggest missile shoulder loads, like any of the 8-10 ones haha. It’s just fun to try, with quad/tet legs. Just a hovering missile silo death from above hahah!!! use a long range FCS too and a booster with good upward boost and just hover way the fuck up there
lol that last arena guy took me exactly 18 seconds as well on my first try. i used mind alpha legs, the same shotgun, 2 sets of songbirds, as well as the laser lance melee weapon to get right in his face with a charged attack before unloading. if you hit well the lance alone can stagger, but if not the shotgun usually does the rest. what's also really fun is using the lance in combination with the pile bunker for a double melee strike, but that's probably a less reliable method than point blank songbirds or stun needles.
I was having some trouble with arena, so I thought I'd try out with one shotgun. it trivialized the rest of them that I had unlocked. It still took some time to actually beat them, but that's probably a skill issue on my part. I'll have to give this build a go if I find myself struggling again!
yeah i used dual medium ranged shot guns and 2 rocket pods (the kind that split into a shit ton of smaller ones) on my back and never had to change for the whole game and im well into ng+ without issue
Nice Evangelion reference. I use Gundam references in my AC paint jobs. I used to build a lot of GUNPLA, this games customization really hits that pleasure center in my brain.
I like keeping Assault Armor handy in case I find myself needing to reload all of my weapons when I stagger my enemies. Served me well in the Arena and it has even dealt final blows to some of the enemies.
Any tips for 20/D Hawkins? I am running a build having just beaten the Attack the Refueling Base, so I am using most of the build but using Tian-Quaing and Laser Cannon alongside the Alula due to lack of needed parts... I can get him to halfway health then he somehow attacks while staggered and insta-breaks my Posture, then deletes my health... Edit: I just needed the stun needle, got him and 10 minutes jumped from Rank 20/D to be challenged to having beaten 08/B "Honest" Brute... in 39 seconds, only due to having missed my boost dash melee attack into my double shotgun> Stun Needle> Songbird+Shotgun... needed a second dose of Stun Needle for my old buddy Brute...
Im only missing the shotguns for this build because i havent tried them yet. The needle and grenade combo really hurts but its probably best to stun the enemies first.
I beat all 3 endings with the double zimmerman shottys with reverse joints, right shoulder being either the double donk grenade launcher or the big howitzer round one i cant remember the name of. my left should was always a melee weapon of some sort, use the right shoulder and double shottys for stagger, use melee, switch to shotguns again and it flowed extremely nicely to combo. the final boss of ending 3 gave me the most trouble with this build, and so did the IBIS series on my first encounter with it.
When I fought the campaign I came across the heavy tank AC where you can only deal damage at the front of it. This was the moment I build a double shotgun and double Songbird AC, using pulse armor I rush to its face and unload everything I have at it, done that 3-4 times in a row and the boss fight was over. Out of curiosity I took this build to arena, surprisingly this work very well. This build is also newcomer friendly, this is my first AC so I don’t know all of the mechanics, but this dual shotgun load out makes engagement easy for me. Go in, unload your shot, if you miss then back out, if you hit then keep up the pressure.
That boss also has a weakspot at the very top of it. U can shoot missiles, grenades, or just shoot it and get some safe dmg done that way. Allows for a more "airborne" style AC's that can avoid dmg simply because the boss can't really touch u in the air
You guys would get such a chuckle out of my arena build lmao. I run dual 8-pack or 10-pack rockets on my shoulders, and the 4-pack missile launcher in both hands. Rocket lock fsc on a quad-leg thicc mech. Dead simple
I’ve played most of the game with a similar build. Had more fun with duel handguns, laser sword and songbird on the back tho. Mostly get them to use up boost and build a little stagger then hit with aoe of songbird into sword. Bonus points if you can throw a kick to the face in there.
Which handguns? The laser handguns or the regular/kinetic ones? I just put the dual long/improved handguns on my build and I didn’t really like it tbh. Felt weak as shit to me, couldn’t build stagger without my shoulder weapons.
I use duel flamethrowers and duel stun needle with the wheelchair tank legs. Just zoom in, barrel stuff them with the stun needles while blasting flames, rince, repeat. kills ACs in 2-3 cycles of the needle reload
My go to is either light reverse joint with Dual laser pistols(ar range and damage with machine gun fire rate and can be buffed by generstor) and the dafeng generator with the highest capacity that weight a tone, paired as many missiles as possible. The other build is the same but with heavy reverse joints Snd twin stun nedle lounchers. Staying mobile with the stagger and fire power of a quad/tank is truly amazing. Then it s slils thrusters obviously and FCS is up to you
With double Zimmerman and two VP60-LCD(shoulder laser shotguns) this "Final" can be done in ten seconds(and even less then 10 if don't miss a single shot). With OS chips all in damage of course(kinetic and energy).
