RR Armored Core Wiki Project

Sun, 12 Feb 2023 01:05:04 -0500

So Grim and I've decided to revive our old Encyclopedia Republika AC wiki. I feel like we have a bit more traction and (momentary) motivation this time.

In general, I'd like the wiki to be sort of an English version of the Japanese Armored Core Forever atwiki. We're more interested in archiving things like hidden stats, quirks and mechanics from all the games in the series -- Info that will ultimately be useful for building ACs. Lore and trivia fluff is low priority.
Here's a sample WIP page: https://ravenrepublic.net/wiki/MasterofArena/FCS

As you might've noticed, we're working toward comprehensive sortable tables for ease of comparing parts.
So the bulk of the initial work is really in tabulating the stats per part category per game. Here's my initial spreadsheet for MoA parts: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1...r2tTU/edit

If someone can script an info scraper or something for this, then all the better.
And in case you want to contribute or something, just let us know.

Reviving 3rd Gen PVP Resources

Tue, 20 Dec 2022 23:28:39 -0500

With the hype for ACVI I wanted to get back to something I wanted to do some years ago and compile resources on playing 3rd Gen PVP for preservation/accessibility.
Over the years we've lost a lot of other AC forums & fansites that held a lot of information that is now gone and not publicly archived at least. I remember there being old long dicussion threads on viable parts/weapons and why, maximizing defensive values and optimizing tunes in LR, etc that are now gone. I've spent the past week or so searching around and the Republic is one of the last few places with threads of information about it, even going so far as dig through wayback machine links and other sources.

The original goal geared towards LR was to have important resources for playing and understanding the metagame archived in an easily accessible format similar to a fighting game wiki.

Fundamental knowledge on the meta, techniques and how to perform them (Overboost movement techniques, playstyle techniques like jousting, etc), video resources that explain and show techniques or pvp focused gameplay, building guides that at the very least go over the meta parts and why you would use one or the other.

I managed to wayback machine find a full ver of Mechadon's Jousting guide for LR specifically and gave it a few read-overs and information like that would be even better reupdating them and giving video resources to accompany and explain the information it tries to go over as an example.

Any information like this getting resurfaced or even resparking discussion with these topics in mind would be great!

Even if it doesn't bring in people trying out AC to explore 3rd Gen PVP for themselves I think it is very unique and worth preserving information for playing it and would like to help.
I've considered making some videos on my own but the gaps in my own experience and knowledge are too wide currently.

New to NX, Veteran of LR: Help?

Sun, 17 Apr 2016 00:58:45 -0400

So, I purchased Nexus some time ago, but have never played it.

*I HAVE ALREADY SPOILED THE STORY; SO SPOILERS ARE WELCOME*

I started Armored Core at AC2, then AC2:AA. After that I played AC:SL, AC:NB, and finally AC:LR. After that Armored Core for PSOne and AC:MOA. Finally AC4 and AC:FA. Essentially everything EXCEPT Nexus.

Note: I only used Nine Breaker for a file conversion. It was cheaper than Nexus... I found out why later.

My question to the veterans of the forum is not-so simple, but comprehensive and straight forward.

1: What are the differences in heat-energy management. I've booted up the game and realized I had 10,000 EN Supply. In LR, 4,000+ was extremely good, is it roughly double, or not?

2: Starting AC from scratch? I like mid-weights... a lot. More than I'd care to admit. However quads and light weights are my favorites, what are practical short-term parts. (Generator/Radiator/Booster combos also acceptable, as they're most important early on.)

3: Notable weapon differences? Anything garbage in LR that is good, broken or at least usuable in NX? The MG is a given... as it's on another thread.

B: Not needed, but, are Ground Torpedos not impossibly useless here? I like them, but they suckin just about every game. Also, are bazookas also really bad in NX? And the save mechanic. Please... please explain this. It's soooo weird...

Aside from this, any and all tips and input is welcome. I have just never played Nexus, and what little I got from playing around told me this was quite different.

Thanks much in advance.

P.S. I got my very first new laptop! Ever. *I come from poor people, and live in America.* So I disappeared from everywhere for ungodly amounts of time as I explored the wonderful world of non-DOS technology.

Competitive Building, LR

Fri, 02 Oct 2015 01:21:06 -0400

I'm currently running 4 ACs.

Rebel.

A humanoid middle/heavy hybrid.

E2 Core with Lefty Grenade rifle (Jack-O) and PYTHON.

Middleweight SL Arms. F73 sw Lock box.

KINNARA L. Back

MEDUSA deeks.

I'm using ss2 extensions, but the ai is too easy, so it's 5there to slow me down. :p

1701 en and shell defense w/o exts.

FA legs, gull boosters.

G91/ANANADA.

Old head from AC1, Boss Savage's.

AC Deathmask

Quad design with MV2 and MG weapon arms.

