Melee on Right Arm.

[Kazeck]

Is it just not possible to get melee weapons for the right arm? I'd like to do a duel blade build, and I really dislike the specific melee to left hand.

I also miss shoulder mounts and old school tuning, but I really cannot stand the lack of melee on right hand.

[Shirakani]

This was what I wanted but apparently not possible *sigh*....

To be honest you only really need 1 melee anyways since when you land a hit and follow with a second in combo you always stagger them. 2 melee would be busted tbh since land 1 combo they are staggered then follow up with another right after. Best to use a shotgun stagger with melee then blast in the face you can always use a shield on shoulder to block as you close the gap.

Every AC game I've played, I've duel bladed on a light mech for my preferred build. idc if I only 'need' one.

Also I hate these Souls game style shields, I like the souls franchise, but these shields can get bent, I'd rather have AC4 primal armor projectors on my shoulders for passive shielding.

wait what, melee is locked into left hand.. i hoped i will later get it for right hand, im right handed and using melee in left hand feels awful for me.. Also i always did super fast dual blade builds to S rank AC games so its terrible news for me.

Shoulder mounts exist you just need to unlock it

Not what I mean, in AC4/Answer we had shoulder mounted weapons but also a SHOULDER Slot, it covered stuff like Chest Rockets, shield boosters, extra thrust boosters, it was basically...in dark souls terms, a ring slot.

yeah there is a weapons bay you unlock, but you have to sacrifice that side's back weapon for it. I don't like having my melee on left click and shoot on right click so I just reversed the bindings for left and right weapon. with how strong swords are in this game I feel like double sword would be possibly OP. It's also weird to me you have to buy the same gun for each arm even though it is just a gun you hold in your hand lol, you cannot change hands you have to buy one for the other hand.

In this your "ring" slot is basically your expansion slot for assault armor, pulse armor, etc.

I again...that is not what I mean.

In AC4 there were SHOULDER MOUNTED LEFT AND RIGHT WEAPONS
BUT ALSO A CENTER SLOT, some people call it a 'chest' slot, but it also had shoulder attachments in some cases, it was complicated.

Have a reddit discussing it even
https://www.reddit.com/r/armoredcore/comments/esm5an/chest_gun_useful_or_just_for_show/

They were used for anti-missile, chaff, boosters, armor boosters etc. It was an accessory slot basically, in ADDITION to the left and right shoulder.

Please learn how to read before you correct me on a franchise I've played for 2 decades.

ok buddy, I wasn't correcting you I was just offering some information. you didnt say ALSO A CENTER SLOT, you said "ALSO A SHOULDER SLOT" but whatever I was just trying to help, obviously you are an expert who has played this franchise for 2 decades so you don't need any help. Yet you're too dumb to figure out how to reverse your key binding and quit complaing

[Riftwalker]

you can double melee with shoulder mounts, but melee is too finicky for my tastes, any enemies that can dodge become really hard to hit if they decide to react to you pressing the melee key

It's not about the key binding, it's about being able to build a right hook with pile-driver. It's about duel swords, it's about all of the numerous things that were changed or left out for no reason.

I have the right to complain, you also have the right to be ignorant, so whatever.

Edit: Also maybe I wouldn't need duel melee if we had missions where we fought other AC's so small arms were more effective, as it is I need a weight effective weapons system.

Also more duels in general ffs.

Edit2: Also how about boosters fast enough to actually dodge these dark souls style mega bosses like the cleaner? I mean I loved Arms Forts, but they didn't tend to smash you into the ground and one shot you if you didn't fight them like a DS boss in an enclosed arena.

Before I could put my shoulder slots and my chest mount to speed, and become fast enough to dodge things relatively easily, as it stands it's nigh impossible even with an AC so fragile a stiff breeze KO's it.

How? I haven't figured out how to equip melee to the right shoulder, it isn't in the purchasable gear for me to get a right sided blade, can I swap the shoulders somehow mid mission?
