The mech in the pre order bonus can be acquired normally though gameplay. So you haven't missed out on anything.
Armored Core VI - Fires of Rubicon
- Thread starter jennidc
- Start date
Thankfully didn't take me that long, just too many attempts that finished at like 10%, I've found missions fast and enjoyable so far, I ended up going to bed last night after a good few attempts on the juggernaut boss tho
Really enjoying it myself, and thankfully no it's not a souls game skinned with mechas
As a update too, defeated the juggernaut couple times now (farmed it for currency), I'm using a energy weapon build and it just smokes everything
Picked this up to kill time before Starfield comes out. Had fun with it this evening but I did find the first boss challenging. A bit unfair that he can fly outside the arena boundary and attack you with impunity. Found the battle a bit "RNG" in that respect ... on the attempt I killed him he went down quickly because he mostly stayed within the arena and I could melee him to death.
Not even remotely Souls-like. It's a mecha game through and through. The core gameplay is running repeated ( short ) missions, earning credits that you can spend on upgrades for your mechs. There is a ton of equipment, weapons etc allowing for a wide variety of customisation & playstyles. Haven't tried the competitive multiplayer mode yet but I can see this attracting a strong PvP scene. In the campaign difficulty is all over the place, so in that sense it's very much a From game !

I hit a wall last night with the boss balteus. I spent 2 hours this morning until I managed to finally beat him with a simple tank build - 2 laser pistols and 2 laser canons (to obliterate his shield).
I beat him with literally a millimetre of health left but it felt oh so good.
I then beat all the rank e arena quests with the same build 1st time.
The next level seems huge a bit similar to the factory level in the first pre launch gameplay footage, I found a few hidden enemy ac characters in the level buy died to one.
This game is a must buy in my opinion.

I struggled on that boss too, first one that is the kinda "this is ********" bosses fromsoft sometimes has, on my try that killed him I missed my L3 + triangle attack so got mad and went really aggressive and that seemed to be the trick
I'm struggling myself, heard some say to use the buster cause it'll break it pretty easy, then others are using tank setup with Gatling guns and rocket launchers
Balteus is easy with shield break pulse gun and only use it on his shield..
Stack AP and then unleash with strong shoulder weapons and sword... Did him on my 3rd attempt.
Game is goty for me so far but there's still a lot coming out October/November time

I was talking about sea spider
I used reverse joint legs with with the thrusters that have low delay time between dodges. You may need to dodge twice and potentially backwards to avoid his slam attacks. You will want weapons that allow you to keep moving while shooting.

I did the same, even with this build it still took me 2 hours last night and 4.5 hours today. It was another skin of my teeth victory but it felt great.
On ps5 I've switched overboost to circle so now my assault armor is super easy to hit with standard boost on l3 which helped.
I've just beaten all the rank d arenas with my trusty tank with 2x laser pistols and 2x laser rifles. I used the os chips to upgrade my health pack, upgrade my direct damage by 5% and to upgrade my damage mitigation by 3%.
