Nice mech bro

[@Blind8K]

I'm curious as to why you're using the BASHO arms? The BASHO are built for melee weapons with high melee specialization, but you're not using any melee weapons (and I don't believe anything other than total mech weight affects kick). With your build, both the MELANDER C3 and the AC-2000 TOOL ARM pieces fit within the load parameters and have nearly double or triple the amount of Firearm Spec for tracking. I'm sure it doesn't affect it that much given you're using the OCELLUS, but with a 2x ZIMMERMAN build every point counts to not miss those crucial staggers for the shoulder-mounted 'delete' buttons. We know for a fact that Firearm Specialization doesn't affect missiles whatsoever, and it mostly helps with soft lock aiming in the mid/long range (and doesn't affect hard lock that much), but tracking some of the faster bosses and AC's like the Ibis, Rokumonsen, any of the wheelchair AC's, and the "coral bosses" (hopefully that avoids spoilers) mostly happens at mid/long range while they're zooming around and you're waiting for their approach.
The only thing I can think of that the Basho has is raw AP and weight compared to the MELANDER C3 arms, but I'm not sure it's worth losing 75 Firearm Spec and 27 Recoil Control for ~400 AP (repair kits existing for 12000 AP without OS Tuning makes 400 AP even less than it sounds), 13 Boost Speed, 6 QB Speed, and 0.02 QB Reload. The AC-2000 TOOL ARM option is slightly less drastic, but it's weight lets the build fall into the ideal QB Weight of the BST-G2/P06SPD booster for maximum Boost Speed without hindering QB Speed.
With the BASHO arms, you're already well over your Ideal QB Weight on the GILLS by ~8500 so Boost and QB Speed probably aren't the goals here or you'd use a higher tolerance booster like the ALULA w/ MELANDER C3 arms and the DF-GN-08 SAN-TAI generator (QB Speed Priority) or the BST-G2/P06SPD w/ AC-2000 TOOL ARM arms with your current one (Boost Speed Priority).
Not trying to backseat or nitpick your build, since you're obviously S-Ranking the chapters anyways, but if it means getting even the tiniest bit more performance out of the pieces then I hope this helps! This game is incredible, and this amount of mechanical depth deserves to be explored and exploited :D
Good stuff with the S-Rank videos btw!

Huh… I guess I wasn’t paying attention when I was building it.
Thanks for pointing that out!

[@BRZRKBAT7322]

Will you be doing the rest of the chapters? This was great gameplay!

[@All_Mighty672]

I guess I've taken a little break for a bit! But I think I could crank out Ch. 5 maybe! Earlier Chapters may be a little boring to some, but if enough people want it I'll do those ones too!
