Oro's Weapon Tier List (1.02) | Armored Core 6

hey guys Oro here and today we're making an armored Core 6 weapon tier list I have 91 weapons to tear this is gonna take a while but hope you're strapped in ready for some fun we're gonna go over every single weapon in the game let's do it all right first up we got the rensetsu RF not to be confused with the ransetsu AR um this thing is really good especially after the recent patch um I did I don't know if it needed a buff it's it's one of the best rifles in the game um but it's still not great in terms of everything um I would put this I think I'm gonna put it B tier I don't think it belongs in AIM because rifles just aren't super great but I think I think a solid B tier for the ransatsun next up is the Curtis linear rifle oh man this thing sucks um I have used this thing extensively and when compared to everything else it's just so so bad it got buffed it did um but it's still just really really pathetic honestly this is d-tier I have to put it in determ it sucks it's bad and um now we're gonna go for its bigger brother the Harris now the Harris is really good I'm gonna go ahead and put it straight into B tier this thing really packs a punch uh it staggers pretty quick uh especially if you got two of them it's really good uh it's charge attack is good too not bad at all it's just it's just the better Curtis it's the better linear rifle without a doubt next we got the Turner assault rifle the starting assault rifle when you start the game this thing is absolutely useless it is terrible this is probably the worst gun in the game if I had an F tier I would probably save it for the Turner it is essentially useless I hate it next we got the Scudder slightly less useless but still pretty bad we're gonna put it straight into seats here assault rifles just aren't good even after the buff they still really need a lot um it's just they're in a weird spot they're in a really weird spot um again they're they're usable but it's just not great now we got the rensetsu AR burst rifle um this thing's really good this thing's really good it's not amazing but it's pretty good oh this is a hard this is a hard decision because I want to put it in beam like I really want to put it in B but I'm thinking I'm thinking it's seat here is it really as good as a Scudder um it is really it's it's ah it's a hard choice I think I think I'm gonna put it in B tier I think I'm gonna put it in B tier because it's it's not terrible there are worse guns um yeah we'll put it in B tier it's not bad now on to the Ludlow SMG this thing with its buff is really damn good insta B tier for me um this thing absolutely shreds from close range um it is nasty now the impact damage it does especially with two of them especially with bullet orbits you are looking at like half a second stuns it's actually nuts the Chang Chen machine gun is next ludlow's big brother decent stats bigger mag it's got worse stats overall but way bigger mag 15 extra bullets honestly in this game it's enough to make the difference between being really really good and just great um this thing honestly I think is now one of the best weapons in the game I'm gonna put a tier this thing absolutely shreds the ability to keep that pressure on through stuns through everything is invaluable I think it's actually insanely strong this is my first at your weapon 100 now we're at the burst machine gun at Sujin uh this thing's really good instant beats here um not really too much to say about it it's a good weapon try it out you'd be surprised ah yes the dreaded Gatling gun oh this is uh this is a Hot Topic I'm I want to put it in B tier and I know people are going to be like what but it's just so easy to play around in PvP especially you know the second you see they have a Gatling gun you just back up they're a lot like shotguns except way less lethal um it's way harder to stay in close range consistently than to get in close range once AKA shotguns so honestly I don't think they're that powerful they do a lot of damage but you have to be close they are absolutely useless at anything but close range and close range is dominated by shotguns so I think I will I will put them in a tier this is an a-tier weapon for sure I will I will I'll be okay with then now on to shotguns the Haldeman this is the honest shotgun not quite the zimmermans um but it's it's pretty good it's pretty damn good um I would put this in B tier instantly I think that's where it belongs and now on to everyone's favorite you guys already know where this [ __ ] thing belongs s tier without a doubt 100 billion percent these things are totally broken um and a lot of people like oh there's so many counters oh you know they're not OP and I agree there's counters to everything in the game it's just Zimmerman counters more than it gets countered so it deserves to be up there 100 especially if you know what you're doing with them a lot of people just use them like mid-range shooting you you have to be close you have to be assault boosting for the extra impact you are going to stun 90 of players if you know what you're