Mission 02: Destroy Artillery Installations

Complete Mission 02: Destroy Artillery Installations in Armored Core VI. Use Assault Boost for quick strikes and target the artillery turrets' weak rear points.

Mission 02, "Destroy Artillery Installations," introduces players to the importance of environmental objectives and strategic movement within a combat zone. The primary goal of this mission is to locate and destroy several stationary artillery pieces that pose a significant threat to allied forces. To efficiently traverse the terrain and outmaneuver the enemy defenses, players are encouraged to utilize their Assault Boost ability. This allows for rapid bursts of speed, enabling quick repositioning and flanking maneuvers. The artillery turrets themselves possess weak points, typically located on their rear, which are vulnerable to concentrated fire. Players must carefully approach these installations, often guarded by MTs, and exploit these vulnerabilities.

Mindfulness of the MTs guarding the artillery is crucial. These units can provide covering fire and disrupt your attacks on the main objectives. A light and agile AC build, perhaps utilizing bipedal or reverse-jointed legs for enhanced mobility, can be advantageous in this mission, allowing for quick dodges and rapid repositioning. Alternatively, a build with strong ranged capabilities, such as a pulse rifle or a missile launcher, can help clear out the MTs from a safer distance before engaging the artillery. The mission serves as an early lesson in prioritizing targets and understanding how environmental elements can be both threats and strategic assets. Successfully destroying all the designated artillery installations will complete the mission and allow players to advance.
