Asmongold explains why Black Myth: Wukong is GOTY despite one big complaint Game Science/AsmongoldTwitch star Asmongold was blown away by Black Myth: Wukong and revealed why it deserves Game of the Year, even though he has one issue with it. Chinese developer Game Science’s Black Myth: Wukong has taken the world by storm, amassing over 2 million concurrent players, becoming Steam’s most-played single-player title ever. The Journey to the West-inspired action RPG has received glowing reviews since its release and Asmongold firmly believes it’s the current frontrunner for Game of the Year 2024. According to the streamer, the game is a 9/9.5 out of 10 for him, with the only reason it’s not a perfect score being that he wishes the game had more in the way of exploration. “I wish it had more open world exploration, because of how good the game is,” he said. “I feel dumb even saying that. The mechanics in this game are incredible, they are so well done. Each of the bosses is really well-designed. This is way better than what I had expected.” He continued, pondering what other game could potentially beat it for Game of the Year and determined that Black Myth: Wukong was the clear favorite. While his chat suggested Elden Ring’s Shadow of the Erdtree DLC could be a contender, Asmongold dismissed it, remarking how DLC never wins GOTY. “I think this is better than Stellar Blade,” he added. “If Stellar Blade is an 8, this is a 10. And I think Stellar Blade is a phenomenal game.” However, the Twitch star reiterated that he wishes the game offered more in the way of exploration and expressed hope that if it performs well, the devs will be empowered to make a bigger project on an even grander scale. “It’s so weird to see a game like this and to see how f**king amazing it is. And then compare it to other games that have been released, it’s like, what are they even doing? It’s insane.” Given how critical Asmon has been of the games industry this year, his praise for Black Myth: Wukong stands out, but we won’t know if his GOTY prediction comes true until December.

Asmongold breaks controller raging over Cuphead Asmongold, Studio MDHRPopular YouTube content creator Asmongold broke a controller out of frustration while streaming the notoriously difficult Cuphead. Originally released on PC and Xbox in late 2017, Studio MDHR’s Cuphead took the world by storm long before it hit digital storefronts. Cuphead’s vintage 1930s style of animation immediately drew the attention of the masses, though its unforgiving gameplay ensured many merely looked on from afar. As such, stories of frustrating gameplay sessions have grown in number over the years, increasing considerably whenever ports to other platforms invite new players to join the titular character and Mugman. Cuphead causes Asmongold to break his controller While streaming gameplay of Cuphead’s recently released Delicious Last Course DLC, popular YouTuber Asmongold broke his gamepad in rage. The streamer shared a snippet of the moment in question on Asmongold Clips, which depicts him succumbing to frustration during the DLC’s Chef Saltbaker boss battle. After being killed by one of Chef Saltbaker’s more devastating attacks, Asmongold pauses the game and slams the controller on his desk. When he brings the gamepad back into view, it’s clear to anyone watching that Cuphead-induced frustration claimed yet another controller. Anyone wondering whether or not the DLC maintained the core game’s level of difficulty need not wonder any longer. Obviously, Studio MDHR turned the heat up for this Delcious Last Course. After multiple delays, the Cuphead expansion launched late last month to predominantly favorable reviews across the board, with most agreeing it proved well worth the lengthy wait. But Asmongold breaking his controller during one of the Cuphead DLC’s boss fights suggests some players may want to regularly take breathers during play sessions. The likes of Chef Saltbaker could give rise to a fair bit of rage.

Asmongold doubts Bobby Kotick’s departure will change anything at Activision Eurogamer & Game RantAsmongold spoke about the recent departure of Bobby Kotick from Activision during a livestream to share his thoughts about the situation. Bobby Kotick first became the CEO of Activision (formerly Mediagenic) in 1991, and served this role until the end of this past year. The past few years, however, were mired in controversy, starting in 2021 when California sued the company for creating a culture of sexual harassment. His departure from the company is being celebrated among players, and now Asmongold has shared his thoughts about the future of Activision and its games. Asmongold doubts anything will change after Bobby Kotick leaves Activision During a recent livestream, Asmongold was scrolling through his subreddit when he came across a tweet from a senior designer for World of Warcraft, who did not have kind words for Kotick. Calling the former CEO a “pathetic ghoul,” the designer went on to say: “Waste the millions you didn’t earn from people whose talent and light you will never understand.” Asmongold, though finding this tweet humorous, did have a response to it about what is going to happen with Activision – and he isn’t very optimistic. “Point is, yeah, a lot of people are very happy that Bobby Kotick is gone,” he explained, “In my opinion, by the way, I don’t think that Bobby Kotick leaving is going to have any impact on us, as players. I just don’t really think so.” He claimed that Kotick is a “great villain,” as in a perfect person for people to put the blame on for the state of Activision Blizzard games. Asmongold, though, argued that Kotick very likely had no idea or clue about how the games were being made. He asserts that the developers are still going to make their games in the same way. He explained, “The reason why people stopped playing games wasn’t because of the sexual harassment lawsuit. It’s because the game sucked.” Some of Asmongold’s viewers offered the rebuttal that Kotick was the one who created the culture that not only allowed the harassment, but that also created these design processes and ideas. Asmongold acknowledged this and agreed, while also saying that he hopes he is wrong about his prediction. Players will have to wait and see what changes – if any – come to Activision with Kotick leaving and the company now being owned by Microsoft and Xbox.

Asmongold concerned Star Wars Outlaws’ price is setting a “new low” for games YouTube/Asmongold/UbisoftPopular Twitch streamer Asmongold has weighed in on the controversy surrounding Ubisoft’s upcoming game, Star Wars Outlaws and its massive price tag. Ubisoft unveiled $110 and $130 editions of Star Wars Outlaws in a new trailer and the gaming community has been less than enthusiastic about the situation. In a recent broadcast, Asmongold shared his opinion about the game, explaining that while he would rather have Star Wars games where players take control of a Jedi, Outlaws’ expensive editions are a completely different problem. “What the hell is a season pass?!” he remarked as he checked out the numerous editions of the game. “They’re paywalling. Even if you pay $70, you don’t even get all the content.” (segment begins at 9:55) “You buy the game and there is a mission in the game that is artificially locked, because you only paid $70. Oh my God. Look at the price difference here. $70 vs $110 – what’s the difference here? 40 f**king dollars. That is insane. $40 just to play the game early and have an extra mission and a cosmetic!” The OTK streamer further suggested that Ubisoft was using high prices to get customers to subscribe to Ubisoft Plus instead. “This is one of the worst pricing themes I have ever seen. You have day one DLC paywalled by $40,” he slammed. “Guys, single-player early access pre-order day one DLC. Over $100. This is a new low until they release the game after this.” Given we’re still a few months out from release, Ubisoft still has time to adjust its pricing model for Star Wars Outlaws prior to August 30, 2024, as potential players are already holding off buying it over the cost. However, if you’re in the market for a new CPU, Intel is throwing in a free copy of Star Wars Outlaws with its 14th gen CPU.

Asmongold claims no MMO has ever nailed the PVP experience Blizzard / Twitch: AsmongoldAsmongold claims no MMO, including leading titles like World of Warcraft and FFXIV, has ever truly nailed the PVP experience and admitted he looks elsewhere to get his competitive fix. MMOs typically have something for everyone, whether it’s an immersive role-playing experience with a challenging player-versus-environment storyline, an in-depth crafting and profession system, or a thriving community to be involved in. However, for some players, the biggest kick comes out of the player-versus-player experience, which can happen via arenas, battlegrounds, and on some servers, anywhere throughout the world while traveling around. Asmon isn’t one of those players, though. It’s not because he doesn’t enjoy it. It’s because he doesn’t believe any game on the market has gotten it right, so he prefers scratching his competitive itch elsewhere. “If I’m looking for a PvP experience, I play a PvP game,” he said during a recent stream. Although he’s primarily known for playing MMOs and RPGs while live, Asmon has dabbled in competitive shooters like Overwatch and Fortnite. It’s not like he doesn’t think MMOs are a good fit for PVP. He just thinks nobody has done it right. “I don’t want to go and play some busted ass MMO PvP that’s never balanced right. It’s always f**ked up, and it’s always an afterthought.” Balance concerns aren’t new. It’s something various MMO communities have complained about for years, and while the meta has ebbed and flowed throughout that time, balancing issues have been rather constant. It’s not all doom and gloom for everyone, though. Some MMO players relish the PvP experiences they have, and the fact it ties into other aspects of the game to break things up is a huge win when it comes to versatility.

Asmongold claims The First Descendant is “pay-to-win” AsmongoldThe First Descendant is finally live and popular Twitch Streamer, Asmongold, has given his first impressions on the new looter shooter. Asmongold has been busy delving into The First Descendant, the latest looter shooter that aims to rival the likes of Warframe and Destiny 2. Despite the game receiving performance issues on PS5 and mixed reviews, it has overtaken Elden Ring as the top-selling game on Steam. The First Descendant recently reached 229k concurrent players on Valve’s platform, which is expected to rise even further. One player who has been delving into the action is Asmongold, who has given his early impressions on Nexon’s looter shooter. “Game’s pretty good, I’ve enjoyed it so far. It’s a free game that has pay-to-win features, so if you think that is garbage then definitely don’t play the game. Is the pay-to-win extreme? I can’t give an answer to that right now, but you can get ultimate characters and upgrade materials” explained Asmongold. Despite this, the streamer seemed pretty positive and revealed that he aims to continue playing both on and off-stream in the future. As for the game’s longevity, Asmongold did note that there are a lot of new titles on the horizon – mainly that of Zenless Zone Zero and Once Human. Timestamp of 3:22:29 ZZZ releases July 4 and is the latest free-to-play gacha game from the makers behind Genshin Impact, while the post-apocalyptic MMO Once Human releases July 9. “I enjoyed Once Human more, but it doesn’t mean The First Descendant is bad. I don’t have a rating for the experience that I had, but it was a fun game to play and it was entertaining for a while.” If you do plan on giving The First Descendant a go, be sure to pick the best starter character to get the strongest headstart. If you have progressed through the story and want to know how to unlock Bunny and Gley, then our guides will give you all the information you need.

Asmongold changes his mind on Monster Hunter World after years of dismissal Capcom/Twitch: zackrawrrAsmongold’s Monster Hunter World streams have been popping off after he finally got around to a playthrough. Despite some initial misgivings about the game, he’s quickly becoming a fan. Players are Returning to Monster Hunter World in droves thanks to a concerted effort from Capcom and growing hype for the recently announced follow-up Monster Hunter Wilds. The #ReturnToWorld phenomenon has seen the game reach a three-year peak in concurrent players topping out at 162,404 more than six years after its release. Thanks to the push from Capcom and the game’s loyal fanbase, Monster Hunter World is ensnaring a bunch of new players, none more prominent than Asmongold. After years of fans and collaborators begging him to stream the game, #ReturnToWorld and the promise of a sequel finally caught Asmongold’s attention. The streamer has put in a total of eight sessions and finally cleared the base game of Monster Hunter World in the seventh. In a VOD uploaded to his Asmongold TV YouTube channel, the streamer reflected on his time with the game. Asmongold gives his verdict on Monster Hunter World During his streams, Asmongold displayed some tremendous skill for a newcomer to the Monster Hunter franchise and finally understands the hype. “I feel like the game was very good,” Asmongold explained to his audience. “It was a lot better than I expected.” The streamer had previously dismissed the Monster Hunter World after gameplay footage he watched appeared “janky” and “looked like s**t”. “I was expecting to have a lot of problems with the game. The truth is once I played it, it didn’t feel janky at all,” he admitted. Asmongold’s reflection wasn’t entirely positive of course. He called Monster Hunter World’s UI “garbage” but did concede that once he figured it out, its obtuse mechanics were “not really a big deal”. The streamer bestowed the honor of the game’s hardest encounter on its flagship monster Nergigante but also claimed that it was “the most well-designed”. Despite the difficulty, Asmongold was able to slay Nergigante on his first try using a Greatsword which impressed many franchise veterans watching the stream. The game definitely seems to have its hooks in Asmongold. He’s been reacting to Monster Hunter World content at the behest of fans and even grinding for materials off stream. His journey isn’t over either as he now contends with Master Rank hunts. The streamer has already begun working on the game’s Iceborne expansion with the aim of finishing its story

Ashes of Creation: Platforms, trailers, reactive world & everything we know Intrepid StudiosAshes of Creation has been on the cards for a while, but as we draw closer to launch more details are slipping through the cracks. Here’s everything we know about the upcoming MMORPG experience. Ashes of Creation is an upcoming high fantasy MMORPG built with a world that reacts to the player’s actions and decisions. Beginning with a pre-alpha phase back in December 2017, the title has been in the works for a while, becoming one of the most anticipated MMORPGs. However, while there’s been fragmented information regarding the game lurking around the internet, pivotal data has been under lock and key. Here’s everything we know about Ashes of Creation. Contents What is the release date for Ashes of Creation? – Platforms – Trailers – Character Customization – Reactive World – Is there a release date for Ashes of Creation? The game is currently in its early Alpha-1 phase with intermittent spot testing, but the actual release for the MMO has yet to be announced. The game had an original release date of 2020 but had to rethink its release schedule once the team was “computed with the nine-month delay to restart their server backend from scratch.” Intrepid said they were still “touching up features and textures” en route to Alpha 2 – for which Intrepid has yet to announce an official date. Platforms As of right now, Ashes of Creation will release on PC only with no plans for Xbox or Playstation integration. As the game progresses, there is always a chance that the developers may give thought to other platforms for the MMO to live on, but with the team wanting only to give answers, they’re 100% sure on; Ashes of Creation is PC only as of April 1, 2022. Trailers Environment footage The first official trailer for Ashes of Creation, as per their YouTube channel, dated back five years ago and detailed the game’s environment. Showing off the Riverlands, Jungle, Forest, and Snowy Mountains, to name a few of the approximate 18 biomes in the game, the Environment trailer helped immerse fans into the world of Ashes of Creation. Intrepid Studios released an updated look at the biomes, specifically the tropical biome, in 4K to look into how much progress has been made. Gameplay footage In a trailer providing insight into the game’s updated gameplay, a live stream was held to discuss the evolution of the game’s mechanics. Showing off the refined melee combat and allowing complete control of the character as they attack. Character Creation footage On March 31, 2022, Intrepid Studios dropped off their latest update video focusing on the game’s character creation. Now appearing in 4K, the character creation footage shows off various races in the game alongside high-resolution textures that make great use of Unreal Engine 5. Character Customization Ashes of Creation boasts a robust character creation system that allows players to be as imaginative or as realistic as possible with their characters. AoC fans will be able to control a multitude of sliders and shaders that allow control over everything from chest size to strains of hair in your beard. In addition, the game has many races to choose from, including the much-loved Vek. Featuring a mechanic called blending, players will be able to select from a couple of presets you have, take specific features, and add those to your character. So, for example, if you wanted to create a family of NPCs that looked alike, you would be able to drag and drop certain features of the characters onto others to make them look similar. Reactive World As players make decisions and progress within the world of AoC, the world will react accordingly. Community Marketing Lead for Intrepid Studios described the reactive world feature as “evolving based on player activity,” saying, “Ashes of Creation will be a living, breathing, reactive world. Your actions will shape the Zones of Influence, leveling Nodes to form massive Cities, and create the story of the world that everyone experiences.” The decisions of your playthrough will impact everything from the economy, player businesses, artisan classes, world bosses, and even naval combat. So, in short, that is everything that we know so far about Ashes of Creation.

Asmongold blasts MMO devs for “handicapping” players as New World plans leak Twitch: AsmongoldIn the wake of his extensive criticism of Amazon Game Studio’s new ‘New World’ project, Twitch streamer Asmongold has expressed real concern over the future of the MMO genre. When Asmongold has an issue with something, it’s safe to say he doesn’t miss and hit the wall with his points. The Twitch streamer has garnered a fearsome reputation over the years and has even taken on Blizzard themselves over the future of their iconic titles, World of Warcraft and WoW Classic. Next on the list, though, is Amazon Game Studio’s flagship MMO, New World. Asmongold really isn’t a fan. Asmongold slams New World In a Twitlonger entitled “New World, same s**t,” the streamer delves into much more detail that we’ve seen previously on-stream. If you thought his words on camera were harsh, then boy you better strap yourselves in. His main complaint about the title is the concept of microtransactions. These in-game expenditures plan to include everything from XP and Level boosts to fancier gear for your character. Writing that purchasable content “shouldn’t be anywhere NEAR the launch or even within 6 months of release, more like an entire year,” he continues that if “Amazon Game Studios wants to make a real game they can’t design it with artificial roadblocks.” Read More: WoW Chains of Domination release date – Slamming the decision, he states: “Planning boosts before release isn’t good enough and you know it. That’s why you hid it behind an NDA. That’s why when you tried justifying it on social media you got ratioed into oblivion to the point you had to change your social media strategy into just saying thank you for the feedback. “Here is my feedback”, he concludes. “If you put out a game that’s designed on release to be in managed decline, I’m not going to play it. I’ve been waiting years for a game that’s worthy of wasting my life on again which is precisely why I say this. I won’t do the remnants of our neglected community the disservice of playing and promoting dogs**t.” Concerns for future MMOs It’s not just New World that he’s sceptical about, though, it’s the future of the MMO genre. With microtransactions becoming commonplace within the genre’s staple games, he says: “We really just can’t catch a break, can we?” “Every time a company gets away with this, handicapping players and then selling them solutions becomes further normalized in gaming.” Read More: How to get Valor Points in WoW Shadowlands – Both Asmongold and the wider community have made it known that they are sick of microtransactions, and their inclusion will deter players entirely. It will be interesting to see if Amazon Game Studios adapt their design to veer away from them. To borrow Asmongold’s words, “New World stands on a razor’s edge,” but for some, it appears the future of MMOs does too.

