The famous black Market arms dealer and their history. Once a group of dozers who would expected them to become one of rubicons arms dealer and helper the overseers.
Since RaD was just a side job, I like the idea of Carla using RaD's funds to create the dumbest weapons & parts, all while getting a kick out naming them & watching her Dozers use them to blow stuff up.
I wonder if the previous owner of the company called it RaD for short while he was high on Coral. "bruh, what should I name my business?" "I dunno man, something rad and wicked." "rad?" "yeah man, its gotta be-" "Na bruh, I mean RAD." "Bruhhh, thats rad." "Bruhh..."
@@insertedgynamehere according to the logs and overall source information. no such was mentioned. we can assume that tho if you'd like, but it would contradict the original information, Perhaps the name RaD was renamed personally by Carla, and stamped that over the already established Gang group she took over and turned it into an arms dealing business for the black market, up from a a bunch of coral addicted gang members. its entirely possible that Carla made changes to the group itself, as a way to present her group as more of an economic contribution than being a hostile bunch of pirates.
@@muramasa870In my opinion, It's a stolen PCA satellite cannon. Since Carla once mention "Snatching an infrastructure from orbit" In game as well as the fact that in third playthrough, bunch of C weapons rolling out and destroy it... Since PCA got hold of some C weapons, you know.
I have a personal theory that Carla wasn’t there for the fires of ibis. Ayre says “cinder” means she was around for the fires or is a doser joke. I think it’s a doser joke especially since all the other names are lies too, chatty/honest/invincible.
I like that you building your AC's from the parts of the companies you talk about, that where I took to play mostly as 621's standart modified AC for my little project.
oh yeah, speaking of debt collector, somehow he shared the same frame and weapon setup with a merc we found during Illegal Entry called Monkey Gordo, I wonder if that guy and Monkey Gordo were debt Collectors.
They must be reusing assets or something like that because you can get a data log from an AC wreck in the mission attack the watchpoint but the model for that wreck is the same model as G7 Hakra from illegal entry
@@Grantbird1964 it would not surpise me, I mean the time frame som e of these game devs work too is tight and I don't think the pay is there to make a new one for a side bit.
They might have also gone "Well, she was a horrible traitor and manipulator, but she had a good point about making and selling ACs, MTs and weapons." and continue to do black market business. They would lure in experts who didn't want to work for the corporations for leadership so as to make as much money as they could. Then they would be able to get all the coral they could ever want with that money.
Kinda being the word here as the closest we get is the Weevil units that share the same weapon idea of kinetic and missiles weapons to overpower a foe.
Learning some lore now it’s astonishing that Walter sent his “ wolves “ in with base model parts no wonder they got absolutely rekt. 617 being the only competent unit to make any sort of head way at all. Think of the potential they could of had using Carla’s set for example.
Oh I think our master of hounds knew what he was doing, the three wolves really where sent as a pack to deal with the threat because I think he knew as a ac pilot himself they lacked skills. Walter knew what foes he was against and was willing to pay the price of blood to win this step in his plan. 617 is perhaps one of ac history everyday heroes but sadly not speical. The basic parts maybe have been his way of keeping out of needing corporations after all he did not trust them and Carla was as close as you could say he trusted. But nothing would have been for free either and I am sure even Carla would have needed credits for the acs Walter brought.
@@armoredcorelore Going as deep as I have into these lore theories and other RUclipsrs renditions to me Walter makes more mistakes than he does good strategy. He is involved in overseer which does mostly observation and intervention yet he doesn’t see Sulla coming for us or even bother to warn of the loose end or give us any valuable information about the Cataphract we see later the very one who tore through the “ hounds “. Plus his boss fight was very disappointing I don’t claim to be a pro I’m an average player and AC6 is my first game of the franchise and I beat Walter first try with no gimmick OP build. Ultimately I think Walter is a glorified Dozer addicted to Coral just like the rest of them the idea of power blows their minds and according to Walters helmet appearance he’s definitely tweaking out.
