“Stay clear of the gun? I’m trying to stay clear of fricking Death” Try as you might, you can not escape the Grip of Death. Also, I put the same back mounted grenade launcher on my quad-leg AC. I like it, it builds heats on your opponents while dealing some good damage. Made even better by tank/quad-leg with their ability to move around while in use. You can’t them while in the air though the game simply just doesn’t let you lock on or fire until you’re grounded.
I feel you on this one. Losing match after march in AC6 today so came here for good vibes. Glad to see even some of the best players i watch struggle as i have. Thanks for putting some fun in my day today!
That last fight was intense. The laser blade pulling its weight. More than you can say for those missiles. Cant wait to see what load out you come to next video
Man I love AC 6 but watching this reminds me we can’t adjust our hud. I miss that detail. Also our heads don’t change our computer voice anymore. Makes me sad
Here you go, hold this laser blade! Bink! Cleannnn...!!! This playthrough has motivated me to get off the couch and try to emulate this myself from the difficulty displayed alone! Another challenge awaits me! ^o^
Now the game is getting good! Yeah, Silent Line without OP-INTENSIFY is the second hardest game in the franchise. As seeing you struggle is entertaining, you've already struggled enough lol. My recommendation is use a small missile launcher with a fast and high count missile lock. As much as I wanted you to use the split missile, in Gen 3, they're just bad. Only good for bosses that are large and slow. The small missiles with high number of lock FCS should help you more, should you use them right. The dual missile you have at the end of the video is another good one to have when you have space for the missiles to converge. Try using a left arm weapon (as much as the sword is the true, proper way to go) if you're unwilling to have dual missile launchers. Also, don't forget about weapon arms lol. For sure I thought you were gonna use the machine gun arms last episode, but the Way of The Blade™ is just too irresistible lol. Since you're restricted to reverse legs, I don't recommend having crouching weapons as Silent Line is too fast for those to be worthwhile. Maybe in 3, but even that is a stretch. Cant wait to see the next video! Good luck out there, Raven
@@TheHolyKnight932 I went and tested out a bunch of weapons after I played and I've got a new setup I'm REALLY happy with. I like the dual missiles a lot too. I tried out some weapon arms and like the laser spread one so I may mess with that too. I'm excited to show you guys the new setup!
It's all a matter of skill, AC control, and some mission knowledge. I went through Silent Line 3 times. First, with OP-Intensify, second without, and the third without in cockpit view only on Hardmode. First time I super struggled with OP-Intensify as I didn't know what to expect at all from the missions. After the first playthrough, a new save was started, and even without OP-Intensify, it was much easier than the first round. I only did cockpit view hardmode run as I wanted to feel what it would truly be like to pilot an Armored Core. Despite your AC taking an absolute beating, they wouldn't be able to take as much damage as they do in the games. The cinematics across the games show a better picture of how they would be "in lore" if you will. As much as Thryfe struggled in Silent Line, he piloted his AC like a master with incredibly smooth overboosts, being able to vertically chase ACs and more. Truly shows how well he's mastered the old-gen controls, and definitely made his Silent Line not nearly as punishing as others (like myself at first) who struggled to control the AC their first time around. Doesn't help that Silent Line is faster paced than AC3 as well, so it's a real difficulty spike. Don't forget to experiment if you run into a wall! Best of luck with your run, Raven!
@@TheHolyKnight932 Yeah I feel like knowledge is one of, if not the most important things for the old games. It goes a long way. Oh and thanks for pointing out my piloting! I was wondering if anyone would notice it despite the fact I was getting wrecked 😂. I'm very proud that all the effort I put in as a kid to get good at these games is still burned into me, muscle memory and all lmao. I don't think I'm the best, but I AM and old school Raven 😄.
yeah, this games difficulty really ramps up in the second half. For the that stealth mission, just need to get to the area without being detected. Also, that missions with satellite laser trying to hit you, there are 1 or 2 resupply vehicles for you to use though it still deducts you for repair costs.
Radiators are weird prior to Nexus; they don't provide as much benefit as your frame parts do when it comes to cooling. Generally the meta is to run the cr10, the starting super light radiator, since it has low drain and weight. You should try out the 800 round machine gun if you haven't; its probably the best gun in the game. Further, I think you should have the moonlight available in the shop at this point, and I think you know how juicy that boy is. The second missile launcher in the back weapon slot, the six lock small missiles, is really good for missile spam, but I always favored the default missile launcher with extensions. The real gem is the triple missile launcher, though its so heavy its really hard to fit on most builds; pair it with the r/20 or the r/36 extensions and you'll vaporize most enemies. The 50 round right arm bazooka is a real work horse; its almost as good as the Karasawa in my opinion. Lastly, check out FCS with the horizontal lock type; they're well suited for ground based combat, and if you use machine guns and missiles they're big enough for if an enemy goes flying too. Good luck, keep these coming!
Thanks for all the insights! I always felt that radiators didn't work as well as they should. I swapped some stuff around after recording and tested a bunch of stuff out. I've got an overboosting machine now! 😂
I've seen it pop up more often the longer you play this as well as the recreation videos, but what arm weapons do you prefer using in these games? If at all?
@@davidboddie9130 For me it depends on what I want to do. In the games before this I focused on defenses mostly, since recoil control never really did much. Now I look for solid energy supply for my sword to hit harder. Weapon arms are very strong though and a lot of fun too. Their ammo is usually iffy for me personally.
This game looks hard as HELL man, the only off-putting thing for me is that it seems to lock you out of some hard missions if you fail, which just sounds really dumb imo, other than that, I'm all for the challenge here!
@@ColtonGamingTVI only tried free play on some games, but from memory it was never the case for the games I tried on (it was AC1, AC MoA, AC Nexus, AC LR and AC4A). So I'm not sure it's that common in old gens.

Q
Ay I've had those days myself man, plenty 😄. It makes me happy that I was able to brighten up your day with this gameplay 😁.
Yo, you got REAL good at those air blades!! Nice games, and seriously awesome gameplay, keep it up bro!!!
@@TheRoyalSkies I live for those 🤣. Thanks bro!
these old-school sound & visuals are so much fun.
why is this ? 😂

I was so hype with that last fight. Just barely made it 😄. Laser blade ftw.
An advice on using the Grenade Launcher is OBing after firing to get out of kneeling position as quickly as possible. Some people call it OB kneeling.
@@blazeshellz1475 oooo I'm surprised I hadn't tried that. Thanks!
Mannnn, I'm rooting for you, but this episode was brutal. Thinking about doing my own SL run just to remember it all better.
@@Jianichie It was a struggle this time for sure lol!

Another thing, the Horizontal FCS is good with GLs since it gives you room to aim.
@@blazeshellz1475 Yeah I liked wide and shallow in AC2 but I should try horizontal in this game.
How the hell did we handle games with such a narrow FOV. 😂
We had supernatural awareness back then, we lost it after too much 16:9 aspect ratio privilege 😂
