People that leave their ACs named LOADER 4 in PvP, why?

[SpaceGoat]

Why are you rocking a mech with the default name? Have you no creativity?

[Rainier]

I don't think people realize they can change their AC name, not just the data name

[REBirthTheEdge]

They just like that.

[Sparky]

does it matter? first world problem...

[SpaceGoat]

Just makes me wonder is all.

I worry about them because half of them are probably trying to lull you into a false sense of security

[Sand]

It all kills the same

Lol it doesn't do that for me. That only happened to me once, the first time I encountered a mech with no weapons equipped at all. I just stood there amused and looking at him until he ran up and stun locked me to death with a hail of punches. That was how I learned how fisticuffs work in AC6!

In past games there was usually a menu option that straight up said, "change AC name."
It took me a while to realize you had to press Y/Triangle or something to change it.

[AscendingHope]

they simply dont care and will either likely destroy you or just eat ♥♥♥♥

[Kurotoge]

Honestly I didn't know I could change the name of my AC till half way through my first playthrough.

[kripcision]

not a crucial thing to care about. i didnt change my AC name till i was already done the first playthrough.

Honestly, it gets frustrating to go and change sometimes. When I name one and go to change the build up a little and save, it will change it back to LOADER 4. Unless I reload the saved build first before I make changes then save it won't revert the name back to default.

In all honesty though, I only name the builds that I overcame a challenging in-game hurdle with.

this. Every loader4 I see is ruthless

I think it's a combination of laziness, lack of imagination, and simply not knowing how it's done.

There's even someone in this thread who clearly believes the only way to rename an AC is to do it in AC DATA. Which is not true. It can be done in ASSEMBLY by simply pressing 'start'. Then when you save the named AC in AC DATA it will have that name forever.

The game crashed the first time when I tried to name it in assembly so I don't bother naming it that way. Like I said earlier, I only name builds I overcame a challenging moment in-game.