I made this build accidentally and it got me through the game almost no problem. The last boss took some finesse(the one that revives) but still got it done..absurd build
This is what i accidentally found out today lol, dual shotguns, not the first gen or laser gen but the 3rd kinetic shotgun you get which is an assault type is absolutely OP! lol. The stagger stats ontop if just phenominal.
The gatling guns / Songbird cannons are a shoe-in for MVP loadout for arena and boss fights. But my favorite arena and boss-killer build was just a light, reverse-jointed AC with dual laser pistols and sweet sixteen shotties for stagger damage. Totally devastating and easy to use. Step 1) stagger with laser pistols while jumping/strafing. Step 2) once staggered, dash in close and unload shotties. Will take most arena mechs down to 50% or less. Step 3) Assault Armor blast. You can even dash away before the enemy AC recovers from stagger.
I ran a pretty similar build. but I went full ultra light with missiles, I'd leverage my mobility to hit them PB with the shotties for an instant stagger and the missiles would catchup a moment later for follow up burst, carried me through the entire arena and story once I settled on the build, took it to pvp as well and it has served me well, though admittedly much like in any game, speed is life, stop dodging and you get staggered and die.... but that's the fun of it isnt it?
Bro, that thunder needle is even crazier than you realize. It has a direct hit multiplier of 225. If you hit them while staggered with both of them as your shoulder weapon you will do 80% of any mechs health. You can easily stagger or near stagger things with the laser lance. The laser lance also puts mechs into hit stun and you can almost always follow up with a launcher to instantly stagger any enemy in the game. When you combine all of these together you can one combo almost all arena mechs and it trivializes even the hardest bosses in this game. The last boss in chapter 4 you can do 60% of its health with this one combo. I also one shot the 2nd final boss in the game with this.
Try double minigun with double grenade cannon (the one on your left shoulder) just focus on getting that sweet dps of the miniguns on the staggered target i want to add is pretty cool we got a similar approach
You could use this complicated build that require skill, knowledge and a good chunk of mental stability to use effectively. Or alternatively you could just use 4 missile launcher and the missle chip for easy mode
The build that worked for me from start to finish was full tank ap build with chain guns and songbirds. AB into them while firing chain guns. On contact, fire grenades. Repeat. Easy peasy.
My build is similar but I use the Nebula and a Gatling, tactics are the same but I prefer having the ability to both AP race and stagger as wanted with the plasma rifle
I do wonder if this also works in the story for the fodder enemies and also the bosses there.. Also what OST upgrades are you focusing with this build?
I did a similar build but used an arm blade to swap. I'd blade boost up close get the stagger and swap for damage. With boost kicks I dealt so much DMG and stagger locked them to instant death. Dual shotguns made the lighter mechs stupid easy.
You should test it against the some A rank arenas cause I found some of the tankier ones to be more trouble than the s ranks. Ngl the s ranks were pretty underwhelming
Use the needle gun for stunning (VIENTO). Upside is it's light and projectiles have fairly high velocity - you just need to aim properly. Downside is it has mid ammo capabilities. You can't spam it as you'll quick find yourself out of ammo. Hit it right, and you will stagger your enemies fairly quickly.
I just tested it. It's a stunner :) Kille Rank 1 in 17 secs and stun locked Juggernaut in the climbing the wall mission. Build: VIENTO VIENTO V60SNA V60SNA VE44B FIRMEZA NACHTREIHER MIND BETA ALULA TALBOT VP200 AP: 9320 DEF: 1103 ATT. STAB: 1420 BOOST SPD: 329
This is essentially how I beat the game, the same two shotguns and the same reverse joints but with the larger single shot shoulder mounted grenade launcher and a sustained guard shield

Ya know what also absolutely crushes the arena? Dual Hu-Ben gatling guns and dual Songbird grenade cannons.
For real though, if finding it very difficult to justify not having at least 1 gatling gun at all times
Ah, the "More Dakka" approach. I see.
@@lavaeater5 tbh having 2 so far seems to just let me brute force almost every encounter with raw damage
and having a tank leg , just running around so ez man
yeah maximum firepower is just too reliable in this game
Absolutely love the Evangelion mech 🔥

@@RandoLePerson Not only that, but the colors are hella saturated. Looks goofy, but it was to be expected. EVA-01 is pretty much *the* shit.

Don' t want stagger "nukes" to be the only go too strategy. Shinobi was a bit of a pain, but gave me hope for smaller frame builds and different strats.

New to mech games/ armored core and I'm absolutely loving it
I like keeping Assault Armor handy in case I find myself needing to reload all of my weapons when I stagger my enemies. Served me well in the Arena and it has even dealt final blows to some of the enemies.
Sim Racing and Armores Core, this man has exquisite taste.
