Successfully completing the mission to intercept the Redguns in Armored Core 6 can present a challenging and frustrating obstacle for players, particularly if they are unaware of how to confront the formidable Balam MTs that block their path. However, for those seeking a thrilling test of their piloting abilities against an onslaught of adversaries, this mission offers immense enjoyment.
As with any other mission in Armored Core 6, victory hinges on utilizing the appropriate AC parts and approaching the task with a well-thought-out plan. To assist players in emerging victorious from this solitary venture, a comprehensive guide encompassing both the construction of their AC and strategic approach has been compiled.
Intercept the Redguns Mission Guide
We recommend the following AC build due to the mission's challenging nature:
Head: HD-033 VERILL
Core: 07-061 MIND ALPHA
Arms: NACHTREIHER/46E
Legs: 06-041 MIND ALPHA
Boosters: ALULA/21E
FCS: FCS-G2/P05
Generator: VP-20D
Weapons: VP-66LH Laser Handgun (2x), Vvc-700LD Laser Drone, VP-60LT Laser Turret
This is a cutting-edge energy weapon assembly capable of effortlessly eliminating heavily armored enemies. The Laser Handguns possess the remarkable ability to dispatch any unshielded MT with just two shots, providing exceptional ammunition efficiency. Concurrently, the laser turrets prove indispensable in neutralizing pursuers, allowing players to evade and outmaneuver the oncoming wave of adversaries. The VP-20D generator easily bears the substantial energy load required by these formidable weapons.
To effectively navigate the arena, it is recommended to move in a clockwise or counter-clockwise direction. The mobility of the MTs is inferior to that of an AC, providing an opportunity for players to eliminate them using hit-and-run tactics. Position laser turrets in front of enemy groups and utilize drones to gradually weaken both Michigan and the tetrapods.
While circling the arena, it is important to prioritize the elimination of missile launcher MTs. These enemies can catch players off guard with their powerful attacks and can rapidly deplete the ACS meter if not dealt with promptly. As for the shielded MTs, use Assault Kick to break their defense and then swiftly attack them with two handgun shots. Continue this strategy until the Balam MT force has been completely eradicated, leaving Michigan as the sole opponent to face.
Michigan poses little opposition, but caution should be exercised due to his formidable arsenal and limited ammunition. Maintain agility, ensure each shot is purposeful, and victory will eventually be attained.
Armored Core 6 is currently accessible on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
