Hopefully it will be even more vibrant when the meta becomes more balanced. Though that's however long it takes for them to release a new balance patch. Unfortunately, it is going to be awhile before we see one, largely in part because of the recent earthquake tsunami combo... Pray for those over in Japan...
I never played Armored Core 4 but damm do I love the aaliyah design, and Well done on replicating it play style. 👍 I'm started getting into rank matches. I run a similar set up, dual AR medium weight reverse joint AC with medium dual missile launcher.
The fight against the blader at 2:45 was real nice. Great plays on both sides. Also, I’m surprised those Tankers aren’t mixing up sustain and burst damage on their load outs, they don’t have the luxury of popping in and out, so they need to focus on keeping lightweights pinned with sustain and pushing commitment with the cannons. Going 4x cannons allows lightweights to just dance around them.
Before 1.05, “bazooka tanks” were infamous because the warning system that tells you when the bazooka shell is coming your way was bugged; it would tell you way too late, and this bug only happened with the heavy tank legs. Now the heavy tank legs have a new issue: they sometimes don’t remain staggered when you’re smacking them with a melee weapon, so using the laser slicer on them is a death sentence for light weights since you can’t quick boost away during the animation. Long story short, there’s a huge reason why laser tanks are part of the meta at high ranked.
Nice to see some people still use honest builds rather than just Rat or Lazer Canon Tank builds. I am sure they would have made a patch but sadly Japan got hit by that Earthquake stagger into tsunami punish combo.
I’ve fought you before. Youre incredibly good. I can’t tell if I’m just bad at building a mech, or I just suck. But you are incredible good at your movement and combos. Alea Lecta Est is my pilot name. My main ACs are HAZMAT and SAMUS. Hope to see you again on the battlefield.
Now this is a refreshing sight to see, the old fashioned rifle with smg setup. Optimal, no, but fun regardless. I should give ludlows a try again in the future.
I managed to reach B rank with this build a short while ago (probably would’ve been faster if I hadn’t been playing a bunch of Elden Ring getting ready for the new DLC lol). However, I made a few changes, and have two variants. Both of them use the G2/P05 FCS take advantage of mid range combat while having a lower EN load (albeit it’s not as good up close as the tablet admittedly, had to really learn to skirt the 120m-200m range of the opponent), and the VP-44D head for lower EN load and better defenses/attitude stability/AP. The first variant I use BASHO arms for better AP and overall defenses, the second uses the Lammy arms for better recoil control to help keep the Ludlow on target a bit longer, though they also have different paint schemes which is the real reason I switch between them lol. I don’t hate my heavy weights, but going back to my old school LW Armored Core play style has been a blast.
Hah! I recognize Bayoken from this video. He called me toxic after he rage quit multiple times on me. Seems like he rage quits on others too. Recognize a lot of names, surprised I didn't face you!
Funny thing is I actually made one a while back, but I had no choice but to use the bubble shoulder weapon to replicate the chain gun. Now that there’s an actual shoulder gat I’ll have to take another look at it.
Awesome piloting Raven, can you please explain why you chose the Yaba over VP-20C, I tryed to find a reason to use the Yaba on some builds but always revert back to the VP-20C simply because of the EN output.
Sure. It’s the post en recovery on the YABA that works the same as the coral Gen for more high burst movement. This is after the buff in 1.03. I don’t have to worry about red lining as much due to how fast it recovers if I do.
I am starting to see an increase of Armored Core content on my feed, and I couldn't be happier.
Can't wait to get back into it soon
Same here and Happy New Year
Ranked gave motivation for the game
@@irongeneral5488 definitely. Fromsoft taking the right steps and listening to what players want.

"These AC Pilots In A Rank Are No Rookies" - proceeds to beat them no sweat with style :D Gj, man!
GG 😎
pairing the ludlow with the ransetsu is genius it fixes all of my problems trying to dual wield either and reliably reaching stagger w larger acs wow
Indeed. Hope you enjoy and have success on your builds 😎
Pairing Ludlow with RF, huh. Never thought of this combo before
Also that generator looks promising on light builds, too
Definitely this is my main build unless I have to crutch meta 😂.
same here, i’ve always thought the luddies should be paired up to be more effective. but this ransetsu ludlow pairing seems really good
@@neco_arc_gaming after the buff to ludlow in patch 1.05 it definitely worth a try pairing with weapons to keep up stagger.
loving the Div2 Soundtrack also that earshot came in CLUTCH a few times sick plays!
Appreciate it bro.

