[ AC6 ] Invading COOP Games as Nightfall Raven

[@durakeno5575]

if you think about it. The Invasion mechanic is so in-line with Armored Core lore. Of course there's gonna be another Raven hired on the opposite side that's gonna ruin your day(mission)(job).

[@souper813]

It would be a cool mechanic in the base game ngl.

[@petervilla5221]

Really miss those missions where an enemy raven has a mid mission intro cutscene. Guard the Train was a real one.

[@Biltzeebub]

I always loved it in project phantasma and MOA when arena AC's appear on the other side.

Iguazu hiring yet another assassin to kill C4-621:

[@bombomos]

It's facts. Ravens have been ruining your missions since Gen 1. I remember in AC another Age. There was a mission that your handler literally told you to run to the object so you could survive. Cuz two ACs were sent after you. This was like mission 7 or 8 lmfao

[@marselo1316]

must be pretty cool to see a nightfall cosplayer only to realize they fight like they’re lore accurate😄😳😳

[@souper813]

The Pilebunker was very difficult to land while I was getting footage for this, but oh boy was it satisfying to see when it landed.

[@thechroniclesofcriss942]

@@souper813 i'm guessing the secret to landing it is assault boost?

[@cabnbeeschurgr]

Doesn't nightfall kinda suck in the lore tho? Like the Cataphract is really surprised by how good 621 is which means Nightfall probably wasn't great

I saw a guy use STEEL HAZE today and rolled my eyes. Then I saw the dude roll some heads. This had a similar vibe. It's been a good day.

[@florence9606]

2:39 moment makes you really appreciate the sound designers here. You hear the compressing of hydraulics and can FEEL the absolute danger it represents even before the actual KU-CHUNK of the impact. I actually sucked in a breath anticipating the strike right before that AC narrowly slipped out of range.

[@souper813]

They nailed it with the sound design of the pilebunker. The amount of damage it does is amazing but you really gotta be accurate with your timing or a whiff could cost you your AC.

[@therandomartist3201]

The PCA seeing Raven: OH FUCK OK TIME TO…….lock….in?? The PCA seeing raven fighting with them: ODIN IS WITH US!

[@R-XI_Sulla]

Now you say it Is nightfall an Odin Referencen?

[@CrashD6]

I remember the AC3 days when on missions you'd finish the objective and then "Wait... we're picking something in the radar, IT'S AN ENEMY AC!", that would always give me a mini heart attack, AC6 should unlock this feature after you get all 3 endings, and FS should add random offline AI invasions as well

Damn, stuff like these reminds me of playing ACfA on Hard mode where they would just add a extra NEXT on the missions but instead YOU are the one that's actually being added as an extra enemy.

[@johnprice6271]

Wait... GUYS, WHERE'S THE CATAPHRACT??

[@souper813]

In the first battle I have no clue. I guess dude just saw three Ravens and just decided he didn't want any part of that. In the other battle though we seemed to just ignore him completely funnily enough.

[@flapflapflapflap]

Cataphract captain just wasnt paid well enough

[@twinodoom]

Nightfall already destroyed it

[@deathpeepoo]

and went back to watch it and it is so funny watching it zip across the screen in a split second because it’s trying to keep up with the fight lmao

[@mairo021]

It would be aswesome to see this as a feature in the next armored core game

[@souper813]

Agreed.

[@Sultingas]

This mod just shows what I've been saying forever. Repair kits should be part of the PvP if the AP is so low. I'd prefer drawn out matches like this opposed to rounds that we do get.

[@souper813]

Imo, ACS overload as a mechanic in the PvP needs to be removed entirely. All fights just boil down to whoever stuns the other guy first wins.

[@Sultingas]

@@souper813 I agree with this mostly. Right now, it feels like melee is only used as punish and I feel that's part of the reason. I think ACS strain would actually work better if it were a component of resource management, rather than offensive pressure. For example, if you're constantly spamming heavy attacks your ACS strain will build. Builds would have to incorporate some sort of compromise or risk straining their own systems and opening themselves up if they can't finish the job with their weapons.

