Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon is just about to be released. The mecha-shooter will launch on August 25. So prepare yourself for some epic boss-battles! Here is how to obtain new parts in Armored Core 6.

How To Get New Parts In Armored Core 6

To acquire new parts in Armored Core 6, there are two main methods: completing special missions called Loghunt bounties or purchasing them from the parts shop.

Getting new parts from the shop is simple. Just play more of the game, finish missions, and you'll gradually unlock new parts for purchase. Completing missions is also the fastest way to earn money, which you can use to buy the parts you want to try out.

Loghunts are a bounty system available early in Chapter 1. After completing the "Destroy Artillery" mission, you'll unlock Loghunt bounties. These involve defeating powerful enemies during different missions and retrieving their combat logs. Doing this earns you experience for your Hunter Rank, and advancing in rank rewards you with special new parts.
