Wipeout Omega Collection: Auricom Prototype pacifist challenge (Sol A+ challenge, no weapons)
63Once again bringing a peaceful tank to a race ;P
Much harder this time around compared to the first time I did this. Shield energy management was very critical to success here. There are so many barrel roll spots its tempting to get all of them, but then you will run into the issue that the shields won't recharge quickly enough for this to be sustainable. At most I found the two spots I did barrel rolls on to be viable without depleting all my energy too early.
For the uninitiated:
The Auricom prototype is a fighter class craft whose gimmick is that it cannot be slowed down by weapons. It shrugs off the slow down effect completely and maintains its speed regardless. It also has a self-recharging shield (approx 1% every 2 seconds). This sounds great on paper.
However the drawbacks is the large size (big hitbox!), heavy handling and weight (not as bad as Pir-hana prototype, but still heavy handling), lack of ability to absorb weapons for health, the fact you cannot pick-up any green weapon (no turbos! :[ ) and it is very slow at 50 speed. its also surprisingly fragile despite being an Auricom which specialise shields, pair that with a slow recharge rate and you die quite frequently in this thing o.O
The meta for combat in 2048 makes this a very unfavourable choice.
Nevertheless, this is a fun challenge and I recommend it to all the pros who want to work for a 1st place. Sadly RNG plays a big part, but skill is still very much key to success.