As Dusk Falls review: Interactive crime thriller packs a powerful punch Interior NightAs Dusk Falls is a narrative-driven crime drama that spans three decades but does it deliver the goods? Here’s what we thought after multiple playthroughs. Narrative-driven games that are more like interactive movies are becoming a big deal at the moment. Supermassive’s horror games are going from strength to strength with The Quarry and the Dark Pictures Anthology, and Quantic Dream continues to put out thought-provoking experiences like Detroit: Become Human. As Dusk Falls is a lot like these games, while also putting its own spin on the genre. Interior Night, a developer that contains some former Quantic Dream employees makes its debut with As Dusk Falls. The game plays a lot like previous interactive movies, but with a new and distinct art style that really gives As Dusk Falls its own identity. As Dusk Falls key details Price: £24.99/$29.99 – Developer: Interior Night – Release Date: July 19, 2022 – Platforms: Xbox Game Pass, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC – As Dusk Falls Trailer A playable graphic novel Rather than being a fully motion-captured experience, such as games like The Quarry or Detroit, As Dusk Falls looks like it fell from the pages of a graphic novel, with every few frames appearing as a singular still before gliding to the next. It gives the impression of pages turning or your eyes moving to the next box in a comic strip. It’s a bit jarring at first, but you’ll soon get used to it, and even learn to appreciate it before long. Every still is brimming with detail and is beautifully animated, with each getting across everything it needs to when it comes to the situation, the character’s emotions, and potential danger. This is fortunate, as you’re going to need to pay attention if your favorite characters are to survive the story. And let’s be honest, that’s what these narrative-driven games are all about; the story. As Dusk Falls features two families on a collision course with the fates of many of them up in the air, and in the hands of the player. After their first meeting, the lives of everyone involved become forever intertwined, and As Dusk Falls can be a story about forgiveness and redemption, or one about bloody murder and vengeance. It all depends on the choices that are made. When two tribes go to war The first family in this story is the likable Walkers, a loving family who are moving to a new city for a fresh start. There’s tension between them, but ultimately, every member of the Walker family wants to move on and rebuild from mistakes in their past. However, it soon becomes clear that one member of the family may have a connection to Two Rock, the town the events all transpire in, which may or may not become important later. The second group is the Holts, a rural family with three sons, an abusive alcoholic father, and a lot of debt. While the Holt family has made a lot of bad choices, they aren’t completely unsympathetic. However, their attempts to turn their fortunes around turn deadly after a botched burglary leads to a hostage situation at a motel where the Walkers happen to be staying. For the first half of the game or ‘Book One’, we take control of Vince Walker, a typical family man who’s desperate to get his wife, daughter, and estranged but terminally ill father out of harm’s way. We also control Jay Holt, the sensitive, kind, and well-meaning member of the three Holt brothers, who wants to save his own family, but also to make sure they don’t hurt the Walkers, themselves, or anyone else. However, despite both men having the best of intentions, danger lurks everywhere and the hostage situation can end in a sea of corpses, although it’s also possible to get everyone out safely. Choices are everything and every action has a consequence that may not just impact who survives the night, but how their lives play out in Book 2. This is set after the hostage situation – and will involve whoever’s left alive. Multiple playthroughs reveal more secrets We played the game multiple times with each playthrough taking around 5-6 hours. Our first playthrough was blind and we got a custom ending based on our choices. In our second playthrough, with the benefit of hindsight, we made an effort to save everyone but were then shocked by other events that we didn’t see the first time around. In our third playthrough, we simply did the opposite of everything we had done before – and were blown away by some of the revelations the game had hidden from us. As Dusk Falls is a game that benefits from multiple playthroughs, as you’re only going to see the tip of the iceberg in one, and there’s a whole lot of story and secrets submerged beneath the surface. The game is much deeper than we realized even after playing it through several times, we look forward to seeing what other plot elements different players will unearth. Sliding doors While the game’s butterfly effect style works well, there are some cheap moments now and then that we felt undermined our efforts. For example, we worked hard to save one character, passing multiple quick time events, surviving gunfire, and epic encounters with their nemesis, only for one choice to end up being the wrong one, and for that character to die in the most anti-climactic way ever. This was frustrating, but it’s mainly because at first, it’s easy to keep characters alive, but as Book 1 hurtles towards its dramatic conclusion, shock deaths become much more likely. This should serve as a warning for those choosing to play the game with friends. While the random nature of up to 8-player co-op is fun, it limits the control you have over the narrative, essentially becoming a free-for-all, but it’s worth doing to see where it all ends up. Book 2 of As Dusk Falls is very different from Book 1, and how it plays out largely depends on what went down at the motel. Yet, no matter what way we approached it, we never found the aftermath as exciting or engaging as the dramatic event itself. So, it will be interesting to see where any possible DLC allows us to take the story. Verdict: 8.5/10 As Dusk Falls is a stellar first attempt from Interior Night and a must-play for those who enjoy interactive narrative games like The Quarry, Heavy Rain, and Detroit: Become Human. In many ways, the game feels like a playable season of Fargo and even channels other gritty crime dramas like Breaking Bad at times. Essentially, it’s a playable binge drama, but one that can be enjoyed time and time again, with different endings and twists, depending on your choices. As Dusk Falls will make you hurt, and it will make you cry, but it won’t let you down. Reviewed on Xbox Series S

Artists slam Duke Nukem 1+2 Remaster art & claim it’s “AI generated” Evercade | TwitterFans of the long-dormant Duke Nukem series were elated to see a remaster of the first 2 games getting announced, but that excitement has been dampened by people calling out the game’s key art for being “AI generated”. AI has been rapidly developing as of late, getting implemented in an increasing number of ways for people to generate images and text by feeding certain AI programs a prompt to work from. AI art has become just as controversial as it has been prominent, and people are increasingly wary of AI-generated images replacing the work of real artists. When the promotional art for the Duke Nukem 1 + 2 Remasters released, the joy of many fans was traded out for disdain, with many claiming that the art wasn’t created by an actual artist. To prove their point, several artists put together a detailed analysis of the image to try and explain why they think the artist that was hired didn’t do all his work by hand. Duke Nukem 1+2 Remaster under fire for “AI generated” art When AI art first started taking the internet by storm, it was pretty easy to discern what was and wasn’t real. Though some images were more convincing than others, things like hands, facial expressions, and other small details didn’t quite line up with what a human artist would produce. However, as the technology rapidly advances, it’s getting harder and harder to tell the difference. For instance, the cover art for a book by the name of Bob the Wizard was exposed as being AI generated after it won a cover art contest, with the author of the book now working with a different artist to replace it. Now, Duke Nukem fans and artists are calling out Oskar Manuel, claiming that he used AI to generate the cover for the Duke Nukem 1+2 Remaster under the nose of Evercade, the company promoting the remaster. It hasn’t been confirmed by the artist or Evercade whether or not Manuel used AI in the production of art for the title, but several artists and gamers have swarmed the account, claiming that art from Manuel’s portfolio seems to be AI-generated. One artist went out of their way to mark the places in which they think the art most clearly shows its faults and other examples of art from Manuel’s portfolio that includes things like clocks with no hands and characters with 6 fingers. Neither Evercade nor Manuel have commented further on the matter at the time of writing, and the story is still developing.

Artist claims Sonic Origins Plus devs stole their work without giving credit SEGAAn artist has claimed that Sonic Team, the developers behind Sonic Origins Plus, stole their model of Amy Rose and left them uncredited. Sonic fans likely remember Sonic Origin’s reveal in 2022, thanks to the controversy surrounding the game’s Standard Edition and its use of DLC. Now that Sonic Origins has been out for a year, it is receiving a new version called Sonic Origins Plus. The multi-game collection adds even more content like a playable Amy Rose. Following the expanded version’s release, an artist with work under DC Comics, Archie Comics, and even SEGA themselves, has insisted that Sonic Team used their model for Amy Rose in Sonic Origins Plus without giving them proper credit. Artist claims they were uncredited in Sonic Origins Plus The claim came from artist RafaKnight on Twitter, who tweeted a GIF of two Amy Rose models swapping. They said, “So, here is the Amy model ripped from Sonic Origins Plus. And the one I have made in 2016. And no, I didn’t [get] credited for it at all.” While there are a handful of subtle differences between the models, such as Amy’s hair, lighting, and overall smoothness, the two models are incredibly similar. Most notably, the geometry used for the model is nearly identical. RafaKnight went into further detail in follow-up tweets and confirmed that they were not listed in the game’s credits “for people behind the 3D assets,” or anywhere else. Moreover, the artist claimed that they believe this very same model will be used for the upcoming game Sonic Superstars. Sega had previously announced the title during the 2023 Summer Game Fest event. RafaKnight noticed this during the reveal event, with Sonic the Hedgehog’s social media manager even reaching out on Twitter to touch base on the claim. Unfortunately, it seems no communication ever actually took place. The artist put forward an explanation when asked if this could be a coincidence: “Company wants to get rid of an artist but they want to reuse the work. So they hire another artist to make it all from scratch, but it ends up being an impossible [exact] replica of the original by some mystical mistake.” At the time of writing, SEGA has not made any official comment on the matter.

Arsenal star Mesut Ozil removed from PES 2020 after anti-China comments Arsenal’s Mesut Özil has been removed from Chinese versions of Pro Evolution Soccer 2020, following the Premier League star’s outspoken stance regarding Uighur Muslims reportedly being kept in prison camps in Xinjiang. The 31-year-old, who rarely uses Twitter and other social media during the Premier League season, posted an image of the former East Turkestan republic flag with a message calling Uighurs in China “warriors who resist persecution.” “[In China] Qurans are burned, mosques were closed down, Islamic theological schools, madrasas were banned, religious scholars were killed one by one. Despite all this, Muslims stay quiet,” he said on December 13, as translated by The Guardian. Following the comment, several Chinese fan sites announced they will stop posting football news relating to Özil, according to the Chinese press, while a Chinese simulation game stopped the production of Özil player cards after the news. Now, the star has also been removed from Pro Evolution Soccer’s Chinese releases by eastern publisher NetEase, who said Özil’s comments “hurt the feelings of Chinese fans and violated the sport’s spirit of love and peace.” “The German player Özil posted an extreme statement about China on social media… we do not understand, accept, or forgive this,” NetEase said. China’s foreign ministry also weighed in on Özil’s comments, suggesting the German-Turkish player had been “deceived by fake news,” while many comments on Weibo—China’s main social media platform—call for the 31-year-old to be sacked. “Do you know how Arsenal fans in China have spent the last two days?” one self-declared former Arsenal supporter posted on the forum. “They are struggling to understand how the club and idol they once loved has turned out to be a rumourmonger. Of course, if you intend to attack China, you are as insignificant in our hearts as dirty ants.” As well as Özil’s removal from the football simulator, Chinese state television channels also pulled screenings of Arsenal’s most recent Premier League match against England’s defending champions Manchester City. The removal of the league’s matchday 17 clash comes after most references to Özil at all were removed from the internet in China, basically erasing the German star from existence for those accessing online information in the country. This isn’t the first time Chinese investors have strong-armed game developers after public comments speaking out against the country’s current regime either. Earlier this year, Hearthstone pro Chung ‘Blitzchung’ Ng Wai was banned from the game’s professional circuit and docked his season’s winnings after he called for the liberation of Hong Kong during the GrandMasters tournament. The backlash against Hearthstone publishers Blizzard from the online community was immediate and swift. Other pro players across titles like Overwatch threatened to boycott the company, while fans started the #BlizzardBoycott hashtag. The ban, and Blizzard’s much-criticized non-response to the whole situation, even drew the eye of several US Representatives and members of Congress, who penned a bipartisan letter to Activision Blizzard condemning their actions. While Blizzard eventually reinstated Blitzchung’s prize money, and reduced his hefty ban from the circuit to just six months, it doesn’t look like there are any plans for Özil to return to the 2020 release of PES, especially considering it’s China only. PES fans should keep their eyes on the news, however. If NetEase wants to put pressure on Konami to bump Özil from the game, the 31-year-old midfielder may find himself disappearing from the world of PES entirely.

Armored Core 6: Will Patches “The Good Luck” return? FromSoftwarePatches is one of the most controversial characters in From Software’s games, but will the sneaky thief/mercenary return in Armored Core 6? From Software has become a huge deal since they last made an Armored Core game. The Souls series, Elden Ring, and Sekiro all helped put the developer on the map and establish them as one of the most celebrated game creators in the industry. Part of their appeal is how they reuse certain characters and items as a nod to the fans who enjoy their expanding multiverse of games. Patches, or Trusty Patches, the Hyena, the Untethered, or Unbreakable Patches is a reoccurring character, voiced by Will Vanderpuye, in the Souls games who usually tries to swindle the player, before allying with them. Patches has appeared in Demon’s Souls, Dark Souls 1 and 3, Bloodborne, and Elden Ring, often providing comic relief, or as in the case of Dark Souls 3, serving a much more meaningful purpose. Is Patches in AC6? Alas, Patches is not in Armored Core 6 and neither is his voice actor William Vanderpuye, which may be a disappointment to some From Software fans. However, the role of the cowardly and treacherous character in AC6 goes to Swineburne, voiced by Johnny Yong Bosch. The NPC is clearly a nod to patches, but sadly, not the multiverse-spanning conman himself. Patches in previous Armored Core games What many From Software fans may not know is that Patches (or just Patch in this case) “The Good Luck” made his debut in Armored Core: For Answer in 2008, a whole year before his role in Demon’s Souls would create the version of the character that is still used today, most recently in Elden Ring. In Armored Core: For Answer, Patch was a mercenary who shared many character traits with his Souls game counterpart but was played by a different voice actor. However, a version of the Moonlight Sword from the Souls games has appeared in Armored Core 6, so some references from Souls did make it in.

Armored Core 6 smashes Souls to become FromSoftware’s second-biggest PC launch FromSoftwareArmored Core 6 Fires of Rubicon Assault Boosted its way into the hands of gamers worldwide on August 25. The game has had a stellar opening weekend on PC beating out every Souls title and Sekiro in peak concurrent players. Armored Core 6’s brand of fast-paced mech action is a bit of a departure from the dark-fantasy RPGs that FromSoftware has peddled to players over the last decade. Still, the satisfying combat, punishing but fair difficulty, and immense joy in overcoming its many challenges bear all the DNA that fans of the developer have come to love. It’s already being touted as one of the hardest FromSoftware titles to date with many players being walled off by Armored Core 6’s tutorial boss. Players have even been smashing controllers in frustration at the game’s steep learning curve. Despite that, Armored Core 6 has captivated 156,171 concurrent players in its opening weekend alone according to Steam database. While it hasn’t been able to overcome the prolific success of Elden Ring, it’s beaten out every other FromSoft release on PC to take second place in the developer’s stacked catalog. Breaking down the success of Armored Core 6 Armored Core 6 has blown past the peak concurrent player count of other recent FromSoftware titles on PC like Sekiro (125,315) and Dark Souls 3 (129,975). It’s likely that the success of Elden Ring has had something to do with this. Elden Ring is currently the sixth most popular title on Steam of all time according to their own concurrent player count measurements. Capturing a massive 953,426 players at its all-time peak, the iconic game introduced the wider gaming community to FromSoftware’s design philosophy. Armored Core 6 being the first title from the developer since Elden Ring certainly brought the game a lot of attention. If review scores are anything to go by, FromSoft has definitely proved themselves more than a one-trick pony. The dedicated fan community of previous Armored Core titles shouldn’t be discounted in the newest entry’s success either. While Fires of Rubicon is the sixth numbered installment in the franchise, veterans of the series have been waiting more than a decade for a new Armored Core and certainly showed up for this one. Not every fan of the franchise is content with the newest Armored Core of course. Some long-time fans of the series have accused the developer of lying about the game’s similarity to ‘Soulsborne’ games in the lead-up to release, going as far as to call it “Armored Souls”. Despite that, an overwhelming number of players are quite taken with Armored Core 6 and the game’s unparalleled customization suite. Players have been crafting and sharing their bizarre mechs inspired by gaming icons like the Minecraft Creeper and Pepsi Man among others.

Armored Core 6 Story: Setting, characters, endings, more FromSoftware/Bandai NamcoThe latest entry in the Armored Core franchise, Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon is out now, and we’ve got details about the game’s story and lore. Here’s what we know about the newest FromSoftware title so far. Armored Core 6 is a FromSoftware game. A company that is notorious for its deeply complex but woefully obscure storytelling style. Whole fan communities have emerged dedicated to unmasking the smallest narrative details in other titles like Bloodborne and Elden Ring. It’s safe to say that Armored Core 6’s story functions slightly differently from the developer’s recent games given its mission-based structure. The lack of a traditional inventory, where FromSoftware commonly uses item descriptions to flesh out their world has an impact as well. Still, FromSoftware President Hidetaka Miyazaki has promised that Armored Core 6 will bring “the heavy combat, the air of mystery, the exploration and sense of darkness” their fans are accustomed to. Here’s you need to know about the franchise reset. Contents: Armored Core 6’s setting Armored Core 6 takes place in a similarly far-flung future to the other titles in the franchise, where interstellar travel is key to the setting. The advent of long-distance traversal of space means players find themselves in an entirely different star system from our own on the planet Rubicon 3. Commonly referred to as just Rubicon, footage of the mission areas and enemies makes it clear that this is a planet solely dedicated to mining. The resource they mine is known as Coral and a number of ruthless corporations wage war against each other and the inhabitants of Rubicon over its control. It has been vaguely described as a substance that boosts communications technologies but is also used as a narcotic. Coral is used to link pilots to the Mechs they fight in called Armored Cores. You play as a mercenary hired by these corporations to help in their bids to control the flow of Coral on Rubicon. Armored Core 6 characters Like many FromSoftware titles, a cast of suitably grim characters fleshes out the story of Armored Core 6. Voice acting and dialogue shown off in previews and trailers looks promising. Here’s a list of characters in Armored Core 6: Independent Mercenary 621: Raven The player character of Armored Core 6 is a pilot-for-hire referred to as 621. They are an augmented human indebted to the corporations that rule this dark future. Their only known objective is to “buy their life back.” In an early mission, they are tasked with looting a license to operate on Rubicon from a downed Armored Core. 621 finds a license and assumes the call sign Raven from the former pilot of a ruined mech. Longtime fans of the franchise will know its significance. Handler Walter As his title suggests, Walter is the overseer of your missions, providing you with intel and directives. 621’s relationship to him seems to be one of complete subservience. You are commonly called one of “Walters dogs” by the denizens of Rubicon. He is a gruff and dispassionate man who walks using a cane despite the superior healing technology available in the world of Armored Core 6. He seems universally despised by anybody who mentions him in the available footage from the game. Sulia Sulia is another independent mercenary who pilots his own Armored Core. 621 faces off against him in an early fight and it’s revealed he bears a grudge against Handler Walter. He claims to have slain countless pilots that were in Walter’s employ and also refers to them as Walter’s dogs. It’s unclear what his allegiances are in the resource war on Rubicon but he is dead set against Walter and his allies. Rusty Rusty is an Armored Core pilot in the sole employ of the Arquebus Corporation. Like 621, he is also an augmented human. He assists you with an early game mission and the subsequent boss fight. He is cordial and even treats 621 with a modicum of compassion compared to other characters shown so far. This may be due to his kinship with 621 as a fellow augmented human which appears to be a maligned trait in the universe of Armored Core. Armored Core 6 Factions All of the characters in Armored Core 6 appear to owe their allegiance to some larger entity. Whether it is one of the game’s many corporate bodies or the resistance movement of Rubicon’s inhabitants. These are the ones that have been fleshed out so far: Arquebus Corp One of two major corporations you’ll spend your time working for in the game’s first act. They task 621 with breaching the defenses of local resistance fighters. Most corporations featured in the game will make parts for your Armored Core. Each of them will have a distinct aesthetic and combat focus. This corporation builds laser and energy weapons that require Coral for production. Balam The second of the corporations that players will work with during the early portion of the game. They employ their own private military known as the Red Guns. You work alongside two of these Red Guns in a story mission and they are arrogant and confrontational. Balam is focused on “material superiority” and seeks full control of Rubicon’s Coral output. Their pilots were briefly aligned with Arquebus Corp’s as the two engaged in skirmishes with a common enemy. Rubiconian Liberation Front The Rubiconian Liberation Front is positioned as antagonists and the primary opposition in the game’s opening chapter. They are an anti-corporate faction that venerates the planet Rubicon and the Coral found there. They have their own Armored Core pilots that players will face off against throughout the game. The Armored Core franchise has a history of pitting players against sympathetic groups at the behest of murderous conglomerates. Coral Tweakers The Coral found on Rubicon is not only a precious resource used for the development of advanced technology but a powerful and addictive narcotic. Certain inhabitants of the planet have become what characters refer to as Tweakers. These groups are controlled by a group of individuals who are one part drug kingpin, one part warlord. They aggressively defend deposits of Coral to keep their supplies out of the hands of the corporations. Armored Core 6’s endings Armored Core 6’s narrative unfolds across a series of self-contained missions, some of which have greater implications for the main story. Developers have confirmed that the game will have multiple endings based on 621’s allegiance. You form an allegiance by completing certain special missions for the game’s many factions, corporate or otherwise. Endings for a first playthrough are somewhat limited. A New Game+ feature is also included which will open up more missions than the initial playthrough. Participating in certain missions will eliminate the option to do others and lock players onto a pathway toward one of the many endings. That’s all the information currently available about how the story of Armored Core 6 will unfold and the ways that players can engage with it. As more details are made available, we will update this article with anything pertinent. That’s everything we know about the story of Armored Core 6 so far!

