This is my experience with Armored Core 6 “Fires of the Rubicon”.
I only cleared it once. I will introduce the missions I cleared from Chapters 1 to 5, battle logs, parts locations, changes depending on the mission selection, and other information I found out about the strategy and references.

First of all, this is not information on a perfect clear. Compared to when I couldn’t clear more than 3 missions in Armored Core 2 and 3, I’ve improved a lot… but I haven’t completely cleared it. I’m currently updating this article after clearing it once and trying missions I couldn’t clear before.

I still have a B rank for “illegal Entry” without repairing it.
