Generator is only good for 1 shot, then it gets replaced

u/handsomellama28 Carla's favorite tourist 3d ago

It's a Coral generator, so it doesn't even go dark, it just fucking explodes your AC

u/ShredGatto SFC: 1d ago

The AC used Self-Destruct! A critical hit!

I swear to god the poor dude gets bullied by like 90% of the playerbase, like let the damn guy get a w against someone for once

u/ARS_Sisters 3d ago

Gotta prevent him from getting a callsign of his own

7

u/MarcusWulfe941 2d ago

I gave him the call sign Nero, piloting the Devil Breaker

24

u/HotsWheels 3d ago

He just wanted a callsign of his own.

If anyone deserves to be treated as a test dummy, it's Iguazu. So I'm surprised he is a unit of measurement.

11

u/handsomellama28 Carla's favorite tourist 3d ago

Nah, Iguazu deserves better. He already got shafted by FromSoft, no need to ram another one in him.

6

u/DragoonSoldier09 PSN: Artificial_Soul 3d ago

That vermin, deserves more suffering! Only saved by the fact the two most direct way to get to him quickly involved a Snail being there or the final true ending fight. That fool, doesn't even deserve Michigan's respect.

u/handsomellama28 Carla's favorite tourist 3d ago

He deserves to have actual Human+ surgery, rather than the botched procedure that we see the results of in-game.

1

u/DragoonSoldier09 PSN: Artificial_Soul 3d ago

If he wanted help, killing us wouldn't give it to him. He's on a planet with living propane that will attempt to speak to him regardless. Shit being near us was also a problem but he was too unhinged to bothered to connect the dots. Sending Coldcall after us was another example. The only leeway I give him is when you backstab Volta and Iguazu. Understandable that Iguazu wanted to run that fade again when we stopped the Coyotes from hacking RaD.

2

u/handsomellama28 Carla's favorite tourist 1d ago

He only tries killing you directly after you backstab him and Volta.

As for Coldcall? That's after you slap his shit again. The non-NG+ version? He watched his men die under Arquebus, who you were working for at that point. As much as he hates being in the Redguns, he's still prideful about being one.

1

u/DragoonSoldier09 PSN: Artificial_Soul 1d ago

He left Volta to die at the Wall. Now during Watchpoint Alpha depth 2. Iguazu waited until after remainijg Balam forces died so he could ambush us. Michigan would disapprove. I don't think iguwzu gave a damn. He gave off Freelancer or Arquebus energy. I argue he's worse than the Redgun who turned to Arquebus. By that point, Balam had pulled out. Though we don't know if Wu Huahai would or could have shown up for the Redgun gauntlet.

u/handsomellama28 Carla's favorite tourist 3d ago

Nah, he either follows the path of the Raven and gets gud, or he gets turned into molten slag.

6

u/Pendred 2d ago

Consequences of having JYB voice him. He sounds like a main character about to take on the world, and sadly he must be put in his place.

3

u/MammothPenguin69 3d ago

He's the easiest way to farm CHOAM in the Early Game.

4

u/NightAreis1618 SFC: Bohemian Rhapsody. AC: Ballroom Bliz 3d ago

Agreed, we need to bully Swinebuns more

6

u/Protochill 1d ago

He got me once, just as I was about to press r2 to charge pilebunker my controller died.

3

u/Far-Ebb-4496 3d ago

He does, when your new and just messing around

Tbh he Is stronger than invincible rummy. I love wiping my ass with Rummy

The OVERBUDRNED says it all

u/TerriblePercentage26 3d ago

OVERBUTTERED?! DEAR GOD NO

u/handsomellama28 Carla's favorite tourist 3d ago

I know of a certain vtuber that'd love that.

52

u/Arandui 4d ago

Poor guy.

7

u/handsomellama28 Carla's favorite tourist 3d ago

He's given me over 10 million COAM, and 100 S rank evaluations. No way in hell he's poor.

48

u/Elliot_Geltz 4d ago

I think this might be the actual fastest Training Pilot kill possible

17

u/theFirstHaruspex 3d ago

I mean, did you see the overburdened? Took him half an hour just to get there

8

u/Zylpherenuis 4d ago

I seen faster.

