I cannot remember the specific weapon names or internal parts, for the most part, as I had to sell all of my games to afford food...

I couldn't get the screenshot account to work for me in-game, either, so I had taken a picture with my phone back when I had it.

Head - HF-227 [Howard Coleman Custom]
Core - C03 Malicious
Arms - UTSUSEMI Mdl.4 [Theodora Custom]
Legs - L03 FreQuency

The resemblance to Blue Magnolia's craft is pure coincidence-- I had almost that same build when I first encountered her, and the dichotomy felt AMAZING.

RX18-CALEB ver. HCWA

Mon, 20 Jan 2014 07:05:16 -0500

Note: The core and left arm weapon have not yet been updated in the preview.

The name: I'm really embarrassed to admit but RX18 is a code that the girl and I use. R stands for Reginald, X is for XL (yes, that's her real name), and 18 is our anniversary. Rx is also used in the field of medicine and made it easier to hide our relationship while she was still working here in the Middle East. Even more embarrassing to admit, Caleb (one of the two faithful scouts, the other being Joshua, who returned to Moses after a recon mission to Canaan) is the name we are planning to give our first male child in the future.

The build: I'm paper-thin, seriously. Someone with medium missiles once flanked me and it only took two volleys to take me down. I ate Flau's mini-Sawa and BR in free battle and I went down in less than a couple of minutes. This is not a "hero" build. It works best with support from Arrui's CIWS, Zeph's and Flau's presence (Kuroko...err, Arrui is a terrible decoy), or Zero's plasma gun that obstructs their field of vision.

I have 24 shots with the Weapon Arms, each doing 2 - 4k or 4 - 8k (if both shells connect) damage each depending on the enemy's CE defense but with low muzzle velocity. The patch improved the lock-on time and it is now comparable to a battle rifle's. Works best on heavies, tanks, and even quads (I love quads that just hover and snipe people, I get 3 shots in before they even notice me so that's 12k damage in just 5 or 6 seconds). Lightweights can be hit up close on occasion and if it does, it knocks them out of the air and gives me another free hit.

The pile is either used at the very beginning or when I'm being outgunned while equipped with the Heat Cannons. I used to have a blade on the right arm but I replaced it with a PMG for those pesky LW bladers.

In the short time I used this build, here is what usually happens:

- 15 seconds in during the match, Enemy Destroyed message appears while Zeph cackles, he apparently piled a member of the opposing team.
- 4 vs 3. Flau goes into a skirmish against 2 ACs while the other member is chasing Zeph. Arrui and I shoots at anything within range.
- One of two things can happen, we take the opposing team down one by one or I go outside of area (humiliation ensues) while another one goes down then the remaining two in the team finishes the rest off.
- Then there was that time where Cross got piled, I got kicked by a tank while I was beside him, and Zeph got sniped by Arrui twice...

ACVD: Komurasaki

Sun, 19 Jan 2014 02:54:06 -0500

I guess it's about time I posted my staple AC design as well. This AC was inspired by AC4/AC4A pilot Serene Haze and Komurasaki from Unbreakable Machine Doll. It is intended for a support fire role; laying cover fire, luring enemy ACs, and draining enemy AP to induce stress while the killers go about their business. I have been playing like this ever since I joined you guys and have gotten a little more used to it. The frame itself should be versatile enough to adapt to any close to mid range loadout. Without further ado, let me introduce my constant partner, Komurasaki:

There it is. Any comments or suggestions are appreciated.

Edit: I changed the core listed here from mdl.2 to mdl.3. It took me a bit of time to notice the error.

GREETINGS, one and all! I am the ever-the-same, foolish newbie White_Rain (PSN: Helldog_spawn), bringing you the data of a project of mine - HYPERION.

Some background before the actual information (skip if you so wish):
What started out as a simple wanting of an effective Armored Core, which was decent in Armored Core V due to ignorance of the best way to tune (I just went with whatever improved the most on my AC then, so it was pretty weak in the DEF specs due to focusing on unimportant aspects), changed drastically - and for the better - as I joined you kind folk in the Raven Republic team on Verdict Day. It's gone through its trials, its tribulations, and it had to go through many a change in everything - I had to ditch my Gatling gun, and now my load out is MUCH more well-rounded, and it even had a brief period of time going from Heavy Bipedal to Heavy TETRAPOD, which was certainly a bit of a change for me to adjust to. Nevertheless, with the VERY helpful assistance from Arrui and R.Leonhardt, the insight I gained from their advice, and the battle skill I acquired from this absolutely unforgiving lovable-nightmare-of-a-game that nearly competes with Dark Souls as "Most Difficult Game Ever", this AC has gone beyond its predecessor from the game before, performing miraculous feats left and right, proving its strength in the battlefield. It may be considered done, but with the new parts that start coming in as I grow in pilot rank...
the journey to the end of the cycle of Hyperion's development continues to elude me. There's still work to be done.

>NOTE: My TV's not an HDTV, so it makes the text REALLY hard to read (Seriously, FROM/Bamco? Those are the two complaints I have with this game - so many menu screens, and text you can't read unless your TV is the size of your entire wall.). Apologies if I mess up any of the names, and do please correct me.<

Accomplishments/Feats:
1) Surviving a direct hit by the most powerful H.E.A.T. Pile Driver in AC:VD with 15K+ AP left (out of 43,210 AP)
2) Defeating 4 Reaper Squad Soldiers in one run without any assistance, human or UNAC, one first and then the other 3 all at once, and THEN causing Maggy (Blue Magnolia) to retreat after running out of ammo and doing one daring Boost Charge.
3) Defeating the final boss N-WGIX ("Black Glint", as some call him) with 5K AP left and a lack of ammo.
-All of these are practically miracles, but the AC's performance has significantly increased because, well, I've gotten a lot better at this game-

If you wish for me to go further in-depth with anything listed, I will do so.
Questions? Comments? Concerns? Any ideas for improvement? Let me know in a reply! Special thanks to Arrui and R.Leonhardt for guiding me to a stronger AC, but the journey is not over yet.

