AC6 "RUSTY" BOSS FIGHT + CUTSCENE ARMORED CORE 6: FIRES OF RUBICON (PS5)

[@manwiththemachinegun]

Those who survive a long time on the battlefield start to think they're invincible. I bet you do, too, Buddy.

[@thegoodwin]

Rusty and Pixy. Both say buddy. And their names end with a "y".

[@DeepestDankest]

"Look's like we both still got what it takes" "Now we find out who's number 1!"

[@SirL65]

"Have you found a reason to fight yet... Buddy." "You found your purpose... didn't you buddy?"

[@tadasmode1539]

Rusty will always fly high inside my heart, only he can.

[@yoriavila4308]

In the Fires of Raven route, Rusted Pride plays for Rusy, marking you the Villain of Rubicon In the Liberator of Rubicon route, Rusted Pride plays for you, passed down from Rusty the Hero of Rubicon

[@MortarMike]

and it feels so good both ways lol, even if it's a little bit bittersweet haha

[@screamthesecond3946]

villain of rubicon, hero of the universe.

[@anhilliator1]

This is the classic mecha staple of fighting your best friend because you're stuck on two different sides of the war. Neither of you wants to go through with it, but you don't have a choice.

[@teaguejelinek4038]

Na he had it comin & had no shot

Yes and its kino every time

Rusty's OST is probably one of the best ones in all of armored core.

The weight on his shoulders is unbearable... he's literally fighting YOU to save the planet, and you don't even realize you're the actual villain. That "Pulse Armor Recovery" gets me every time, he was DETERMINED to save the world.

[@shirosaki97]

The fight of ideals is really good, because both Rusty and 621 are fighting for the good of something, and just so happen to clash For 621, we see time and again just how incredibly dangerous even a tiny amount of coral is and we know it is exponentionally growing, with the observers theorising that the coral would inevitably create a vacuum decay like scenario where it just begins to scorch the universe rapidly, we are convinced to commit to the lesser of two evils to stop that doomsday. Meanwhile Rusty is trying to stop the lunacy of burning an entire solar system to stop a threat that may or may not even happen. It makes doing both endings so fun for me, because I can understand and honestly support both sides knowing the full story.

[@assidragon]

It's really ambigious if you're a villain here. Leaving Coral alone will cause them to merge with humanity one way or the other, essentially ending humanity and resulting in some kind of symbiosis. O'Keefe directly says it - sure it sucks being a human in the world of AC, but it could be still preferable to not being a human anymore. And if you would want to remain human, burning the coral is the only way. That doesn't neccesarily make one evil.

[@bruvathroatpuncher500]

And what sucks more... Rusty doesn't hate you at all and in fact respects you, but he feels he has to stop you no matter what, even if he doesn't want to. Defeating him makes the battle weigh even more.

[@YuraOlsen]

There aren't any villains in this story. There are just different heroes

[@YuraOlsen]

@fencel4143 yeah, exactly. He's just an asshole

[@Demarini71691]

This fight is sick man, the VA did a good job, at the beginning you can tell he's pissed at Raven, can hear the hatred in his voice. Then when he talks about your resolve and realized you are fighting for something yourself and have sacrificed something, even if he doesn't know what, you can hear his voice go back to normal. Like he's happy that Raven at least found a purpose and isn't totally mindless.

[@ness1278]

Dude, i just found out if you assault boost straight at the beginning he does it too and rams into you head first as well, :0 such a sick boss fight

[@ctmarine9100]

You're also quite literally the Char Aznable to his Amuro Ray, as I've seen pointed out many a times.

[@dastan.a6632]

Rusty is a straight G. The man plays on my heartstrings.

[@JudgeNicodemus]

Barely beat him, had to fight through tears. I swear I'll liberate Rubicon in the next playthrough!!!

[@CreamTheEverythingFixer]

The amount likeness between Rusty and Pixy, from the way they nickname the player, the role the play in the story and the very way they talk to the player. Crazy

[@Driptor_Swagpyre]

Im so glad I did this ending second. This fight had so much more impact for me. I didn't want to do it. "You must of chosen something, sacrificed something. You found your purpose didn't you, buddy." made me tear up. It was so unexpected from a game like this. FromSoftware has truly made a masterpiece.

[@ness1278]

I unfortunately did it for my first, had a feeling it was the bad ending when i took more money and pissed off ayre. Then i knew it was when i had to fight my buddy :(

[@AceTheHollow]

Something I just noticed, which was admittedly probably obvious: Rusty only heals twice before his terminal armor hits (and he heals again). I always just assumed his final repair after the terminal armor was some sort of resolve thing but no, it was set up within the fight and still abides by the rules of the game which is really cool.

[@the_infinexos]

My first fight with Rusty was so raw. Got him on my first try, but not without expending ALL my ammunition (I had a double trigger build) and sometime after I activated his final phase, he activated my Terminal Armor, and from there it was just an all-out fist fight. There I was, all out of ammo and repair kits, both of us running on fumes, dashing towards Rusty like a madman to punch him to death for the last bit of his health. It really felt like some straight up anime rivalry shit and I'm sad I'll probably never get to relive that moment

[@rickmaldoo4205]

Good story though

[@xXBlueZenithXx]

the best and saddest fight of all the game..

I think the endboss of the Fires of Raven ending is sadder.

Rusty is the true wingman. All or nothing buddy.

[@rubinellemahrahn6591]

This fight made me ugly cry. Wait for me, buddy...I'll be right behind you. You can chew me out on the other side...

[@TheSpacegamer]

The writing and VA in this game is absolutely fantastic. Never thought I would get a lump in my throat from an AC game.

[@NotYurAverageJoe]

God this fucked me up even more than Solaire. Rusty’s such a heroic figure, the reveal of his true conviction like this was jaw dropping and the setpiece and music made it hit so hard.

[@jajafeez7318]

with the color scheme, and the way he moves, its like fighting Anubis mech from zone of the enders

Thank God I went with other choice. Fighting alongside Rusty is the best possible outcome

[@binnieb20]

I love how Rusty is essentially the Armored Core equivalent to Solo Wing Pixy. I haven't got Armored Core 6 yet but I will eventually. Someone needs to make that Ratatouille meme of Anton but with Pixy and Rusty.
