A key facet of Armored Core VI is incomes money to unlock new weapons and mech components. When you full a mission you possibly can replay it as a lot as you need for further pay, and gamers have now discovered one of many quickest cash farms in all the sport: brutally murdering a rookie check pilot in below a minute, dozens of instances in a row.
The mission is known as “Destroy the Tester AC” and it’s precisely what it says on the tin. You load into Southern Belius within the Contaminated Metropolis, find an enemy Armored Core close by, and waste him as rapidly as attainable. The job nets you 95,000 credit minus no matter you waste on ammunition, it’s tremendous straightforward, and solely takes 30 seconds to a minute relying in your construct.
That makes it an ideal quick money farm (“Wallclimber” can be nice, however not as senseless). Nevertheless, in contrast to most missions in Armored Core VI that see you going toe-to-toe with large helicopters, tough bosses, or huge services crammed with enemy cannons, the tester AC mission solely has one enemy, and it’s a scholar pilot who’s by no means been within the shit earlier than. “I’ll cope with the merc!” he says like a real anime pink shirt. “I’ve been coaching for this!”
Not nicely sufficient, sadly. He talks to you all through the combat as you mercilessly beat his ass. “The Redguns want this AC…I…I can’t fail this mission!” he stammers. He even thinks he’s profitable at one level. “My coaching is paying off,” he says after touchdown a success, solely to scream just a few seconds later, “Rattling it! I can’t die like this!”
Gamers have now killed him thousands and thousands of instances simply to allow them to afford a ton of additional weapons they’ll most likely virtually by no means use as a result of double Zimmermans and Songbirds are fully OP. It’s absurd, hilarious, and tragic in a manner that feels virtually like FromSoftware planned it this way. The Armored Core neighborhood is already filled with suggestions pointing new gamers to the straightforward payday and memes celebrating the Dafeng Scholar Pilot’s ongoing ritual sacrifice, his final phrases seared into their brains.
“I…I simply…I simply needed a callsign of my very own…” he manages, earlier than his AC explodes. Followers have determined he deserves to get one. The present frontrunner is “Yamcha”.
