Armored Hongfeng

Armored Core 6's first gatekeeping boss, Balteus, was the scourge of players when the game first came out. Guides to beating Balteus immediately started popping up on YouTube — but they all used different Armored Core builds. Is it really hard to beat Balteus, or can just about any mech build do it? Polygon's Clayton Ashley and Patrick Gill explore why Balteus' design and array of weaponry are such a roadblock for Armored Core players, but also why Balteus teaches you exactly what you need to know to succeed at Armored Core 6. #armoredcore6 #fromsoftware
