After 200 hours of intensive worm punching, Rubicon Karate master melees Armored Core 6's Ice Worm to death without taking damage

A mech flies near a giant robotic worm in Armored Core 6.

While Armored Core 6 is a game packed with FromSoft spectacle, its most memorable mission might be the battle against the Ice Worm, which sees the player pilot and Rubicon's competing mercenary companies join forces to destroy a rampant, robotic behemoth. Typically players are expected to use a weapon specifically designed to pierce the Worm's nigh-unbreakable shields, but that instruction has driven true AC6 sickos to prove their mech piloting prowess by destroying the mechworm without the Stun Needle Launcher.

In November, X user @IBIS824101 put out a call for AC6 aces to go even further by toppling the Ice Worm without the Stun Needle Launcher and while taking no damage. Earlier today, user @2K_heso posted a late response with an additional escalation of his own: He destroyed the Ice Worm without taking damage, without the Stun Needle Launcher, using only melee combat.
