0:03–0:05 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_1Oh my God, I nearly one-shot him with my

Segment details
0:23–0:26 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_3Okay, so I'll show you my build on Armored
Segment details
0:27–0:29 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_4Core 6, how I can almost one-shot the
Segment details
0:29–0:31 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_5arena bosses. So what you want to do is
Segment details
0:32–0:34 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_6you want to get the Zimmerman shotguns in
Segment details
0:34–0:36 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_7both hands. We're going to be using the
Segment details
0:36–0:38 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_8Zimmerman shotguns to stagger the enemy,
Segment details
0:38–0:40 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_9and then we're going to use these 2
Segment details
0:40–0:42 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_10shoulder-mounted cannons called Earshots,
Segment details
0:42–0:44 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_11which are extremely powerful cannons.
Segment details
0:45–0:47 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_12Look at the amount of attack power. It's
Segment details
0:47–0:49 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_13basically the entire bar is just maxed out
Segment details
0:49–0:51 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_14with attack power. It's It's got more
Segment details
0:52–0:53 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_15attack power than any of these other
Segment details
0:53–0:54 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_16shoulder-mounted weapons. Before, I used
Segment details
0:55–0:56 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_17to really like the Songbirds, but look at
Segment details
0:57–0:58 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_18the Songbirds' attack power compared to
Segment details
0:59–1:00 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_19the Earshots. It's just no comparison. It
Segment details
1:01–1:03 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_20blows the Songbirds out of the water. And
Segment details
1:03–1:05 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_21for the frame, I don't really feel like it
Segment details
1:05–1:06 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_22matters too much. Just pick whatever you
Segment details
1:06–1:08 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_23like, I guess. I go for the booster that
Segment details
1:09–1:10 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_24has the most maximum thrust because
Segment details
1:11–1:12 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_25actually thrusting into the enemy is going
Segment details
1:13–1:15 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_26to be a very important part of the
Segment details
1:15–1:16 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_27gameplay strategy. And for the OS tuning,
Segment details
1:17–1:19 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_28obviously we're going to max out kinetic
Segment details
1:19–1:20 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_29weapons. Explosive Weapons, Direct Hit
Segment details
1:21–1:23 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_30Modifier Damage Tuning— when you stagger
Segment details
1:24–1:26 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_31the enemy, you get bonus damage— and also
Segment details
1:26–1:28 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_32Dynamic Deflection Control Tuning, and a
Segment details
1:28–1:30 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_33bit in the Repair Kits, which doesn't
Segment details
1:30–1:32 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_34really matter for arenas. And this should
Segment details
1:32–1:33 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_35really help maximize the amount of
Segment details
1:34–1:35 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_36explosive damage we do with the ear shots
Segment details
1:35–1:37 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_37on staggered enemies, which is very
Segment details
1:38–1:39 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_38important. Okay, so I'm going to show you
Segment details
1:39–1:41 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_39the strategy for this tactic. It is quite
Segment details
1:41–1:44 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_40a difficult tactic to pull off. It's not
Segment details
1:44–1:45 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_41easy to pull off every time, but If you
Segment details
1:46–1:48 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_42practice enough and get the timing right,
Segment details
1:48–1:50 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_43you can pull off like a 10-second
Segment details
1:50–1:51 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_44takedown. And basically, we're just going
Segment details
1:52–1:54 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_45to double-click both of our thumbsticks
Segment details
1:54–1:56 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_46before we even start the engagement to
Segment details
1:56–1:59 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_47enable hard lock-on and also thrust into
Segment details
1:59–2:02 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_48the enemy like this. So you want to boost
Segment details
2:02–2:05 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_49into the enemy, and then when you get
Segment details
2:05–2:07 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_50around here, shotgun them, double earshot,
Segment details
2:07–2:10 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_51boom! Oh, I missed one of the earshots,
Segment details
2:10–2:12 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_52but I nearly did it. I nearly did it.
Segment details
2:12–2:15 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_53And then just, I guess, finish him off
Segment details
2:16–2:18 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_54with whatever you have left. See, that was
Segment details
2:18–2:20 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_55pretty quick. Not bad for a first try,
Segment details
2:20–2:22 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_56but I think I could do better. I could
Segment details
2:22–2:23 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_57have done that even faster, but for some
Segment details
2:24–2:25 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_58reason the ear shots only did half of the
Segment details
2:26–2:27 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_59damage that it usually does. Usually it
Segment details
2:28–2:30 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_60takes off like 70% of the enemy's HP or AP
Segment details
2:30–2:33 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_61when I get 2 ear shots. I don't know what
Segment details
2:34–2:36 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_62happened. Did I miss one of the ear shots?
Segment details
2:36–2:37 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_63Let's see how many seconds that took. Oh,
Segment details
2:38–2:40 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_6416 seconds. Not bad, not bad. Wait,
Segment details
2:40–2:43 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_65hold on, I just checked my footage and I
Segment details
2:43–2:45 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_66realized I accidentally equipped the
Segment details
2:46–2:47 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_67Songbird on my right shoulder when I was
Segment details
2:48–2:50 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_68comparing the Songbird to the Earshot.
