Did not know you had been signing up for a treasure hunt, did you?
Armored Core 6 is primarily a sport about blowing up massive, highly effective mechs with your individual monstrous machine, however generally there’s a bit of downtime between the preventing. And what’s a mech pilot meant to do with a bit of peace and quiet? On Rubicon 3, the perfect use of that point is looking for hidden chests that include improve components in your mech.
A few of Armored Core 6’s levels are massive, whereas these mech half chests do not even come as much as your mech’s knee. In different phrases, they’re straightforward to overlook. On this AC6 chest information I will present you the place to seek out all of the chests I’ve found in my very own playthrough, and in addition offer you some recommendations on monitoring the chests down your self should you’re sport for a treasure hunt.
Gentle spoilers for mission names and places beneath.
Find out how to discover Armored Core 6’s hidden half chests
One among your mech’s primary skills in AC6 is Scanning, which emits a pulse to spotlight close by enemies and hidden objects. Scanning is the easiest way to trace down chests until you need to exhaustively scour each map. However as I discussed in my Armored Core 6 suggestions information, there is a trick to getting essentially the most out of that Scan means.
Each head half in your AC has a stat referred to as “Scan Distance” that is not instantly seen within the AC Meeting menu or within the Components Store. To see it, it is advisable press the “Toggle Show button (Y on a controller, F key on keyboard) to increase the total stat breakdown for the components you are cobbling collectively. Scan Distance can vary fairly a bit: I’ve one head half with a 280 meter vary, whereas one other from late within the sport with a 700(!) meter vary.
I like to recommend assembling a scouting-focused mech utilizing the top with the very best Scan Distance stat out there to you, in addition to a booster that prioritizes whole thrust so you’ll be able to cowl floor extra shortly. Head components even have a Scan Impact Period stat that is not fairly as vital for locating chests, since you actually simply want the spotlight to pop up in your display that will help you zero in in your goal.
As soon as you have cleared a mission, you’ll be able to deal with it once more from the Replay Mission menu and go on the hunt for hidden chests. Under are those I’ve discovered up to now.