Any tips for 20/D Hawkins? I am running a build having just beaten the Attack the Refueling Base, so I am using most of the build but using Tian-Quaing and Laser Cannon alongside the Alula due to lack of needed parts... I can get him to halfway health then he somehow attacks while staggered and insta-breaks my Posture, then deletes my health...
Edit: I just needed the stun needle, got him and 10 minutes jumped from Rank 20/D to be challenged to having beaten 08/B "Honest" Brute... in 39 seconds, only due to having missed my boost dash melee attack into my double shotgun> Stun Needle> Songbird+Shotgun... needed a second dose of Stun Needle for my old buddy Brute...
Im only missing the shotguns for this build because i havent tried them yet. The needle and grenade combo really hurts but its probably best to stun the enemies first.
I beat all 3 endings with the double zimmerman shottys with reverse joints, right shoulder being either the double donk grenade launcher or the big howitzer round one i cant remember the name of. my left should was always a melee weapon of some sort, use the right shoulder and double shottys for stagger, use melee, switch to shotguns again and it flowed extremely nicely to combo. the final boss of ending 3 gave me the most trouble with this build, and so did the IBIS series on my first encounter with it.
I’ve been rocking duel mini guns and duel songbirds and haven’t had a signal issue in arena. Spend all your ost points on kinetic and explosives.
When I fought the campaign I came across the heavy tank AC where you can only deal damage at the front of it. This was the moment I build a double shotgun and double Songbird AC, using pulse armor I rush to its face and unload everything I have at it, done that 3-4 times in a row and the boss fight was over. Out of curiosity I took this build to arena, surprisingly this work very well. This build is also newcomer friendly, this is my first AC so I don’t know all of the mechanics, but this dual shotgun load out makes engagement easy for me. Go in, unload your shot, if you miss then back out, if you hit then keep up the pressure.
That boss also has a weakspot at the very top of it. U can shoot missiles, grenades, or just shoot it and get some safe dmg done that way. Allows for a more "airborne" style AC's that can avoid dmg simply because the boss can't really touch u in the air
What is the paint on ur AC? It looks amazing!
Lance, Gatling Gun, Double split missiles on both back slots
Constant pressure and shreds when you stagger
You guys would get such a chuckle out of my arena build lmao. I run dual 8-pack or 10-pack rockets on my shoulders, and the 4-pack missile launcher in both hands. Rocket lock fsc on a quad-leg thicc mech. Dead simple
I’ve played most of the game with a similar build. Had more fun with duel handguns, laser sword and songbird on the back tho. Mostly get them to use up boost and build a little stagger then hit with aoe of songbird into sword. Bonus points if you can throw a kick to the face in there.
Which handguns? The laser handguns or the regular/kinetic ones? I just put the dual long/improved handguns on my build and I didn’t really like it tbh. Felt weak as shit to me, couldn’t build stagger without my shoulder weapons.
I use duel flamethrowers and duel stun needle with the wheelchair tank legs. Just zoom in, barrel stuff them with the stun needles while blasting flames, rince, repeat. kills ACs in 2-3 cycles of the needle reload
I've been using this build as well unknowingly but pile bunker instead of songbirds
My go to is either light reverse joint with Dual laser pistols(ar range and damage with machine gun fire rate and can be buffed by generstor) and the dafeng generator with the highest capacity that weight a tone, paired as many missiles as possible.
The other build is the same but with heavy reverse joints Snd twin stun nedle lounchers. Staying mobile with the stagger and fire power of a quad/tank is truly amazing. Then it s slils thrusters obviously and FCS is up to you
With double Zimmerman and two VP60-LCD(shoulder laser shotguns) this "Final" can be done in ten seconds(and even less then 10 if don't miss a single shot). With OS chips all in damage of course(kinetic and energy).
I made this build accidentally and it got me through the game almost no problem. The last boss took some finesse(the one that revives) but still got it done..absurd build
I love the Stun Needle launcher, but I really do wish there was a proper sniper cannon back weapon.
This is what i accidentally found out today lol, dual shotguns, not the first gen or laser gen but the 3rd kinetic shotgun you get which is an assault type is absolutely OP! lol. The stagger stats ontop if just phenominal.
The gatling guns / Songbird cannons are a shoe-in for MVP loadout for arena and boss fights. But my favorite arena and boss-killer build was just a light, reverse-jointed AC with dual laser pistols and sweet sixteen shotties for stagger damage. Totally devastating and easy to use.
Step 1) stagger with laser pistols while jumping/strafing. Step 2) once staggered, dash in close and unload shotties. Will take most arena mechs down to 50% or less. Step 3) Assault Armor blast. You can even dash away before the enemy AC recovers from stagger.
I ran a pretty similar build. but I went full ultra light with missiles, I'd leverage my mobility to hit them PB with the shotties for an instant stagger and the missiles would catchup a moment later for follow up burst, carried me through the entire arena and story once I settled on the build, took it to pvp as well and it has served me well, though admittedly much like in any game, speed is life, stop dodging and you get staggered and die.... but that's the fun of it isnt it?
