YouTuber ZeroLenny published a video on his channel beatingArmored Core 6using only his mech’s fists. The player’s idea of making a run without weapons inArmored Core 6came from a conversation with YouTuber VaatiVidya. He decided to go ahead with the plan when he discovered that using the mech’s jetpack increases damage, allowing him to collide with enemies. The player had to learn to time his punches, and when to dash in and out, since someArmored Core 6enemies deal damage when players get close. ZeroLenny revealed that the hardest fight of his run was against the tutorial boss. Without usingArmored Core 6’s weapons, the clash required much dodging and charging and was a great test of patience.
As for the idea of turningArmored Core 6into aPacific Rim-esque experience, ZeroLenny said that beating the game this way wasn’t as interesting as playing it “properly.” Despite this, he points out that he has learned important combat tactics like stun-locking, which will be essential for his melee build. The player also adds thatArmored Core 6’s no weapons run wasn’t as fun as his previous challenges, but still was “incredibly fun.” ZeroLenny has in his YouTube channel other equally creative challenges, such asbeatingElden Ringwith a torch, and testing how many times he could beatDark Souls 2in 24 hours.
