Can You Beat Batman: Arkham City if Every Enemy is Armored?

I used a cheat engine in Batman: Arkham City to input this code [set BmGame.RCharacter bArmoured true], which allowed me to turn every single enemy in the game into an armored enemy. Will I be able to beat the game? Watch and find out!
Most of the skips, tricks, and glitches I use in this run I learned from videos done by ShikenNuggets, so be sure to check out his channel!

Big fan! ❤️🇧🇷

[@johnkamadeva4747]

Indeed, I always loved using this gadget especially on Predator mode (both in game story and Riddler Challenges) whenever there’s a last thug left in the room I simply switched and use the REC to bully him countless times, I always laughed my @ss off whenever zapped the last thug left in room multiple times shooting wildly while the thug being scared shitless all the time 😂 it really makes you feel as if you are the true fear and terror in his life 😆

[@kabochahata9693]

Hugo Strange should have used the middle stick to dodge Batman’s attack.

[@HOTD108_]

​@@SerialDesignationNClone Instead of that brain rotting Suicide Squad game, Rocksteady should have made "Hugo Strange: Counter The Batman". The entire game is just waiting inside of Wonder Tower for hours, and eventually Batman comes to you and then with a single button press Hugo just suplexes Batman off the tower to win Ra's Al Ghul's respect. It's not much, but you can't honestly say it would be worse than Suicide Squad.

7:43 did i just see you slide through a vent? 😀, i just 100% arkham city 2 days ago and never seen that even though ive genuinely have played the game more than a half dozen times im shocked at this new info 😂😂😂

[@splinterchalk]

I remember when I first discovered you could slide through vents instead of opening them manually. It blew my mind

[@kudrzyk]

Thoughts before watching the video. In my experience beat down is flatout broken. By the end of it, everyone just politely backs off. Not saying its impossible to get hit while using it...

[@Jonathan-A.C.]

I believe the reason for why you were able to take down the Lieutenants and the Titans, is because you were attacking them in the manner that they normally would be damaged by, and/or the armor simply didn’t work the same on them. For the Titan, they are ordinarily stunned by the explosive gel, and so are normal thugs, so perhaps that’s the thing that got them. For Mr. Hammer, he normally gets damaged by Titan (as do normal armored thugs), he gets damaged by the cars (same as normal armored thugs), and then upon the final hit, he is able to be taken out. Within the game code, I figure it’s looked at as the same as you on the end of your normal beat down, so the state that he’s in is entirely different than his normal armored state. I imagine those are the reasons, but that’s just speculation. Also for Origins (you may already have done this/know this), you can do the Special Combo Explosive Gel into Multi Ground Takedown to takedown most foes, and it’s easier to get that quick Combo Boost again with the Shock Gloves (although in saying THAT, the Shock Gloves probably do work anyway)

[@Vertically_rotated_shark]

Double takedowns still work on armored thugs 17:46

if making every thug have a gun is possible I think that might be an interesting playthrough.

[@dcrawley507]

I could it'll just involve alot of beatdowns, special combat takedowns, blade takedowns, and the remote electrical charge gadget

[@Vertically_rotated_shark]

Is it possible to create an Arkham City challenge where every unarmed enemy becomes armed with a gun/sniper? Probably would make some combat sections really hard/impossible but I would love to try it out

[@splinterchalk]

I've been trying to figure out how to do that for a while but nothing I've tried so far has worked. It probably requires further modding than just the basic cheat menu, but I definitely want to try that challenge out someday

Does Arkham Knight have any comparable commands? Knightmare mode is starting to get too easy for me

[@splinterchalk]

I think it might. I'm trying to look into Origins and Knight to see what codes are usable, but I haven't been able to find the right files yet. For City I looked into the Global Persistent Data Cooker file and took note of the booleans. Haven't yet been able to find where those are listed in Origins and Knight though :/

Counters damage the armored enemies in Arkham Origins. As well as you can use critical counters on them.

I'd say, just like vault 101 forced roach kill, I would not count pure tutorial section into the challenge given that 99/100 tomes you don't have access to all your utility.
