I still suck at this game. Got slaughtered in some story mode mission. I think my solo/team rank is 11 or something. Still using the core I started with.
The starting core sucks so much ass its not even funny. You need to farm money for a bit to get parts. I think order mission 7 and 6 are particularly good for farming cash early. Just concentrate on not getting hit since repair costs are a bitch.
Finding your play style will help a ton, its like a fighting game in a way. Alex valle isn’t going to pick up Makoto in SSF4 AE and body people. Just like I can’t pick up a tank leg AC and put in work.
lol guess Im not that bad, Im at lvl 47.
The bold holds so much truth.
So is this game anything like the original ones? Because AC 4 pissed me off and I never played For Answer. Because I’m really leaning towards sellin off BF3 right now and usin the money for AC5 used copy. Battlefield games require too much of my hard drive. Everything that is absolutely necessary to play online single handedly takes up 5 GB right now. Gettin for xbox btw only console I have.
Yeah its a love letter to the older players, its nothing at all like 4 or 4A.
No more obscene speeds and dumbed down gameplay.
If you liked the old ones you have to own this game.
I wouldn’t say obscene speed is totally GONE, there’s just drawbacks to it now. The game is a hell of a lot less derpy than AC4 for the most part though, and has easily replaced Silent Line as my favorite. To me it feels like a really solid balance between the few good changes in AC4 and the overall better design of AC1-3.
So what was wrong with 4Answer?
I don’t speak for everyone, but: AC4 in the first place dumbed things down into a game of near infinite flight that just wasn’t Armored Core. 4A’s power creep just made everything much worse. Went from infinite flight to infinite OVERBOOST.
In the end the gameplay just boiled down to 2-4 guys flying around shooting rifles at each other with very little variety or strategy.

anyone know a good color mix, a chrome like color and a mix for the color gold?
Chrome isn’t really possible since the mirror-like reflectiveness is a defining trait of chrome, but you can do silver fine. I tend to use something near 50,30,100 HSV for silver. For gold, around 15,75,100 HSV somewhere. Just tweak them until they’re to your liking.
Does anyone have the “another moon/the different Moonlight Blade”?
Edit also what is the weapon used at the start of this video, the guy drops land mines or some thing and missiles begin to fire out of them.

Can we even get that here? It was a bonus with another game.
The other weapons are missile sentries.

Yeah this is hands down my favorite AC game by a long shot now, the online play is awesome and the balance feels so right.
Boost and quick boost speeds in 4 were pretty ridiculous when combined with the way maps were set up and how the game developed. AC5 just feels like a skill based game from top to bottom, good pilots will crush lesser ones 9 times out of 10 which I love.
Then again some builds are just stupid in this… light tank with auto cannons has been seen alot by me lately lol.
Thats the sentry gun that drops missile pods onto the battlefield and activate when an enemy comes too close.
Yea I was playing with them, dame their pretty heavy.
I really liked them at first, especially the 450 detection range missile sentries. Really nice for dueling with a sniper cannon; make sure one of your sentries is in your sights and watch the missiles while camping with your scope up. The missiles tell you which way your opponent is coming from well in advance, giving you lots of time to change positions.
I had to drop them though, because they have a habit of self destructing before setting up on me 9/10 times on certain maps / in games with more than 2 players for some reason. I seriously had one invasion mission where I fired off my entire stock and not a single one set up successfully. 
Yeah I heard about that from a friend, they say its a bug/glitch, best way to remedy it until it gets patched is to drop them on flat surfaces.
Also how do you purge weapons that aren’t out of ammo?
Hold Triangle and press L2 or R2.
Yeah the real buggy thing is they still can’t deploy even on flat surfaces a lot of the time. Like the rooftops in the desert map, you can land them dead center on the flat sections and they still blow up with nothing there to interfere. But the real killer is that from my experience, they fail more and more often the more players are in a game; I can get them set up consistently on most maps in a 1 on 1 match, but if we have 3 or more players, no matter what map we’re on or where I set them, they blow up on me at least half the time. 4 on 4 matches I can pretty much never set up even one and just purge it to get rid of the weight.
I’m in the mechaverse team now and its crazy how good these guys are, sadly the game is basically all about countering or running HRJ dual gats atm.
Sadly none of my builds are good for shit.
