[quote=@Extra] Is it the only way to defeat it with energy based attacks? [/quote] Ragnisteel: more than likely. That armor plating is so strong that it can withstand nearly any cutting attack. Luckily, my blades are some of the sharpest in existence. So sharp that they can separate a material at a molecular level. Energy based attacks should burn through the material quite easily, though. *the metal gear roars, and attempts to stomp on me, as I raise my right hand to catch its foot, and I look at it* How rude. *sticks a blade in its foot, and moves, so when it crushes down, the blade explodes, demolishing its foot*
