Top Lightweight PvP Players Teach "BVO Build" | Armored Core 6 ft. RamenRook & JC_Tek

Share Code (PC) RamenRook's "Rising Tide": L6Z3S6J6T9GM Share Code (PC) JC_Tek's "Scorpio": A85M20KYWC64 Check out the players! JC_Tek's Twitter: twitter.com/jc_tek RamenRook's Twitch: www.twitch.tv/ramenrook RamenRook's KZbin: www.youtube.com/@RamenRook Some extras I couldn't fit in the video: -There is currently a bug where laser-slicer will not cause melee stagger against tank tread opponents. RamenRook stated that although this was part of the reason why he swapped to pulse-blade, he thinks even if the bug wasn't there he'd still use it. -The VP-44D is a popular head to use in the west, but in Japan the Ephemera head is highly popular due to it's energy defense. -RamenRook is thinking of switching his 6-Cell Missiles to a Sweet Sixteen instead.

[@Kazrel]

As a lightweight you really see how badly the game was centered around PvE when heavy weight tanks can just hold forward and spam fire while you're scrambling around like a coked up cockroach. But man, LWs just feel so much more fun to play.

[@ni9274]

Problem is assault boost coupled with the hardlock, I don’t see any reason why the hard lock should be that powerful in pvp, imo assault boost should only allow you to move in straight line on heavy

[@thorinhannahs4614]

Yeah AB really threw a wrench in balancing. I love to play a light weight but I accept that there are better and easier options. It was really bad with the wheel chair since that could move just as fast if not faster than a lot of light weights but had AP and weight capacity.

[@thorinhannahs4614]

@conharb Minus the Kiting I did. I don't like missiles.

[@Kiyosuki]

Perhaps if melee weapons’ damage bypassed defense values more it’d be an interesting high risk answer to heavyweight builds. In my experience a lot of heavies try, and in many cases succeed, in opting to just tank the melee hit and force a trade where they have the undisputed advantage due to their high AC and imo overturned defense values

[@adamcappella8088]

I mean yea, fromsoft even said the game was centered around pve and not pvp

[@IHiggs]

This was such a fun video to watch I hope you make more of these, it really feels like these guys are characters IN the game and were watching an interview about the the best players of the Arena in the actual AC6 Universe

[@matasa7463]

They would be like Ace Mercs on the ranking list, straight up legends that the mercs and corpo pilots talk about.

[@playreach360]

The way you show off in game examples of what is currently being discussed is fantastic. Im still trying to wrap my head around on how to make builds, and watching this just makes things a lot clearer. Awesome video!

[@SplitFace4393]

[@sinners_nsfw]

This is the best PVP tutorial video format I've ever seen, damn, I feel like I just had a masterclass with PhD AC professionals, seriously. Awesome editing too. Thanks a lot for this! And please, keep it up! Really amazing content.

[@TylerDoesGaming]

Wow, thank you so much for the shoutout! As a fellow BVO ENJOYER, I loved this video! Thank you for this deep dive! I especially enjoyed the info regarding the aperitif swap gimmick, I have been experimenting with some missile tech like this but never considered the aperitif, I will definitely have to give it a try! Thanks again for the shoutout Mobi, it really means a lot :)

[@MobiGeeksOut]

I'm glad you enjoyed the video as much as I enjoyed yours! :D

[@arrowx3748]

I really love this video because it actually celebrates the players skill and builds. I've seen only videos that complain about the PvP, and yeah there are good amount of problems, but it's nice to see a video that dosen't complain about the meta or devalue players wins because of what build they use. Ramen and JC seem like lovely people who deserve the respect they've gain, Amazing video Mobi.

[@d0nat136]

We got these dudes using the BVO, this very optimized style of build Then there's me thats climbing the ranks with dual napalms (Just wanna add that they're underrated af)

THIS VIDEO IS AMAZING MOBI YOURE GONNA MAKE ME CRY HOMIE. PLEASE DO MORE LIKE THIS!!!

[@Cerox]

I finally tried a BVO build myself after watching this. I gotta say... If you know what you're doing with movement and managing your energy, you barely get hit.. The only weakness I found so far was heavy tank builds with lasers. Other than that every other build is manageable.

[@charyou3167]

If you’re running into a lot of tanks switch to slicer. I haven’t switched to pulse blade like most because I keep running into tanks and slicer tears through them.

[@DatAsianGuy]

yeah, tanks with laser weapons are a pain in the ass, because of how the netcode treats lasers. and if either of you have high ping, which is likely you end up getting hit when visually speaking you didn't on your end, makes fighting laser weapon builds a pain the ass.