Segment details
2:50–2:52 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_69And I noticed the first, or the previous
Segment details
2:53–2:55 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_70arena match, I was using an Earshot and a
Segment details
2:55–2:57 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_71Songbird. That's why the damage was lower
Segment details
2:58–2:59 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_72than what I was expecting. Obviously the
Segment details
3:00–3:02 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_73damage would have been way higher if it
Segment details
3:02–3:04 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_74was 2 Earshots. So I'll try and repeat
Segment details
3:04–3:06 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_75that, recreate that with This time with
Segment details
3:06–3:09 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_76both of the ear shots. That would be nice.
Segment details
3:09–3:11 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_77I can't believe I didn't notice I
Segment details
3:12–3:13 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_78accidentally had the Songbird. Well, it
Segment details
3:13–3:15 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_79still works pretty well even with one ear
Segment details
3:15–3:18 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_80shot and one Songbird, but the point is,
Segment details
3:18–3:20 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_81um, the ear shots are superior to the
Segment details
3:21–3:23 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_82Songbirds. Oh, stagger! Oh,
Segment details
3:24–3:27 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_83that was it! That was what I wanted,
Segment details
3:27–3:28 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_84exactly what I wanted. Did you see how
Segment details
3:28–3:30 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_85much health it took? Now we just got to
Segment details
3:30–3:32 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_86mop up the rest of his health. Oh,
Segment details
3:32–3:34 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_87another stagger. Oh, was that 10 seconds?
Segment details
3:34–3:37 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_88If I can get under 10 seconds, that would
Segment details
3:38–3:40 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_89just make my day. Oh, 14 seconds. Not as
Segment details
3:41–3:44 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_90quick as the first one in the beginning of
Segment details
3:44–3:46 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_91the video. Let's try one more time. Okay,
Segment details
3:47–3:49 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_92let's try one more time. Hard lock,
Segment details
3:49–3:51 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_93boost, shotgun, ear shots. Oh, that was
Segment details
3:51–3:55 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_94good, that was good. Shotguns again.
Segment details
3:55–3:57 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_95Come on, time's ticking. I think we're
Segment details
3:59–4:01 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_96like 15 seconds now. No, this is— and he's
Segment details
4:02–4:04 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_97activated his ship. Well, we nearly got
Segment details
4:04–4:06 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_98it. That would have been like 12 seconds
Segment details
4:06–4:07 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_99if I didn't miss one of those shotguns.
Segment details
4:08–4:09 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_100I'll try one more time, then I think I'm
Segment details
4:09–4:11 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_101done with this boss because he's pretty
Segment details
4:11–4:13 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_102boring, to be honest. Let's try one of the
Segment details
4:14–4:15 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_103main story bosses. Hard lock,
Segment details
4:15–4:18 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_104boost, shotgun.
Segment details
4:19–4:21 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_105Come on, shoot the ear shots. Yes! Oh,
Segment details
4:23–4:25 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_106oh! Oh no,
Segment details
4:25–4:28 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_107if he didn't activate his shield, I would
Segment details
4:30–4:31 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_108have had him in like 10 seconds. Okay,
Segment details
4:32–4:34 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_109that would be good enough, I guess. That
Segment details
4:34–4:35 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_110was like 16, 17 seconds. I think I was
Segment details
4:35–4:38 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_111like 1 millimeter away from destroying him
Segment details
4:38–4:41 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_112and then he activated his shield. So we
Segment details
4:41–4:43 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_113got a time of 14 seconds again. Okay,
Segment details
4:43–4:46 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_114whatever. So I want to try my build on
Segment details
4:47–4:49 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_115this boss before Baltius. What's his name?
Segment details
4:49–4:51 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_116Sully. He used to give me some problems
Segment details
4:51–4:54 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_117when I first attempted it. Because he
Segment details
4:54–4:56 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_118keeps moving around so much. Where is he?
Segment details
4:57–4:59 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_119I wish hard lock was just automatically on
Segment details
5:00–5:02 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_120all the time. I didn't have to turn it on.
Segment details
5:03–5:04 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_121Maybe there's a setting.
Segment details
5:05–5:06 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_122This guy's so annoying because he moves a
Segment details
5:09–5:11 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_123lot.
Segment details
5:11–5:11 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_124Yeah, he's kind of hard because he kind of
Segment details
5:15–5:19 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_125stuns you a lot too.
Segment details
5:19–5:20 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_126And, uh, he had— he has those missiles
Segment details
5:27–5:29 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_127that do a lot of damage.
Segment details
5:29–5:30 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_128I think I got him. Well, he just healed
Segment details
5:35–5:38 · rev_04064528da4924c1396a5cab637c8d67_129Yeah, this guy's really annoying. Thought
Segment details
