C4-617 is an unnamed mercenary who pilots an Armored Core with an unknown name. Despite a lack of information on the character themselves, 617 leaves somewhat of a legacy in the events of Armored Core VI: they were one of Handler Walter's loyal "hounds", and was effective enough to earn a reputation among the mysterious handler's allies and enemies. Leading an assault on a PCA facility, accompanied by C4-619 and C4-620, 617 successfully destroyed the facility and a PCA SP craft; "CATAPHRACT". However, the assault cost all three "hounds" their lives, including 617 - nonetheless, their efforts weren't in vain, as this successful mission is what was "needed" to get a certain mercenary by the name of C4-621 to Rubicon 3 and the rest, as they say, is history.

As this is just a LOADER 4 with a somewhat better loadout, there's not much to say about C4-617's AC... it's better than the LOADER 4, I guess? This will be a recurring feature as we move into unnamed ACs with little-known pilots in future content, as I'm essentially just making my own builds (even if I do restrict myself) so I'm not entirely comfortable in reviewing them, especially compared to the in-game presets.

I also won't be doing 619 and 620, even though they have unique weapon loadouts; this is effectively the fourth C-2000 frame AC I've played (with NIGHTFALL, LOADER 4 and OG NIGHTFALL being the other three) and I'm not only rather tired of them but they wouldn't offer much in the way of variety at all.

But I'm far from done with videos; there are many unique ACs related to AC6 that I've yet to cover, so look forward to them!

| This is by no means a "guide" to show you how to play the AC; I'm sure there are far better players than me who can do more with these mechs. In the meantime, check out my preset gameplay showcases, all in one playlist:    • Preset AC Gameplay | Armored Core VI