A LADON sniper with BIRDIE 2s and a Rakan for peek a boo. Uses RENGA for AMS, URCHIN insides. LadyB head, no radar... (Much oversight, wow.)

Uses those heavy crest quads. GP... 94? The heavy 11000 output model with LINDEN for back door cooling.

ND lock box with 990 range.

AC Flare Falcon

Sniper jouster with OB.

B81/UL2 running R69 tuned full cooling and the G... 86? The one under the 91 model.

RS/HP on MACAQUE arms with LB hangered.

Radar head H84SE or something like that.

RJs, not the GOAT... The crest ones.

Geryon 2 for AP leading. Squat thrust for great justice!

Max range ND lock box, normally useless, but great for those effing kamikaze tick MTs at that kne reactor protection mission.

AC Wonder Wasp

HPS Shotty with Gaea/LB2 on LANGUR Arms.

SAYAKATSURA on the L.Back Hardpoint.

SYAMANAs inside, but those aren't sporting in the ring.

Running G91/HAZEL with VULTUTRE2s on Jaguar2 legs.

Cicada head.

MIROKU lock box.

I've started the game again, but w/o converting. 116% complete.

I've followed Vesperas, and lurked around some of the things written by RR and ACO members. I lurk the ACgarage too.

Any tips?

Need help with Armored Core: Nexus

Wed, 15 Apr 2015 17:30:48 -0400

I've returned to Armored core after several years and I'm realizing that... I honestly have no clue what most of the stats mean. I vaguely understand them but I was hoping perhaps someone might know more exactly the math behind
Defense vs damage? How exactly does the math work here?
Calorific Value (What is it?)
Jump Performance (what does it define exactly?)
Attack heat vs cooling? Same question as with damage.

So.. yeah.

Hidden Parts

Fri, 10 Oct 2014 13:51:09 -0400

Hey, I just had a little doubt concerning a part from LR Portable, and that's the FUNI extensions used by Zinaida, Rim Fire, and 2448. I just can't find them, any help?

S-Ranking Destroy AI Prototype

Sun, 09 Mar 2014 01:25:57 -0500

Hello all ravens. I'm "new" to the series and am enjoying AC very much. I'm currently finishing up on Silent Line but am having trouble getting an S on one mission. In fact it's the only mission which isn't S.

It's hard to get information about this mission and I've tried various sites. Actually it's the reason I joined RR - not the only reason though.

In case forgotten, Destroy AI Prototype is that mission with a resupply vehicle at the beginning, wire fences, unmanned quad and hover MTs, squads of high-end MTs, and an infinite deployment of AI ACs at the end. Quite a long mission and not exactly fun replaying it over and over.

On my best attempt, I destroyed all enemies and cargo, no resupplies, destroyed 2 AI ACs and ended the mission with 72XX/95XX AP. I used energy weapons and sturdy but cheap parts - BEE, GRP, CASK and SHUT.

I'd like to know how you guys did it. thanks in advance.

Compatibility Pack Issues

Fri, 08 Nov 2013 21:56:34 -0500

Hi Everyone,

Im sure you dont know me (Hi btw) But I could use some help on getting the game to play online. (Not sure if this is the appropriate board for it but I hope i chose right)

Basically Im playing on a US psn account from the Philippines and I finally decided to try out VDs online play (after beating the single player campaign)

so off I go and connect my ethernet cable to my Ps3, patch my game and then Im prompted to download the compatibility pack. I select the ok button and am taken to the psn page and I am greeted by the "no content was found" message.

No biggie - I search for it manually Download it , Install it then I still get the same error message, get taken to the same PSN page and get the same "no content was found message".

At this point i just googled It with a few relevant results but no solution in sight.

Did you guys get the same problem?
Since most of us are from the philippines I assume we buy our games at the same shops (datablitz in my case) and have the same disk region (mine is R3/US PSN account)

Any tips on how i can get around this? I played V but didnt really get any problems like this.

Really hoping i can play this weekend

Transforming Arms?

Mon, 30 Sep 2013 12:57:35 -0400

Yeah I was wondering when I get access to those sleek transforming arm parts?

My ranks are non-existent, but I needs dem.

Transforming shoulders??? (AC:VD)

Mon, 30 Sep 2013 12:34:56 -0400

Hey I just got ACVD yesterday, almost literally salivating over having access to those slick transforming arm parts...however, I don't know where to find them.

Not having a ranked team might be an issue with this....

Thu, 15 Nov 2012 14:19:46 -0500

Here's the deal fellow ravens there's a part this mission where there is a door that is damaged but my ac pulls targets from the other side of it. I've destroyed everything else to make sure and its still pulling targets..I've sat at the door with a CLB-LS-3771 because of the 2300 atk power the blade has but it wont move..anyone within the raven fold has a idea on what to do?