Armored Core 6 PVP player punches their way to victory with “filthy” stun-lock strat Bandai NamcoArmored Core 6 PVP just got a whole lot more physical now that players know punching is a viable strategy. One Reddit user showed off a fist-fuelled come-from-behind victory and a new meta has been born. Armored Core 6 has exploded into mainstream popularity and finally brought the series the credibility that longtime fans have dreamed of. The game has Assult Boosted past a majority of FromSoftware’s previous games to become the developer’s second biggest PC launch. While some players are saying that the game’s extensive campaign is one of FromSoftware’s hardest to date, some players have finished multiple playthroughs already. Now all that is left is the icing on the mechanized cake that is Armored Core 6’s PVP modes. Early metas have emerged in the PVP lobbies of Armored Core 6, primarily centered on Tetrapod leg-types and the dreaded dual shotguns. Now a new strategy is emerging after a wily player activated their fists of fury and used unarmed punching attacks to score a victory. Armored Core 6 PVP punching strategy u/Dynoexe posted footage of their crushing PVP triumph to the Armored Core Subreddit to a heaping of praise from the community. Beginning with less than 10% of their AP, they ejected their shoulder weapons for maximum intimidation and rushed down their opponent with a flurry of blows. Interestingly, YouTuber ZeroLenny managed to beat Armored Core 6 in its entirety using only his fists (and some kicks but whatever). He actually said in the video he published breaking down that playthrough that this strategy was “tremendous in Core versus Core combat”. The reason is that the unarmed melee attacks in the game build up crazy amounts of stagger damage and can be spammed to stun-lock other Armored Cores (ACs). So, in Armored Core 6’s PVP where you solely fight opposing ACs, it can be a winning play. In u/Dynoexe’s clip, you can see how quickly he staggers his opponent leaving them vulnerable to critical damage. The punches force them into a recovery animation that they can’t free themselves from in time to dodge the next hit. Even larger AC builds using Tetrapod legs or Tank Treads are vulnerable to the technique despite their high stagger defense. Players looking to surprise their opponents in Armored Core 6’s PVP could definitely give unarmed combat a try. It might not be as viable in the game’s 3V3 mode where other opponents could attack you mid-combo but for 1V1, it seems surprisingly effective. Especially considering you don’t have the same self-imposed limitations as ZeroLenny and can use shoulder weapons.

Armored Core 6 players want fix for major flaw in lightweight builds FromSoftwareArmored Core 6 players claim they’ve discovered a major flaw with lightweight builds and wonder if it will get fixed. FromSoftware’s hotly anticipated revival of the Armored Core series, Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon is finally here and FromSoft fans have already discovered just how difficult it is. Similar to FromSoft’s most well-known title, Dark Souls, Armored Core 6 players can experiment with different builds for their giant mechs — broadly customizing aspects like weaponry, overall build, and weight. However, some players think they’ve stumbled upon a big flaw when it comes to the game’s lightweight builds, with fans claiming these mechs simply don’t have enough ammo to take down tougher bosses. Armored Core 6 players want more ammo for lightweight builds The discussion among community members began when content creator Max0r tweeted that he was enjoying the game, but felt like he couldn’t play light builds. “Not because of dodging, health, weapons, etc. But because they just don’t have enough ammo to kill bosses. Are all bosses supposed to be fought with heavy builds,” he asked the community. The tweet gained traction among fans, with some echoing the sentiment that they too were running into ammo problems when fighting bosses using a light build. “I couldn’t finish the G1 mission without running out of ammo with a lightweight reverse-joint built. I have to use tank legs for that mission.” I couldn’t finish the G1 mission without running out of ammo with a light weight reverse-joint built. I have to use tank legs for that mission. — akanaabab (@gastara23) August 26, 2023 Other fans noted that they mainly stuck to Blade weapons when using light builds, which alleviated their ammo problems. I love dual wielding stuff but bring a melee weapon along on my shoulder to counteract that. Using it for direct hits is op and saves ammo. — BNBaku (@BNBaku2) August 26, 2023 “I love dual wielding stuff but bring a melee weapon along on my shoulder to counteract that. Using it for direct hits is op and saves ammo,” said YouTuber BNBaku. One fan suggested that it may not be the best idea to simply stick with one build, as the game rewards players who branch out and try different different builds in different situations. Having watched more than a few people play AC6, the common attitude I’ve noticed is that the game seems to REALLY want you to diversify builds for different situations. Sticking with one build you like a lot and trying to brute force stuff seems to not be the move. — 🗡 𝕄𝕒𝕡𝕡𝕪 🛡 (@ProperlyMappy) August 27, 2023 “…The common attitude I’ve noticed is that the game seems to REALLY want you to diversify builds for different situations. Sticking with one build you like a lot and trying to brute force stuff seems to not be the move,” they suggested. Considering the game has only just been released, it may be too early to conclude light builds are inherently flawed. Still, players who are struggling to take down bosses using light builds may want to try out other options if they feel stuck.

Armored Core 6 players say this early boss fight “filters” new players out FromSoftware/Bandai NamcoFromSoftware is no stranger to filling its games with intense and difficult boss fights, but for some players, one of the earlier fights in Armored Core 6 is proving too tough to handle. Armored Core 6 revives the mech franchise after FromSoft spent a decade focusing on fantasy games, most notably the Dark Souls series, and last year’s hit Elden Ring. The impact of these games is clear in the revamped Armored Core- target locking and dodging are core parts of combat that any SoulsBourne veteran will recognise instantly. Something else that’s carried over are the insanely difficult boss encounters, and while the first fight with the AH12 HC Helicopter is proving to be very difficult, it’s the third boss, Balteus, which has been branded as the true “filter” of Armored Core 6. Armored Core 6 Balteus boss described as “skill check” fight It’s not the first time a roadblock boss has acted as a skill check for new players. When Elden Ring first dropped last year, Margit the Fell Omen had a similar role in the early stages of the game, where his unpredictable and high-damage moveset made him a massive issue for players unfamiliar with the series. Balteus is a similarly difficult fight. With high-damage AOE attacks and a beefy shield, he’s there to teach players that they have to switch things up and try new builds. Most notably, several players noticed that adding the Pulse Gun to thier AC made the fight significantly easier, because of how useful it is in taking down Balteus’s shield. One player even suggested that: “Balteus isn’t a skill check, it’s a build check.” “The pulse guns are huge and the game even tells you about Pulse weapons prior to the fight, but lots of people ignore that point entirely.” For a full breakdown of every other boss in Armored Core 6, check out our complete guide to the boss fights here.

Armored Core 6 players are turning mechs into Minecraft Creepers and Pepsiman FromSoftware, Mojang, PepsiThe game has not been out long, but Armored Core 6 players are already having a blast with the game’s customization options. Mechs are being turned into Creepers from Minecraft, the legendary Pepsiman, and much more. Armored Core 6 allows players to have a whale of a time before they even properly jump into the game! Very early on, AC6 users can seriously mess around with their mech and customize it to their heart’s content. Aside from obvious OST upgrades and necessary mech-improving parts, there’s also a great emphasis on modifying the appearance of the mech. This comes in the form of emblems, decals, paint jobs, and much more. Naturally, Armored Core 6 players have already gotten stuck into the feature. Armored Core 6 and Minecraft join forces in unlikely manner A Minecraft Creeper is big, green, scary, and in no way shape, or form a mech. Yet, Armored Core 6 players have already unleashed the improbable AC6 and Minecraft crossover. In a Reddit post titled “Creeper…awww man,” user BiffTheBear showed off their bizarre green mech – with Creeper face and all. “It’s not even a day yet and people are doing stuff like this,” commented one user, and another said: “This made me wheeze, ngl.” The madness doesn’t stop there though. In an even more unlikely twist, Pepsiman is back! The character from the titular 1999 PlayStation 1 game has been reincarnated mech style. Some humourous comments came the creator’s way as players are loving that “the legend lives on” and demanded that the OP “give me the share code.” Souls fans will also be pleased to see that Armored Core 6 users are ‘praising the sun‘. There really seems to be no limit to a player’s imagination. We’ve even had super-powerful mechs being turned into classic CAT bulldozers of all things. 24 hours have elapsed since the game’s release and it’s already pure anarchy. It does make you wonder what Armored Core 6 players are going to come up with next. Judging by some of the early reactions, it seems that mech creation is the only fun that some buyers may have with the game. Some of the fanbase has accused FromSoftware as liars amid complaints about the game’s difficulty.

Armored Core 6 players claim devs lied about making “Armored Souls” FromSoftwareIn a departure from recent Souls games, FromSoftware has released Armored Core 6 – a natural continuation of one of the company’s most popular franchises. However, some long-time fans feel it relies too heavily on Souls mechanics that the devs have become so renowned for in the last decade. Armored Core 6 has been long overdue, but it’s finally here. It’s been exactly 10 years since Armored Core: Verdict Day was released, and the wait is over. FromSoftware has returned to the franchise that helped build the studio’s reputation. Little else needs to be said about the impact and success of the Souls genre. Bloodborne, Sekiro, and Elden Ring are some of the most revered titles in recent memory. Yet, many still yearned for a new AC game. Those wishes have been granted thanks to Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon. The game is certainly satisfying the craving of many who have been campaigning for a new entry. Its mech-massacring mayhem isn’t sitting well with everyone though. Criticism is being directed toward the game for maybe not distancing itself from recent Souls games enough. Fans claim “FromSoftware lied through their teeth” about Armored Core 6 As it stands, Armored Core 6 has an impressive 84% positive review rating on Steam. This is based on over 4,000 reviews and the player base is largely enjoying the title. According to Reddit user ChaotixEDm though, not everyone is happy. “50% of the bad reviews on Steam are because people can’t beat the tutorial boss.” One user replied saying: “There is still a huge learning curve for me or maybe it’s because I don’t want to spend money on gear just yet because I don’t know what to start with, but giving a game a bad review over a difficult boss is just childish.” The game’s first level does indeed feature a boss – the AH12 HC Helicopter – and it certainly will test players – in the way that Wo Long’s tutorial boss did. Here’s an example of one such Steam review based on the first boss, courtesy of Steam user Vexlar: “Gameplay just feels meh. The gunplay doesn’t feel impactful, the mech is kinda floaty, combat flow feels weird with pew pew pause-like game loop. Most things are just one shot then suddenly you’re against a bullet sponge in the sky, and to do any real damage you need to melee. So you fly into its face swing then pause, again weird combat flow, in this boss fight it will also go out of bounds so you have to just eat its shots whilst it comes back into the fighting ring to build stagger bar, melee again rinse repeat.” One Steam review said: “FromSoft devs lied through their teeth when they said it wasn’t gonna be Armored Souls. Longer review: I am having fun with most of the game, but the boss fights are pretty trash.” Another user also blamed the Souls influence for alleged shortcomings: “I’ve been a big fan of Armored Core since the second game. I’ve played up to ‘For Answer’ and ‘V’ and I have to say going into this game I was really excited to have another Armored Core game to play. Sadly, if that is what you are looking for this isn’t it. This is just Sekiro with an Armored Core paint job, and it suffers for it in my opinion.” The talk of difficulty is a constant topic in gaming – especially in Armored Core 6. If you fancy playing something alongside AC6 or want a different experience entirely, here are five other titles you should check out.

Armored Core 6 players already think it’s harder than Dark Souls Bandai NamcoSeeing as it’s a From Software title, people aren’t surprised that Armored Core 6 is a challenging game. However, many weren’t prepared for just how hard it would be, with some players claiming it’s even more difficult than Dark Souls. In the years following its release, saying something is “harder than Dark Souls” or using the Souls series as a benchmark for difficulty has become a bit of a meme within the gaming space. With how influential the Souls games are, it’s no surprise that they constantly get mentioned regarding difficulty. However, seeing as Armored Core 6 is from the very same developer and is in and of itself a tough game, the comparison is an apt one. Between new players getting stuck on the very first boss in the game and Balteus, the first true challenge for players, besting players before they even get through Chapter 1, many longtime FromSoft fans are claiming that Armored Core 6 is harder than Dark Souls. Armored Core 6’s early boss fights stump players With so many people simultaneously being fans of From Software’s work while having never played an Armored Core game, most people couldn’t tell just how challenging this game would be before they got into it. Was it going to be a cakewalk? Would it be impossible without deep knowledge of the game’s complex systems and deep customization? While the answers to those questions vary from person to person, most lean toward the latter. Where games like Elden Ring or Dark Souls started with relatively easy bosses and a bit of time for players to stretch their legs and get used to the games’ worlds, Armored Core 6’s first boss throws players right into the fire. Fans of the game who took down the boss easily have called it the “Noob Filter,” hitting new players with a mix of encouragement and playful teasing. Some players claimed it was easy, while others thought it felt harder than Dark Souls games. “I’m new to the series but already I feel the souls games are so much easier in comparison. 10/10 tutorial boss even when it took me about ~10 tries to complete. I can’t wait to get my s*** kicked in by later bosses.” said one redditor. Meanwhile, Balteus has also become a massive topic of discussion amongst players as one of the first huge challenges in the game. Even those who were series vets claimed that this boss gave them some trouble. People in the replies claimed it took them anywhere from 10 to 40 tries to best this boss, with some claiming that it took them literal hours to get past this encounter despite it being in the game’s very first chapter. YouTuber Elvis the Alien chimed in, claiming that the fight took him a while. “He kicked my ass for hours. Super sick fight, though.” Meanwhile, Washington Post journalist Gene Park recounted his experience with taking on Balteus and going through the steps of how he managed to take it down. Ultimately, it’s impossible to say whether or not Armored Core 6 is harder than Dark Souls. The two games are incredibly different, with their challenges presenting themselves in very different ways. However, the fact that some players have run into much more difficulty with this game than during their time with the Souls games speaks volumes about how difficult it is.

Armored Core 6 PC requirements: Recommended and minimum specs FromSoftwareFromSoftware’s latest mega mech title, Armored Core 6, is a monster of a game with high levels of technical polish. If you’re planning to play on PC, then let’s run through the system requirements needed to run the game including the minimum and recommended specs needed for AC6. Armored Core 6 is a return for a fan-favorite franchise that has been missing since 2013. The series is often regarded as the ultimate mecha franchise that took the genre to a whole new level. Not only that, but it also put FromSoftware on the map, before their attention turned to the Soulsborne series. The hype surrounding Armored Core 6 was massive, because the game, and the series as a whole, has the distinction of FromSoftware attached to it. PC players will definitely want to know what system requirements are needed for the game before they dive into all the mech battles.

Does Armored Core 6 have Photo Mode? FromSoftwareArmored Core 6 players might be tackling some of Rubicon’s toughest enemies, but they might be getting distracted by the nice scenery. But does Armored Core 6 have a Photo Mode? Graphics have come so far over the last few generations. The terrifying power of console hardware has helped inspire and produce cinematic-quality video games. In 2023, the trend carries on and FromSoftware is taking advantage of this. The team is no slouch when it comes to creating and offering up stunning pieces of artistically eye-pleasing titles. The dark, medieval nature of Dark Souls games and the vile, gothic nature of Bloodborne are just some examples of the team’s vision. Now, Armored Core 6 is here, and let’s see if we can memorialize mechs for years to come with a Photo Mode. Is Photo Mode in Armored Core 6? We can confirm that Photo Mode is included in Armored Core 6. This was originally confirmed in a video from PlayStation Japan. A “Special Briefing” on the popular YouTube channel ran through various elements of the game. Then, midway through the presentation, footage showed a still frame of a mech. Even though the gameplay is in Japanese, it clearly shows the conventional Photo Mode symbols and customizable bars so that players can tweak the ISO, Brightness, add filters, and much more. Timestamp at 46:24. If you’re someone who loves Photo Mode add-ons and adding your favorite moments from a game to your console gallery, then you’ll likely have a field day with Armored Core 6.

Armored Core 6 Patch 1.31 nerfs its most powerful combo & buffs everything else FromSoftware/Bandai NamcoArmored Core 6 patch 1.31 has touched down on Rubicon and a plethora of balance changes come with it. The most notable change has the community somewhat split. Armored Core 6 was a sleeper hit in a 2023 full of major releases. The mech-action revival could soon be in full swing thanks to the game’s successful launch eclipsing most other FromSoftware titles. The game is a bit of a departure from FromSoftware’s more well-known dark fantasy RPGs, but their patented brand of challenge is still present. In a bizarre form of praise, fans claimed Armored Core 6 was harder than Dark Souls. The difficulty of Armored Core 6 was so punishing that even FromSoftware decided to tone down some bosses in a previous patch that caused some rifts among players. Now thanks to patch 1.31, fans are divided for a different reason following nerfs to the extremely popular Zimmerman Shotgun and SONGBIRDS Grenade Cannon. To be fair, the divide is less pronounced than the boss nerfs of the previous patch thanks to a general consensus that these particular weapons were a little busted. The complex mathematics of Armored Core 6’s interwoven mechanics did set the Zimmerman leagues ahead of other options. It has taken hits to attack power, impact, accumulative impact, and direct hit damage and the SONGBIRDS have been similarly adjusted. Anyone who’s played a round of Armored Core 6’s PVP will be familiar with the two weapons shredding competition. This formed a love-hate relationship so strong that it actually birthed tsundere fan art of the dual-wielded shotgun combo lovingly referred to as Zimmy Chan. PVP players loved the power provided by the Zimmerman but loathed going up against it. Herein lies the disparity. Most players are happy that everything has been brought into relative equilibrium while enjoyers of Armored Core 6’s less challenging playstyles are dreading the adjustment. Along with the weapon balancing which gave a boost to nearly every other offensive option in the game, other changes have been made to Armored Core 6. These primarily affect the frame parts with buffs to lightweight builds and some tuning down for Tanks and Quadraped mechs. These patches apply solely to Armored Core 6’s PVP so you can still shred the game’s bosses with your dual Zimmermans if you’ve yet to do so.

