Armored Core 6 has new customization options, offering countless combinations to make your Mech feel like home. I always like adding my own personal stamp to characters in games, and looking fabulous while making a scrap heap of my opponents is a must. But Mech customization in this game is more than just visually appealing. Let's take a deeper look at all the customization options available in Armored Core 6.
Customizing your Mech in Armored Core 6
To customize your Mech in Armored Core 6, you need to complete the first mission of Chapter One, Illegal Entry. After finishing off the AH12 Heavy Combat Helicopter, you will gain access to the Garage, where all the Mech customization happens. Once you have the AC Design option in your Garage menu available, you will be able to customize the following options for your Mech:
- Mech Parts
- Mech Paint
- Mech Decals
Armored Core 6 Mech Parts Customization
The Mech Parts Customization menu in Armored Core 6 allows you to swap different Parts for your Mech, making it more effective in combat. These changes will directly impact your Mech performance by changing your stats and how your Mech plays in general. You'll be able to customize every part of your Mech's body, its weapons, shoulder-mounted gear, and propulsion.
To choose the best Parts, you should focus more on your preferred playstyle than simply increasing your stats. If you desire a faster Mech that zips around the combat area, dodging bullets and rockets, you should go for a lighter-armed build with more mobility. On the other hand, if you're like me and want to create a land-crawling behemoth, you should invest in a four-legged variant or even a tank-like platform with treads.
Armored Core 6 Mech Paint Customization
The look of the Mech is really important to a lot of players, and showing off your personality in-game can be a very rewarding experience. This menu allows you to customize the color and shade of each Part however you want. Even weathering options are added, so whether you want your robot to look factory-new or like it's been through the hellfires of Rubicon, you can let your imagination run wild.
Armored Core 6 Mech Decals Customization
Decals allow you to make your Mech truly unique. Nothing adds more personality to your creation than your own customized Decal. Alternatively, you can pick any design or logo from the game and add multiple layers to the Decal for greater detail.