doing with the zimmermans unlike the first run uh unless you're fighting a quad or a tank they're going to get stunned and then you can do whatever the hell you want so they are automatic S2 for me their impact is way too high honestly I think that's the the major reason I'm putting it up there is just good the impact is insane it completely shuts people down um before they can do anything so s tiered easily for me now we're on to the Sweet 16 shotgun these things again are the honest shotgun especially when compared to the Zimmerman um I do like them a lot I think they're pretty strong um however they have a really really long reload and they just don't do enough to be insanely good um I can see two of them being super strong though so I almost want to put this in a tier but you know what yeah because the burst damage is really really good and uh you could definitely follow that up with something else if you get the stun so I I think I am going to put it in a tier I think the sweet 16s belong in a tier over the holiday months just because they're almost as strong as the zimmermans in terms of uh a lot of the stats so I think that's fair all right we're on to handguns handguns are really really good in this game um the coquillant I believe is the smaller but faster fire rate handgun of the two um this thing is nuts this thing is one of the best guns in the game I'm gonna put an a tier it doesn't belong in s tier but damn it's close it's these things stun so fast um I I really am tempted to put an S2 um just because of how quickly you can stagger with this thing um but compared to the zimmermans which are just straight up overpowered I think it just belongs in a tier because they are pretty balanced um they're really really underrated I love them personally uh def definite ATM now for the duckets the ducats again are the bigger brother um these things have longer range uh slower fire rate but they pack way more of a punch um and stun at around the same time they were on the same uh impact per second so they're definitely competitive we're gonna put them right in a tier right next to their little brother here perfect perfect spot for the handguns now we're on to the samboom the burst handgun this thing is super underrated it is really strong does it deserve a tear hell no but B tier that's where the sample belongs Rusty I think would be proud now we're on to the viento needle gun these things are also slept on but way more than the sampoos these things are insane they only have five shots but their impact per second is insanely good you can stun people in seconds with them they are very very very powerful if you can land your shots I'm gonna put them straight into a tune oh and the dreaded stun guns there's only one place these things belong Yes dear here's why stun guns are their own breed of [ __ ] they not only have insane damage but they have a status effect that builds up near instantly that staggers your AC it stuns your AC not stagger stuns if a mini stun every time you uh the static builds up the electricity builds up and with two of these constantly pressuring your opponent they could barely play the game um combine this with the coral Shield any Shield to get up close and personal to block a bit of damage and you're looking at one of the best weapons in the entire game with little encounters very similar to the Zimmerman um these things are dumb these things are dumb they are oppressive um yeah yikes now we're on to the Bazookas guanjin Majestic and little gem uh they all are functionally the same with a bit of damage damage differences but um yeah honestly they're they're pretty pretty bad um in terms of everything I would probably put them all in detail I am not a fan of bazooka's uh especially in PvP uh for PVE they're a little bit better but I still think they belong in determ they're just really really bad now we're on to the detonating Bazooka Javelin Alpha this thing is okay it's a little bit better than the Bazookas it's got a little more velocity to the Rockets but they're still not great still super long reload still stuff that shoulder weapons do better so I'm gonna put it in C tier for sure now we're on to the grenade launchers do Chen dizzy and iridium all of them are pretty meh honestly I think it's just as simple as that straight into seed tier for all of them now we're on to the Napalm bomb launcher kri um this thing is really cool but it sucks it's really bad if you landed it lands the uh the heat the heat buildup is almost instant and that's really good but landing it is the problem it goes on the ground and ACS can fly so uh I'm gonna put it in detail it doesn't belong anywhere else it's pretty bad it's hard to use properly um honestly flamethrower might just be a better option if you want to burn people it's just oof next is the jamming bomb launcher kyoru you might be surprised but this is actually really good this turns off targeting for everyone hard lock soft lock you name it missiles nothing works with this thing on the ground um super underrated super powerful tool does it belong in a tier no but B tier for