How to Defeat Juggernaut in Armored Core 6

In the mission ‘Operation Wallclimber’ in Armored Core 6, you will be tasked to penetrate and climb The Wall and take it over for the Arquebus Corporation. However, when you reach the top you will be met with the Juggernaut, a big tank-like machine that is almost impenetrable to any damage, or so it may seem. During this fight, you will be accompanied by V.IV Rusty, an ally AC pilot but he will soon leave due to unknown reasons which you will find out later in the game.

In this guide, we will show you how you can defeat the Juggernaut in Armored Core 6 by using the right parts in your mech that can help this fight massively.

How to defeat Juggernaut in Armored Core 6 during Operation Wallclimber

The Juggernaut in Armored Core 6 is the first boss fight that truly forces you to adopt a certain build on your AC. It is because this fight requires a very specific approach which can be done way easier when using the right parts that complement the approach itself.

While you still have liberty in most of the parts you choose for this fight against the Juggernaut, there are some parts that are quite essential for this fight. Make sure you have Reverse-Jointed type legs, this is to ensure you can constantly jump in the air as these types of legs don’t consume EN to launch in the air.

The second essential part that you require is at least one Vertical Missle Launcher like the ‘BML-G1/PO1VTC-04’. While those parts are essential, it will also make the fight even easier if you focus your build on being agile and lightweight using any parts that can favor that. Also, try to bring down your EN load as much as you can so you can stay airborne and use Dodge or QB (Quick Burst) often.

Once you have built your AC with the parts mentioned above, it is time to move on to the strategy for this fight. Here is how you can defeat the Juggernaut in Armored Core 6:

• The Juggernaut takes little to no damage from the front and sides, but its weak spot sits right behind the armored plate on the front. The key to this fight is to get around him to its back and use most of your firepower there. It is useless hitting him from the front or sides as this will only waste your limited ammunition.

  

• Staying airborne as much as possible is the best tactic for this fight. The Reverse-Jointed legs as mentioned before will help you get into the air quickly and easily. When you are in the air, use your vertical missiles and they should land directly on top of its weak spot.

  

• Use your air maneuverability and speed to get around its back and try to deal as much damage as possible using close-range weapons and even melee attacks before it eventually turns around. Keep doing this consistently to build up its stagger/overload meter. Once overloaded, use all your firepower to deal massive damage.
• There are two distinct attacks the Juggernaut does. One of the attacks is a rush attack where it will dash at you with great speeds. This is where your light and agile build comes into play and you can also dodge this easily if you are high above in the air. Be careful of the mines that it drops along its path as it rushes towards you.

  

• The other attack you need to look out for is when the Juggernaut throws multiple mines around him in a circle like a perimeter defense meant to keep you from getting close. You will be able to spot them on the ground from the red glow around them. You can either try your best to keep airborne or you can keep your distance and let him move away from that spot.

  

• Keep avoiding these attacks by being airborne as much as you can and use your maneuverability to get behind him to hit the weak spot. Keep doing this until he is destroyed, successfully completing Operation Wallclimb.
