Armored Core 6 as FromSoftware intended - 1.01 IBIS

[@Etheoxa]

Very interesting going back to a time when the player wasn't as strong (ignoring Zimms) Tracks: Dive - Armored Core Nexus; Cosmos New Version - Armored Core 20th Anniversary; Fever - Armored Core Formula Front; Build: End of Video.

interesting to know that rifles were the solution from the beginning as they're still quite strong against CEL 240 even in their pre-buff state

[@ColtonGamingTV]

I forget how I beat IBIS Cel 240 pre-nerf, but I do remember the next day or a few days after it got nerfed and was just glad, I got to beat it before the nerfs. Same goes for Consort Radahn in Elden Ring.

Spoiler Warning: I think they should have put the unnerfed BALTEUS in the "Attack the Watchpoint" ALT mission. As far as I know everyone who reaches new game++ has already gotten the Fires of Raven and Liberator of Rubicon endings. This means they would have beaten Ayre, Archebus BALTEUS, and IBIS twice. So in theory a player would have more than enough parts, skill, and knowledge of the game to take on Unnerfed Reg BALTEUS.

[@مؤمنعمرو-ب7ط]

I don't think he should have been nerfed to begin with

[@woop348]

But the unnerfed version is barely different from the “nerfed”

[@apophis7712]

​@woop348 I fought it twice before the nerfs Took me quite a while the first time, but during my second time, it barely took long at all The nerfs were only made to make slower ACs more viable, but other than that, the boss wasn't that much harder before. Most of us just weren't good pilots atthe time and now a huge chunk of us know the moveset at the back of our heads. So to the people still bitching about how much weaker it is now, SKILL ISSUE. Y'all just sucked at the game back then

Balteus is still a prototype before Snail gets a hold of it.

[@Schpoonman]

Hardest boss in the game at the time. Those blade attacks are the most punishing thing in the game. The Rubicon Fly Trap is jawdropping.

[@crescious3231]

I played through the entire game on 1.01 at launch and was pretty much a Nachtreiher speed sweat with close range weapons. I actually accidentally did the bad ending and had to fight Ayre, and never completed the game because that fight made me rage so bad, I hid the game on steam and forgot about it. Trying to play that way now, it's damn near impossible lol. Maybe I need to give mid weight rifles a shot, since it seems like they've always been pretty good.

those RII MTs were just chilling

[@gabriellupo1116]

This build reminds me of the first white glint. I think it’s the hopping movement paired with melee

[@kayuzik1130]

Man i remember going at this like 2 days after the game released, it took me a cumulative 4 hours. Turns out missiles were a bad idea lol

[@ElectronNinja]

I remember suffering this on launch. The lance and bunko wombo combo got me through. Beyond what feels like nerfing the health on several bosses did they slow them down too? Rocking the dual curtis dps bomb these days post buff.

[@Etheoxa]

Bosses didn’t get slower, ACs got faster

[@Bug-Intercourser]

Yknow when I first beat CEL-240 back in 1.01 I didn't think it was that tough since I just had the wrong build (I was going for a tank because I was stupid, I got better though), honestly Balteus was harder since it was just earlier

[@aze0012]

Nglquite a few of the bosses in 1.01 makes the nerfed versions look like wet noodle in comparison Poor balteus.... his missiles cant hit shit anymore

[@jager477]

Why use the starter rifle btw? No judgement just wondering on the strategy for it.
