Armored Core 6 mission list: Full list of chapters & how many to expect
Here's how long you will be fighting mechs in FromSoftware's latest game.
Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon has a substantial number of missions to complete over the course of its main story, so we've done the hard part and brought them all together in one convenient place for your viewing pleasure.
Developed by FromSoftware and published by Bandai Namco, Armored Core 6 launched globally across PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One and PC on 25th August 2023.
As the first new game in the series for almost a decade, it's no wonder why there are upwards of 50 missions to be completed.
To help better understand just how many chapters there are in Armored Core 6, we've rounded up every mission along with the extra missions needed to obtain 100 per cent completion. Head below to find out more.
How many Armored Core 6 missions are there?
There are a total of 59 missions split across five chapters in Armored Core 6, with three different endings available depending on the decisions you make along the way.
Not all of these missions can be unlocked the first time around, with 42 missions only available on your first play through.
Then, a further three can be accessed via New Game Plus and, finally, 14 more can be found in New Game Plus, offering a combined total of 17 additional missions.
A good way to know when you've unlocked all missions is when the "Stargazer" achievement is earned.