sure it is a very under utilized weapon um I think we'll probably be seeing more of this in the future it's good now we're on to the stun bomb launcher the therapist this thing is pretty terrible honestly it's not great uh it doesn't have a lot going for it at all besides the electric and even then oof just oof I'm putting it in seats here not quite detier but I'm thinking about it but we're gonna throw it in seat here now we're on to the bad cook flame thrower my beloved this thing is underrated as hell it does so much damage to people if you're close I think this deserves to be B tier easily um the DPS it outputs is insane um the extra bonus you get from you know uh flaming people um not on the internet um be nice to them uh this thing is is very underrated because you can follow it up with something does a lot of stagger on your shoulders on your side weapon and uh it'll be even more effective and two of them again have insane DPS so I think people are sleeping on the flamethrowers they're actually pretty good although again not quite a or S tier because those other weapons uh Zimmerman's stun guns are sort of dominating the close range right now now we're on to the laser rifles the L arm the lra and the lrb so they're progressively heavier with multiple shots getting to the end um they all function around the same but obviously the big one is way stronger um so I think all of them deserve I know this is going to be crowded but I think all of them deserve to be in B tier they're pretty good they're not great but they're damn good they really really do a lot so uh I'm a big fan and I'm an even bigger fan of our next one laser shotgun woogorm this thing packs a punch the charge attack is insane you could do like 4 000 damage in an instant um combine that with a two of them and you can like basically instantly kill people when they're staggered this thing uh it's really good super high rate of fire um and it does it feels like it never ever ever goes on cooldown you can shoot this thing like 17 times before it finally uh starts to cool off it's it's nuts uh it's definitely the better laser shotgun in my opinion uh maybe not as consistent as the others uh as the other um but the pure raw damage and strength this thing can put out uh is is nuts I think it's super actually underrated so we're gonna put an eight here and put this uh the Ruger in a tier for sure now that last laser shotgun is not quite as strong as the Ruger just because I don't think it has the raw DPS comparatively because the slower rate of fire it is more consistent you will get more uh out of ranged but if you're closer the rugers will delete someone it also has a way better charge attack uh the rugers um so I don't think this thing deserves to be an a tier I think it's got to go in B tier but it is still a very very viable and super strong option now we're on to the LH laser handgun this thing you're gonna be surprised this I think is one of the best weapons in the game I'm putting it straight into a tier and here's why these things the DPS their range the ability for them to remove someone from the planet very quickly is is actually insane um if you let anybody with a laser handgun close to you for even a second you will feel the pain they'll do thousands of thousands of damage in seconds their DPS especially with the 150 generator uh that increases your energy uh weapon damage it is it makes these things lethal and because of that I'm putting it in a tier and for the fact that they just seem to never ever ever being able to stop shooting you can shoot these things a thousand times similar to the rugers their uh their capacity their energy capacity is just off the charts it's nuts so constant pressure constant damage they are very scary they are very underrated now we're on to the pr plasma rifle um this thing's really underrated um but it's not OP it's not even great but it is good it is very good we're gonna put that in straight into B tier and the nebula plasma rifle honestly is just as good we're gonna throw that in B tier as well uh these things if you hit someone with them are going to melt them so quickly it is hard to land because the velocity is quite slow but if you're like a reverse joint a quad someone always in the air raining down these shots can be extremely lethal now we're getting a little spicy onto the coral weapons um this first weapon the redshift Coral rifle is it's very very similar to the nebula however its focus is Direct Hit damage so if you're gonna get a stun off and you fire a couple rounds of these it will destroy your opponents uh they are very good but again the velocity is really slow I think they belong in B tier and B tier is getting a little crowded now we're on to the other core rifle the wlt-011 um this thing has way faster velocity um but I they both do Insane Direct Hit damage they're really really strong but again they're not good enough to be put into a tier they're just B tier weapons um again they are really good on punishes but I feel like that's all they have there's a lot of better weapons for for neutral for impact uh in