AC Customization & Aesthetics

Learn about AC customization and aesthetics in Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon. Discover how to tune your OS, change coloration, and assemble the perfect AC for your playstyle.

Welcome to Armored Core VI, an approachable, highly polished mech combat game. The main focus is customising and optimising your AC (Armored Core) then taking on various missions. In the beginning, your build options will be more limited, with more varied parts and weapons unlocking throughout the game, allowing for the player to fine-tune and build an AC to their own preference and mission challenges. This section is all about the pure Armored Core VI experience, so immerse yourself without worry and enjoy.

When beginning your journey into Armored Core VI, it is recommended to take your time and enjoy the first playthrough completely blind. This can be done without worry in regards to achieving the platinum trophy. The game is very forgiving and allows access to most completed content in the game at all times, with a single exception that isn't relevant until much deeper into your journey with Armored Core VI. As such, playing freely and experimenting is encouraged.

Following that, it is recommended to take an active part in the 'Arena' throughout the casual playthrough, as it will be the main path to overarching upgrades across all AC setups the player may use. This connects into the biggest recommendation: experiment with your AC and loadout. This is the fastest and most effective way to gain a baseline understanding of what the player may favour in gameplay style, weapons, build, and overall approach to the game, with which, much deeper knowledge and understanding of the game is able to be achieved.

Note: Either of the The Fires of Raven or Liberator of Rubicon endings can be achieved in your first playthrough, so choose whichever, as there is no lasting effect so long as you do the other in the next playthrough.