Armored Core 6: How many missions are there? FromSoftware/Bandai NamcoArmored Core 6‘s mission-based structure may be a surprising twist for new FromSoftware players are may be used to Elden Ring’s open world format. But how many missions are there? Armored Core 6 missions are a return to the classic format FromSoftware utilized many years ago. The revelation that the game will not be open-world like Elden Ring wasn’t a shock to devotees of the franchise, though. All the previous games in the Armored Core series have been comprised of individual missions. Where Armored Core 6 differs is in the scope of its set pieces and a focus on boss combat. Here’s a rundown of every mission you can enjoy in the game. How many missions are there in Armored Core 6? There are a total of 42 missions in your first Armored Core 6 playthrough. For those who want to continue playing after the ending, however, they can begin New Game Plus and access an additional 17 missions in further playthroughs. This isn’t a new feature for the franchise. In previous entries of Armored Core, new missions were made available in New Game Plus. These new missions would provide hidden endings based on your character’s allegiance and that hasn’t changed here. And that’s all you need to know about the number of missions in Armored Core 6. Here are a ton of other guides to extend your knowledge of the games universe: Is the Moonlight Greatsword in Armored Core 6? | Armored Core 6 PC requirements | Is Armored Core 6 open world? | Does Armored Core 6 have multiplayer? | Armored Core 6 pre-order bonus & edition differences | Is Armored Core 6 coming to Xbox Game Pass? | Does Armored Core 6 have crossplay? | How to Stagger enemies with Impact meter | Does Armored Core 6 have photo mode? | Armored Core 6: How to get OTS chips upgrades

Armored Core 6 mid-game COAM farming guide: Best Mission, build, more FromSoftware/Bandai NamcoArmored Core 6 COAM farming quickly becomes a necessity around the mid-game. The powerful weapons and parts that become available have a hefty price tag. Here’s a quick mid-game COAM farming guide to keep you stocked up. Armored Core 6’s mid-game is when the options for customizing your mechanical death dealer really open up. If you want your Armored Core (AC) to have all the best bits, you need one thing: COAM. COAM is Armored Core 6’s primary resource and you’ll use it to purchase weapons and parts to build your beastly AC. Having access to a lot of parts makes it easy to switch up your build as you encounter the game’s tough bosses, including the one in this guide. We’ve already put together a guide for farming COAM in Armored Core 6’s early game but if you’re a bit further along, you’ll want to check this one out. Below we’ll fill you in on which mission to replay, what build to use, and the best strategy for maximum profit. Armored Core 6 COAM farming: Best mid-game mission The best mission to farm COAM in Armored Core 6’s mid-game is ‘Destroy the Special Forces Craft’. It becomes available in the third chapter of the game but be warned, it is a Decision Mission and contributes to the ‘Bad Ending’. For a first playthrough that shouldn’t be a concern as most players will want to experience all three endings. It’s quick to finish and has a fantastic max reward of 300,000 COAM though not incurring any repair or ammo costs is pretty much impossible unless you’re a gaming god. The mission has you face off against the imposing tank-looking MT from the story trailer for Armored Core 6. That’s right, not only do you get a metric tonne of COAM, you also get to avenge your fallen comrades 617 and 619. So, what’s the best way to tackle an insanely quick and highly lethal robot tank that made mince meat of two experienced AC Pilots? Armored Core 6 COAM farming: Best mid-game build At this point in the game, you’ve probably realized that throwing around terms like “best build” is a little hyperbolic (unless you’re talking about dual shotguns). In this instance though, the weapons used for this build are very effective against the Special Forces Craft. You’ve probably gotten used to a specific leg type and the movement that comes with it, this is just one build we’ve found that works to quickly dispatch the target. The mobility offered also helps avoid damage and get a higher take of COAM. The build is made up entirely of parts you should have access to when the mission first becomes available and is as follows: Weapons Right Hand: 44-141 JVLN ALPHA (Bazooka) – Left Hand: PB-033M ASHMEAD (Pile Bunker) – Right Shoulder: SONGBIRDS ( Grenade Cannon) – Left Shoulder: SONGBIRDS ( Grenade Cannon) – Frame Head: VP-44S – Core: EL-TC-10 FIRMEZA – Arms: EL-TA-10 FIRMEZA – Legs: RC-2000 SPRING CHICKEN – Inner Booster: ALULA/21E – FCS: FCS-G2/P05 – Generator: VP-20C – Expansion Assault Armor – So, how do you employ the awesome firepower, swift mobility, and fantastic energy management that this build gives you access to? Armored Core 6 mid-game COAM farming strategy The strategy for this particular build is relatively simple: Use the high impact afforded by the SONGBIRDS to instantly stagger the Special Forces Craft, dash in with a charged Pile Bunker attack, and finish with a Bazooka shot. Rinse and repeat. Now, the Special Forces Craft is heavily mobile and heavily armored so only hits to the vulnerable humanoid-looking center will have any effect. The only way to hit it is head-on so you’ll have to bait it into a charge. Once you get your guaranteed stagger by firing both SONGBIRDS at once, the Pile Bunker’s high crit damage and the melee specialization from the arms will do the bulk of the damage. Finish the combo by firing a shot from the bazooka and quickly dash to the right to avoid the charge that usually follows a stagger. The high mobility afforded by reverse joint legs and the Quick Boost speed from the equipped booster should help you avoid major damage. Just make sure to be at mid-range or further to avoid its mounted laser shotgun. Below is a quick video of a decent run that should illustrate the strategy properly. And there you have it, an efficient and easy way to keep your pockets full as you tackle the mid-game. This COAM farm for Armored Core 6 should ensure you have access to the best parts for your playstyle and allow you to experiment with new ones.

Armored Core 6 launch guide: Pre-load, game size, release times FromSoftware/Bandai NamcoThe long-awaited Armored Core 6 is set to launch in August, and players are eager to get into all the mech action by preloading the game. Here’s exactly how you can preload Armored Core 6 and all the information you need to do so. Armored Core 6 arrives on August 25, 2023, and many fans can’t wait to pick up the latest entry in the beloved franchise which will contain a new mission-based structure, and feature fully customizable mechs to use in battle.

Ahead of release, it was possible to pre-load Armored Core 6 on all available platforms. However, seeing as the game’s already out, you shouldn’t have to worry about it. That said, it took a while for the game to be available for pre-load on Steam in comparison to other platforms, with pre-loads opening up less than 48 hours before release while the consoles had the feature available for more than a week prior. Armored Core 6 file size Armored Core 6 currently has file sizes confirmed for PC and Xbox consoles.

No doubt that the PS5’s Kraken compression tech has something to do with it. Armored Core 6 launch times Armored Core 6 launched on August 25, 2023, and become available to play on console at midnight in your respective region. We expect that means a lot of players will become temporary residents of New Zealand, if you know what we mean.

Armored Core 6 leg types: Bipedal, reverse-joint, treads, and tetrapod FromSoftware/Bandai NamcoArmored Core 6 Fires of Rubicon offers the unparalleled mech customization that the series is known for including different leg types. Without a doubt, this is one of the most important parts of your mech builds so here are all the different options available in the game. The highly anticipated Armored Core 6 has arrived and fans both old and new are keen to dive into all the mech action. There’s a lot to do in the game which includes a big emphasis on customization. As you play as a debt-slave mercenary hired by soulless corporations to ravage the far-off planet of Rubicon 3 for its most precious resource you’ll have the option to adjust your mechs to your liking and leg types are one of the most important things to consider. Here’s a rundown of all the different leg types in Armored Core 6, and what benefits each provides. Contents Legs in Armored Core 6: Load limit and movement – Bipedal legs in Armored Core 6 – Reverse-Joint legs in Armored Core 6 – Treads in Armored Core 6 – Tetrapod legs in Armored Core 6 – Legs in Armored Core 6: Load limit and movement The reason legs matter so much in the Armored Core franchise is twofold. Your choice of legs sets your AC’s load limit (read carry weight) and fundamentally changes the way it controls. Weight limit is one of the most important factors in an Armored Core game because it governs how many and what types of weapons you can equip. 50% of your playstyle will come down to your choice of armaments. The other 50% will come from the way your AC moves and controls. Each of Armored Core 6’s four leg types will alter how you move and control so drastically, swapping between them can feel like playing two entirely different games. Each type of leg part will come in a light, medium, and heavy variation which will add its own set of pros and cons to gameplay. We’ll discuss these as we look at each type below. Bipedal legs in Armored Core 6 Bipedal legs are the most basic leg type in the Armored Core franchise including the sixth installment. This is far from a bad thing though as they allow for versatility and strong all-rounder builds. They’re favored by newcomers due to their relatively simple method of control and the ease at which you can build around them. Their variations in weight will alter your own load limit and govern your AC’s durability. The heavier the leg, the more armor you’ll have. Heavy bipedal legs do come at the cost of some movement speed and agility but will reduce the considerable recoil of heavy weapon types which this set of legs suffers from greatly. Bipedal legs have heavily reduced accuracy when firing on the move with back-mounted cannon weapons. These legs offer fairly generous load limits at the medium and heavy weights allowing for experimentation with weapon types in the early game. Even the heavier variants will give you decent mobility and build variety. Reverse-Joint legs in Armored Core 6 At a glance, there doesn’t seem to be much difference between Bipedal legs and their Reverse-Joint counterparts. Appearances can be deceiving though. Reverse-joint legs offer insane movement speed and maneuverability with higher jumps and longer flight time. This greater mobility comes at the cost of durability and load limit though. Even the heavier reverse-joint legs offer significantly lower armor and equipment opportunities than bipeds. Less durability isn’t an issue when you’re too fast to hit of course but the decreased load limit means you’ll have to have a specialized and tightly focused build. You can mitigate this somewhat using heavier options but you’ll lose a portion of the mobility that makes up the core identity of reverse-joint builds. Reverse-joint play has a high skill ceiling and looks fantastic when you get it down. If you’re a fan of sleek aesthetics and anime-style combat, these are for you. Treads in Armored Core 6 Tread legs take us into the more unique options for AC playstyles turning you into a literal tank. Even the lightest treads will allow you to equip heavier parts and weapons drastically raising your durability and firepower. They reduce the recoil of heavy weapons to the point of triviality meaning you can fire on the move with barely any penalties to accuracy. You would think they would make you cumbersome and relative to the two types of bipedal legs you will be. Still, you can tear along the ground at pretty high speeds and damage enemies by ramming them. Your turn speed and flight capabilities will take a significant hit if you choose treads for your AC’s legs. Dodging is also much harder with treads so you will be taking hits which can mean a reduced paycheck owing to the certainty of repair costs. Treads turn Armored Core 6 into Tokyo Drift with heavy ordinance and look fun as hell. If you’d rather tank hits than dodge them, try the treads. Tetrapod legs in Armored Core 6 Tetrapod legs are probably the most unique in terms of look and playstyle. Commonly referred to as ‘Quads’ by series veterans, they have had the most changes made to them in Armored Core 6. Tetrapod legs have massively reduced recoil from heavy weapons compared to other leg types. Moreover, they have a special hover mode which allows for a far longer flight time than any of their counterparts. They excel when equipped with long-range weapons due to their ability to hover out of range and confuse enemy AI. They are third on the mobility rung though. Only beating out the treads for obvious reasons. Still, they offer a great load limit and the potential for heavily armored builds with better dodging than treads. These ones are for anyone who saw Doctor Octopus and thought “That guy’s pretty cool”. Now that you know most of what you need to about the various leg types in Armored Core 6, you can start planning your build. Only the strongest AC’s will be able to contend with the game’s missions and bosses. Those are all the different leg types in Armored Core 6!

Armored Core 6: Is there a demo? FromSoftwareArmored Core 6 has just been released but is there a playable demo available for the game? Here’s everything you need to know about whether or not you can check the mech title out before spending your cash. After 11 years, the latest entry in the Armored Core franchise has finally arrived and the game has attracted both old and new fans alike thanks to the massive success of FromSoftware’s last release, Elden Ring. If you’re a newcomer and the mech title has piqued your interest but you don’t know if it will be your thing just yet you might be wondering if there’s a playable demo available. So, here’s everything we know about whether or not there’s a demo for Armored Core 6. Does Armored Core 6 have a demo? Armored Core 6 does not have a demo available. FromSoftware has currently no plans for a demo and the devs have not provided any hints to release one. As it happens, Elden Ring did have a demo version where players got to play a very small section of the game. However, the demo was released around three months before the official release of the game. Apart from that, games like Sekiro did not have any demos before release. Therefore, based on how FromSoftware has handled things in things in the past, a demo is highly unlikely. In case a demo does happen to release, we’ll make sure to update this section. This concludes our guide for Armored Core 6 demo. If you found it informative, please look into some of our other Armored Code guides at Dexerto.

Armored Core 6: How to Stagger enemies with Impact meter FromSoftwareArmored Core 6 has a deep combat system made up of many unique elements, and part of this includes the Stagger and Impact meter mechanics. Here’s how to use them in battle. The combat in Armored Core 6 is one of the game’s main selling points. Featuring outrageous mech fights across a variety of missions, Armored Core 6 tests players’ skill and patience, and encourages them to get to grips with – and even master- AC6’s deep combat. A staple of Armored Core 6’s gameplay is the intertwining Stagger and Impact concepts. Fans of Souls games – Sekiro in particular – will recognize these, so let’s take a deep dive into what they both do and how they work in the game. What is Impact in Armored Core 6? Impact is a special meter that effectively gives enemies a shield in Armored Core 6. An enemy’s Impact bar lets Armored Core 6 players know how close a foe is to completely letting their guard down and becoming susceptible to unblockable attacks. As seen in Sekiro and games such as Final Fantasy 16, enemies – especially more powerful ones – have a separate bar to their health gauge. In AC6’s case, it’s the Impact meter. In FromSoftware’s newest iteration in the franchise, this bar is identifiable by its yellow color. How to Stagger enemies in Armored Core 6 To get enemies into a Staggered state, Armored Core 6 players need to fully deplete the Impact meter. This means it’s up to you to dish out enough damage, combos, and debilitating attacks to render this bar empty. Once you’ve done that, it will effectively shut down any AI opponents and let you deliver lots of free punishment. Once the enemy has been idle and defenseless for a few seconds, the bar will then be completely restored. After that, it’s a case of rinse and repeat. We hope this answered any questions you had about Armored Core 6 and its Impact and Stagger features.

Armored Core 6 is “easier” than players are making it out to be argues Dark Souls expert FromSoftware/Bandai NamcoArmored Core 6 is not an easy game. No FromSoftware game is, but one Dark Souls expert claims it’s not as hard as people say it is. Armored Core 6 Fires of Rubicon has had an explosive launch and rocketed its way past most of FromSoftware’s other titles to become their second-biggest PC debut. While that would appear to bode well for the game’s accessibility, prohibitive levels of difficulty are often a draw for FromSoftware fans. Players have come out of the woodwork with horror stories about being walled out by the tutorial boss. Some are calling Armored Core 6 one of the developer’s hardest games and a select few are even breaking controllers in frustration. Despite all of this, Dark Souls content creator and expert Iron Pineapple has taken to Twitter to correct the record. They’re arguing that the perceived difficulty of Armored Core 6 comes down to a fundamental misunderstanding of how it’s supposed to be played. FromSoftware has built a bit of a name for itself with its punishing but fair titles. Iron Pineapple cautions players against letting that particular esteem throw them off. “I think Fromsoft’s reputation for making “hard games” is preventing people from understanding how Armored Core 6 is supposed to play,” Iron Pineapple explained. “Pretty much every challenge/boss can be trivialized by a certain build or strategy. Yet people are quitting left and right due to difficulty.” Armored Core 6 does have a massive array of customization options and allows players to switch up their build mid-mission upon death. All of the game’s punishing bosses have specific weaknesses and while they can be beaten with grit, the game does encourage experimentation. Players sounded off in the thread firmly agreeing with Iron Pinapple’s assessment. “Every boss can be made easier with the right build,” one user said. “It’s great that it mixes things up and makes you adapt,” replied another. While the usual “git gud” mantra is dominating a lot of Armored Core 6 discourse, its focus on mech customization allows plenty of room to play on enemy weaknesses. The clip above shows a player melting the same Chapter 1 boss that had others breaking their controllers. All with early game parts. If you’re thinking of checking out FromSoftware’s latest title but are a little put off by the potential challenge, check out all of our Armored Core 6 guides to prepare yourself.

Armored Core 6: How to save & use checkpoints FromSoftwareArmored Core 6 is an incredibly tough game that will test your skill and your patience. So you might be wondering how to save and use checkpoints to ensure you don’t lose any progress. Since its inception, the Armored Core series has been the paragon of mech-based video games. With a unique blend of RPG elements, strategic combat, and an engrossing storyline, the series has managed to build a loyal fan base. Stepping into the cockpit of Armored Core 6 feels familiar yet refreshingly new. FromSoftware knows how to distance itself from its Souls games and create intense, high-octane mech warfare. With that being said, concerns have been raised about the game’s save system, and we can, hopefully, answer that for you. How to save in Armored Core 6 The only way Armored Core 6 players can save is when the game decides to auto-save. You cannot manually save in Armored Core 6. On the plus side, while a complete lack of manual saves might alarm some players, don’t worry as the devs have something else in place for you – automatic checkpoints. As you navigate through missions, the game will frequently save your progress. These checkpoints are generously placed, ensuring that you won’t lose much ground should you need to leave mid-mission or if you, unfortunately, face a mission failure. While the lack of a manual save option might seem daunting, the automatic checkpoint system in Armored Core 6 is intuitive and player-friendly. If you do need to use a checkpoint after dying, you get full health and can access your Garage to tune your mech and take a different approach.

Armored Core 6: How to get OST Chips upgrades FromSoftwareArmored Core 6 OST Chips are a vital resource you use to upgrade your mech and switch-up your playstyle. Here’s what you should know about OST Chips in the game, including where to find them and how to use them. Piloting a mech in Armored Core 6 requires you to keep many plates spinning. Ensuring your mobility is solid but not clunky, ensuring your weaponry can pulverize and not become the equivalent of a pea shooter, and you also need to make sure you keep your health and armor stocked and souped up. There’s a lot you can do to your mech to ensure it’s battle-hardened and suits your playstyle. One way you can do this is through the game’s OST Chips. These handy devices offer you a lot of freedom in how your mech develops, so let’s run through them in more detail. What are Operation System Tuning Chips in Armored Core 6? OST Chips enable players to upgrade various aspects of their mech including new weapon attacks, mobility-enhancing boosts, better armor, and much more. As with most gaming upgrade systems, the respective amount of OST Chips required will likely vary from upgrade to upgrade. Minor upgrades could require one, whereas a big meaty increase to core stats will require two or more. How to get OST Chips in Armored Core 6 To get your hands on Armored Core 6’s OST Chips, you need to complete Arena missions. Missions in the Arena see players take on increasingly more difficult combat scenarios. These extracurricular activities will duly reward the player with OST Chips. Old-school fans of Armored Core will be instantly at home with them too.