general so all of these I think sort of belong in the B Team oh boy we're on to my baby from past armored cores and this one the Kurosawa rifle this thing is nuts it's a multi-energy rifle the fully charged shot in particular is lethal at close ranges it's almost impossible to dodge it does seven billion damage it has a very long cooldown but if you land the shot it will absolutely decimate your opponent and almost instant stagger them um for this reason I'm actually going to put in s tier and I'm not joking with even one of these you can make a viable build with just a couple other steps um they're that strong they're really really really really not to be trifled with the second you see that Kurosawa you need to make sure that you dodge when it comes out and if you don't you're basically dead so I think it's very fair to put those bad boys in S2 now we're on to the pulse guns the q1 and the A2 both of these guns are extremely situational because their purpose is to destroy pulse shields uh Paul Shields you're going to see on baltius you're going to see on anyone who pops pulse armor but because of that they're really not good anywhere else they do quite a bit of damage on their own but you have to be super up close and their accuracy isn't great um because of this we're going to put them in seat here next we got the missile launcher and the split missile launcher um both of these you know have similar functions they shoot out missiles the missiles do stuff um they're okay their damage isn't great um but they're not terrible um I'll put them in C tier I think that's fair because there's way better main hand weapons you could throw on and speaking of way better main hand weapons we're at the apparatus one of the greatest main hand weapons in the game The Siege missile launcher shoots out delayed missiles um that sort of sit for a while but allows you to reposition and then the missiles start coming at your opponent to track them down and it does a lot I mean a lot of damage and they have a lot of range and they shoot out a lot of missiles uh honestly this thing is insanely powerful I'm going to go ahead and put it in s tier this is one of the greatest weapons in the game just for putting pressure on your opponent um I think it's definitely overtuned it's very strong now we're on to the fun stuff the melee weapons first up we got the pile bunker ashmead this is one of the best melee weapons in the game if not for the fact that it does the most burst damage as quickly as possible out of all of them um it's nasty it really is um if you're too slow on getting staggered and someone has a pile bunker they're charging it on you usually even the quickest pulse armor is not going to make it you're going to tear through them you are eating that pile bunker whether you like it or not uh this is one of the best melee weapons in the entire game I'm gonna place the Nate here now we're on to the explosive thrower Tai Yang Shu uh this thing is just weird it's really weird it's not great but it's not bad does it deserve anything higher than b hell no you know what it even deserves C because it's just it's just weird um the range isn't great uh the Stagger you get with it is good but there are way better options it definitely belongs in seatium and we're on to one of my personal favorites the Double Trouble chainsaw oh my God is this thing underrated um chainsaw has the highest Direct Hit damage punish in the entire game allowing you to stun someone once and Chainsaw them in half really um with the charge attack it's absolutely devastating um also if you charge it up it gives you damage reduction while charging so you get passive damage auction while just charging it up walking around uh this thing is super underrated 100 a tier weapon now we're on to the EB stun baton uh this thing sucks this thing is just not good it's it's just not good it's not good at anything it's Mimi it's fun police brutality but it really really sucks like really sucks I personally hate it it's detier for me sorry now we're on to the laser dagger this thing is awesome it's super lightweight so it can fit on most builds and it does a lot of damage on its three hit combo um it's just overall really really solid It's gotta go B tier now we're on to the laser blade this thing is so tragic because I wanna love it it's really cool it's got a nice big blue sweeps and the double sweep charge but it's just not good the tracking is terrible it feels like I'm using the moonlight great sword in the past few Souls games where you just do the big charge and it just whiffs for no reason at all it's a feels bad moment and I don't think it's great at all um oh man I I I even I'm tempted to put it in D tier but it's not that bad you can still land hits It's still got a lot of range it just it just leaves you open it leaves you in this big long animation it's not powerful enough to justify it it just it's so underwhelming I think that's the big thing is this is very underwhelming laser blade gets a solid C tier for me now on to the laser slicer aka the twin blade this thing is incredible the damage you