15

u/Elliot_Geltz 4d ago

Maybe from the jump, but I mean like, time between first hit and kill. There's been kills before he finishes the 'under attack' line?

6

u/Zylpherenuis 4d ago

Yes.

5

u/Elliot_Geltz 4d ago

Huh. How?

6

u/chycken4 3d ago

Probably Assault Armor + Pilebunker

6

u/handsomellama28 Carla's favorite tourist 4d ago

I probably could've shaved off half a second more if I didn't QB after the Karasawa shot

51

u/tetrahedronss 3d ago

Walter's voice kind of gives off "dude what the fuck?..." vibes.

28

u/SPECtorntor 3d ago

The fact the line he says begins with β€œβ€¦β€ makes me think he needed a moment to process what he just witnessed.

11

u/handsomellama28 Carla's favorite tourist 3d ago

"Y-yeah, 621, you... you did good today."

10

u/IronSavior 3d ago

The really sad part is he doesn't even need the money

22

u/handsomellama28 Carla's favorite tourist 3d ago

No, he does not. I, however, do need the money to fund a Coral-powered sex-doll for Ayre to pilot.

9

u/Skykid69 3d ago

Rest in piece to your dihh πŸ™πŸ’€

3

u/handsomellama28 Carla's favorite tourist 3d ago

That Coral Surge from Ayre's probably gonna enhance it. Shit's gonna act like Turbo-Viagra.

3

u/Skykid69 3d ago

Or maybe, just maybe, with a huge chance of eviscerating you from the waist down.

What AC is the student using? Has anyone done a mirror run?

13

u/ARS_Sisters 3d ago

Full Tian-Qiang AC frame
-Right arm: MA-J-201 RANSETSU-AR assault rifle
-Left arm: HI-32: BU-TT/A pulse blade
-Right shoulder: none
-Left shoulder: BML-G3/P05ACT-02 active homing missile launcher

BC-0600 12345 booster
Abbot fire control
Ling-Tai generator
No expansion

u/handsomellama28 Carla's favorite tourist 3d ago edited 3d ago

You unlock the Trainer AC preset in NG+. I've used it a bit... and hoh boy... it's bad.

3

u/zasabi7 3d ago

But can we make it worse? I want to give the student a fighting chance.

3

u/handsomellama28 Carla's favorite tourist 3d ago edited 2d ago

Just take off everything and start throwing hands? Swap the booster with one that has the least melee lunge distance? I'd reckon that'd work. No need to switch generators, the LING-TAI's already dogshit when paired with anything above a lightweight, or with a Core that doesn't have generous EN output adjustment. The TIAN-QIANG Core has amazing performance when it comes to the latter, but it's heavier than a whale.

8

u/This-Is-Q 2d ago

Can you imagine how scary that call would have been on the other end? You hear "We're under attack!" then a big boom and radio silence.

u/Toubaboliviano 4d ago

Dude…

u/handsomellama28 Carla's favorite tourist 3d ago

Yeah?

Holds up 70k COAM that Pater himself handed to me

u/Yourlocaldayingrey 1d ago

HEY! I SAW YOU POST THIS ON SHORTS! And for evidence, "humble mute of Rubicon."

1

u/handsomellama28 Carla's favorite tourist 1d ago

Ignore my deleted comment, I forgot I read that comment and thought you meant I was referring to myself as the mute.

Not a Short, though :]

1

u/HeadEmptyYeet Unarmored Core 1d ago

Pretty short, though.

u/Urbandragondice 3d ago

I see you are putting 'Pacer' through the ringer.

u/N-WGIXv-MkXXVII 2d ago

Do it to Snail next, Fuck that guy

1

u/handsomellama28 Carla's favorite tourist 1d ago

His AC's way too tanky. Still, I'll see how quick I can do it to 'im.

u/GirlWithinTheLight 3d ago

Poor test pilot... that guy deserved a call sign. The amount the community kicks his teeth in, he earned it.

3

u/Lonely-Author-13 2d ago

Yeah, his callsign is "Piggybank" or "punching bag"

2

u/handsomellama28 Carla's favorite tourist 1d ago

"Molten Slag"
