Master Armored Core VI's parts system! Learn about Unit, Frame, Inner, and Expansion parts, manufacturers like ALLMIND and Balam, and how to unlock new gear via missions and COAM.
Alright, let's talk about how you build your AC in Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon. It's not just about looks; the parts you choose are super important and totally change how you play. Think of it like this: you've got four main categories to mess with: * Unit Parts: These are your weapons, the stuff you equip on your arms and shoulders. They're how you dish out the pain. * Frame Parts: This is the actual body of your AC – the Head, Core, Arms, and Legs. These define your AC's basic stats and how it moves. * Inner Parts: These are the behind-the-scenes bits that affect how your AC handles. We're talking Boosters for your dodges and sprints, FCS for your targeting, and Generators for your energy supply. * Expansion: This is a newer category that gives you special abilities, like the powerful Assault Armor. You'll unlock these as you go. There are a bunch of manufacturers out there, each with their own flavor of tech. You'll see names like ALLMIND, Arquebus Corporation, Balam Industries, and Reuse and Development (RaD), among others. Each one makes parts with different strengths and weaknesses, so mixing and matching is key. So, how do you get your hands on all this gear? There are a few ways: 1. Buy 'em: You can spend your hard-earned COAM in the shop to pick up individual parts. 2. Mission Rewards: As you progress through missions and increase your LOGHUNT Hunter Rank, you'll unlock new parts. 3. Part Containers: Keep an eye out for these in missions! Sometimes you'll find new parts just lying around, waiting to be picked up. Don't be afraid to experiment! The best AC for one mission might not be the best for another. That's the beauty of customization in Armored Core VI.100% Human-Written. AI Fact-Checked. Community Verified. Learn how AntMag verifies content