can put out with this thing is nuts the second you get that stun you go for the Stagger punish combo and you are swinging for like an hour suddenly the opponent is in a Tekken juggle combo they are wanting to pulse armor out of there but you just throw them right back in it is it's nasty this thing is super underrated super powerful combined with laser drones where you shoot them out and then combo with this the laser drones will shoot your opponent while you're comboing them for 10 hours they actually have time to come out and start shooting uh bullet orbits at all any orbits um this thing it just has so many uses uh Team fights keeping someone in place for that long it I think this is the longest combo extender in the game out of a stagger um and for that reason alone it has to be a tier this is one of the strongest punishes in the game yes it takes a while but that's sort of the point now we're at the laser Lance I love this thing I made several builds around the laser Lance uh namely the Dragoon but it's just fun it's just fun to charge it's fun to get people uh it does a lot of damage it's got decent tracking uh sometimes the charge attack will miss like Point Blank and it's really weird um but I don't think the Lance is actually good enough to go to a tier because the damage it does is outshine by a lot of other stuff the tracking isn't perfect but it can combo into other melee combos um but that alone doesn't doesn't push it to a tier it is a b tier weapon it is still very good but just not excellent oh boy plasma thrower this thing is insane on a quad build or a tank this shuts down anyone getting into close range it instantly stuns the impact damage these the damage everything about this is nuts uh this is the most underrated melee weapon in the entire game it's probably because it's nigh unusable on uh bipeds and reverse joints because you're stuck in the long whip animation um but my God this this plasma thrower the whip is nuts if anybody gets close to you has a quad or a tank you can kite them you can instantly stagger them do whatever you want this is a hundred percent one of the best weapons of the game and uh honestly I'm gonna put it in S2 because it's just that damn good it's I think it is the most underrated tool in the entire game and I hope I don't see more of it because I sort of hate it and finally everybody's favorite melee weapon the pulse Blade the starter weapon uh this thing's super good uh it's not good for punishes but it's good for General neutral General General General uh melee footsies in neutral we'll call it um just throwing it out just hitting someone with it this is probably the best melee weapon in the game for them um it does a lot of impact it does a decent amount of damage uh it's not great for punishes um but it does do a lot of damage to pulse Shields and um just it's overall good it's good it's a b tier weapon for sure now we got the Moonlight and the redshift two of my favorites in the game uh these are sort of ranged melee weapons but they still benefit from stuff like the Basho arms uh melee specialization stat um so they're definitely still melee weapons uh however they're really good on builds that can't go in for the punish because they're too far away uh such as rifles uh laser rifles any any sort of long range um these are going to be a great tool to switch and get some bigger damage than just continuously shooting um and their projectiles are pretty decent uh especially the charged of both of them are very hard to dodge um in general especially if you don't know they're coming they are telegraphed but fair um so I think we're gonna put both of them in B tier again uh the moonlight's still really good because it doesn't have the good r1s but it has a good charge attack and redshift is the opposite has really good r1s but not as good charge attack they're both extremely good options oh God here we are the coral oscillator this thing is really really really strong um it's normal slash is cool it's strong but that's not what it's used for the charge attack is a massive sweeping laser beam that does like seven billion impact damage it's super good for comboing into anything slow uh especially the coral missiles um that's my bread and butter combo right there um it's it's nasty uh the tracking on it is really good there's even Tech where you can hard lock away them and like spawn the laser on top of someone so I think these are slept on and uh they can be hard to use because you can't turn your camera while you use the charge attack but honestly you just let Jesus take the wheel and half the time you're gonna hit your opponents because the tracking is super strong uh these are a definite a tier now we're on to shoulder weapons and on to my babies the Morley's oh my god do I love these things are they good they're good are they great hell no they're not they have super super slow time to fire the second you pull the trigger you're going to be waiting a good two seconds before those bad boys come out uh the range is pathetic uh the damage leaves a lot to be desired but the impact is insane if you