As you fight across various locations on the Rubicon as Handler Walter‘s Augmented Human in Armored Core 6, you will start connecting the dots as to why you are here and what is your purpose. Decision missions help you solidify this purpose by allowing you to choose which side you want to help with this power of an AC in your control.
Let’s learn more about the Armored Core 6 Decision missions in detail and what is the outcome of them without giving away any major spoilers of the game.
What are the Armored Core 6 Decision missions?
Decision missions in Armored Core 6 are missions that define your choice of which side you want to take. This will happen at some point in the story when you will notice that one of the missions in your Sortie Missions menu says ‘Decision‘ at the bottom.
Whenever this is the case, there will be two missions on your Sortie mission list. You can only play one of the two missions that say “Decision” on them. Choosing to play one means the other one will not be there once you are back at mission selection. These two missions are essentially the two choices offered to you and picking a mission means picking that choice.
To understand more about what your choice will mean, make sure to play the Briefing Video by hitting ‘Confirm’ on one of the missions. Don’t worry, this will not lock you into that mission and you can still back out and watch the Briefing Video of the other one. The selection is only locked when you select the ‘Sortie’ option after the briefing which will start the mission. Our detailed blog on intercept corporate forces will help you eliminate Cinder.
What impact do Decision missions have in Armored Core 6?
Based on the choice of Decision missions you pick, you will be siding with one or the side in the narrative of Armored Core 6. There can also be a third side you can pick but only in New Game++. These choices can lead you to different endings in the game.
You are free to switch sides in every Decision mission opportunity. However, if you want the special endings, you need to stick to the same side for every Decision mission. Apart from the ending, the final missions will be very different based on which side you choose and you will also face completely different enemies for the final boss fight of the game.
That is all you need to know about Armored Core 6 Decisions missions. On a related note, as you reach the final chapters after these decisions, you are going to need to figure out how EN Load works to make the perfect builds for the endgame.
