AC-Veteran Explains "How To Break Enemy FCS-Locks" (AC6)

[@TheRoyalSkies]

Let me know if you guys would like a "Jammer Technique Exclusive" video in the comments below :) Try to stack these lock-breaking techniques on top of the momentum-shift and velocity-changing maneuvers from the previous videos in order to maximize how difficult you are to hit - In case you missed them, you can find those tutorials below: AC6 Aiming: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6HdnHePr951p9U AC6 Dodging: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZqpc4lmd5h0aqc

[@EStephensII]

Yes please! I’m loving this!

[@zephyrumalsend]

The jammer is one of those tools that you don't use much because it's double edged and not immediately obvious how to not get screwed equally as much as your opponent. So, yes, I would like to see a jammer tech video.

[@cridus_]

I made a tanky, mostly-stationary build with the jammer and it's my favourite one. I kinda force people to come in melee range because most just don't wanna free-aim, then I overpower them with my higher survivability and melee weapons >_> (explosive thrower my beloved) I do lose against plasma-heavy builds that stay far and free-aim, though. I'd probably need to try using it in a more aggressive build.

[@EStephensII]

@@cridus_ that’s the Venus fly trap build 😏

[@KaisaCantCommunicate]

i saw one person using them in all the time. he cooked the whole lobby and left.

[@KABLAMMATS]

after all this time bunny hopping is still viable

[@Stammer6]

That's the strategy I used from day-1 when I picked this game up because it's all my brain knew, and it ended up carrying me through the game XD

[@hiddenmaster6062]

I learned from the arena ACs that kept beating me. :D

[@headkicked]

So anyway, I started bunny hopping...

Been breaking lock on's without even realizing it, and now I can do it consciously and wisely. Much thanks kind sir. 👍

[@1nfinitezer0]

Would love to see a jammer video with advanced tips. Been labbing this out, but feel like it will be meta-defining down the road once we've got some players who've really mastered the flow that it dictates in game

[@QuestionableObject]

Huh, should try the jammer in the cinder/chatty fight since thye love missiles so much

[@medvsinofficial]

Dude, THANK YOU for explaining the lock on jammer. I couldn’t figure it out and the only video I had found explaining it made it sound like you HAD to be INISDE the cloud for it to work. Knowing you can just use it in between you and your enemy like a barrier is a game changer and I’m definitely going to revisit my build that I used it with, but had sadly got disregarded due to its “inconsistency” in PvP. Great video, I really appreciate all your insight.

Oh awesome! Im starting to realize I intuitively figured out the bunny hop FCS lock trick, but uts cool to see exactly what i was doing from another perspective!

[@EStephensII]

As an engineer and phd data nerd, this makes so much sense to me! Tbh I figured them out already but I love hearing it from someone other than me to confirm my theories! Thanks, such a great channel!

[@soyekinthehideaway6763]

I think it's also worth noting that if you are able to jump across ontop of your opponent's AC, their AC would not be able to lock onto you, period. It's a brief period of time since it's very unlikely for your opponent to keep be beneath you, but that's probably the closest thing people will have that's akin to "throw-off the hardlock" like how they dodge enemy lock in previous games.

[@rt.hinkel]

Loving these videos, I would definitely check out a jammer specific video if you made it! Subscribed regardless 👍🏻

[@lunarveggie]

That's it, i'm putting a jamming gun on my lightweight build to beat the living crap out of missile boats

[@medvsinofficial]

[@SaberR.Prower]

Honestly, I Never Thought the Jammer was THIS Powerful. Any Missle System is Genuinely Worthless When It's in Play! I Thought You Had to Hit the Enemy Only to Apply the Effect.

[@Rakshael]

I Don't Understand Why You Would Type This Way On Purpose, Because Your Phone Won't Do It Itself So It's A Conscious Choice That's Very Annoying To Read

If you make a manual aim build it turns from niche to unbeatable instantly.

[@novikovPrinciple]

I'm a bit curious as to whether the "Jump" maneuver can break locks even for Tank-tread ACs. Thank you as always for making these vids! (^_^)../

[@w3yr]

FYI Jammer charged shot fires it in front of you as an airburst, so you don't need to aim at the floor. Useful when you're in the air and you need cover ASAP.

[@jasongouffray4202]

I knew bunny hopping was still viable, this proves it. Thank you.

[@zenivinez]

wow dude this is a must watch video.

[@killercloud345]

When 500 missles are headed my way I just *Fart Sfx* and they all miss bada bing bada boom.

[@vmanog67889]

Jumping is literally the best way to break lock on, especially close range. U can jump complete over a enemy and fly straight up to completely restart the lock on while still being locked on, meaning a straight up jump or a jump towards an enemy followed by immediate ascension will actually confuse ur human opponent and the fcs lock on and give u free shots.. if they r elevated or hovering u can do the same by jus dropping straight down with boosters turnt off, nobody can shoot directly underneath them self or above👌

[@jaynyc154]

great vid

[@タイヤキ男]

ありがとう、これはとても重要な情報です

[@ghostxovrc]

i did not expect to see a AC6 tutorial at all, im trying hard to not procrastinate 😞

[@adhdasdfroflxd123]

Like, if boosting/jumping etc breaks your opponent's lock, it's as useful as long as it takes for your opponent's FCS to get back to phase 2? Which might help explain why a lot of ACs at close range just physically cannot get away from my lock if I have 90 close range FCS and 160 firearm spec arms, right? I guess this could encourage more range in engagements, but weapons still don't have a lot of muzzle velocity/effective range so missiles feel like the go-to ranged option since they sort of ignore both of those by being tracking projectiles and having way more range than is needed

[@kyuboxincubox7556]

I'm like, 80% sure tank legs need boost energy to jump right? If you have legs you're fine, if you have treads you gotta have boost EN to jump.

[@EStephensII]

Yup, I’ve been doing this the entire time! I only stay between 375 and 450 meters away and constantly bunny hop with my fast missile builds. Stop telling my secrets! Haha

[@MrAgentIncognito]

I have a problem with determining whether or not firearm specialization helps the aim of melee weapons. I'm especially curious about the projectile based melee weapons, like the Moonlight or HMMR. I've tried to use the jammer in AC Test or test different arms against Rusty in the arena to determine any effect of firearm specialization on the Moonlight, but I can't tell if there's a difference.

[@Niellwyn]

But does this work on enemies in game? Do enemy ACs and MTs use the same targeting system that we players do? Are these techniques viable against bosses like BALTEUS or the Enforcer?

[@TheRoyalSkies]

It should work on everything except the close range attacks. I haven't tested it against bosses, but jammers work on MT's, ACs, and other standard enemies pretty well. Bosses might have their own thing, but I wouldn't be surprised if it threw off their missiles lol

[@Donkeyknowsme]

use soft lock

[@windhelmguard5295]

@@KABLAMMATS best strat against reverse joints is manual aim grenade launchers, when they jump or quick boost, just shoot the ground near where they're going to land. a bit of height advantage is very helpful here, but not necessary.

It only has benefits if you are better at calculating the intercepts of every projectile on your AC better than the FCS -

[@pout1385]

@@TheRoyalSkies I wish they had made it so that every time you put the big circle on the enemy, the FCS would start tracking the enemy, but it would take less time than the soft lock or hard lock, similar to the lock box in Gen 1-3