Unnamed Heavy

And here's the frame without the weapons loadout.

I'm preparing this one for the patch if we ever get it. I love Tolima legs and seeing Hell Heart use one made me want to use it again. LOL. It's the only leg type I used in ACV along with gatling guns, pilebunkers, and CIWS.

1700 KE, 1413 CE, and 2429 TE defense. Will that be enough? I'm quite mobile but I haven't field tested this thoroughly and might end up succumbing to triple battle rifles (tested it on some UNACs with triple battle rifles and medium missiles in the workshop and I can't win against them in a damage race).

Weapons: I have a Strek and Tansy in the image but I found the muzzle velocity leaves a lot to be desired. I can only hit heavies and tanks with it from more than 100 range even with orange lock. I can wield a Karasawa or a gatling gun and triple-shot battle rifle but I'm open to other suggestions.

Medium missiles are powerful and can easily knock out anything it is effective against (8 missiles per volley and hits more often than not). The only problem I have with it is ammo.

So yeah, I need comments and some tests in free battle one of these days.

Bloody Unicorn 2.0

High Mobilty, High Def, Heavy-Weight Assault type (so kewl)

Destroy enemies for glorious motherland.

Pilebunker pesky tank-creatures to destroy them like Russian destroys ten bottles of Vodka before breakfast.

Use superior mid-range shotgun with high accuracy to puncture targets with buckshot like bear punctures the houses of bees during hungry winter nights.

Use three-shot Battle Rifle at close range for true burst action like Russian fighter plane destroys puny foreigner base.

Finally rain deadly blue balls of lightning on your enemy like a true Russian rains hot shrapnel onto battlefield without care in world.

Use weapons in tandem on unsuspecting enemies and watch them panic as their screen is covered in blue lightning of true justice.

This is my lightweight.

Although the image shows me wielding a battle rifle, I already replaced that with a sniper rifle since it's easier to hit with it than the former. Also, I usually wear a shield on my left arm during the start for extra protection since I take a bit of time scanning enemies before picking a target to chase.

I'm loving the laser rifles. I tried both the AM/LRA-229 and Murasaki mdl. 3 and had success with both but I seem to favor the Murasaki more because of the lower usage and charge time. I used to have a battle rifle on the left arm but the muzzle velocity leaves a lot to be desired so I just went with a high-powered sniper rifle with almost the same muzzle velocity as the laser rifle. It's also easier to fire the sniper every 2 or 3 shots of the laser rifle than using something else with a higher rate of fire. I still have a pilebunker (now the 60k one) for hitting unsuspecting tanks and, of course, killing teammates.

I've been watching everyone play and I think I've found a play-style that suits me. I used to jump around, trying to land 6 BR shots up-close with blue lock (and wasting ammo) but using the laser rifle taught me to position myself a bit better (somewhere out of the enemy's sights) and keep a somewhat steady aim before firing. I also love chasing panicked opponents now and the laser rifle works wonders in picking the last bit of AP they have left. Being a lightweight also allows me to chase them much easier than as a middleweight. Got so many kills as a merc for Vagrant Guns doing that last night (normal sorties).

Sooo~ I just wanna share the current build I'm using in ACV.

I wish i know how to use those jammers effectively, so i can replace the bay weapons into them and just be a troll for the team.

Or the Mifeng can be used up for weight reduction in favor of prolonged utilization of the Phoenix sentry (I doubt this will be the usual case, since it's not fast enough, unless the target is a tank)

When both Arm Units are dispose of it's all up to the Arachide x KO-3K2 (and shoulder unit) to do the damage under a higher speed.

The point in this setup is all purpose

like EPIKPHAILGUY use to say "All purpose serves no purpose"

But I'll do it anyway XD

(Click to enlarge photos)

About time I uploaded my AC xD

So far this is the one I have the most fun piloting, and rather most efficient for my playstyle, it rarely changes layout for most missions (save for the long ones -_- ) but it was built with killing an AC in mind.

I have the Kara for softening up a big target, rifle for prolonged engagements. While on the left is a murakumo for close range and
BR for when I CQC is a dangerous option. I ran with energy blades for a time, but somehow I enjoy using the physical blade instead, plus they don't consume energy that's better off used for getting out of dodge.

(couldn't resist making a gif)

This hasn't gone up against a human opponent yet (thesis doesn't quite let me go online for extended periods) I had an earlier version but this by far surpasses it.

Quite frankly, I enjoyed putting 'design' to this, inspired by Jehuty/Tron lines. Still trying to get a hang of the decal/emblem controls before I dare attempt making some drawing emblems.

Also, is this thing a cookie cutter of sorts? I haven't dabbled long enough online to find out what's overused and what's not. Any comments on this setup?

uvf-17

my attempt to port over my staple to ACV
mostly for 1v1, but in also good in team battles

anything other than a heavy rj, dual streks
when encountering a hrj, drop the steks and bring out the dual pulse.

the usf-17 is great for stunning lightweights in their tracks.

admitttedly, I tried using the weapon combination on hell hearts 40K AP mid weight. and it fit perfectlty.
It turns out to be a much more superior design.
but with 1 glaring weakness.

so I have both weapon setups equipped in 2 different frames.