[@hel_-1695]

​@@Sultingas hold up you're actually cooking here, sign this man up for FromSoft development

[@malikoniousjoe]

@@souper813I’ve been whining about this since release as a 4th/5th gen player. The stagger system sucks shit in 6th and ruins a lot of the fun it has the potential for. Why do all my guns fire cotton balls until the enemy AC finally gets winded and decides to take real damage? How the hell is my internal software malfunctioning altering how my armor eats bullets? It’s not like I have PA that’s being stripped or my AC is moving in a way to absorb impact before the ACS shits the bed. And damage and stagger tend to be proportional so you’re never weighing the option of lighter weaponry when the only thing that matters is finding the heaviest gun possible to stagger followed up by a one hit ko from Ashmead or ML Redshift. In older gens weapons had trade offs statwise that made almost everything useful depending on playstyle. In 4th gen guns that stripped Primal Armor generally did less AP damage and vice versa so you had to weigh attacking opponents with higher DEF with more consistent damage against the option to clip their DEF and OB potential so your weaker guns could kill as efficiently with a slower target to boot. In 5th Gen Handguns and Shotguns had low ammo and damage, but they inflicted stagger on hit, not like in 6, but on basically every hit, so they could be used in tandem with a heavier weapon in the bay position or offhand to turn an opponent into a sitting duck, as well as having application in the Team modes as well since one player could be the nuisance slowing the target while the other members lined up a killing blow or moved on the objective. The stagger system in 6 is both unbalanced amongst the weaponry and deters a lot of playstyles since the damage wall is so damn high before ACS Strain.

[@peteandaprilbrandy2819]

@@souper813we need a mod that allows us to play as any of the bosses, someone already put the two final bosses together. (Spoilers if you click read more and scroll all the way down.) But it would be fun to suddenly have Balteus drop in and dump 50 missiles into who you’re fighting, or on you. it’s Ayre vs iguazu.

I wish we got some 4th/5th gen parts, even as DLC. I would love to have the Aaliyah or Gawain Head and Jotun core. Getting to pilot Malicious/RIP3M would be a treat too

[@Drillz007]

i think co-op and invasions was the one thing that dark souls could offer to armored core and they missed the opportunity big time it just would have worked so well to have friendly mercs and hired guns out to get you in the middle of a mission

[@diel6755]

I once sortie with nightfall AC in climb the wall mission but change the the RB weapon to earshot. It's cool to kick ass in 1v2 as Nightfall especially after hitting them rubiconian handshake

[@peteandaprilbrandy2819]

I love the head part, kinda wish raven had a whole AC built off the concept of the head where without the strict aim mode the AC looks less armored and less menacing but when you switch to that auto target the whole AC would kinda do a transformers thing where the whole AC closes up into a more armored state, it wouldn’t do anything major except it could work for making an AC with deployable camouflage parts, or it could be deployable heatsinks like on Walter’s AC

[@someai3959]

Did this, but with G5 Iguazu cause I think it makes sense that he'd keep harassing you throughout the whole game. I'm also lore accurate cause I suck at PVP, but anytime I do start to win, they always seem to disconnect.

FromSoft really should implement invasion mode in Armored Core. I find it more fun and adds some kind of a challenge for the player.

[@nattapongpimson7994]

Watching this clip make me wish that Fromsoft would put more effort into AC6 Multiplayer, at least give me Free for all and 2v2 not just 1v1 and 3v3 or a Co-op campaign with invasion would also be great, hell just a few co-op mission that let you fight agaisnt a really hard boss or very long/large scale mission that are fun or worth replaying would already be good enought for me.

This should've come standard. Co-op and invasion make so much sense in the world of armored core. Oh you're going to hit this important target, guess what that info got leaked and the target/target owner has send a merc after you. That would've been so cool. And the co-op could've also imcluded an online version of the consort system.

two questions. Can the coop raid be toggled? and can you link me to a good tutorial on how to mod this game bc I cannot figure it out for the life of me.

[@souper813]

Raid settings can be toggled so you can turn it off if you want. As for modding the game with the COOP mod you simply have to extract the folder in the game's directory then run the AC6 COOP exe.

[@goodhunter9791]

Such a pity ya can't get this kind of experience except through mods. Really missed opportunity

[@Sensei.Of.Kivotos]

Dude, the gameplay is masterful. I wish to be as good as you. Any advice on how to master the build?

[@souper813]

The gameplay I was able to present in the video was only possible due to my opponents luckily not running meta builds so its very unlikely to be recreated in a regular multiplayer setting. Though my honest advice for learning how to play this kind of build would be to be proficient in assault boosting and knowing stun duration for the pilebunker strike as the pilebunker is 90% of your damage. Fastest way to close the distance for a pilebunker strike is to engage assault boost and immediately cancel the boost with the pilebunker's melee animation. Doing this correctly keeps your momentum as the pilebunker charges. You can see this occur at 2:15 and 2:40 you especially want to do this if you or your opponent is off the ground. To practice this, I would suggest not trying it in the standard multiplayer. Instead, play in the Arena against V1 Freud, G1 Michigan and Nightfall Raven as these three appear to have the most aggressive AI and generally fight most similarly to actual players.

[@neroblitz9336]
