Master the Art of Swift Maneuvers in Armored Core 6: Unlocking the Secrets of Quick Turn and Maximizing Its Potential

Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon offers an extensive array of upgrades for ACs, enabling players to tailor their builds according to their individual play styles. Amongst these upgrades, there are a few that may pose some difficulty in understanding their functionality, such as the Quick Turn. This particular AC upgrade is designed to allow the FromSoftware mechs to execute swift turns with ease. However, it may seem redundant considering their existing maneuverability. The mechanics behind this upgrade are not immediately apparent, thus, certain players may seek a comprehensive guide on its proper usage.

How to Get Quick Turn in Armored Core 6

Acquiring this upgrade is a breeze; it can be found in the Armored Core store known as OS Tuning, and is priced at just one OST Chip currency. OST Chips are obtained solely by conquering Arena battles for the initial time, with an initial reward of one chip, but more demanding clashes yield a higher number of OST Chips. As Quick Turn is incredibly affordable, players can immediately obtain this upgrade upon completing their first Arena battle, should they desire to do so. Nevertheless, grasping the effective utilization of this valuable upgrade may pose a challenge initially.

How to Use Quick Turn in Armored Core 6

The instructions for utilizing Quick Turn in the menu are lacking specificity. Engaging the sprint button and utilizing directional movements only results in the AC performing standard quick movements. To effectively leverage the Quick Turn upgrade, it is crucial to maintain the sprint button pressed while executing a turn. By doing so, the mech synchronizes its movement with the camera, resulting in a complete 180-degree rotation when players simultaneously hold sprint and utilize the directional keys to turn. This advantageous feature grants players a superior vantage point of what lies ahead of the mech.

Feedback from PC players who prefer keyboard controls indicates that the movement experience may not be optimal. Shift serves as the sprint key for PC users, while movement is controlled using the WASD keys. Some players find it challenging to simultaneously press down Shift with their pinky finger while accurately maneuvering with the WASD keys. To overcome this hurdle, players can consider either switching to a controller for PC gaming or experimenting with using their left thumb to hold down Shift.

Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon is available for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series S/X.
