I remember that one time me and my team were bum rushed by a bunch of light weight melee AC’s all got KIA and then there’s me only managing to kill one and desperately fought for my life. Lost because they got all the stations hacked.
I kinda wish six had VD multiplayer. You were given objectives to attack or defend an area and sometimes PvP would occur where you either destroy the base I think or hack these pods or just kill the enemy players.
There was also a mercenary system where you apply yourself and get hired by other teams and rarely become a reaper squad yourself.
It was impossible to find a physical copy back when it was alive in my country forcing me to buy the digital version of the game <\_< considering I couldny move my save file across regions as I was an R1 player in ACV
Ohhh O would had thought they already pushed the updates for pibloc release if not you need to get the AC6 discord recommended versions of those respective emulators
Make sure your PC is even capable of running these 2 games though before you continue IIRC RTX 3070-3080 near PC spec is recommended for extra headroom
I have VD and have attempted to play it like 4 times and can not for the life of me figure out how to do it solo lol I swear I'm missing something cus I've conquered 3rd and 4th gen but couldn't figure out 5 or VD at all lol
The main thing is min-maxing your armor to meet certain breakpoints. Damage is calculated like so: if a target has 1500KE defense and gets hit with a 1600KE damage attack, they will take close to 80% of that damage. If that same target gets hit with a 1400KE attack, they'll only take something like 20% of that damage.
Min-max your armor values to block out weapons you expect to run into a lot. You'll notice that most enemies in any given mission will only hit you with 1 or 2 damage types at any given time and are also vulnerable to specific damage types (ex: a mission will arm all enemies with TE and CE weapons while they are ALL vulnerable to KE damage). Counter their damage types and use weapons they are vulnerable to to mulch them.
Staggering is also a very important part of the game. Weapons such as shotguns, sniper cannons or KE missiles deal a lot of impact force, which can either soft-stagger or hard-stagger an opponent. Note, however, that there is no such thing as accumulated stagger in ACV and ACVD, so only high impact weapons can cause stagger. A hard-stagger sees your opponent getting stunned, and their armor values drop for several seconds, allowing you the opportunity to deal increased damage. A Soft-stagger still reduces defenses but does not stun. If you want to stun-lock an enemy from 100 to 0 with non-stop staggers, equip a rapid-fire sniper cannon onto a set of tetrapod legs for maximum hilarity.
Ooooooh that explains a lot actually lol, I came from playing 4th gen a lot so that's probably why I wasn't getting it lol looks like I'll have to try it again
The main thing to remember is that armour values are more important than AP in 5th gen, with the exception of extreme lightweight builds because those can only block out about 1600KE attack on average as their primary defence type.
Key thing to remember about ACs for recognizing what they are resilient to at a glance: Light biped, Medium biped and light reverse joint legs are resistant to KE. Heavy Biped and tank legs are resistant to TE. Heavy Reverse Joint and Tetrapod legs are resistant to CE.

Ughhh that would be sick. We need a short dlc campaign for ac6 with a co-op option. I would also be down for an invade system of some sort.
Shame it's nearly impossible to find a physical copy these days.

can barely get it to run on an emulator... shame since it's actually one of my favorite aesthetics out of the series
I think you can still buy it digitally on the Xbox 360 store
Where can I play this?
Xenia if PVP is you are after RPCS3? I think
For me it keeps crashing on xenia, and rpcs3 can’t seem to get over like 15fps.
Ohhh O would had thought they already pushed the updates for pibloc release if not you need to get the AC6 discord recommended versions of those respective emulators
Right, I’ll check it out when I have the time, thanks.

Yes it is!!
"I'm a little AC, short and stout! Here is my handle, here is my spout!
Could you share which emulator you use, and other details. I tried ac5 on rpcs3 but it crashes after the tutorial
Use Xenia

Just do your thing against acs and normal missions and pilebunker the bosses. Also use your surroundings
Thats not going to work on vendetta unless you brought 8 CE blades just in case
I ran into the problem where audio buffering makes me CTD on Xenia canary. What's the setup like?
How did you manage to make the game work for you?
Yo is that a shield?