Yep. That’s the difference between good pilots and stacking a bunch of damage trying to win the round in 20 secs 😂

@@JC-eo2qe heavy tank players out here living the best life 😂
Classic build for strategy and expertise. I used to rock a similar build in ACMOA. Brilliant use of terrain as well
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed Raven 😎

Yeah I prefer actual fights even if I lose rather have that than a Stagger race fight that lasts 20 secs 😂
Bro just have really good wifi connection
I was gonna say I feel like his quick boosts are dead on the money every time. I feel like sometimes I QB and still get hit. I can’t tell sometimes.
GLORIOUS,CONQUER THE META,ALL HAIL THE ANTIMETA
I am impressed you’re really good
Appreciate it 😎
@@brothadahkness are you on discord to ?
@@hamzadesidragonsarwar yep. I’m in the Xbox AC discord
That some ancient combo man !! SMG pair with rifle the popular tradition loadout been using since Gen 3
The play style that feels natural to me 😎
So I'm guessing the best way to do a ballistic build is to have two different rates of fire for accuracy as opposed to focusing on fire power.
Yep a good balance of damage with stagger build up

Thanks for the kind words Raven. Hope to fight you again 😎
I was flying through the ranks until I hit A rank and then all of a sudden I felt like I was fighting NEXT pilots
Ya bro. The pilots and meta in the higher ranks are no joke 😂.
Now this is a refreshing sight to see, the old fashioned rifle with smg setup. Optimal, no, but fun regardless. I should give ludlows a try again in the future.
Still a gen 4 pilot at heart. I’ll take fun over optimal any day. Hope you have success with it 😎

@@JC-eo2qe nice ya no hate on the heavy weights, but light weight action is where it’s at 😎. Good luck on your future fights/builds
Good moves, see you in S rank
Got to S rank 27 😎
Nice job bro!!!
Thank you and happy new year 😎
earshot gaming 🤝🚬🗿
Baseg!
Interesting choice of generator, just recently got around to trying it out too.
Yessir. It got a buff in 1.03. I love it. You get almost half back if you red line and it has real good en output and capacity
Yooooo nice work! Soundtrack information please?
Thanks a lot. They are all in the description 😎
Whoa that is same build as me!
Nice 😎
Keep upload.
Thank you. I needed this.
That tank DC lmao
Can’t make it up lol. Rage quit! 😂 😊
Hah! I recognize Bayoken from this video.
He called me toxic after he rage quit multiple times on me.
Seems like he rage quits on others too.
Recognize a lot of names, surprised I didn't face you!
Ya the AC 6 pvp community has some interesting individuals 😂. Hopefully we can get some fights in customs 😎.
Old King cosplay when?

So it’s more of a high risk high reward generator for aggressive play styles that I prefer.
@@brothadahkness thanks, I thought that was the reason. The thing is, the VP-20C also has a nice post EN recovery, maybe not as fast as Yaba.
@@Zakat82 yeah after the buff yaba and hokoshi got in 1.03. I ventured out to other gens just to try and I settled on yaba.
That build looks similar to a build I made in ACFA😅
That’s the look I was going for. AC4/FA are my favorites
I feel like laser weapons miss way too much in pvp…seems like it’s not a good weapon unless ur fighting a tank
Ya lasers are a harder one since you can’t spam them. But testing between arms and a good FCS for your play-style definitely helps.
S Rank soon……real soon
Congrats on getting there! Have you sent hate mail to mormel yet like goth eater?
Sorry idk a lot of pilots by name but salt get sent back and forth in Rank. That’s a fact 😂. I try to say GG’s and keep it pushing. 😎
@@brothadahkness nice
SB-033M MORLEY ？
No….earshot for big boom 😎
You ain't doing anything spectacular. You just keep shooting missles and shooting while staying at a distance.
Don’t forget my grenade launcher 🤣
You ain't doing anything worth reading. You just keep being a dick while staying at a distance :D
New to Armored Core are you?
@@whitehuayra 😂
Spotted the kite hater. What else do u hate? Missile rats? Laser Lobsters? LCB Tanks? Dual Zimmer Buerzel heavies? BVOs?