can land this thing uh the whole shotgun explody blast most ACS will get stunned in a single double Blast from the morleys um so they can be incredibly potent um as I'm sure a lot of you have seen on my rust bucket build um so I'm gonna put them at B tier because they're they're they have a use it's very Niche close range um but they're not super powerful but they're not bad now we're on to the earshot grenade Cannon oh my God this weapon is insane it's radius hits you no matter what you do if you're even an inch close to the ground even if you dodge out of the way this thing will still hit you every single time thankfully it doesn't do a [ __ ] ton of damage but it does a lot and has a lot of impact this thing is really really really nasty if you are on the ground so stay off the ground definite beats here but the the key is that it's easily countered by just don't stay on the ground stay away from the ground and thankfully with coral gens that's very easy to do for most a season the songbirds slightly more fair grenade Cannon um these things really really do pack a punch um but they're easily dodgeable and there's tons of better punish options really good for PVE though but I think just for the fact that you know there's better options we're gonna have to put it in seat here oh God we finally arrived didn't we I don't even need I don't even think you guys need an explanation for this one but in case you do those are the stun needle launchers arguably the most broken weapon in the entire game for some God forsaken reason they decided to make the storm ruler of this game do seven billion damage outside his boss room um if you land a direct hit with these that player is bye-bye it may as well delete your save file it hits so hard um not only does it hit hard but it has electricity damage which is already super strong so if you're not stunned it stuns you and does a portional percentage of your HP it's just dumb uh these things are totally broken um half the time even if you dodge them they have the AOE blast so you do takes a bit of Splash um their projectile velocity is so fast that even on decent connections if you dodge it you're still going to get hit with the full charge um these things are absolutely [ __ ] broken they're [ __ ] I hate them more than anything if there was a triple S tier here I would put it but we're just gonna put an S for now um holy [ __ ] I hate them they're they need a Nerf more than anything in the game in my opinion um yeah they are they're nasty on to the laser cannons um all of the laser cannons have different purposes um different powers but they all function relatively the same um the first one is just the normal one the second one is a triple and the third one is a sort of a shotgun um all of them are super strong these are some of the best punish options in the entire game these things are all slept on so much and thank God they are because they are super annoying to deal with um their projectile velocity is near instant because if they're a laser so you can punish from basically any range um the shotgun ones are devastating at close range and again they're they're charged attacks are basically one shots if you land a direct hit it will destroy someone's Health if not outright kill them especially if you have two of these on your shoulders um these are some of the best punished tools in the game I'm putting them all No Doubt in my mind into AIDS here now we're on to the plasma cannon the plasma cannon is really cool but It suffers from again slow projectile velocity and um you know long reloads uh the whole shebang it they're just not amazing but they're not bad uh definitely underrated uh throw them right into beats here now on to the pulse Cannon uh again with all the pulse guns and the pulse Cannon included they're very Niche very situational uh this one even more so however it's not so bad as to put it in D tier but we're gonna throw it right where it belongs in seat here the pulse Shield launcher however is actually surprisingly good um this thing puts up a shield that you can sort of hide behind and peek around cover it's basically a free cover wherever you are um it blocks bullets it blocks all sorts of stuff and it lasts for quite a long time um these things are slept on this is super underrated but not a tier B tier 100 I would like to see more people take use of this because it is very good especially for this bursty sort of shotgunny uh meta we're in right now now we're on to the light wave Canon Aura oh this thing sucks this thing is so bad it is it is basically unusable uh the tracking is terrible when it does track it does zero damage Next To None um it's really cool though it's super cool and it pairs well with the Moonlight sword because it just it's like cool little light beams but it [ __ ] sucks it's trash who am I getting in straight D tier now we have the missile launchers uh very straightforward they shoot missiles forward uh super good for when you're stunning people Direct Hit damage but really not a great option um I think these missiles are definitely gonna go into C tier an