Software returns to the world of high-speed mecha action with the release of Armored Core 6. Fans of the Soulsbourne series seeking intense combat and challenging boss fights will not be disappointed. Dedicated Armored Core enthusiasts will find themselves engrossed for countless hours, meticulously refining and perfecting their mechanical marvels. The importance of carefully crafting builds remains just as significant in Armored Core 6 as it has been throughout the entire series.

An optimized AC has the ability to transform a challenging boss encounter into an effortless one, making it vital for players to continuously experiment with different weapons and components to determine their suitability for each situation. The EN Load, a constant stat displayed while equipping parts, plays a crucial role in determining the loadout of every AC created by the player. To understand how EN Load functions, fans can refer to this comprehensive guide.

EN Load Explained

The EN Load, displayed below the regular load meter, indicates the amount of energy needed to power the AC's current equipment. The small arrow above the EN Load meter represents the machine's limit. Going beyond this limit results in an EN Shortfall, preventing the AC from being launched due to insufficient energy. To increase the EN Load, it is necessary to equip a generator with higher EN output. It's important to consider the EN requirements of each part and weapon when constructing an AC, as it affects its overall power and functionality.

Load Limit Explained

The weight management for players includes another aspect, based entirely on the weight of their equipment. Similar to the equip load in the Soulsbourne series, players will need to consider the weight of their gear. Heavier components and weapons will contribute to a higher overall weight, subsequently slowing down the AC. However, players can mitigate this by selecting more durable legs, which will increase their load capacity. If the load limit is exceeded, the AC will become overburdened.

Arms Load Limit determines the maximum weight that the AC's arms can support. Opting for lighter weapons enhances accuracy and ensures that the reticule remains steady on the intended target. However, selecting heavier weapons will result in recoil, causing the AC to cease movement while firing. It is important to note that if the arms are overloaded, weapon accuracy will be compromised.

Weight Control OS Tuning

Exceeding the Load Limit will overburden the AC, preventing it from launching. To overcome this, players can obtain Weight Control units through OS Tuning. OS Tuning allows fans to purchase upgrades using OST Chips acquired from the arena. Equipping a weight control unit enables the player to utilize an Overburdened AC. During a mission, they can press the left button on the d-pad along with the corresponding weapons button to quickly remove unnecessary weaponry. This feature proves particularly beneficial for players utilizing lighter builds. It is even possible to equip heavy weapons on a light AC temporarily and discard them when no longer needed. By tinkering with AC builds, players can create the ultimate fighting machine.

Armored Core 6 is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
