AC Gauntlet[]

Gauntlet is a heavyweight AC equipped with an overboost core, side shield extensions, back mounted pursuit missile launchers, a machine gun and spread howitzer. A heavily armored AC, Gauntlet is designed primarily for keeping its opponents at medium range where it could deal optimal damage. Its LANZAR missiles can end many battles before they even start. The AC's one downfall is its lack of mobility.

Gameplay[]

In-Game Information[]

Known for his spectacular boost charges, which are accompanied by constant volleys from both arms weapons. The pursuit missiles on the back of his AC serve him well and though some claim he is just lucky, his actions prove otherwise.

Strategy[]

Bison will begin fights by overboosting towards you while shooting his pursuit missiles. These can deal a lot of damage if you have no missile defense so having missile defense is recommended. After popping off a few shots from his pursuit missiles, he will swap to his machine gun and howitzer, which are somewhat less dangerous. His constant spraying of machine gun fire and high fire rate will make it difficult to dodge his shots, but owing to his slow speed on a tank and that the machine gun lacks punch, it's not too big a deal, though he does use it in conjunction with his spread howitzer so take note of this.

He will frequently use overboost to close the distance, but in turn this makes him vulnerable to overheating, so you can take advantage of that and hit him as hard as you can. And since he's a tank, his slow speed makes him an easy target.