honestly split dual and vertical missile launchers are sort of in the same boat they're they're not great but they're not bad uh I don't think any of them deserve B tier so we're gonna throw them all into seats here and they put a little bit of pressure on your opponent and they're not bad if you don't have anything else to slot in but there are way better options the active homing missile launchers are actually pretty good uh these things are again slept on underused and underrated um their tracking seems to last for an eternity and when they do hit you they hit pretty damn hard they're really good option uh for for a build that puts on a lot of pressure with other weapons I think these definitely deserve B tier the container missile launcher might look terrifying but it really isn't uh it shoots out a bunch of little missiles after one big missile and they sort of spread out and track opponents but uh I don't know they don't seemed great they really really don't seem great I'm gonna put this in seat here especially for the weight it's just not worth it a lot of these missile launchers sort of suffer the same fate uh the delivery boy uh is super cool again it shoots up missiles in the air and it rains down um but it's just too damn slow the whole thing is just too damn slow too telegraphed people are gonna walk out of that it takes an hour um I I am not a fan especially in PvP uh I think we'll throw it into C team now we're on to the soup scatter missile launcher uh these things a lot of people use them but they're really really not good they're super easy to dodge um I think all of these missiles really just they're not great they put a little bit of pressure on your opponents but not enough compared to other stuff to justify uh thing on your shoulders being a top tier slot on your shoulders so I think I'm gonna throw the soup unfortunately right where it belongs in C tier the detonating missile launcher the javelin beta uh this thing is [ __ ] trash it looks really cool because like zooms around and has a delayed explosion but by the time it gets to your opponent they're already gone uh I've seen people really try to make this work by hiding it with like a flamethrower and stuff and you're better off using just about anything else this thing basically serves no purpose at all uh I don't think I've ever been hit by it and if I did I should probably uninstall D tier straight up and we're on to the trunos the needle missile launcher these things are insane um they are starting to see some use in the meta I've seen a lot of people starting to use them uh and myself included um their projectile velocity is near instant uh the Direct Hit damage is nothing to scoff at either um they're super lightweight super easy to throw on two of these on your back and have free pressure um they do give a note of of it coming but on a shitty connection Sometimes they come out without warning and uh that's sort of when they become an issue um these things are insane uh again they're they're missiles so they track as well on top of their super speed um they're some of the best options in the game uh I think this 100 deserves s tier right next door it's done needle even though the stun needle is a way way better version these are like the almost balanced version of them but they're so unbalanced that they're still S2 they're they're nuts all right we have the plasma missile launcher and then the vertical version of the plasma missile launcher um the plasma missile launcher itself really isn't too great um I'm gonna go ahead and put it into C tier just because it's you know goes straight it's very telegraphed people can see it coming people can dodge very easily it's good for punishes but again better options um however the vertical missile launcher uh of the plasma variant is slapped on these things are really really good they seemingly have super high tracking they stay in the air for far too long every time I see one of those go out I start to panic because I know they're gonna hit me um super strong super good any any super powerful stuff not really um I think they just they belong in B tier they belong in B tier they're very good options now we're on to the coral missile launcher this thing is insane the tracking is ungodly the damage it's a tactical nuke it's going to delete you from the planet if it hits you um and it never stops chasing you uh when I say the tracking is good it is so hard to dodge if you're not a lightweight um if you don't have cover if you're on a bad MAP you're basically dead when these come out uh especially if they have something else like the oscillator to follow up and try to hit you with um with pressure uh on teams in three v3s on anything these are just nasty um definitely one of the best shoulder units in the entire game uh every time you see these things you should be scared for your life because they are going to come after you and they are going to hurt you 100 S tier for the coral missiles all right we got the bullet orbit Huxley next these things are insane they are slept on they are a build enablers they make weapons that