@@landonw8982 These are all fair observations after all walter is only human but i think he's just very unlucky. He knew about all mind as we hear from all mind themselves how 621 handler seem to be onto them and they even admit he is quite the pilot. In truth the man had a lot on his plate, as you say he was carrying the overseers will on his shoulders which really Carla only steps up after his death. And well for sulla i think the issue there is ALL Mind has this great way of knowing everything and dealing with everything but never letting us see how. I personally don't find all mind as interesting as say the nine-ball ai as we saw how this ai used the corporations, the ravens and even nine-ball ac to play them against other as it took in information, learned from it and work on that to balance the world. Here we have an ai that yes was active and collected the data with its time on Rubicon but it seems to know so much and its never exampled. It just an amazing ai that can hack, program 12 ac's to fight, pilot an ac on its own and even absorb the souls of people or link them into a super machine. But back with walter Do i think he was a dozer? No i think he was quite a clever man who did not want to get attached to anyone. He knew how to play people to get what he wanted, how the corporations worked but not this super mastermind of war. As for his fight i know what i mean as i am not a very good pilot but even i beat him. But i think we could look at that as after being re educated i think we lost the real walter and got an augmented being fighting with the will of old self with the new.
While forgotten by history, probably my preferred go to for AC’s whenever I need to pump out my RC-2000 in a casual playthrough. Still, I wouldn’t mind running the company after all three endings. 🤔
Oh yes, my favorite company in the game which later to be a part of a secret organization called overseer plus they produce my favorite frame C2000 frame, but with the shadeeye head
@@ALLMINDmercenarysupportsystem oh I see because I went to the wiki that says about the shade it says this: Custom part derived from the scout AC head developed by RaD. Comprehensively rebuilt by an anonymous independent mercenary group, this model takes some steps forward but sacrifices the minimalism of its predecessor.
I think the issue with this head is in game it is marked as a RAD part. However with the use of the words in its description, it makes it sounds like branch took the design of the C2000 head and basically altered it for thier purpose. I guess its really up to personal view on if branch took a already made scout head and modified it or did they only use the design, changed it a bit and then create this shadeeye head.
Finally managed to make the acquaintance after slamming my head against Balteus for days...only to run into the next roadblock with the Cleaner xD I did get him though, after the second or third attempt, and then brute forced my way past the satellites because I couldnt figure out a reliable pattern to dodge them.
You don't necessarily need to dodge the lasers. There is an indoor route that bypasses a large chunk of them but in exchange you have to fight a couple institute drones, and then a bridge you can fly under that even has little foot rails that you can land on to recover EN. After those two, you end up only ever needing to be in laser area for like 3 seconds
Well i can answer that one i missed it, but while chatting about it with others on this video we took a look at its in game description. Custom part derived from the scout AC head developed by RaD. Comprehensively rebuilt by an anonymous independent mercenary group. To me this suggests RAD did not make this part, Branch basically looked at the old scout head and then built thier own version of it.
New parts incoming in the next patch, the hype is real! Another tetrapod no less, alongside questionable core and other parts to fill out the set. But the new weapons are something I've been craving on release, just that much closer to becoming the Cataphract!
I'm not sure if you picked this up on your 3rd playthrough when facing Honest Brute but I believe the reason he betrayed Cinder Carla is mainly he knew who she was and he sees the coral himself...at least that's what I believe when I heard that third layer of dialog during that fight. I hope this helps your research. ^-^

Im waiting for a branch vid. We never see the 4th pilot/ac and in king or chartreuse arena description it states there are always 4 mercenaries at any given time.
Its labelled as R.A.D Part but from reading its bio the part itself seems to have been made by branch all it used was the base design of the scout head but was changed heavily.

Chatty's death was sad. But i admit rummy and brute have slowly become my favourite male characters of the game. With rummy simple lines that even now as i type all i want to say is MAD STOMP! And Brute because he reminds me of my time in the acting for television and film course i did.

Its a fair theory.
Counterpoint: the other RaD callsigns being lies would be the perfect cover for an actual Cinder who wants to hide in plain sight.

RaD is very entertaining to watch despite most of their part being not the best but they were the most funny.
Certainly an interesting cast.
I would also like to add that RaD MT also kinda mirror Institute MTs
Kinda being the word here as the closest we get is the Weevil units that share the same weapon idea of kinetic and missiles weapons to overpower a foe.
