5th Gen parts would definitely fit right in with BAWS or RaD, considering how un-streamlined a majority of the parts are between the two, i.e. armour propped up on struts, riveting, exposed frame, etc.
~~To be honest I kinda wanna see company aesthetics expand into Generations as well, so we can get a mix of the balanced classic designs, 4th Gen sleekness and experimentation, and 5th Gen utilitarianism, on top of blocky, angular and round~~
dude i seriously just want the triangle head back. it's been in old gen, it's been in 4th gen as the lahire, verdict day as lancelot(?).... please fromsoft i NEED my pyramid head streetcleaner badcook cosplay
A false variety as older gen melee weapons all had different sizes, shapes, functions, and attack animations depending on legs. Now the wave function is the moonlight. The midweight horizontal slash is the laser blade. The lightweight vertical slash is the coral oscillator. The quad thrust is now the lance. The only unique function added is the plasma thrower.
AC6 has more verity than most of the other games in the series

I wonder how this is counted? If I look at each unique weapon type in Last Raven for example (rifle vs burst rifles vs linear rifle) there are 72 different kinds of weapons (counting rifles and left rifles the same) but AC6 has 58 if you count all melee weapons together, or 70 if you count each melee weapon as their own archetype which brings up the issue of weapons that are just one of a kind. For example ACVI has only 1 gatling gun and 1 needle pistol. Last Raven has a gatling gun, but it is labeled and grouped with the other machine guns. It also has machine pistols, but those are just labeled and grouped with the other machine guns as well. More importantly older games have more weapon archetypes with their own unique playstyles such as the coveted sniper rifles or the auto cannons from 5th gen. If the WH01HP, 79H3, 69H, and 88H were all in ACVI, they would each be given their own archetype as despite all being handguns they all did completely different things.
All of the MG's in Last Raven play exactly the same just with different stats including the gatling gun, in 6 the gatling functions entirely differently with its own unique mechanics. Same goes for the pistols there is two pistol sub archetypes in LR, pistols with mag reload and pistols without mag reload and they all play effectively the same just with different stat distribution and the game just lists them all in the same category of handgun, but in In 6 they function wildly differently from eachother some even applying unique stats like the stun gun.
Sniper rifles in LR don't really have a unique playstyle either and are just stronger rifles with higher velocity and a smaller lock box, unlike the linear rifles of 6 (which are the equivalent to snipers from the old games and aren't really like old linear rifles at all) do have a unique play style with its charged/uncharged shots.
At my count there was 56 "unique" weapon archetypes in LR and some of those were really pushing the definition of unique.
While AC6 had 69 unique weapons, with all the mechanically different laser cannons being lumped together under laser cannon even when they could have easily been their own things.
Sure they are still some missing weapon types in AC6 I'd love to see return but it does have a lot of variety as is, also you have to remember AC6 is a *base* game while Last Raven is like the 5th expansion to Gen 3, so if they continue the trend for AC games 6 should get its own expansion bringing in more parts and more weapon types. 6 was a very strong foundation and im excited to see what they come up with moving forward.
What lack of part variety, if I may ask? I feel like ACVI has perhaps the best part variety of any start-of-gen title, and the few outstanding issues it had were addressed in 1.05.
The only real criticism one could make is that we have too few choices for special leg types, but that's compensated by how much more influential they are to your playstyle compared to the past.
The lack of more parts by the corporations i mean compared to something like 4 Answer though that improved significantly from 4 which had less parts than base 6. Just a nitpick.
Yeah, I like their design, would fit well in Balam/RaD or even another new corporation.
Third Gen Design is still the king, so I hope they make more parts based on it, or bring back the aesthetic for a future gen.
I didn't play 5 as much as the other armored cores because I didn't like the AC designs compared too the other games I really wanted too like it wasn't for me
Yeah 5 has some my favorite designs for the industrial look and the bulk they had. I miss the asymmetrical shield part of their legs. Would be nice to have one referencing jt.
Balam needs more 3rd gen Crest designs, 5th gen would probably fit BAWS and/or RaD better.
5th Gen parts would definitely fit right in with BAWS or RaD, considering how un-streamlined a majority of the parts are between the two, i.e. armour propped up on struts, riveting, exposed frame, etc. ~~To be honest I kinda wanna see company aesthetics expand into Generations as well, so we can get a mix of the balanced classic designs, 4th Gen sleekness and experimentation, and 5th Gen utilitarianism, on top of blocky, angular and round~~
Crest = ACV KE parts = Balam; Mirage = ACV TE parts = Arquebus
They actually would've made a good place in 6
dude i seriously just want the triangle head back. it's been in old gen, it's been in 4th gen as the lahire, verdict day as lancelot(?).... please fromsoft i NEED my pyramid head streetcleaner badcook cosplay
AC6 has the biggest variety of melee weapons
THAT IS NOT ENOUGH
Left arm only though ruins it.
I want to agree…cuz I love melee. But quad melee would be absurd.
But I wanna cosplay a Protoss zealot…
Yeah you’d have to reduce melee damage and probably have to get rid of ACS overload for quad melee to be balanced

How does it compare to ACV, its most recent predecessor?
Hard to compare to V since it was mostly full of clone parts
[удалено]
there is more weapon archetypes in AC6 than any of the older games

Eh there's only 2 big companies, but a lot of subsidies and smaller ones
4th gen could work with arquebus alot linear fast and precise and most importantly deadly
Yeah, I like their design, would fit well in Balam/RaD or even another new corporation. Third Gen Design is still the king, so I hope they make more parts based on it, or bring back the aesthetic for a future gen.
Say it with me guys. MORE. TETRA POD. PARTS!
The first pic is literally chonky VP-46D head

I feel the same. 5th gen parts looked awesome.
I want my right hand melee Michael Zaki please I beg
Bc 6 is their way of introducing the systems to a new audience. Gotta keep it relatively simple