Armored Core 6: How to input Share ID FromSoftwareShare IDs in Armored Core 6 are a great way to change the decals, parts, or even the paint of your mechs. So, here’s a guide on how to input Share ID codes in the game to customize your mech. FromSoftware’s latest entry into the Armored Core series gives players full freedom to customize their mechs to their hearts’ content. With such robust customization options, some AC6 players are already turning mechs into Minecraft Creepers and Pepsiman. The devs have taken it to the next level with Armored Core 6 where you can download other people’s decals using their IDs to enhance the look of your mech. However, figuring out how to input them can be trickier than expected. So, here’s a handy guide on how you can input Share IDs or codes in Armored Core 6. What are Share IDs in Armored Core 6? Share IDs in Armored Core 6 are 12-character codes, formed by a mixture of different letters and numbers. These codes are used to apply the decals of other players’ mechs on your own machine. The Share IDs go a long way in customizing your mech heavily. How to input Share ID in Armored Core 6? To input Share IDs in Armored Core 6, simply follow the steps below: Head over to the AC Design menu tile. – From there, select Image Editor. – Click on the Downloaded tab. – Once you select the download button, you’ll be able to enter the Search ID codes in the allocated space. – Type in the Share IDs and then hit the Enter button to confirm. – That’s it! You have now successfully input a Share ID in the game. As we mentioned earlier, these codes allow you to customize your mech thoroughly like assembly, decals, and paint. Remember, you can start customizing your mech only after defeating the AH12 HC helicopter in Chapter 1. This is the first boss of the game and once you beat it, you’ll arrive at the Garage where you can customize your mech. So, there you have it — that’s everything you need to know on how to input ID codes in Armored Core 6.

Armored Core 6: How to beat the first boss Bandai NamcoBeing a From Software game, it’s no surprise that Armored Core 6 is difficult. If the first AH12 HC Helicopter boss is a bit too hard and you’re having trouble taking it down, here are some tips that’ll help you overcome the game’s first big hurdle. The Armored Core series has always had a bit of a learning curve, and Armored Core 6 is no exception. The game throws a lot of options at you and doesn’t do a whole lot in the way of explaining what exactly you should be doing with them. The first helicopter boss acts as a sort of filter or skill check, forcing players to have an understanding of their Core’s mechanics and how to use them. Seeing as there’s no way to change the difficulty, the only way forward is improving as a mech operator. If this boss is too hard for you to get through, it’s likely just a matter of still needing to get the hang of the game’s mechanics. Here are a few tips that’ll help you take down the AH12 HC Helicopter, the first boss in Armored Core 6. How to beat the AH12 HC Helicopter boss in Armored Core 6 Seeing as it isn’t possible to customize your mech just yet when fighting Armored Core 6’s very first boss, you don’t yet have the option of changing up your mech’s loadout if it’s too hard an encounter for you. That’ll be useful later but, for now, the focus is on learning the game’s mechanics. These are some of the things you should know if you’re trying to tackle Armored Core 6’s first boss but you don’t know where to start. Stay on the ground as much as possible Like the Dark Souls games, managing your stamina (or in this case boost gauge) is an essential part of combat. While flying around and staying in the air is something you may want to do as soon as you hop into the game, the first boss will very quickly teach you that you can’t do that in Armored Core 6. Or, at least, not without the right loadout. If the first boss is too hard for you to defeat, it’s most likely that you’re overusing your boost gauge and winding up a sitting duck while the AH12 HC Helicopter guns you down. You’ll want to stay on the ground and strafe around the AH12 HC Helicopter’s attacks until it fires a missile at you, in which case you’ll want to get into the air and start dodging around. If your boost gauge runs out completely, it’ll take longer to regen, so make sure you don’t expend it completely. Being in the air is a tactical choice, not something you should be doing all the time. While flying around in your mech is fun, it’s not all that efficient when it comes to combat. Staying on or close to the ground and using your dashes to dodge is much more reliable than trying to fly and dodge midair. If you’re wondering where the boost gauge is, it’s centered at the bottom of the screen right below the impact bar. Keeping an eye on both of these meters is essential for survival in the harsh world of Armored Core 6. For more information, you can check out our full guide explaining the impact bar. Build the enemy’s stagger meter while keeping yours low The impact bar may look very similar for those who have played Sekiro, and its function is incredibly similar to the Posture mechanic in From Software’s previous title. Any enemy worth their salt will have a gauge of their own, and getting theirs down while keeping yours from filling up is essential in pretty much every boss fight. Once staggered, an enemy will have their actions interrupted for a brief time and will take additional damage from anything you have to throw at them. Your missiles and melee attacks will do a much better job of building gauge and doing damage than your main hand machine gun will, but your MG will keep that gauge from falling while your missiles and melee are cooling down. If you feel like this boss isn’t taking damage, this is likely why. You have to keep the pressure on and keep attacking it so that it staggers. Just be careful you don’t get staggered in the process, as it’ll open you up to being punished and taking some massive damage yourself. That said, there are some points where you’ll have to go in for the kill. Use your melee and stay aggressive Though it may seem to be a daunting enemy, getting in close to the AH12 HC Helicopter is essential when it comes to trying to take it down quickly. Many battles in Armored Core 6 are wars of attrition, so taking this boss down quickly is in your best interest. Your melee attack is easily the highest damage option in your arsenal, and you don’t have to worry about running out of ammo with it; the caveat being that you have to get into melee range. Against an enemy that flies around, getting into close enough range to get some melee attacks off is not only daunting but takes up some of that precious boost gauge. If you’re concerned about running out of boost, the ideal time to go in for melee is after you jump into the air to dodge the chopper’s missile salvo. Killing 2 giant metal death birds with one stone. Keep in mind it’s possible to strike twice with the starting melee weapon before it overheats as long as you attack consecutively. If the AH12 HC Helicopter boss has proven too hard for you to get past, these tips should help you out. Armored Core 6 is a difficult game, one that takes time and practice to get the hang of. You certainly aren’t the only one who’s had trouble with the first boss in this game, but persevering past it will put you on the path to exploring one of the best games released this year.

Armored Core 6 fans split after “noob filter” boss gets nerfed in Patch 1.02 FromSoftware/Bandai NamcoArmored Core 6’s first update comes in the form of Patch 1.02 and most of the changes have been welcome. One that has caused a bit of a stir in the community is the decision to nerf the infamous Balteus. Armored Core 6 has been tremendously well received by FromSoftware’s loyal community of fans. Some have even gone as far as to declare their love for the studio by tattooing the company’s logo on their chest. Amidst the fanfare for Armored Core 6, the usual discourse surrounding FromSoftware’s trademarked punishing difficulty has surfaced. Some have taken a more active role in that arena by modding an easy mode into the game. Armored Core 6’s Patch 1.02 is FromSoftware’s own answer to the game’s difficulty but it’s left some players less than satisfied. Users on the game’s Subreddit are divided over a change to the Chapter 1 boss Balteus. Commonly called the “noob filter.” Anyone who’s faced off against Balteus in Armored Core 6 knows the fear of its 100-missile bullet hell, flamethrower sword, and the dreaded close-range bazooka blast. Patch 1.02 gave a number of buffs to lesser-used weapons in Armored Core 6 but it also reduced the accuracy of Balteus’ seemingly infinite missile volleys. Players are split on the decision with a vocal part of the fan base saying that making Balteus an easier encounter hurts the spirit of Armored Core 6. Others bring the usual elitism that comes with conquering FromSoftware bosses and blame “casuals” for the nerf. “Can you people who suck at these types of games please stop crying about it?” One user complained. “You’re ruining the game for those of us who can.” While this sentiment is common, it’s not a popular one. The prevailing opinion is that the nerf is negligible at best and certain players are inflating its seriousness to capitalize on the pre-nerf Balteus sense of achievement. “They want Balteus to be so much weaker now,” one user explained. “If Balteus is tremendously weaker now, that means they beat him when he was much harder.” Balteus wasn’t the only boss to be nerfed in Armored Core 6’s Patch 1.02. The Sea Spider and Ibis also had adjustments made to tune down their difficulty. Fortunately, the sacred Zimmerman was left untouched but other weapons, particularly rifles and SMGs, received buffs to bring them up to scratch. The approach of empowering lesser-used weapons rather than hamstringing popular ones has earned FromSoftware a lot of praise.

Armored Core 6 has gamers smashing their controllers FromSoftwareNew FromSoftware release Armored Core 6 makes players rage over its difficulty, and for one player the boss fights were just too hard – and they ended up smashing their controller to pieces. Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon has finally been released, 10 years after its predecessor. The mech-pilot game merges traditional Armored Core elements with Dark Souls-esque mechanics to create a challenging gaming experience. Players who are new to FromSofware games have been complaining about how hard the game is, with some unable to beat the first boss. But even veteran fans of the Armored Core franchise have been struggling with some of the bosses in the game. In typical FromSoftware fashion, this had led to some pretty spectacular rage quits, for both new and returning players. Armored Core 6 Player quits and disintegrates controller One player voiced his thoughts on Armored Core 6’s difficulty on Twitter, sharing his experience of the Chapter 1 boss. In the tweet sourced by IronPineapple a content creator in the FromSoft community, another player called Armored Core 6 a “stupid f**king game.” They claimed that FromSoftware games are a “waste of money to get stuck on chapter 1.” In a follow-up tweet, the complaining user showed followers a picture of his controller after his last Armored Core 6 gaming sessions. The controller is completely smashed. Despite veteran fans struggling with the early-game bosses as well, this is nothing new to FromSoftware fans. One user replied to the tweet “I’ve played enough FromSoftware games that rage quitting isn’t a thing anymore. It’s just ‘I’ll try that again later’ lol.” The rage-inducing early Armored Core 6 helicopter boss has quickly gained notoriety for making players destroy their controllers and quit the game. Loyal fans have started branding it the “filter” boss, filtering out those who aren’t good enough to continue, similar to Margit in Elden Ring.

Armored Core 6 extended gameplay preview has fans “beyond hyped” Bandai NamcoFromSoftware gave fans an extended look at Armored Core 6 in an extended gameplay preview, with new information on the title only building up the hype for one of the year’s most anticipated games. Armored Core 6 is FromSoftware’s attempt at reviving a long-dormant franchise from deep in the highly esteemed developer’s history. Since pivoting to dark RPGs like the Souls games and Elden Ring, FromSoft seems to be taking the lessons they’ve learned from years worth of experience to give the cult classic franchise another shot after over a decade of the Armored Core series lying dormant. Following the release of a trailer that provides a closer look at the core gameplay of Armored Core 6, both longtime fans of the series and people along for the ride due to their love for other FromSoftware games are “beyond hyped” for the upcoming release. Armored Core 6 extended gameplay preview leaves fans in awe For more recent FromSoftware fans, older games from the long-standing studio’s library may look entirely different. Case and point, the Armored Core games have a more traditional, mission-based design and a central storyline that differs greatly from the open-ended structure people have grown accustomed to with more recent titles from them. Nonetheless, the prestige gained from the studio due to their Game of the Year winning titles like Sekiro and Elden Ring as well as the timeless hit that has been the Dark Souls series has given those unfamiliar with the series reason to check out the latest entry. Those who have kept up with pre-release coverage are incredibly happy with what they’ve seen so far, with old fans reminiscing on their favorite moments from the series and new fans ready to hop in for the first time. Comments on the extended gameplay preview don’t have a hint of negativity, with those who were there for the reveal’s premiere blown away by what they’ve seen so far. “I am beyond hype at this point. I cannot wait for this game to come out. It looks stunning.” commented one user. Meanwhile, those who hadn’t heard of the series up until this point are sold on things like its movement mechanics, sense of scale, and soundtrack. The trailer featured everything from one-on-one mech battles to taking down a massive mech that towers hundreds of stories tall in an impressive display with tons of variety to the environments players can explore. One of the top comments on the video leaves things on a bit more of a somber note: “A salute, to the Ravens who are no longer with us to see this.” With how long the series has been dormant, there are older fans who are simultaneously elated to have a new game in series and saddened when remembering their friends who aren’t around to play it. With FromSoftware having won many a game of the year award in both 2019 and 2022, it remains to be seen if Armored Core 6 Fires of Rubicon can capture that same essence that carried their other work to the top of gaming world.

Armored Core 6 easy mode mod improves ammo counts and customization Bandai NamcoAmid all the talk about Armored Core 6’s difficulty, someone built a PC mod that adds an easy mode to FromSoftware’s latest. Much of the conversation surrounding Armored Core 6 since its launch has revolved around the difficulty. The general consensus among critics and players seems to be that the newest Armored Core is even harder than FromSoftware’s Dark Souls games. As such, some have pondered whether the new title is too challenging. That and the lack of difficulty settings are likely keeping the game from reaching a wider audience. It makes sense, then, that the PC modding community is already hard at work on a solution. One mod, in particular, introduces a setting that should reduce the overall challenge. Armored Core 6 PC mod introduces easy mode EZ-Core is the name of a mod that adds an easy mode to AC6. PC players can download the mod via Nexus Mods, then download it to access a whole host of changes. According to EZ-Core’s description page, fans can expect the mod to reduce equipment weight by 50% and increase the effective range of weapons to 300% of their base value, and more. The full list of changes reads as follows: EZ-Core makes the game easier for the player by making AC customization more flexible, ammunition counts more generous, and currency gain faster. Precisely Reduces the Energy Load of equipment by 50%. – Reduces the Weight of equipment by 50%. – Increases total rounds for all weapons [to] 300% of vanilla value. – Increases currency reward from missions to 200% of vanilla value. – Increases currency reward from arena missions to 200% of vanilla value. – Increases the ideal and effective range of weapons to 300% of vanilla value. This reduces the amount of ricocheting. Will affect enemy ACs. – – The four download options include EZ-Core – Vanilla Camera: Includes the above changes with the vanilla camera. – EZ-Core – Wide Camera: Includes the above changes with the wider FOV camera and pushed-back camera point. – OPT-Core – Better Boosters: This makes quick boost, assault boost, and ascending much cheaper. Does not include the EZ-Core changes. – OPT-Core – Reduced Weight and EN Load: This reduces Weight and Energy Load of equipment by 50%. Does not include the EZ-Core changes. – – How to install the EZ-Core mod for Armored Core 6 The mod creator warns players against using this easy mode mod for online play in Armored Core 6, as they may run the risk of getting banned. “To launch the game offline, click the “armoredcore6.exe” instead of launching through Steam,” the modder writes. Installing the mod itself seems simple enough. PC users need only to follow these few instructions: Backup the normal “regulation.bin” file. Do this by making a copy or renaming it to a different name, such as “regulation_VANILLA.bin” – – Copy the “regulation.bin” to the game directory. “…\ARMORED CORE VI FIRES OF RUBICON\Game” – – Several comments on the Nexus Mods page applaud the modder’s efforts, with many users saying they love it, so far. This isn’t the first time a FromSoftware title has received a fan-made easy mode, either. Since Elden Ring‘s launch in early 2022, countless Easy Mode builds have hit the web. A wealth of other mods have also helped with skill unlocks, improved movement mechanics, and more. Armored Core 6 is bound to receive similar mods as time presses on.

Armored Core 6 early COAM farming guide: Best mission, build, more FromSoftware/Bandai NamcoArmored Core 6 COAM farming can be a chore if you let it. You’ll want to stack the game’s primary resource efficiently so you can keep progressing. To help with that, we’ve put together this guide on the best early-game COAM farm in Armored Core 6. Armored Core 6’s core gameplay loop relies on the building and customization of your very own mechanized death machine. If you want your Armored Core (AC) to have all the best bits, you need one thing: COAM. COAM is Armored Core 6’s primary resource and you’ll use it to purchase weapons and parts to build your beastly AC. Having access to a lot of parts makes it easy to switch up your build as you encounter the game’s tough bosses. We’ve put together a quick guide on the quickest way to farm COAM in the early game of Armored Core 6. Below we’ll fill you in on which mission to replay, what build to use, and the best strategy for maximum profit. Armored Core 6 COAM farming: Best early mission The best mission to farm COAM early in Armored Core 6 is ‘Destroy the Tester AC’. It’s the fifth mission in the game so you’ll be able to complete and replay it in the very early hours of the game. Its max reward without incurring any repair or ammunition costs is 95,000 COAM which at this point in the game is pretty decent. There are other missions that offer more COAM but the beauty of this one is how quick it is to finish. The mission has you intercepting a Dafeng student pilot delivering an experimental AC and his lack of experience allows you to make quick work of him. After a few tries you’ll have this 1V1 down to a fine science and can reliably clear in under a minute and 20 seconds. This mission is also a fantastic way to test out new weapons and parts configurations in a low-stakes setting that also rewards COAM. Sure it’s a little sad that you’re repeatedly slaughtering an inexperienced pilot who just wanted to make something of themselves but we stopped feeling for them on our fifth run or so. Armored Core 6 COAM farming: Best early build The term “best build” seems a little reductive in a game like Armored Core 6 where so many strategies can clutch a win. Especially given we just told you how great the ‘Destroy the Tester AC’ mission is for experimentation. You can use whatever build you’re comfortable with, of course, this is just the one we’ve found that works to quickly dispatch the target. It also helps avoid damage and secure a higher take of COAM. The build is made up entirely of parts you should have access to in the first chapter of the game and is as follows: Weapons Right Hand: DF-BA-06 XUAN-GE (Bazooka) – Left Hand: Vvc-770LB (Laser Blade) – Right Shoulder: BML-G1/P31 DUO-02 (Dual Missile Launcher) – Left Shoulder: BML-G1/P31 DUO-02 (Dual Missile Launcher) – Frame Head: VP-44S – Core: VP-40S – Arms: AR-012 MELANDER C3 – Legs: NACHTREIHER/42E – Inner Booster: ALULA/21E – FCS: FCS-G2/P05 – Generator: VP-20S – Now, how do we use it all? Armored Core 6 COAM farming: Strategy The strategy for this particular build is relatively simple: Use the high impact afforded by the missiles and bazooka to stagger the Tester AC and finish with a charged blade attack. The Tester AC stands completely still at the beginning of the mission and is very easy to take advantage of. Hover into range and fire both shoulder weapons and the bazooka at once for an instant stagger, then Assault Boost in for a charged blade attack. At this point, the Tester AC should be at half-health after a single combo. Use the split missiles to build stagger once more and fire the bazooka from a medium range. The ACS equipped will help both track fairly well and you should be able to stagger them again for another charged blade hit to finish the fight. The high mobility afforded by reverse joint legs and the Quick Boost speed from the equipped booster should help you avoid any major damage.

