Hello and welcome back to Rock Paper Shotgun. Now, as we’ve all learnt to expect from FromSoftware games, chaotic mech shooter Armored Core 6: Fires Of Rubicon is devilishly difficult at times. The HUD, the intricate ballet of bullets and explosions, the strange movement of your mech… Let’s just say it’s not a terribly beginner-friendly game. But with the right tips and a focused mind, you’ll soon be able to tear apart the competition and complete missions at S-Tier rank in minutes.
In this video, we’ve put together our list of 20 essential Armored Core 6 tips and tricks for beginners. If you’re struggling against a particular mission or enemy, this guide will furnish you with all the practical advice you’ll need to turn the tables and become a top-tier mechanised hunter. Before you know it, you’ll be able to get all of the Rubicon you desire without having to ask your Dad to buy you a can from a big Sainsbury’s or a random fish and chip shop. That’s a UK-specific joke for you all there.
