Weight and being overencumbered in Armored Core 6: A Lighthearted Guide

AC6 Weight

Ah, weight management – the eternal struggle of every mech pilot in Armored Core 6. Dealing with being overencumbered can turn your shiny, badass machine into a giant paperweight. So, let’s dive into the exciting world of weight and figure out how to avoid getting stuck like a turtle on its back.

What’s all the fuss about being overencumbered in Armored Core 6?

You see, mechs have their limits. Too much weight and they can barely crawl, let alone jump and strafe like a graceful metal ballerina. It all comes down to a little thing called “Current Load.” Think of it as a snarky bouncer at a mech nightclub, constantly judging your mech’s weight and deciding whether it’s fit to party on the battlefield.

The Battle Against Extra Pounds: How to Escape the Overencumbered Nightmare

Option 1: Shedding Some Pounds

The simplest way to lighten your load is by swapping out those hefty mech parts. Imagine it like putting your mech on a diet. Choose parts with a lower “Weight” number, and voila! Your “Current Load” bar won’t reach that pesky white line of doom, which represents your mech’s current maximum weight. But beware, lighter parts often mean sacrificing health and defense. So, either you’ll take more hits or crumble like a sugar cookie. Decisions, decisions.

Option 2: Get Thicc Legs

Ladies and gentlemen, let’s give a warm welcome to the unsung heroes of the mech world – legs! Your mech’s maximum weight capacity depends on the sturdy stems it’s rocking. Swap those chicken legs for some powerful pillars, and suddenly your mech can strut around with pride, supporting a heavier load. The downside? Well, your mech might be a bit slower and bulkier than a sumo wrestler at a buffet. But hey, every party needs a designated strongman, right?

Option 3: Upgrade to “Weight Control” Mode

If you’re feeling rebellious and prefer to live life on the edge, there’s a radical solution: the “Weight Control” OS upgrade. This bad boy allows you to go on missions while overencumbered. Not only that, but you can even drop weapons in the heat of battle, just like a mech magician pulling rabbits out of a hat. But beware, my reckless friend, this is a last-resort option. It’s probably best to avoid being overencumbered altogether. Just saying.

And that’s it! Now you’re armed with the knowledge and wit to conquer the challenging world of weight management in Armored Core 6. Remember, a light and nimble mech is a happy mech. So, go forth, fellow gamers, and dance gracefully across the battlefield, leaving your enemies in awe of your weight management skills!