[@oddtimesigs4084]

Wow. All I can say is well done. I’ve tried out a hybrid of these two builds following watching this video and the results do not disappoint…the abundance of energy and speed combined with the quick stagger window decimates. I’ve won every match I’ve tried with this build so far. Thanks for the deep dive guys! Would be interested in seeing optimized medium-weight builds too!

[@plasticmissile]

This is quite possibly the highest quality content I’ve seen on Armored Core. Great interview and edit. Keep it going! 🙌

[@sefirotallo]

This video has given me life, I just finished the 3 finals and took all the pieces of gear to start in the pvp, the first 50 duels have been very hard. I have just been using a light AC from the beginning and the fact of seeing in this video conclusions that I have ended up reaching in my journey has been a wonderful feeling, which engine has to go yes or yes in my light AC, what thrusters with what chest, headaches with EN supply eficiency XDD Thank you guys for doing this work and uploading it, with that tone of interview with two expert players. Just super entertaining, and you have fueled even more my desire to continue improving to see if I rise from rank D greetings from Spain!

[@Kryto_Gaming]

What a great watch! It's especially interesting to me as I'm also trying to use the BVO style in ranked PvP. Without resources such as this one, it would be very hard to improve on my own. It's also very interesting to see the different variations on the build. For example, I prefer to use the Laser Dagger, and have Active Homing Missiles. It's probably less optimal than the builds these top rankers have, but it's fun for me to pilot. I probably wouldn't want to use the Plasma Thrower since I really like the patch allowing most melee weapons to que up after a switch.

[@os_r1ck]

Thanks for sharing and breaking down the thought process for each build.

[@hyperfixatedd]

Amazing job! I hope to see more lightweight and melee builds in general, they're so fun!

[@Ghent_Halcyon]

If you want melee builds, there is this one dude on KZbin, I forgot his name but he is extremely good.

[@hyperfixatedd]

@@Ghent_Halcyon well I myself run a beam saber+lesser dagger build, I just wanted to fight against other melee builds more often hehe

[@LeggyDogg]

this was an awesome video, really great seeing the insights of individual players on a build archetype. Realised I had some room to improve my own lightweight build :D

[@Valzack]

Wow this is great! Kudos on the theorycrafting and production value for this video.

[@MAGUS-666]

Thanks for all the super helpful info! I really appreciate this series in how it brings different perspectives, gameplay styles, strategies, and build inventiveness to the table. I found Meep’s Armored Core Garage also has a lot of insightful information on specific equipment, dodging, movement, and strategy. Perhaps an interview with them would make for a strong future video. Gotta go watch that stat video yall references now!

Helpful stuff guys! I was just about to pack in AC6 ranked as my lightweight build was beginning to suffer at mid B rank, but after swapping my arms and generator to the Basho and San Tai the build is sooooo much better. Not to mention I've put my slicer away because of the tank treads bug

[@jessewhite1679]

What the bug with tank treds?

[@jackgunnill7836]

​@@jessewhite1679 They don't get staggered properly by the melee combo, and slip out of it very early on leaving you with your pants down and them taking very little damage

[@RodneyRockwell]

Got my sub, first I’ve seen of your channel and I gdamn love this! Lot of youtube gets annoying and clickbaity and way too exaggerated, this is to the point, crisp, and great info ❤❤❤ Only question - the buerzel image, what’s up with the “multiplied by 16 to get thrust”? Like, there’s a range there, isn’t AB Thrust (the stat) only visible on the part itself as a whole number?

[@awayjam]

Awesome vid. Ive been getting destroyed on ranked xbox with my light build, I'm gonna try some of these parts ❤

[@larrymunn5279]

Might have to try this out I've been playing like a budget BVO without melee, Rifles and missiles. Only thing that really gave me a hard time was tanks cus it turns into a battle of attrition. I can kite them but kills take forever and it just wears me down/ups my odds of slipping up.

[@mrtencza]

What tips do you have for dealing with heavyweight builds with these lightweight builds?

[@MobiGeeksOut]

Honestly, Ramen and JC are just very good at dodging and knowing when to engage (such as counting opponent cool downs). There is no secret tech to deal with Heavyweights.

[@kylekelly4648]

I’ve been running this type of build for ever and been hitting great records in the arena. Didn’t know it was a club type thing lol

[@sh1zukaapple257]

I’ve use the Alula sense the day 1 when I got them. Haven’t change sense.

[@darkAwesome100]

izutsumi pfp, nice.

[@villain9111]

Good video, Ramen is most definitely deserving of the praise. He's always a good sport in the fightclubs I've encountered him in. And if you like these unorthodox leightweight builds, Mobi. You should definitely check out Mood. He has played the same two builds through every patch. Mood can offer indepth analysis of why he chose all the parts for his build, he'll also go into depth on how his tech works.