normally aren't great really great because they just give you just a little more impact to get that stun out and allow you to sort of uh really really get those punishes the Stagger punishes out way easier um these things are a tier without a doubt because they are super strong their tracking is good they have high impact um and if you can manage them smartly um their cooldown isn't that bad if you let them run out then you have to wait a super long cooldown but with skill and you know a bit of attention you can put them back and pull them out very very quickly very efficiently especially in burst in um builds that go in and out of combat um this is where this is where the bullet orbit shines uh super underrated uh try them out they're nuts now on to the laser orbits unfortunately not quite as powerful as the bullet orbit um they also don't benefit from the energy stat on your generator they are flat damage which is a little disappointing but they're not bad they're really not bad um I think these are definitely a b tier option uh without a doubt not as good as the Huck sleeves for what they do but they do quite a bit of damage not bad the laser turret oh this thing is really cool but people can just just walk away you know like uh I'm sad about it I'm really sad about it I don't think it's very good at all we're gonna put it in seat here because it's just it's just not great now on to the laser drones these things are super nutty not quite as tier but 100 A2 charging them up makes them do about seven billion damage to your enemies they track like no other if your opponent doesn't Dodge or they're stunned or they're in any sort of combo this is probably going to kill them outright combined with two of them and you got something really really nasty 100 a tier uh thankfully these are slept on thankfully not a lot of people charge them up fully uh so they don't do their maximum damage but my God they're super strong one of the best options in the game hands down now we're on to the shields the pulse shield and the pulse buckler serve very similar purposes um each of them sort of blocks damage uh and impact damage while they're up and extra damage if you have a an initial guard which is the second you guard uh you get sort of a boost and the time frame is different per Shield it's a whole thing these are all super super strong um I don't know why I have two pulse bucklers but we're gonna deal with it uh all of the pulse shields uh for now are going straight to B2 now we're on to the pulse scutum this thing is really really good super underrated but it works very differently uh you have to charge it for a full four seconds to get the full effect of the shield but when it's up it is stronger than all of them um it's really really powerful uh however this means that you can't Dodge you can't uh do any quick boost action because your Shield's gonna go down and it's going to lose that four full four second charge you're gonna have to recharge it again so you have to think okay am I gonna block this attack or is this worth to dodge uh you know incoming karasawa or the needle launcher or something nasty um however again it's super strong when it's up and builds like reverse joints that can rely on jumping uh or quads that can just hover in the air are really really good with this thing um not good enough to put it in a tier but solid B because of the downsides oh boy the coral Shield the final weapon this is very very fitting because this thing is super controversial it is super powerful it blocks from all sides it's like a Super Smash Brothers Block you can't get hit by missiles you can't get hit by anything if you put this up um this is one of the best tools in the entire game even if you're [ __ ] at timing even if you just hold it up the damage mitigation it gives you just brainlessly is is it's insane it's immeasurable it's it's seriously seriously God too um I can't think of any one item that destroys so many builds by just being able to block an obvious burst of a Zimmerman of a stun gun of any missile barrage of any anything in the game um especially after a stagger and you're still red for a second if you pop this up you're not going to take any more damage even though you know you might be able to get punished uh from from something else before and this goes for all Shields but this is especially true of the coral Shield um this thing is seriously seriously insanely strong um s tier without a single down oh and that's everything I think we're we're finally done that took a while if you guys are still up uh hope you enjoyed the video uh be sure to let me know what you think in the comments and again this tier list is just my opinions just my opinions man um don't get mad at me don't take this as truth because it's not it is just one man's opinion that has played way too much armored Core uh for the past three weeks only so these opinions might change patches will definitely change this and I will definitely make updated videos as they do um but until then thank you so much for watching again everyone I love you all be sure to subscribe to the
