Or just… least easy, if you prefer? Analysis included.

Opinions will vary ofc but the one thing I’m sure all will agree with, is it did not feel like they got gradually harder one after another. Rather, a lot of placements felt kinda random, though you could say on average A ranks are better than D ranks.

So I’m curious which one you thought was like “damn THEY should be S1”. Or did you think S1 was indeed the hardest?

Personally I’d say Michigan is the one I’d be least confident against on a sub-optimal build. The minigun can be oppressive and pulse protection might mess up your punish.

RH: each of the two assault rifles in the game

LH: huge melee punishes that are a bit tricky to land

RS: cannon with multiple projectiles

LS: missiles/drones (functionally similar enough)

I guess the devs thought this is the hardest AC archetype for players to face? It’s a pretty balanced design so I can’t blame them. Tho playing their presets, personally I think linear rifles would’ve suited both better, assault rifles feel underwhelming without another paired rifle. And the former look/feel less basic too.

When we fail a mission or die we simply can either restart the entire mission or start from last checkpoint. But whats that like in the in-game universe?

I really like it when a game has a lore explaination to why after your character dies, they come back. Like in Elden Ring the grace brings you back, in Lies of P Sophia turns back time to save P

Tbh AC6 seems to not have a lore reason but if yall have theories throw it to me like a Rubicon handshake

Edit: a friend and I were talking about this and he suggested when 621 fails, its just an alternate timeline where they simply fail. Very simple but i like it!

I've been optimizing heavy tetras and now I'm trying to make a lightweight

I'm trying to make a lightweight energy weapon generalist.

I like this weapon load.

I feel like I'm making a lot of compromises just to fit the weapons.im right at the weight limit and pretty limited by that limit.

“Raven, seems our work here isn’t done” - Operator

I guess Raven won’t be faking their death this time around. I’ll try my best to create a story with a mute, blank slate character like them, but it’ll be their operator that does all the talking. Like I said in the first post, I’ll start the series around November.

But perhaps… there’s one more thing I’ll probably do before we begin
