Upon reaching Chapter 3 inArmored Core 6, players will begin to encounter missions that are marked as “Decision.” While some fans will pay little attention to this demarcation, others may want to know more about it before they proceed. This guide is written with that second group of players in mind, and details onArmored Core 6’s Decision Missions can be found in what follows.
Armored Core 6: Decision Missions Explained
To put things simply,Decision Missions inArmored Core 6appear in pairs, and the unselected mission will become inaccessible during the current playthrough. To concretize this idea with an example, the game’s first Decision pair appears near the middle of Chapter 3, and it requires players to pick between Eliminate the Enforcement Squads and Destroy the Special Forces Craft. If the player selects Eliminate the Enforcement Squads, they will not be able to play Special Forces Craft until their next playthrough, and the opposite also holds true.

As such, players are encouraged tobeatArmored Core 6multiple time, as that is the only way to play every Decision Mission in the game. There are also several missions that are exclusive to NG+ and NG++ playthroughs as well as multiple endings, providing further incentive for fans to return to the game after the end credits roll for the first time.
WhileArmored Core 6playersshould now have a solid understanding of how Decision Missions function, questions about the order in which they should be pursued may still linger. While fans are certainly free to use the missions' rewards and objectives to inform their decisions, it is recommended that they alwaysselect the top Decision Mission during their first playthrough, and alwaysselect the bottom Decision Mission during their NG+ playthrough. Indeed, this strategy makes it easy to keep track of unplayed Decision Missions, and it will guarantee that players receive two different endings at the conclusions of their first two playthroughs.
For NG++, two brand new Decision Missions will appear during the playthrough, and players should ensure to select them to accessArmored Core 6’s third ending. For full clarity, those missions areCoral Export DenialandEliminate V.III, and they are available during Chapters 3 and 4. Again, fans that do not pick those missions when they appear will need to pursue yet another playthrough if they want to earn the final ending.
Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubiconis available for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series S/X.