Armored Core 6 Cataphract boss guide: Best build & strategy FromSoftware/Bandai NamcoArmored Core 6’s Cataphract boss can be a nightmare to deal with thanks to its speed and damage output. If you’re struggling with the Cataphract, we’ve got you covered with an easy strategy and build to take it down. The Cataphract is actually an optional boss in Armored Core 6 that you can completely miss in your first playthrough. If you did happen to select the ‘Destroy the Special Forces Craft” Decision Mission then you’ll meet it face to face. It actually features in Armored Core 6’s Story Trailer. The Cataphract is the deadly PCA (Planetary Closure Authority) MT that took down 619 and 620 so this is an opportunity for revenge. While tough at first, once you get Armored Core 6’s Cataphract fight well and truly down, you can finish it in just over a minute. We suggest the Cataphract as the best mid-game farm for that very reason. So, how do you take down the Cataphract? Armored Core 6 Cataphract boss: Best build At this point in the game, you’ve probably realized that throwing around terms like “best build” is a little hyperbolic. In this instance though, the weapons used for this build are very effective against the Cataphract in Armored Core 6. The build focuses on high stagger application and melee burst damage. The weapons, and inner parts all maximize EN efficiency, melee damage output, and Direct Hit Adjustment. The frame helps add to the damage modifiers while using the agility of Reverse-Joint legs to keep you agile. A combination of heavy legs and a lightweight upper keeps you decently swift while still having a reasonable pool of AP. This Cataphract build is made up entirely of parts you should have access to when the mission first becomes available. Weapons Right Hand: 44-141 JVLN ALPHA (Bazooka) – Left Hand: PB-033M ASHMEAD (Pile Bunker) – Right Shoulder: SONGBIRDS ( Grenade Cannon) – Left Shoulder: SONGBIRDS ( Grenade Cannon) – Frame Head: VP-44S – Core: EL-TC-10 FIRMEZA – Arms: EL-TA-10 FIRMEZA – Legs: RC-2000 SPRING CHICKEN – Inner Booster: ALULA/21E – FCS: FCS-G2/P05 – Generator: VP-20C – Expansion Assault Armor – So, how do you employ the awesome firepower, swift mobility, and fantastic energy management that this build gives you access to? Armored Core 6 Cataphract boss: Strategy The strategy for taking down the Cataphract with this particular build is relatively simple. Use the high impact afforded by the SONGBIRDS to instantly stagger it. Follow that by Assault Boosting in for a charged Pile Bunker attack and finish with a Bazooka shot. Rinse and repeat. Now, the Cataphract is heavily mobile and heavily armored so only hits to the vulnerable humanoid-looking center will have any effect. The only way to hit it is head-on so you’ll have to dash around it to make sure you’re facing the side with the gattling guns. Once you get your guaranteed stagger by firing both SONGBIRDS at once, the Pile Bunker’s high base damage and the melee specialization from the arms will do the bulk of the damage. Finish the combo by firing a shot from the bazooka which has a high Direct Hit Adjustment. The high mobility afforded by reverse joint legs and the Quick Boost speed from the equipped booster should help you avoid major damage. Just make sure to be at mid-range or further to avoid its mounted laser shotgun. Below is a quick video of a decent run that should illustrate the strategy properly. And there you have it, an efficient and easy way to make short work of Armored Core 6’s Cataphract boss. This is a great fight to replay for easy COAM generation and to hone your reflexes for the tough bosses ahead. It also has a surprisingly easy S-rank qualification once you’re practiced.

Armored Core 6: Best PVP builds for the Nest FromSoftwareArmored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon offers lots of fun ways to upgrade and equip your mech, but which Armored Core builds are the most powerful when it comes to taking down other players? Here are the best PVP builds in Armored Core 6. Armored Core 6 is an excellent return to form for From Software’s long-running robot battling adventure. The game allows players to pilot a powerful mech suit known as an Armored Core, fusing it with all kinds of powerful weaponry and armor to not just slay in-game enemies, but other players in PVP battles too. The game features a PVP arena mode called Nest where different players can pit their Armored Core against the creations of others. Of course, players will want to know the most overpowered builds if they are to survive their encounters in the Nest. With that in mind, here are the best PVP builds you can use in Armored Core 6. Contents Tetra Nest build The Tetra Nest build is designed purely for PVP, while it can be of some use in PVE, this is a build for smashing other players before they know what’s hit them in the Nest. The build makes use of lots of missiles, providing death from above while PVP enemies scramble to get out of the way and counterattack. It’s far from the heaviest build you can craft in Armored Core 6, but it allows the player using it to gain aerial superiority quickly, and then rain fire down onto their opponents. Here are the parts you’ll need to make this PVP build in Armored Core 6: Right-Arm: WS-5000 Apertif – Left-Arm: HML-G2/P19MLT-04 – R-Back and L-Back: WR-0999 Delivery Boy – Head: HD-033m Verrill – Arms: AC-2000 Tool Arm – Core: VE-40A – Legs: LG-033M Verrill – Booster: BC-0200 Gridwalker – Generator: FCS-G2/P10SLT – Core Expansion: Terminal Armor – The Plasma-Cannon Tenderfoot build This build is actually designed for new players who want to get ahead quickly and score some wins in the Nest. It was designed as a PVE build but will serve players well in PVP too – mainly because while most early players are experimenting with their Core, you’ll be rocking a tried and tested death machine. Just know it will eventually need to be replaced by a more powerful build. As the name suggests, the Plasma-Cannon Tenderfoot build is light, nimble, and makes use of the deadly plasma cannon until much more dangerous guns become available. Here are all the parts you need to craft it: Right-Arm: VVC-760PR – Left-Arm: VVC-760PR – R-Back and L-Back: VVC-70VPM – Head: VP-44 – Core: VP-40S – Arms: VP-46S – Legs: VP-422 – Booster: BST-G2/P04/ ALULA/21EFCS: FCS-G2/P05 – Generator: VP-20COST – Core Expansion: Pulse Protection – The Lightning God build The Lightning God is a late-game build designed for players who are deep into New Game+ and beyond – but still want to slaughter enemies in PVP as well as dominate in PVE. While the build is suitable for all styles of players, one this powerful will continue to slap in PVP mainly because it’s so overpowered. As the name suggests, this is a fast-as-lightning build, but it’s also rather all-round in times of size and weight, so don’t feel like you’ll be under-equipped in terms of armor and guns. Those who want a super-light or heavyweight build would be more suited looking elsewhere, but when it comes to the best PVP builds in Armored Core 6, this is a force to be reckoned with. Here’s everything you need to put it together: Right-arm: DF-GA-08 HU-BEN Left-arm: DF-GA-08 HU-BEN R-Back and L-Back: BML-G1/P07VTC-12 Head: IB-C03H: HAL 826 Core: IB-C03C: HAL 826 Arms: IB-C03A: HAL 826 Legs: IB-C03L: HAL 826 Booster: BST-G2/P06SPDFCS: FCS-G2/P05 Generator: VP-20COST Core Expansion: Pulse Protection Is the Moonlight Greatsword in Armored Core 6? | Is Armored Core 6 open-world? | Does Armored Core 6 have multiplayer? | How to Stagger enemies with Impact meter | Does Armored Core 6 have photo mode?

Contents Best heavy frame PVE build If you’re looking to build a powerful battle tank capable of taking vast amounts of damage while also dishing out huge amounts of firepower, then check out the Hull Krogan build below, including the parts needed to craft it. Be aware that this build is very heavy and cumbersome, but when it comes to dishing out and taking damage, it’s top tier.

Before you jump into the tier list, might we suggest our list of the best mobile games for you to try? If you’re looking for tier lists for other mobile games, you can also pick from our offerings, like Mobile Legends: Adventure, AFK Arena, Clash Royale, and Genshin Impact. Without any further ado, let’s dive in and check out everything you need to know about the tier list for all operators in Arknights for January 2024. Updated January 2, 2024, to update the tiers according to the new meta. Contents What are the classes in Arknights? – Arknights operator tier list – What are the classes in Arknights? As already mentioned, all the operators in Arknights are broken down according to their in-game class. There is a total of eight different classes in the game: Caster – Guard – Defender – Medic – Specialists – Sniper – Supporter – Vanguard – Arknights operator tier list The true strength of an operator depends entirely on the specific scenario and how that character synergizes with the other operators in the party. Owing to this, we have broken down our tier list class by class to help you pick the best choices from each of the eight classes in Arknights. As a general rule of thumb, operators that feature in the A and B tiers are those that you should be looking to ensure you use as often as possible in Arknights. Caster tier list for Arknights Specializing in magic damage, Casters are usually ranged operators with a reasonably limited health pool. Don’t let this put you off, though, as the best casters can wipe out entire armies with their abilities in seconds. Guard tier list for Arknights Guards are melee-based operators who can block enemies while soaking up bursts of damage from the enemy. While these characters are nowhere close to being the front line for your party, instead, they deal a notable amount of physical damage with their attacks alongside a not-so-squishy health pool. Defender tier list for Arknights The front-line operators in Arknights, Defenders, are highly sustainable characters, capable of withstanding anything the enemy might throw at them. However, you should note that these operators cannot deal much damage and are primarily helpful for blocking incoming attacks. Medic tier list for Arknights As the name suggests, Medic operators excel at healing their allies instead of attacking the enemies, and as such, it should be noted that these operators are highly squishy. With shallow defensive attributes, Medic operators should be positioned accordingly in combat to increase their overall survivability. Specialists tier list for Arknights Specialists are operators who are experts at disabling or applying debuffs to enemies when required. While they can be beneficial up to a certain level, their true potential is revealed in the PvP mode as crowd-controlling units. You should remember that these operators are not ideal for damage-dealing and should be used according to their specialization. Sniper tier list for Arknights Instead of marksmen, Arknights features Snipers, a class of operators who specialize in dealing damage from a long range. These operators can inflict massive bursts in a reasonably short duration, but these characters are pretty squishy and can be taken out rather quickly. Supporter tier list for Arknights Supporters are mainly equipped with tools that aid other operators in their party. Be it to provide buffs for your allies or debuff your enemies, these characters are handy in PvP matches combined with Specialist operators. Vanguard tier list for Arknights Another class of tanky operators who can serve as the front line for your army in combat, these characters also feature abilities and skills that allow you to regenerate additional Deployment Points for deploying other operators. So, there you have it – our Arknights operator tier list for January 2024. Make sure to check back in the future for any meta changes.

Arknights Recruitment guide: Best tags to use to find six-star Operators YostarIn Arknights, there are two ways to unlock characters: Headhunting and Recruitment. While the former uses the well-known gacha method, the latter lets you recruit new Operators for free — including some of the game’s best characters. If you’re trying to build out your Arknights team, you’ll need to get well-versed in the methods of unlocking the game’s best characters. While Headhunting is the traditional gacha way of doing things, you can get some great Operators without having to throw your wallet (too hard) at the game. However, knowing the tips behind Recruitment in Arknights can (almost) guarantee you a five-star character minimum every time — or at the very least get you the characters you want. Here’s how it works. How Headhunting works in Arknights: Gacha method Before we dive too deep into Recruitment, let’s briefly touch on Headhunting in Arknights. The gacha system in Arknights works very similarly to other games. You can earn Headhunting Permits by playing the game or buying it in the shop, and it lets you roll. Read More: Genshin Impact codes – There are featured banners for newly-released characters that are worth rolling on if you see someone you like. It is often worth just doing one 10-pull on each banner to get the guaranteed five or six-star character, then move on. There is also a pity rate for players for the unlucky players. While the base rate for six-star Operators is set at 2%, you are guaranteed one six-star character every 99 pulls. The rate goes up bit-by-bit starting after your 51st roll until you hit 100% chance at that final pull. How Recruitment works in Arknights: Time-based method Recruitment is a time-based character unlock method in Arknights. You can choose parameters — like search length and character tags — to unlock Operators. The longer the search, the better the Operator will be. Recruitment isn’t entirely free in Arknights — it will cost you some LMD and a Recruitment Permit every time. However, you can cut the cost by upgrading your HR Office in your base. While you can get some six-star Operators through Recruitment, not every Arknights character can be unlocked this way. Grani, Bagpipe, Astesia, and Nian are only available through events or Headhunting. A handful of others, including Amiya, Eyjafjalla, and Lappland. Best tags for Arknights Recruitment The best Recruitment tag you need to look out for in Arknights is Top Operator. Seeing this tag on a nine-hour recruitment time means you’re guaranteed a six-star Operator. The same goes for Senior Operator with its guaranteed five-star. However, there are some others that will get you even more specific Operators. The Crowd-Control tag will get you Texas, Projekt Red, or Mayer. Summon (Mayer) and Nuker (Firewatch) also grant guaranteed five-star Operators. Read More: Honkai Impact codes – If you want to get the five-star Vulcan or Indra — who are available through Recruitment only — you need to use the Senior Operator / Guard / DPS tags (for Indra) or Survival / Defense (for Vulcan). If you’re unsure, or are targeting a specific Arknights character, be sure to check their tags individually so you can give yourself the best chance of unlocking them!

Arkane director makes plea to executives after “absolutely terrible” studio closure Arkane Studios/ BethesdaArkane creative director Dinga Bakaba has taken to Twitter to make a plea to executives after the closure of one of the studios under the developer’s umbrella. Today news hit that Arkane Austin, Tango Gameworks, Alpha Dog, and Roundhouse Games (which is being shuffled into ZeniMax Online) would be closing. This follows a long string of redundancies that have hit Microsoft-owned developers in recent months. In January, a staggering 1,900 jobs at Activision Blizzard and other first-party studios were affected. In response to Redfall‘s Arkane Austin closing, Arkane Lyon’s studio director and co-creative director Dinga Bakaba went to X/Twitter calling the decision “absolutely terrible”. He directly addressed executives, saying: “To any executive reading this, friendly reminder that video games are an entertainment/cultural industry, and your business as a corporation is to take care of your artists/entertainers and help them create value for you.” He continued by saying: “You say we make you proud when we make a good game. Make us proud when times are tough. We know you can, we seen it before.” “For now, great teams are sunsetting before our eyes again, and it’s a f*cking gut stab. Lyon is safe, but please be tactful and discerning about all this, and respect affected folks’ voice and leave it room to be heard, it’s their story to tell, their feelings to express.” The impassioned response comes after over a year of brutal layoffs across the video game industry that has seen thousands of jobs lost at major studios. There had been hope that the job losses might slow down after the end of the last financial year, but these closures serve as a stark reminder that this is still ongoing. Adding to the hurt, an Axios interview from June of last year with Head of Microsoft Game Studios Matt Booty has resurfaced by journalist Stephen Totilo. In it, speaking after the fallout of Redfall’s reception, he said: “That is the plan right now. They are hard at work on updates and continued content for Redfall.” As Bakaba says, Arkane Lyon, who is currently working on Marvel’s Blade, is “safe” from this round of layoff. It’s not clear if Arkane Austin was providing any specific support on the game, but it will likely have a toll on the game developers still under the Arkane umbrella.

ARK Xbox patch notes for 355.12 update Here is the one and only change coming to ARK with the 355.12 update: Fixed multiple exploits – The handful of exploits fixed in the game is the only major change in the patch. The 355.13 update did not bring any balance changes to the game, meaning players who are looking for major changes will have to wait until future patches.

However, those looking to have a continually more smooth experience playing ARK will be delighted as the developers have pushed an update here which squashes a handful of bugs that has been plagued players’ experience in the survival title.

Arkane announces new Blade project in partnership with Marvel at The Game Awards 2023 Marvel / ArkaneDuring The Game Awards 2023, Arkane Studios revealed its next game will focus on Marvel Comics’ iconic vampire hunter, Blade. Arkane Studios is working on a Blade game. During The Game Awards 2023, Arkane announced a game centered on the iconic vampire hunter. It’s set to be a mature, singleplayer, third-person action game. The studio is known for developing games like Arx Fatalis, the Dishonored series, 2017’s Prey reboot, and 2021 Game of the Year nominee Deathloop. Its most recent release is this year’s Redfall, which has become infamous among gamers as critics and players alike cited poor performance and overall sloppiness. As for Blade, the vampire hunter is no stranger to video games. He’s appeared in more than 20 titles since the late ’90s, including movie tie-in games for the Wesley Snipes films, the Marvel Ultimate Alliance series, and Fortnite. Most recently, he played a major role in Marvel’s Midnight Suns as a member of the titular team. The character is also set to finally join the MCU after various development struggles and delays. Just this week, Blade star Mahershala Ali gave fans a positive update, saying he is “sincerely encouraged in terms of where things are at and who’s on board and who’s leading the way as far as the writing of the script and the directing and all that.”

Ark Survival Ascended players say remake lives up to its name thanks to bugs Studio WildcardThe recent early access release of Ark Survival Ascended has been defined by performance and server issues, including a bizarre bug that has creatures floating into the stratosphere. Ahead of its long-awaited sequel, Ark Survival Ascended was meant to be a next-gen remake and overall enhancement to 2015’s Ark Survival Evolved. It launched in early access on October 25 for PC and November 21 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, where it’s available on Game Pass. However, the game, which already faced controversy over its pricing and the developer’s plan to shut down the original, is being widely criticized for a variety of issues including crashes, server issues, performance issues, and bugs. Not all of Ark Survival Ascended’s issues are game-breaking, though. In fact, some have reported a strange bug that is actually pretty hilarious – and inadvertently helps the game live up to its title. Ark Survival Ascended bug causes dinosaurs to float As several players have reported on social media, Ark Survival Ascended currently includes a bug that causes creatures to suddenly start floating. In one video shared on Reddit, one dinosaur riding on a boat begins floating above the watercraft. The video itself – set to Sarah McLachlan’s song “Angel” – is pretty amusing, but as the poster notes, they needed metal and “Spieked was never seen again.” Another Reddit user shared their own similar experience in a post titled “Anyone else having issues with your babies taking off to space?” The comments on both posts are pretty hilarious, with many sharing memes joking that the dinosaur has been chosen by a deity or is being abducted by aliens. Some have noted that the bug is fitting given the remake’s new subtitle, with one noting “It’s called Ark Survival ASCENDED for a reason.” Given that the game has just entered early access, it’s likely these issues will be sorted out ahead of the game’s eventual full release. However, it seems that, for now, Ark Survival Ascended is living up to its name in a way no one expected.

The fresh look explored the game’s titillating setting and included the presence of Fast & Furious star Vin Diesel (riding a dinosaur, of course). However, some players aren’t fully convinced about Ark 2 just yet, as many feel that the game needs to feature a first-person mode. Ark 2 may lack an “identity” without a first-person option Redditor Araaees ignited the worries of players anticipating Ark 2, noting that “first person is a huge part of ARK’s identity.” The upcoming sequel is touted to be a third-person adventure but the Redditor isn’t sure whether it will be as immersive: “Running past other cool creatures and experiencing the scale and immersion of it all, it felt magic at the time. “I really hope Wildcard reconsiders not adding First Person into ARK 2, because it wouldn’t really be the same without it.” The decision to focus on a third-person perspective has split Ark players, as some of them would prefer the ability to choose. Redditor AngryLightningBug said they “had low hopes for Ark 2 but now they’re even lower. I literally never use 3rd person. It’s practically unplayable like that for me.” Another player preferring the first-person option added: “I have NEVER played in third person after all these years. I never do that. I appreciate radical changes, but no first person (even just as an option) is removing something far too core to Ark.” However, others are willing to give the devs a chance: “Let’s wait and see: this is an entirely new game with what seems to be entirely new areas of focus, and it’s premature to judge something like this until we see it in context.” Ark 2 will head to Xbox Series S|X consoles and PC in 2023.