Here for a rewatch of peak AC build

[@life_is_gr8]

[@alexismiller4360]

these guys are awsome!

[@emanuelelamattina4264]

How about dealing with the tank recovery bug? And when stagger happens to a different height than yours?

[@MobiGeeksOut]

Ramen has been experimenting with the Chainsaw (plus a shotgun to extend stagger stun), which does not have the tank tread bug affect it. When it comes to height difference they just position themselves to be in the right angle and distance when they think they can stagger the opponent.

[@pout1385]

Its happening to all legs types

[@JD_Volt]

@@MobiGeeksOuton ACD, JC has been giving the chainsaw a shot. I hope he sticks with it.

[@OugiEin]

[@GunAinmNoAodann]

what is the racing game being shown at 9:14? the captions were apparently wrong.

[@MobiGeeksOut]

Ballistic NG!

[@XAfroWarriorX]

Ramen runs close to the same build I do, except I am running Nacht core and VP arms along with laser dagger and sweet sixteen on back (admittedly for style) I rely heavily on burst damage after stagger and can usually 1 cycle any other light or mid AC but I'll have to see how it performs in higher ranks. Heavies are a challenge lol Good to know I'm on the right track. LW builds are the most satisfying to play and I haven't been able to go back since I spent like 2 hrs lovingly crafting my AC

[@stormbreaker504]

Ngl I can’t wait till I get AC6 it seems fun asf specially pvp

[@shawnpeeples9411]

I'm curious to know if they're still running viento after 1.06 patch to be honest

[@MobiGeeksOut]

They are since other pistols were not buffed. Some are trying to move to etsujins.

[@Ju5t4l1z4rd]

With the recent patch, we may see the V in BVO change into something else with the Viento nerf making it harder to stagger.

[@zenzibar28]

Ive been playing around with this build a lot in pvp and its super fun. Ive had some issues with my second pulse blade attack not connecting though has anyone else had this happen?

Is that master duel music?

[@Formless_H]

When using this build, what should be done against missile/laser quads harassing you from heaven?

[@MobiGeeksOut]

You've got no choice but to chase and engage unless you have the life lead. The win condition for BVO builds is to stagger and land melee attacks.

[@xthewated]

[@jasonsuteja2455]

I'm wondering why are they not using ashmead as the punisher?

I believe it's because Ashmesd requires you to be horizontally level with the opponent and it's timing is stricter.

[@kaliduncanel3356]

Is this the meta for lightweights or are their other styles that work?

People are still figuring out the Meta but we do know this lightweight style was the only viable one before patch and is still the most popular lightweight style now.

[@Tekka579]

Everyone's a master of the BVO playstyle. It's a skilless playstyle.

[@Kaizuka-eg9fd]

How has the meta for lighrweights changed after the new parts, specifically the new core piece. Do the best players find it a viable addition to the bvo playstyle or is the alba core superior?

[@MobiGeeksOut]

Most people seem to stick with the Alba Core for now, but Ramen has been experimenting with the new core. But at the moment, it is not considered the optimal choice. Light Missile rats are eating good, as the new legs have 390 speed and outpace most builds easily.

[@jc_tek]

[@_tikho5220]

BVO-this, heavy tank-that, why can’t the middleweight AC’s get a portion of the limelight? I find it a little disheartening that the OG loadout from AC1; machine gun, laser blade, missiles and grenade cannon - is kinda useless in PVP. The instant that another player notices you’re performing decent with a middleweight, they’ll swap to a heavy tank or a tetra. Every single time.

[@SubjectX07]

While Rising Tide does look fantastic I will always be (With obvious bias) partial to the design I made for Ramen really early on for his original Steel Flow build. Godspeed you glorious bastard.

[@weir-t7y]

[@InTheMaarsh]

I feel like the more you learn about how to **TRULY** optimize for you AC &/Or Playstyle, you just develope like, Assembly-Schizophrenia. Being torn in between how to deal with each and every playstyle whilst, simultaneously. Trying to keep to how *you* play… I understand you now, V.I Freud… I Understand…

[@InAVanByTheRivr]

The game is in heavy need of nerfs in either directions extremes. Tanks need less stability, speed, and resistance. Vientos need to have half accumulative impact and 50% reload. Its too much impact per second. Ocellus also needs a close range nerf. Lamm legs need to burn more en if they are going to be that fast. Ps shield needs reduce deploys to 2 or 3. The pb shield needs a buff of 3 - 4 deploys. Zimmerman should have 3s reload instead of two. The best in slots are TOO best in slot in ac6
