Gameplay[]
Chain Impact is the target of the mission Destroy the AC. Having stolen a prototype Mirage chipset, he is defeated by The Raven who was hired by Mirage.
In-Game Information[]
A stickler in his ways, he equips only high-speed, solid shell weapons. There is nothing fancy with regard to his combat style, but if he is able to draw and hold a bead on an opponent, they're in trouble.
Strategy[]
Chain Impact's strategy is fairly straightforward and simple. He will glide around the battlefield alternating between his machine gun arms or his chain guns, and occasionally take to the air. But even with his somewhat impressive firepower, his AC has a glaring weakness: paper thin durability. Valiant's AP is one of the lowest in the Arena, and it doesn't help that it uses weapon arms on a lightweight frame. With such crippled defenses, any kind of weapon is usable on Chain Impact, just be sure to avoid his machine guns & chain guns as they will cause you trouble if you absorb too many hits from them. However, Chain Impact's aim is rather lacking and he has no trigger discipline to speak of, so an AC with good strafing ability will easily exhaust his ammo reserves, securing a win.
In the mission, Chain Impact is fought in the extra mission of Defend Personnel Convoy, or if the player chooses not to take the extra mission they will face him in Destroy the AC. He is surprisingly easy to put down in this mission, going down in just a few shots from a powerful weapon. Even with the confined space you face him in which restricts movement, Chain Impact's mediocre piloting skills make him an easy target for any serious pilot. So long as you stay out of his line of fire, he poses zero threat.