Arrowhead Game Studios’ Helldivers 2 is the sequel to 2015’s tactical third-person shooter game and it’s finally out on PC and PlayStation 5. The game takes place in a futuristic Super Earth where the “managed democracy” rules mankind. Helldivers 2 allows players to take the role of elite soldiers with the sole objective of protecting the planet from threats.

Are there killstreaks in XDefiant? UbisoftIf you’re going on an unstoppable tear in XDefiant, you will certainly be rewarded for it in a number of ways, but can you expect any devastating killstreaks like in Call of Duty? With just about any FPS, there’s nothing sweeter than going on a killstreak. Asserting your dominance over a lobby, racking up kill after kill, it’s the best feeling in CoD, Apex, and many others. XDefiant is no different in that regard. But exactly how are you rewarded for said killstreak in Ubisoft’s new release? While other games may provide access to a set of game-changing streak rewards, XDefiant handles things a little differently. With that said, here’s everything you need to know about killstreaks in XDefiant. Does XDefiant have killstreaks? No, XDefiant doesn’t feature any killstreaks, at least not in the traditional sense. You can’t pop a UAV or call in an airstrike if you rack up five or 10 kills in a row, for instance, but that’s not to say you aren’t still rewarded in a roundabout way. If you’re going on a tear, securing multiple kills in a single life, you’re rewarded in two key ways. Firstly, you’ll be nabbing far more experience for your troubles, helping you advance through the Battle Pass and level up. But second, and most crucially, you’ll be working towards your Ultra ability much quicker than usual. In short, the better you perform in a match, the quicker you’ll get to your Ultra. For most regular matches with an average performance, you can expect to use an Ultra once per round. But should you fly up the scoreboards, racking up kill after kill, you can use your Ultra two or even three times. So while there are no proper killstreaks in XDefiant, going on a hot spree is still worth your while. Just don’t expect to be dropping a nuke on anyone if you do nab 25 kills in a single life.

As reported on the DisneyDLV Twitter account, issues with the games initial loading was reported on October 31, 2022. As of November 2, 2022, it seems these issues have now mostly been resolved. However, with the fix being rolled out, Disney Dreamlight Valley is still not working on the Nintendo Switch. A fix is expected to happen as soon as possible. It is important to note that those playing on the Switch will struggle to load their games and will therefore likely be unable to play. While there are a few fixes for the Nintendo Switch not loading the game, players should be careful when completing tasks and saving in case either fails. Players are expected to receive “compensation” for this inconvenience, although this has yet to be explored in detail. This guide will continue to update as new information on Disney Dreamlight Valley server outages becomes available.

Are duos coming to Bloodhunt? Devs host survey to gather fan feedback Sharkmob ABVampire: The Masquerade’s battle royale Bloodhunt is off to a hot start, and developers look to keep that rolling through open communication with their fans. On October 5, the Bloodhunt devs took to the Steam community forums and set the situation for their players. For a limited time, there would be an open survey allowing players to vote on the addition of Duos into the game. While this may seem strange at first, the vote carried big implications for the entire community. The addition of a two-person game mode would mean removing the Trios option that has been the game’s norm since Early Access first debuted. The results of that survey have yet to be disclosed, but considering how heavily requested a duo playlist has been, it wouldn’t be a shock to see it arrive in the game soon. Will there be a Duos playlist in Bloodhunt? While it was too soon to make a decision in the most recent patch, the duo playlist may be on the way in the next update – Act 2 0.6, along with a handful of balancing changes and bug fixes. The fans seem to be of split opinion about the decision. There are a number of comments on both sides, and with the survey closed, it’s impossible to tell which one is winning. It does seem as if the fans all agree about one thing though; Sharkmob is doing a great job in keeping the lines of communication open. One user commented: “I would love to see a duos mode, but I feel like adding it too early may split up the playerbase that much more. Anyways, props to the discord and dev team for doing a great job talking to the community and just the game as a whole.” Read More: Bloodhunt devs discuss challenge of making a battle royale based on Vampire The Masquerade – We’ll have to keep our eyes peeled to see if the duos vote won out, but you can always check out our other Bloodhunt coverage in the meantime.

Guilty Gear Strive players convinced final Season 3 fighter is a vampy favorite Arc System WorksArc System Works has confirmed that Season 4 is on the way for Guilty Gear Strive and even teased the fighting game’s next DLC character. Here’s what we know so far. The 2023 Arc World Tour Finals are in the books, which saw Solo Esports’ Ismalia ‘Verix’ Gueye take the championship for Guilty Gear Strive over Twisted Mind’s ‘Slash.’ In the event’s closing ceremony, Arc System Works announced some big news for fans of the fighting game franchise, revealing that Season 4 is now in development. That’s not all; they also teased the game’s next DLC character and a timeline as to when players can expect them to release. Here’s everything we know at this point. When is the next Guilty Gear Strive character coming out? The next DLC character for Guilty Gear Strive will be released in May 2024. While an exact date has not been given, this character will mark the final character for Season 3, which recently saw the induction of returning fighter A.B.A. on March 26. At the time of writing, there’s not much info as to the identity of the game’s next character. Arc System Works has not released a full silhouette of the character either, leaving fans with a plethora of possibilities as to who the next entry in the game’s roster might be – but the announcement video did contain a vague visual of the fighter, which showed the top of their hair and some bats flying around them. Thanks to this teaser, fans of the series have their suspicions that this silhouette actually Slayer, a character who was incredibly popular in Guilty Gear Xrd. That’s not all; as Season 3 wraps up, Arcsys also revealed that Season 4 is in the works, with more characters and content on the way. Additionally, the Arc World Tour will continue in 2024, with its first event taking place at EVO Japan from April 27-29. As per a press release, the 2024 Arc World Tour will include Guilty Gear Strive, GranBlue Fantasy Versus: Rising, and Under NIght in Birth II Sys:Celes.

ArcSys announce Elphelt Valentine and new 3v3 mode for Guilty Gear Strive Arc System WorksThe developers of Guilty Gear Strive Arc System Works (ArcSys) announced two major additions to their fan-favorite fighting game. One of them is the brand new DLC character Elphelt Valentine. The second one is a brand new 3v3 game mode set for release in 2024. Guilty Gear Strive is quite possibly one of the most popular fighting games out there. The game has been going strong since its original release in 2021 with a massive 2.5 million playerbase in 2023. As such, through a trailer at The Game Awards 2023, ArcSys announced two major updates for Guilty Gear Strive. The first major announcement is the introduction of Elphelt Valentine and the second is a brand new 3v3 game mode. Elphelt Valentine and new 3v3 game mode announced for Guilty Gear Strive Elphelt Valentine is a character who was also playable in Guilty Gear Xrd REV 2. She is a versatile stance-based unit and is known for her good pokes and anti-air. She is also exceptionally good at pressuring opponents and creating mixups. Naturally, she will get fine-tuned for Guilty Gear Strive, but she is arguably one of the most hype characters within the series. Additionally, she also plays a very important role in the story, which means there is a lot to look forward to surrounding her release. Elphelt Valentine is set to be released on December 8, 2023. You need to own Guilty Gear Strive Season Pass 3 to get access to her. The second major addition to the game is the 3v3 game mode announcement which is bound to be extremely fun. Whenever we think of a 3v3 game mode, the titles that come to mind are Dragon Ball FighterZ and Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3. Thus, with the introduction of such a mode in Guilty Gear Strive, fans can expect a whole new dynamic for the franchise. The 3v3 game mode will make its appearance in Guilty Gear Strive in the year 2024.

Arc System Works CEO promises more Guilty Gear “surprises” soon Arc System WorksArc System Works’ CEO promised more “surprises” for fans coming up in the future in an exclusive interview at the 2023 Arc World Tour Finals. Arc System Works is responsible for a slew of popular games, but fans might know them best for titles like Guilty Gear Strive and Dragon Ball FighterZ. However, fighting game fans were pleasantly surprised when it was announced that there would be Guilty Gear DLC for Dave the Diver, an indie title that took the gaming world by storm last year that’s being published by Arc System Works. While this DLC pack is only available for the Nintendo Switch, it’s definitely a welcome addition for fans of both games — albeit a bit of a random one. I got the chance to quiz the CEO of Arc System Works, Minoru Kidooka, about this unexpected decision, which he claimed was a “no brainer.” “Well, when we were asked to handle Dave the Diver, since it’s already on Steam, we thought that we could provide something new to the fans of the game or Arc System Works,” he told us. “I think it was just a no-brainer to put in some kind of guilty gear collaboration in there to appeal to those fans.” This led to an interesting comment from Kidooka, who says that the company wants to continue finding ways to integrate Guilty Gear into other properties for exciting and “surprising” collaborations. “It’s not just Dave the Diver, but we hope to find other opportunities to reach out to more people through these types of collaborations. We know that there’s a lot of people who are probably on the fence about Guilty Gear who might be a little bit curious about it. “Maybe they’ve heard it, but haven’t really touched it. So, I think, we’re looking for those opportunities to reach out to those people on the outside and try to bring them in as much as possible.” He echoed this sentiment further in our conversation, saying that the company wants to continue evolving and bring more “surprises” to players. That’s not all; he also claimed that there’s much more in store for Strive as Season 3 wraps up and had a message for fans. “Season three is in the wrapping up phase, but this is not going to be the end. We will continue to support Guilty Gear going forward, and we want to push other titles as well and deliver all sorts of fun to our player base. We want to bring more surprises, so please look forward to it.” Guilty Gear Strive players got a teaser for the final Season 3 DLC character over the weekend at the Arc World Tour Finals, as well as an announcement that a Season 4 Pass is in the works.

ARC Raiders: Release window, story, gameplay, platforms, more Embark StudiosARC Raiders is a free-to-play looter shooter from ex-EA and DICE devs, with a bold aesthetic and explosive combat. Here’s everything we know about ARC Raiders so far, from its story to the latest release date news. The looter shooter market is one of the most crowded in all of gaming, so new releases really have to stand out to find a large audience. The latest contender is ARC Radiers, a free-to-play sci-fi epic by former EA and DICE employees. ARC Raiders made its debut back at The Game Awards 2021, and fans have been eager for more details ever since. Here’s everything we know about ARC Raiders so far, including story details, gameplay, and when it could finally arrive. Contents Is there an ARC Raiders release date? – ARC Raiders platforms – ARC Raiders story – ARC Raiders gameplay – ARC Raiders trailer – Is there an ARC Raiders release date? There is no concrete release date for ARC Raiders right now, but developers Embark Studios have revealed that the game will arrive sometime in 2023. It was originally slated for 2022, but was delayed back in August to allow the team more time to “expand the experience and allow it to reach its fullest potential.” We’d expect more details on the release date to emerge in the coming months, possibly in early 2023. ARC Raiders platforms ARC Raiders will be released on PlayStation 5, Xbox X|S, and PC, meaning all current-gen platforms are covered. Sadly, there will be no last-gen version, so those on older hardware will be unable to drop in until they upgrade to newer consoles. There is no word yet on whether or not a Nintendo Switch version is in the works, but if so this will likely release later. ARC Raiders story You play as a Raider who is tasked with defending the planet from the ARC, an advanced mechanized species that arrived from space. It isn’t clear if the game is set on Earth, or just a similar-looking rock in deep space, but it has a distinct 1980s aesthetic. Little else is known about the ARC, where they came from, or what they want, but this information will likely be revealed in future trailers or once players can finally experience the world for themselves. ARC Raiders gameplay ARC Raider is a cooperative looter shooter that pits a squad of friends up against AI foes. Players will have a host of different weapons and gadgets at their disposal, with more dropping from defeated enemies and for completing missions. The official game website shows off some retrofuturistic equipment that can be welded, including a Snap Hook to grapple onto ledges, and a Howitzer rocket launcher to dish out some huge damage. There are also different Raiders to choose from with various playstyles. For example, Lance is an expert builder who can slay the ARC with his crafted weapons. ARC Raiders trailer There has only been one ARC Raiders gameplay trailer so far, which was unveiled at The Game Awards 2021.

Apex Legends Xbox Predator players caught boosting & teaming in Ranked Respawn EntertainmentA set of Apex Legends Xbox Predator players have been caught boosting and teaming in Ranked to unfairly gain RP. While hackers using third-party software in Apex Legends are often banned by the game’s anti-cheat, boosting is significantly harder to detect. As this form of cheating involves players queuing up for the same match and farming kills using Mobile Respawn Beacons, it’s impossible for the devs to know who is gaining RP fairly and who is not. Punishing boosters usually relies on the community exposing these players by catching them in the act, and one competitor did exactly that in their Ranked match. After being taken down by a set of Predator and Master Xbox players, they caught them red-handed boosting RP in the spectator screen. Predator Apex players caught red-handed boosting in Ranked During their Apex Legends Ranked match, Reddit user King-Juggernaut and their squad were pounced upon by two enemy squads who very clearly teamed up together. Although King and his allies put up a good fight, they were outnumbered and taken down by their opponents. Deciding to spectate their gameplay, it was immediately obvious that they were unfairly working together, and not only that, the Predator and Master players began to boost for RP. Using Mobile Respawn Beacons, the two groups could be seen killing each other and then resing their teammates to unfairly maximize their RP gains. While pressure to improve the game’s anti-cheat has been consistent over the past few seasons, boosting is another problem Respawn needs to address. As it doesn’t involve third-party software, it’s a lot harder to detect but with so many players using the unfair strategy in Masters and Predator, it devalues the achievement of reaching those ranks. Fingers crossed the devs can find a solution in the near future, as teaming and boosting appears to be getting worse.

Apex Legends streamer Mande claims strong abilities have pushed people away from playing Respawn Entertainment/Twitch MandeTSM streamer Mikkel ‘Mande’ Hestbek believes Apex Legends no longer feels like its original self as he says he can’t watch professional scrims anymore. Over the past few seasons, a number of Apex Legends fans and personalities have urged Respawn to make some sweeping changes. Many of these complaints have centered around legends being too strong, the servers not holding up, and just a general lack of excitement around the battle royale compared to the early days. A number of pros have walked away from the game, but, in the case of Mande, he’s continued to play it despite the fact he’s not competing anymore. Mande says he no longer watches Apex Legends games However, the Dane has stated he can longer watch the battle royale, specifically professional games, because of all the changes the game has gone through. “There are a lot of people that like Apex but don’t like playing it, they just watch it. I completely understand if they don’t play it anymore. Dude, I can’t watch it anymore,” the former pro said during a recent stream. Mande also noted the battle has become “75% ability and 25% shooter” whereas, originally, it was meant to be way more shooter-focused. “It’s just like, the game is not the game anymore – it’s not the same. There’s no way I’m the only one who thinks that. Sometimes, simple is just better,” he added. The Dane added that the abilities have become “too strong” and he’d remove around “50%” of things if he was given the option to make changes. “Me, personally, it ruins the game. It makes it not fun anymore,” he continued, urging Respawn to stop “pumping out” new legends. The Apex devs have previously said they’d slow their roll on adding legends every season and use some opportunities to overhaul pre-existing ones. Though, it remains to be seen if they’ll heed Mande’s call.

Apex Legends streamer Mande explains why EVA-8 is better than Peacekeeper Respawn Entertainment/Twitch MandeTSM Apex Legends streamer Mikkel ‘Mande’ Hestbek has explained why the EVA-8, often a disregarded weapon, is actually better than the popular Peacekeeper shotgun. When it comes to close-quarter combat in Apex Legends, ARs and SMGs are effective, but nothing can outmatch the raw firepower of a shotgun. The three primary choices are the Peacekeeper, EVA-8, and Mastiff which are all powerful in the Outlands, but a lot of the time players gravitate toward the PK. This is because the Peacekeeper’s shots can be charged up, decreasing the bullet spread and maximizing the damage output of the weapon. Well, according to TSM streamer Mande, the majority of Apex players should choose the EVA-8 over the PK as it’s significantly more “consistent” in gunfights. Mande explains why he uses EVA-8 over Peacekeeper During a recent stream, TSM content creator Mande was asked by one of his viewers whether he prefers the EVA-8 or the Peacekeeper shotgun. In response, he revealed that the EVA-8 does more “consistent damage” thanks to its semi-automatic fire rate. This means that if you miss a shot on an opponent in an intense skirmish, you can instantly continue firing, whereas with the PK it’s “GGs” if you make one mistake. “If I use EVA I know for a fact I’ll do consistent damage in a fight, I’ll at least pump out 100, but if I miss two PK shots I can die”. While the Peacekeeper is without a doubt a strong weapon, it requires pinpoint precision, especially when taking on a fully automatic weapon. This high-risk, high-reward playstyle is good for certain players and pros, but Mande values “consistency” over everything else, and that’s why he uses the EVA.

Apex Legends Season 21 set to remove game’s most controversial attachment Electronic ArtsOf all the attachments in Apex Legends, there is one that has always been a point of controversy among players. Many will thank the devs in Season 21 though, as Respawn has chosen to remove that very optic from Apex entirely. At the height of the so-called “can’t see s***” meta, Digital Threat sights were a savior for many Apex Legends players. The 4-10x that allows players to see through smoke and other obstructions is much harder to come by, so using the Digi-Threat at close range was the norm. However, the choice was made in Season 20 to remove them from SMGs and make them usable only on Pistols and Shotguns to try and nerf their relevance. But, even after that balance change, the choice was made to totally remove the 1x Digital Threat optic from the loot pool. This info comes from IGN ahead of the official patch notes release, confirming it as one of many gameplay changes coming in Season 21. But what makes this optic so effective, and why is it getting removed? After the scan meta passed, with Legends like Seer and Bloodhound receiving substantial nerfs, having your hands on a Digi-Threat sight was an absolute must against certain characters. Sure, it’s great for seeing through Caustic and Bangalore’s smoke, but the optic also made it much easier to track and spot enemies during hectic firefights. There’s a reason this optic was confined to close-range weapons; it’d be a must-have on long-range guns if it was available. However, only working with two weapon types drastically nerfs its viability and risks clarity. For instance, the Wingman couldn’t take the attachment because it was too powerful, but the sight not working one pistol out of them all was often confusing for players. So, it’s ultimately been taken out of the loot pool to prevent the nightmare of trying to balance it. There’s a chance it comes back in the future, but it won’t be around for Season 21. Its removal has the potential to completely change the Apex Legends meta for Season 21, making scanner Legends a bit more viable and changing the way Bangalore’s smoke in particular slots into the meta. All that said, this is according to early notes and gameplay overviews of Season 21 and is subject to change.

