This title features fast and fluid action, impressive particle effects, and the ability to customize many elements of the mech.

7Skip The Intro
One of the annoying aspects of booting up a game is encountering several title screens and logos.

While those few minutes might not sound like much, it can become irritating over several play sessions.

6Build Anything
While Armored Core 6 allows for weighty customization of each mech, such as legs, arms, and generators, some combinations create problems. You may have chosen specific parts only to experience an “EN Shortfall” or “Overburdened” message.

TheBuild Anything mod by BARONincreases the load limits of limbs and enhances EN output for more freedom during customization. The additional options available to you during customization make designing a mech even more exciting, with previously unavailable combinations freely unlocked.
5First Person Camera
For some, a first-person perspective offers greater immersion, bringing you closer to the action. While Armored Core 6 is a third-person experience by default, there is now an option to play in a first-person mode.
With theFirst Person Camera mod by neburas, you may tackle FromSoftware’s mech from a cockpit view rather than from behind. The mod author does warn users not to activate this mod during online play as it could affect performance or trigger Easy Anti Cheat systems.

You can unpack, decompress, and separate out the folder locations for things like textures, character models, and game frameworks.

3Text Size Increase
Depending on a number of factors, such as age, screen resolution, and monitor size, it can be challenging to make out in-game text. Nothing is more frustrating than missing a vital story point or directive due to an inability to read it clearly.
Luckily,Text Size Increase by Xarranthas made Armored Core 6 more accessible for everyone. With countless text describing parts, you no longer need to squint to make out the details. This mod should come in handy with two options that include large and extra-large text. It may not be the most exciting edition to Armored Core 6, but it could be beneficial if you need help deciphering the small default text.
2No AC Restrictions - Use Your Own AC
While each mech unit in Armored Core 6 offers advantages and disadvantages, a customized build is usually the preferred choice. However, some missions in the game require you to utilize prebuilt models instead of the customized one.

With theNo AC Restrictions – Use Your Own AC mod by Mattoropael, you can avoid stepping outside a custom mech for certain portions of the game. However, while the in-game action will show the custom mech, cutscenes will not and instead show the previously required prebuilt unit.
1Furo’s AC Rebalance
Sometimes, even though a developer produces a fantastic game, little tweaks can help even out the experience. Some mods, likeFuro’s AC Rebalance by FuroCindras, address some imbalances in the combat system. Creating the ideal weapon stats that aren’t under or overpowered can be tricky. However, with increased bullet speed, this mod takes a crack at it and buffs certain weaker-performing parts.
Bear in mind that changing certain aspects of weapon behavior within the game’s default parameters shouldn’t be attempted with online play. Those who try out PvP online may trigger the anti-cheat system and become banned.
