Can You Beat Armored Core VI with Only Explosives?

Having never personally stepped into the pilot seat of an AC, I felt a bit intimidated, but irrationally excited to take a swing at Armored core VI: Fires of Rubicon. Explosives are often fun in games in the general sense, and I found the tracking missiles to be extremely satisfying. If I can watch things blow up from the comfort of not having to aim? I dunno, I just think it's a lot of fun.

I am curious to see if this will spell more titles from the franchise in the nearish future, because it was a delight to play through. I'm not quite sure how I would revisit it, but it's one that I'd love to, because seriously. Once you get a good feel on the controls, it just feels so good to move and flow through combat. It's short enough to not overstay its welcome, but long enough that it's a wonderfully full experience. Would recommend. Unless you get motion sickness.

It's funny how he stumbled headfirst into the meta missile boat build

I was in no way expecting philosophy from "what if I cratered an entire planet" lmao

It's always wonderful to see someone appreciate and praise the game for what it was, and what it was trying to tell us. I enjoy your moments of waxing poetic, Spuddy

Last thing I was expecting was poetry from this

About Phase 2 Balteus, fire is counted as Explosive damage in the game. You can tell because Bad Cook and the Napalm Launcher have a little rocket symbol in the top right corner of their statblocks, which is how Explosive damage is indicated

Fun fact you may have missed about loghunt: You can go to AC Data & equip anyone's AC that you've fought (as long as you have the parts) it even tells you what parts they were using. A HUGE help for new players 👍🏾

20:13 Actually, Rusty only leaves if he takes too much damage. Otherwise, if you kill the two bosses fast enough, he’ll be around until the very end of the mission.

Also this was almost the exact build I fell back on any time a boss was giving me too much trouble. Pure missiles is insanely effective and cheesy. lol

The (high grade) AC pilots are quite already clinically dead, and STUFFED with cybernetics, actually. That's how they 'survive' the g-forces of those giant metal things dashing around so much.

It's pretty metal. Been a thing in the series since the freakin' PSOne, too.

20:15 Rusty doesn't abandon you in this mission, you just took long enough with the one guy that the other managed to down him.

All of these challenge runs in AC 6 so far either stop halfway or only go for a single playthrough, forgetting about NG+/NG++/NG+++, and skip out on a lot of additional content like new missions, gear, and endings.
For example if you did a bit of scavenging around and collected combat logs, one of the last unlocks is a really cool handheld siege missile launcher, which fires a huge salvo of missiles that hover in the air for a while before starting to track the target. It's pretty strong, poses a good spectacle, and is very fun to use!