Apex Legends Season 16 moves Hemlok into Care Package with huge buffs Respawn EntertainmentApex Legends Season 16 is significantly buffing the Hemlok Burst AR and moving it into the Care Package with the Boosted Loader equipped. Finding a Care Package in the later stages of an Apex Legends match can be a game-changer, thanks to the valuable resources they can provide to you and your team. The most powerful aspect of these crates is without a doubt the weapons, which are immensely strong and deal increased damage in comparison to their counterparts. Well, in Season 16 with the Rampage returning to the ground, it’s the Hemlok that’s taking its spot in the Care Package. Not only that, the weapon is receiving a set of major damage buffs, making it more deadly than ever before. Hemlok buffed & added to Care Package in Apex Legends In Season 16, the Hemlok Burst AR will be added to the Care Package with the Rampage LMG returning to the ground. On top of this, the Hemlok is receiving major buffs, including increased damage and a better headshot multiplier, making the burst weapon extremely potent at long range. The gun will even come with the Boosted Loader hop-up equipped, which increases reload speed when you still have few rounds left, and overloads the next magazine with extra bullets. When discussing the Care Package Hemlok during the preview event, Lead Weapons Designer Eric Canavese promised that “when you get your hands on the crate version of it, you will absolutely shred”. So, it’s safe to say the devs are confident the Hemlok will dominate in Season 16, but as it’s in the Care Package, you’ll just have to keep your eyes peeled and be ready to takedown any teams contesting a crate.

Apex Legends reveal stream announced – how to watch, start time and more Respawn has confirmed the existence of Apex Legends and let everyone know when they can get their first look at the new game – revealing everything on Twitch. Apex Legends is the new battle royale game from Respawn Entertainment, the makers of the Titanfall franchise. The game was a complete mystery until a few big name streamers headed out to Los Angeles to play a secret battle royale game, teasing an almost imminent announcement for days, which was later rumored to be called Apex Legends. Read More: SOURCES: EA to secretly release free-to-play Titanfall battle royale as early as next week – Even more surprising was that this major game from Respawn was going to release right when it gets announced, a usually unheard of concept in AAA gaming. Although Apex was a poorly kept secret, it was not officially confirmed until a few top streamers started tweeting out that they had become “Apex Partners.” Vince Zampella, the head of Respawn, announced that there would be a reveal stream with a tweet during the Super Bowl. He tweeted: “Our stream starts at 8am pt and we’ll tell you everything about Apex Legends. Everything.” Looks like everything is unlocked now? Fun. So, if you like Respawn, our games or even me, you should tune in tomorrow. Our stream starts at 8am pt and we’ll tell you everything about Apex Legends. Everything. https://t.co/P0Svi1h5VS — Vince Zampella (@VinceZampella) February 4, 2019 Also included in the tweet was a link to a new Twitch account under the name Play Apex – more than likely where the first stream of the new game will take place. On the Twitch account is a new “A” logo that looks pretty similar to the same font used in the Titanfall logo. Zampella created the Modern Warfare series during his time with Infinity Ward, before a legal battle with Activision saw him split to start Respawn and create the Titanfall series. Titanfall and Titanfall 2 were both well-received but were held back in sales by licensing and marketing issues. Apex Legends, rumored to be a free game, is already being mentioned by top streamers like Shroud and CourageJD, so it may not have the same marketing problems. Aright broys the corp is allowing me to reveal some of the super secret stuff from Thursday’s super secret LA trip. This Monday we’ll be stomping in an all new Battle Royale by @Respawn. Maybe these guys will be there too. That is all. #ApexPartner pic.twitter.com/AgO9ra0LVE — Michael Grzesiek (@shroud) February 4, 2019 The reveal stream will go live on the Play Apex Twitch channel at 8 AM PT – which is 4 PM GMT/11 AM EST/10 AM CST and 3 AM AEST – with teasers for what is set to come later in the day. The full event will get underway a few hours later at 12 PM PT – 8 PM GMT/3PM EST/2PM CST and 6 AM AEST. Watch live video from playapex on www.twitch.tvAn image released ten months ago appears to have leaked the map that will be used in Apex Legends, with 16 named locations featuring on the image. With this being an old leak, it’s possible that the layout of the map may have changed, but it could give us a look at what we could get when the game launches. The Apex Legends map has reportedly been leaked pic.twitter.com/lKn1fl6liL — Apex Legends + Titanfall Intel (@TitanfallBlog) February 4, 2019 Seeing as top streamers like Shroud, Dr Disrespect and CourageJD have taken part in the marketing campaign, its likely to be a good bet that they will have some sort of role in the broadcast and may even show off more of the new title once the reveal stream has ended.

Apex Legends pros want Bangalore disabled over ‘one way smoke’ concerns Respawn EntertainmentApex Legends pros Nokokopuffs and NiceWigg have shared concerns over a Bangalore smoke exploit in Season 12, with the former competitive player even suggesting Respawn temporarily “disable” her. Since Apex Legends’ launch way back in early 2019, Bangalore has been a fan favorite legend thanks to her strong offensive abilities and all-round likeability. That popularity has remained well into Season 12, with the Professional Soldier remaining one of the most-picked legends. However, concerns have been raised over a potential exploit relating to her Tactical Smoke Launcher which, as it seems, allows her to obscure a large area with clouds of smoke. Tweeting on February 11, TSM’s Nokokopuffs asked: “Question… Is Bangalore broken right now? Or has it always been like this? I am seeing a whole lot of Bangalores and wasn’t understanding why. Is this why? is this a bug?” Attached to his query was a short clip showing an opposing player – Shooby – using Bangalore’s Tactical in a gunfight. From the perspective of the player, Bangalore becomes impossible to discern in clouds of smoke. However, when the Bangalore’s perspective is shown, she is able to clearly see through the plumes of smoke and lock her sights on her enemy, leading some to question whether this ‘one way smoke’ is at all fair. Question… Is bangalore broken rn? or has it always been like this. I am seeing a whole lot of bangalores and wasn’t understanding why. Is this why? is this a bug? (Shooby came from console i believe and bang is used a lot by console, this isnt me targeting him) pic.twitter.com/m9tOP0Wa4w — Noko (@Nokokopuffs) February 12, 2022 100 Thieves player NiceWigg chimed in to say that it’s “super bugged” and that it has the potential to be abused in games of all standards. Nokokopuffs, replying to Apex content creator sweetdreamsh1, even suggested that Bangalore be temporarily removed from the game because of the problems. He said: “They need to disable her low key LOL. This sh*t is insane.” Some players echoed the concerns shared by Apex’s prominent voices, but others countered them by suggesting Bangalore’s lack of buffs in recent seasons mean the exploit has kept her viable in Apex’s changing meta. Respawn have not yet signaled their intentions with regards to ‘one way smokes’, but the player base will want answers if the exploit becomes widespread.

Apex Legends players devastated as “moaning” Ash quip removed Respawn EntertainmentAsh was the newest character introduced in Apex Legends Season 11, and the offense-heavy Legend made quite an impact. But one of her quips has arguably made the biggest impression as Respawn has decided to update one of her lines that contained moaning sounds. For reasons that we obviously don’t need to do a deep dive into, Ash’s moaning quip has obviously created discussion amongst Apex Legends players. The fearsome Legend isn’t one of the most picked in the game, but she is still viable. It was clear though that her character and personality were being overshadowed by one infamous quote, featuring one famous sound. As a result, Respawn Entertainment have finally decided to act and alter the dialogue. Apex players moan about Ash quip change Two separate Apex Legends Reddit posts have expressed their disappointment at the quip being adjusted. “They nerfed ash in the new update” and “This voice line got a nerf?” both made reference to the update. The original voice line began with Ash making a rather questionable moaning sound, regardless of the context, and would say: “She’s going to gloat about this all day.” Due to the nature of the moan, players would assign it to Ash and spam it during games of Apex Legends. It seems like the devs have realized how much of an impact it was having and have decided to remove the sound of a moan altogether, leaving only the original line of dialogue. Across the two posts were a variety of comments regarding the change. fyre04 declared her “Literally unusable” now and 0DarkChar0 expressed their disappointment too: “Of course, the only quip I spent crafting materials on.” AcoHead amusingly exclaimed: “This is the biggest nerf to any legend I’ve ever seen.” Many users believe this will just abandon the use of Ash, and, in particular, continue the abuse and spam of other lines instead. GoTeamScotch offered a simple and logical solution: “Soooo why didn’t they just put quips on a cooldown? Doesn’t that pretty much solve every complaint from every quip?” It does seem to be an ideal solution to prevent any further quip spam. In any case, Apex Legends players will always have their memories of the OG line, and YouTube.

Apex Legends players flock to The Finals as BR becomes “unplayable” Respawn/Embark StudiosApex Legends players have praised The Finals for its fun gunplay and intuitive movement mechanics, with many hailing it as a “breath of fresh air.” The Finals is the latest Battle Royale game that has caught the attention of FPS players, especially those from the Apex Legends community. Not only does it offer fluid movement mechanics, but it also features environmental destructibility, unique character abilities, and great gunplay. Many Apex Legends fans have been enjoying The Finals so much, that they have begun to flock to the game. The community has begun to highlight exactly why the new FPS game feels like such a “breath of fresh air” when compared to Respawn’s BR title. Apex Legends fans highlight why The Finals is so “refreshing” “Apex has movement but that’s it,” said one player. “Everything in The Finals is just as good or better without having to touch an EA game. On top of that, you don’t have to loot! It’s amazing man I hate looting so much such a waste of time.” Others were keen to highlight the reasons as to why they quit playing Apex Legends and have instead opted to spend their time in The Finals. “I gave Apex a shot two days ago after a couple of months,” commented another player. “Quickly reminded why I quit. Borderline unplayable matchmaking, abysmal servers, and lack of any meaningful or fun content. The Finals just needs to keep cooking and listening to players.” Another Apex fan also agreed that The Finals is the better game, despite having spent a significant amount of time in Respawn’s BR. “Spent some 1k hours in Apex and this is by far such a better game. Mostly cause Apex has fallen into disrepair, is political, and started removing content. So refreshing to also have such stable servers and hitreg. Balance is fun. Why did Titanfall have to die for this… And I’m not even on the fence anymore. Straight up uninstalled Apex.” It’s certainly clear that Apex Legends fans have been enjoying The Finals, but many players will be hoping Respawn will reignite the community’s interest in the game with the release of Season 20.

Apex Legends players demand nerf to “overpowered” Nemesis AR Respawn EntertainmentApex Legends players are desperate for Respawn to nerf the “overpowered” Nemesis AR and have already suggested ways of balancing the weapon. Season 16 of Apex Legends introduced the TDM mode, reworked Legend classes, and an improved Firing Range. However, out of the additions, it’s the Nemesis AR that’s had the biggest impact on the overall meta thanks to its overwhelming firepower. This burst weapon deals lethal damage at long range and has minimal recoil, so it’s extremely easy to land every single bullet. As a result, the community wants to see Respawn hit the “overpowered” Nemesis with major nerfs, and have even come up with the best solution to keep it balanced. Apex Legends players think “no recoil” Nemesis AR needs nerf Taking to Reddit on February 17, user Intrepid-Event-2243 decided to ask the community whether they think the Nemesis is “overpowered” and how they would nerf the gun. In response, countless players revealed that the biggest problem with the Nemesis is that it “has no recoil and can shred a full shield with one burst”. Others think they need to completely “rework the rate of fire” as it’s too fast and makes it far too powerful at long range. It’s clear a lot of pros agree that the Nemesis is too strong, with ImperialHal even labeling the gun as “busted” on a recent stream. Out of all the ideas to fix the weapon, reducing the “damage by 1” and making it so it “only charges when hitting the target” was by far the most popular. This would reward players for being accurate with the gun, instead of just instantly allowing them to ramp up with poorly aimed shots. It’s clear players want the AR altered to reduce its power, so it’ll be interesting to see if Respawn opts to make changes in the near future, or at a later date.

Apex Legends players claim Season 20 finally made Mirage worth playing Respawn EntertainmentThe new Legend upgrade system is giving new life to many of Apex Legends’ “low-tier” Legends. Mirage is at the forefront of the list, with fans claiming he might be the “best combat medic” in-game. Season 20 of Apex Legends sees the game receive one of its biggest updates to date — the Legend upgrade system. With it, each playable character has a unique set of perks to choose from, creating some variance in the tried and true battle royale formula. So far, the results have been interesting, with some players labeling some of the perks as useless. Others have had far better results, with Legends like Ash seeing new life. Mirage is another character trending in the right direction with the new season, with fans claiming he might be better than support characters like Lifeline and Newcastle. Apex Legends player claims Mirage is the “best combat medic” in-game With Season 20, Respawn Entertainment seems to be going all in on Mirage’s Support nature. Leveling up the trickster in-game rewards players with some great perks, such as Miracle Worker, which revives allies with health regeneration, and Bamboozle Bonus, which instantly refreshes hit tactical ability if someone falls for a decoy. These changes alone are massive and on the Apex Legends subreddit, players are now claiming they make him really good. “Mirage is actually so good now,” one player states. “You get the Health Revive perk, and it’s over. You’re the best combat medic in the game. Your teammate goes down? Revive invisible AND they get health,” continue while listing the cons of fellow Support Legends like Lifeline’s healing drone and Gibby needing his shield for added healing bonuses. For the unaware, Mirage’s passive lets him cloak while reviving enemies. Provided you pick the Miracle Worker level 2 perk, Mirage will revive enemies with health regen up to 75 HP. Unfortunately, it doesn’t stack with gold knockdown shields, as one player noted in the replies. One response stated: “They REALLY wanted Mirage to be good with the skills. The fact that he gets the good revive a tier ahead of others is honestly kinda silly.” Other players felt his perks favoring his ultimate and trickster nature offered a better payoff. “-30 seconds to his ultimate is really amazing, it’s up all the time and ready for every fight. Huge advantage for downing multiple players,” one player said regarding Mirage’s “More Me” perk. However, no matter what you spec your Mirage, it seems like Apex Legends’ Season 20 might be his season to truly shine.

Apex Legends players demand anti-cheat features from Warzone 2 Respawn EntertainmentApex Legends players are demanding that the devs take inspiration from Warzone for a new anti-cheat feature. Sadly, there are cheaters in basically every game, as it’s almost impossible for devs to tackle the problem completely. Although, thankfully, players have anti-cheat on their side, and while it’s not perfect, it certainly helps in the battle against cheaters. The Apex Legends community has been fairly critical of the battle royale’s cheat detection, and have called for improvements several times. Likewise, earlier in April, CoD’s anti-cheat Ricochet got a major upgrade — improving various mitigation techniques such as cloaking, disarm, and damage shield, and now Apex players are demanding for the devs to take inspiration. Apex fans propose devs copy CoD anti-cheat On April 21, Apex Legends player ‘pt_picasso’ posted a Reddit thread suggesting the Respawn devs take a page out of Activison’s book, proposing they copy CoD’s anti-cheat. “Just wanted to show what CoD is doing to their cheaters. How is it that the competition can do a better job at banning, and humiliating cheaters, while Apex just lets them run rampant and ruining it for the rest of us?” the player wrote. However, others have noted it’s not as simple as it may seem for Respawn to replicate, with the technology still being fairly new. “You act like this tech isn’t in it’s infancy and just barely started to roll out lol. We don’t even know how effective it is,” one wrote. Earlier this year, Respawn Security Analyst Conor ‘Hideouts’ Ford gave some insight as to how cheaters can bypass the anti-cheat — explaining how the incredibly advanced cheating software that can bypass the current system. Although, regardless, the devs still claim that “tens of thousands of bad actors” are banned every week.

Apex Legends players claim SBMM system is “killing” the game RespawnApex Legends players have hit out at developers’ philosophy with skill-based matchmaking, with fans claiming the current system is “killing” the game. Skill-based matchmaking (SBMM) is featured in just about every multiplayer game out there now, and it’s absolutely crucial in determining the players you’re matched with in games like Apex Legends. Though the goal of putting you among players at a similar skill level is an attempt to make it a fair playing ground, Apex players often get frustrated with the system. It’s believed that the standard SBMM approach takes into account stats such as K.D, playtime, rank, and more. However, many fans believe Respawn have included recent performances in their algorithm for Apex Legends, which they claim is “killing” the game. Apex players claim SBMM is “killing” the game In a November 13 Reddit thread, Apex player ‘Riflejustbadengine’ hit out at the SBMM system, and kicked off a community-wide discussion on the matter. “It’s pretty common knowledge at this point, but the apex devs have said that they purposefully make games easier or harder based on past performances,” the player wrote. “What is different about how Respawn does it, is they will make sure the highs are super out of reach and the lows are extremely below your current skill level. “This is why you can get in the top 3 teams at level 200 and suddenly get places in a masters three-stack pubs. Respawn’s justification for this awful system is that this improves and lengthens playtime.” They continued: “It also makes people stop playing much earlier as well. Who wants to play against a three-stack pred team in pubs? The answer is practically zero.” “My question is how are these two games anywhere close to the same skill level? Should good SBMM slowly increase and decrease based on average performance instead of saying, you got close to a win, so we are going to punish you with the hardest lobby we can create. “Honestly, the issue is just that, punishing players for good games by placing them in lobbies they are intended to lose in,” the player added. While no one but the devs knows how the system actually works, other players added in their thoughts, many of which agreed that the system has its flaws. “It’s a cruel sbmm you literally getting railed first couple of games then sbmm throws you a bone and give you an easier lobby you do well and it’s back to sweatville,” one wrote. “Once you know how the SBMM works, the game becomes almost insulting and extremely unfun,” said another. Although it hasn’t been proven that SBMM takes your recent performance into consideration, fans certainly want some changes to the system. With Season 16 set to kick off in February, there’s plenty of time for the devs to make some improvements.

Apex Legends players can’t unsee this spicy Charge Rifle skin Respawn EntertainmentAn Apex Legends player noticed that a Charge Rifle skin in the battle pass a little more than vaguely resembles something else entirely, and players are having a hard time unseeing it. Cosmetic items are a huge part of Apex Legends. Players are willing to drop hundreds of dollars on decking out their favorite Legends and weapons, and there are a ton of skins to choose from. That said, not all skins are created equal. Collection events and battle passes are often themed around the very best (and most expensive) skins in the game, with other recolors and smaller cosmetics sprinkled in to give players more to work toward. However, an Apex Legends player noticed that a skin for the Charge Rifle on the Season 16 battle pass was a bit of a hidden surprise, with it bearing a striking resemblance to something that normally wouldn’t be used as a weapon. Apex Legends skin accidentally evokes spicy imagery Rare skins aren’t usually the talk of the town when it comes to Apex Legends. They tend to fill out the battle pass and give players enough rewards to work towards to fill out an 100-level pass like the one for Season 16. Players are often pining for legendary skins with flashy new look for their favorite weapons. But there are some cases where an epic or even rare skin rises to the occasion and does something innovative with the base model. This isn’t one of those cases. Apex Legends players can’t unsee the horrors of this Charge Rifle skin from the battle pass, and it’s hard to say whether or not its appearance was intentional. The rather fleshy appearance of this Charge Rifle’s barrel paired with the unseen depths that lie within its dark void has certainly started a conversation in the Apex Legends community. A conversation that isn’t exactly safe for work. On the bright side, this skin has gotten more attention than many of the legendary skins in the game. For players who like the way it looks, it’s got great bang for your buck value.
