In Armored Core 6, Chapter 1 『Destroy Artillery Installations』, I will introduce the types of main targets and rewards, strategies for securing funds, methods for destroying enemy units depending on weapon selection, positions of the enemy base divided into three parts, how to utilize the radar, and approaches and tactics for each location.
※ The content below is slightly different from the Korean strategy guide.
I enjoy optimizing, so guides written later may be more optimized or have changed strategies. If necessary, I will update the previously written walkthrough later.

『Destroy Artillery Installations』
⚠️Main Objective (No Battle Log)
1️⃣2️⃣Mid-Range Artillery
3️⃣Mid & Long-Range Artillery
The blue circles indicate places where there are passable paths, and the blue arrows represent the movement route.
⚠️Points to Note
If you head straight to Area 1 from the mission’s starting point, you’ll be facing the artillery head-on and may come under attack. Similarly, if you move from Area 1 to face Areas 2 and 3, you’ll be exposed to frontal attacks from the artillery.
Although this mission is relatively easy, if you clear a mission multiple times aiming for an S rank in future missions, the enemy’s attack patterns will gradually adjust and change in response to your patterns, increasing the difficulty.
Therefore, if you find it challenging to reach an S rank, it’s better to quit and restart the mission without saving if you don’t achieve it within the time limit.
📝Types of Artillery
There are two types: mid-range artillery and long-range artillery with laser sights. Mid-range artillery fires shells in a parabolic trajectory over a 180-degree range and appears as shown in the screenshot below. There are 2 in Area 1, 3 in Area 2, and 2 in Area 3.
Long-range artillery, as shown in the screenshot below, has 2 units in Position 3. These have laser targeting systems, and because they fire fast shells directly at distant enemies, you must quickly evade when targeted by the laser sight.
💵Rewards by Type of Enemies
Generic weaonry: 800 each (helicopters, drones, bipedal robots, etc.)
Artillery: 2,000 each
Light MTs: 2,400 each
🔸My Chosen AC Combination
For tackling this mission with an S rank, I chose a lightweight mech with missiles capable of quickly attacking enemies directly in front. Even if not going for an S rank, having a lighter mech can be helpful for clearing the mission, especially when easily evading artillery attacks or numerous enemies.
💵 Strategy for Securing Funds
You can replay any mission as many times as you’d like, earning rewards each time. Consequently, you will never be short of funds to modify your AC. When you need funds to purchase desired items, you can clear an easy mission multiple times to gather sufficient funds.
🎯Strategy Order
Proceed in the order of 1, 2, 3. There is a safe route to approach each area.
🔷Destroy All Artillery Installations
🔹Safe route to approach Area 1
There is a route leading to the rear of Area 1 near the location with a fire on the left side of the Area 1 position. Refer to the screenshots below to defeat some generic weaponry and Light MTs and pass through.
If you go to the location marked with a blue circle, there is a route that leads to the rear of Area 1.
💠Area 1
Emerging at this location allows you to tackle the area without coming under artillery fire.
You can attack from right behind the artillery, and there are two LMTs on the overpass ahead.
🔹Safe route to approach Area 2
From Area 1, approach Area 2 not in the direction of the artillery but slightly to the right, staying out of the artillery’s range.
💠Area 2
As shown in the screenshot below, you can engage from outside the wall to take on the area without being targeted by artillery.
🔹Safe route to approach Area 3
Head past the destroyed building next to Area 2 to approach Area 3, staying outside the artillery’s range for attacks.
Once you pass through the location shown in the screenshot above, there are two Light MTs on the building to the left firing direct hits, and three Light MTs approaching below on the right.
For safety, evade the missiles from the Light MTs while taking them down. If your goal is an S rank, you can ignore both and simply fire missiles toward the destination as you are targeted.
💠Area 3
After passing through the above route, you will approach the side of Area 3 as shown below.
When taking on the final artillery area, if your goal is to destroy all surrounding enemies, leave one mid-range artillery intact. Destroying all primary target artilleries ends the mission immediately, regardless of ongoing combat with enemies.
To identify the remaining enemies, scan and refer to the radar at the bottom of the screen, which displays red dots, helping you locate and defeat all surrounding enemies.
🎯S rank Strategy
If you ignore the remaining enemies and destroy only the artillery, clear the mission in under 2 minutes without repairing your AC and taking minimal damage, you can achieve it.
The result in the screenshot below is from clearing this mission in 1 minute and 51 seconds.
At the end, to avoid taking damage as much as possible, it is recommended to use Assault Boost in the direction shown in the bottom right screenshot, similar to the boss fight in the “Illegal Entry” mission. There are no enemies in that direction.”
The damage I took was 1,174, starting with a total AP of 8,580 and having 7,406 AP remaining upon mission completion.
