Want to get parts in Armored Core 6 Fires of Rubicon? It goes without saying that unlocking new parts is rather key to the mech building mechanics of From Software’s Armored Core series. But how exactly do you get your hands on all the best parts that the game has to offer?
In this guide, we’ll go over all of the ways you can get parts in Armored Core 6 to perfect and optimise your builds and loadouts. You’ll be well prepared to face off against bosses like Balteus and the Sea Spider in no time.
How to acquire mech parts in Armored Core 6
To get new parts, you’ll need to either unlock special parts through completing Loghunt bounties, or through buying them in the parts shop.
Unlocking new parts in the shop is fairly straightforward. Just play more of the game and complete new missions, and you’ll gradually unlock new components for purchase. Completing missions is also your fastest and easiest way to earn money, which’ll help you afford any parts you really want to try out.
Loghunts meanwhile are a kind of bounty system that you’ll unlock early into Chapter 1 – for us it unlocked after completing the “Destroy Artillery” mission early into the game. This system requires you to defeat and retrieve combat logs from particularly powerful enemies you’ll be able to encounter during different missions. Doing so will earn you experience for your Hunter Rank, and ranking up will reward you with special new parts to equip.
What parts are there in Armored Core 6?
As with its predecessors, the whole point of parts is to give you maximum customisation over as much of your mech as possible, while retaining balance and avoiding overcomplication. In Fires of Rubicon, you’re able to customise the following parts on your mech.
- Head
- Arms
- Legs
- Core
- Generator
- FCS (guidance system)
- Boost Thrusters
- Operating System (grants access to new features like Assault Armour)
- Left hand weapon/equipment.
- Right hand weapon/equipment
- Left shoulder weapon/equipment
- Right shoulder weapon/equipment
By the end of Chapter One, you should find that you have several different options for each of these sections, giving you an excellent amount of build variety.
That covers everything you’ll need concerning how to get parts in Armored Core 6. If you don’t want to storm into battle to test your new builds though – don’t worry. With access to a training mode, a test mode, and the Armored Core 6 Arena, you’ve got plenty of ways to try out new parts before committing to completing a mission with that design.
Are there radiators in Armored Core 6?
Radiators are not their own part in Armored Core 6, instead coolant and overheating management are integrated into the functions of the generator parts.
What’s the most important AC part in Armored Core 6?
Generators may be the most important AC part for Armored Core 6, as they determine your maximum energy capacity, how fast energy recharges, and control cooling systems for your mech.