My strat has been to use dual songbirds firing at the same time to almost immediately stagger and then melt with dual miniguns
Great build, also works well with two chainguns.
As soon as I got the tutorial mission for duel wielding weapons I've been trying to devise the perfect duel shotgun build.
Dual*
My bad
Duo duo shotty
Bro, that thunder needle is even crazier than you realize. It has a direct hit multiplier of 225. If you hit them while staggered with both of them as your shoulder weapon you will do 80% of any mechs health. You can easily stagger or near stagger things with the laser lance. The laser lance also puts mechs into hit stun and you can almost always follow up with a launcher to instantly stagger any enemy in the game. When you combine all of these together you can one combo almost all arena mechs and it trivializes even the hardest bosses in this game. The last boss in chapter 4 you can do 60% of its health with this one combo. I also one shot the 2nd final boss in the game with this.
I have a build guide coming up on almost this exactly! Yes, it's amazing. They'll probably nerf the Stun Needle.
Stun needle❌
Thunder needle ✅
Loving the Barney build.
Try double minigun with double grenade cannon (the one on your left shoulder) just focus on getting that sweet dps of the miniguns on the staggered target
i want to add is pretty cool we got a similar approach
You could use this complicated build that require skill, knowledge and a good chunk of mental stability to use effectively.
Or alternatively you could just use 4 missile launcher and the missle chip for easy mode
i tried his build and kinda just mashed the buttons and still beat the last arena boss in under 30 to 40 seconds so i would not say takes skill
this is how I went through a shitton of missions. MISSILES EVERYWHERE.
The build that worked for me from start to finish was full tank ap build with chain guns and songbirds. AB into them while firing chain guns. On contact, fire grenades. Repeat.
Easy peasy.
"i just about had it with yo Evangelion lookin' ass, super go emerald time!"
*Laugh track ensues*
I like that the gimmick weapon is actually useful in AC6 unlike every other fromsoft game’s gimmick weapon.
I found the dual shotgun build early in my play through and now i am stuck with it ✌️
Same, tried the pistols 1st. Then shotties all the way.
Only had to change it up to bazookas for baltues, his 2nd phase shredded me up close.
Sorry to tell you. That's not the final
My build is similar but I use the Nebula and a Gatling, tactics are the same but I prefer having the ability to both AP race and stagger as wanted with the plasma rifle
Eva 01 has a bit of yellow too like the other evas, needs a splash of orange or yellow and some black.
I do wonder if this also works in the story for the fodder enemies and also the bosses there.. Also what OST upgrades are you focusing with this build?
whatever ones strengthen the weapons you are using, which in this case would be explosive and kinetic damage with shotties and songbirds
Can someone please list what parts individually resemble evangelion 01 ? So I can know where and how to obtain it ?
ive been running a tank with dual gatling and dual song birds. longest arena upto B class was 35 sec
I dont have access to the sting missles...should I use dual songbirds or one songbird and one laser cannon?
I did a similar build but used an arm blade to swap. I'd blade boost up close get the stagger and swap for damage. With boost kicks I dealt so much DMG and stagger locked them to instant death. Dual shotguns made the lighter mechs stupid easy.
Me with duel mini guns going through the entire arena
dual mini's absolutely shreds light to medium weights
Added with 2 laser cannons on the shoulders 🤌🏻👌🏻
@@itsmejordan_t1589grenade launcher is better
What a well put together video. On par with Vaatividya. Subscribed!
I've seen a few gameplay footages of AC6. Could it be that is plays even better than Zone of the Enders? Guess I know what's next on my wishlist.
Any medium builds i got a decent one but wanna know where i could possible upgrade.
You should test it against the some A rank arenas cause I found some of the tankier ones to be more trouble than the s ranks. Ngl the s ranks were pretty underwhelming
love the EVA unit 1 colors
Use the needle gun for stunning (VIENTO). Upside is it's light and projectiles have fairly high velocity - you just need to aim properly. Downside is it has mid ammo capabilities. You can't spam it as you'll quick find yourself out of ammo. Hit it right, and you will stagger your enemies fairly quickly.
I just tested it. It's a stunner :) Kille Rank 1 in 17 secs and stun locked Juggernaut in the climbing the wall mission. Build:

I used two laser rifles, diffused laser cannon with the stun needle and got 18 seconds as well
been running dual shotgun and needle cannon. stagger with 2 close range shots from shoty's then tear em a new one with dual fired needle cannons.
Shinji, get in the Armored Core.
"Shinji! Get on the fckin robot!"
This is essentially how I beat the game, the same two shotguns and the same reverse joints but with the larger single shot shoulder mounted grenade launcher and a sustained guard shield
