PVP veteran dismisses Armored Core 6 criticism amid preview drama Bandai NamcoArmored Core 6\u2019s PVP preview aired on August 19 and the showing has some fans of the franchise concerned. Top-ranked Armored Core PVP player and showcase attendee Oroboro chimed in to address the fearful speculation. Armored Core 6 is less than a week away from its August 25 launch and Bandai Namco finally unveiled PVP footage of the game just a few days ago. The publisher invited YouTubers Oroboro and FightinCowboy to duke it out in Armored Core 6\u2019s multiplayer arena. The initial showing of Armored Core 6\u2019s 1V1 mode had a particular leg type dominating the battles. FightinCowboy absolutely bodied top-ranked PVP player Oroboro using a tank tread build in a brutal bout. Since the footage released, the game\u2019s community has been vocally critical of what they see as an imbalance in the game\u2019s builds. Oroboro published a video on his YouTube channel in an effort to quiet the concerns. Are tanks too powerful in Armored Core 6 PVP? Oroboro gave further insight into the particular limitations of the showcase to explain why Tanks seemed to perform so much better. \u201cWe were limited to using only chapter 1 parts so this is equivalent to playing Souls PVP at level 10,\u201d he explained. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t mean anything.\u201d \u201cTanks are very strong, but they\u2019re not as strong as people think,\u201d Oroboro continued. He clarified that certain parts unlocked later in the game will \u201cgive tanks a much harder time\u201d when it comes to closing gaps. Another concern from some long-time fans of Armored Core has been the new hard lock-on present in Armored Core 6. Oroboro addressed this too explaining \u201cHard lock-on is really only good at close ranges. At any other range you have massively reduced accuracy\u201d. The YouTuber argues that there\u2019s still no room for predictions on a meta for Armored Core 6. \u201cIt\u2019s way too early to tell if anything\u2019s going to be overpowered,\u201d he said. \u201cPeople need to give it some time and see how it plays.\u201d The high AP (health) for tanks and their considerable damage output could make them a strong choice in Armored Core 6\u2019s early PVP landscape. More health allows more room for mistakes and bigger damage means it takes less successful hits to down an opponent. Still, most players likely won\u2019t engage with the game\u2019s PVP until they\u2019ve completed the campaign and unlocked a full arsenal of customization options. Despite the initial concerns, Oroboro says he\u2019s incredibly excited about Armored Core 6\u2019s PVP. \u201cI think there\u2019s massive potential here.\u201d For more on Armored Core 6, check out our pre-release coverage and guides: Armored Core 6: How to get OST chip upgrades | Armored Core 6: How to Stagger enemies with Impact meter | Armored Core 6: How to save & use checkpoints | Is Armored Core 6 open world? | Does Armored Core 6 have multiplayer? | Is Armored Core 6 coming to Nintendo Switch? | Armored Core 6 pre-order bonus & edition differences | Is Armored Core 6 coming to Xbox Game Pass? | Does Armored Core 6 have crossplay?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
