Armored Core 6. Ch1. Battle Log summary

🦾Armored Core 6: “Fires of Rubicon”

📝What is the Battle Log?

After being invited to the mercenary support program “Log Hunt,” the Battle Log that needs to be collected is introduced in a new message from All Mind after clearing the “Grid 135 Cleanup” mission.

Invitation message for Log Hunt

In the REPLAY MISSION menu, if you look to the right of each mission record, you’ll see that the BATTLE LOG in the REWARD section first appears in the ‘Destroy the Transport Helicopters’ mission, which is achieved by defeating the single MT present in that mission. There are no logs available before this mission.

Once you collect a battle log, detailed information is not available immediately after the mission results screen; it is simply displayed as progress in the Log Hunt program.

Battle log grade indicators

The clear conditions vary depending on the mission, including targets, the number of objectives, time limits, and other factors.

Regarding the battle logs that appear in Chapter 1, red indicates a Light MT, light blue indicates a Medium MT, and yellow indicates a Named one. Therefore, it seems that the white icon on the left represents the most difficult battle log.

Differences by color in battle logs

Depending on how many battle logs you have, the ARENA and OS TUNING menus will appear later, allowing you to upgrade using chips as rewards from battles with other AC units.

Battle logs are marked as COMPLETE when finished, or NOT COMPLETE if not.

Battle Log and reward information displayed under Reward after mission clearance

If you clear a mission and the battle log shows nothing under REPLAY MISSION instead of NOT COMPLETE, it means there are no battle logs in that mission. For example, “Grid 135 Cleanup” has no battle logs.

Information for each mission displayed in the replay list

In missions without a battle log due to the recent game update, there is nothing next to the reward amount, as shown in the second example in the list below. In missions where the battle log has not been achieved, the battle log icon appears translucent and has a slash through it instead of a check mark, as shown in the third example.

Completed missions, like “Survey the Uninhabited Floating City” and “Attack the Old Spaceport” in the first and fourth examples below, are indicated by a clear icon with a check mark in the checkbox next to it.

Information list to check for the presence and completion status of battle logs

During gameplay, battle log units display a log mark, as shown in the blue circle in the screenshot below. However, this mark is only visible until you clear the unit. Once cleared, it will not appear when replaying.

「Operation Wallclimber」 — 3 LMTs

⭐Difficulty: ★☆☆☆☆

1️⃣2️⃣3️⃣3 LMTs

At the start of the mission, go straight to the far left of the stage, and you will find it at the location shown in the screenshot below.

You can easily take down these Light MTs by either destroying the rear turrets first or simply passing by while firing plasma missiles. There are three battle log Light MTs: 2 at the location with the log information and one more on top of the building behind.

「Retrieve Combat Logs」 — AC 「Little Ziyi」

⭐Difficulty: ★★☆☆☆

Little Ziyi is quite foul-mouthed, but the difficulty level is relatively easy. However, I indicated the difficulty slightly higher because this mission has a time limit.

Most of the information collected during the mission consists of Combat Logs and is not included in the Battle Log.

「Attack the Watchpoint」 — AC 「Sulla」

⭐Difficulty: ★★★☆☆

1️⃣AC Sulla

It’s relatively stronger than the units encountered before… For such a strong enemy, it talks a lot and constantly taunts you, seemingly trying to engage in psychological warfare. It annoyingly keeps kicking you at every opportunity. Since it appears right before the resupply, you can use up all your ammunition on this enemy.
