Here is the Armored Core VI: Fires Of Rubicon Stargazer guide which will help you clear all Missions. There are, in total 59 found throughout 3 playthroughs as long as you are going after the required endings.
The endings you are going for play a big part in the Missions you need to complete as certain Missions are considered “Decision Missions” whereby completing one Mission will then cancel another until your next playthrough.
There are 3 endings in the game and following along with their respective guides will help you achieve each of the endings in the game which are:
You will naturally complete all Missions as you work towards the different endings, however, to make things easier, I will list every Mission below broken down into their respective chapters which are:
Each Chapter will have Alt Missions and or other Missions added as you progress through both New Game + and New Game ++ (your 2nd and 3rd playthroughs ) so if a Mission listed below isn’t there on your first run, don’t worry.
Also, I will add the information down below for the Missions you need to choose as you work towards a given ending and like I said, completing that Mission will then cancel out the other Decision Mission but these are accessible in your subsequent playthrough(s).
Chapter 1
Chapter 1 is of course where you start the game and the first Mission is a tough welcome in a dedicated AC, once you get past it though the game opens up and you can really start enjoying the World of Armored Core VI: Fires Of Rubicon.
You will find, in total 14 Missions in Chapter 1 which are:
- Illegal Entry.
- Destroy Artillery Installations.
- Grid 135 Cleanup.
- Destroy the Transport Helicopters.
- Destroy the Tester AC.
- Attack the Dam Complex. (New Game + Alt Mission details added). (New Game ++ Alea lacta Est Ending details added).
- Destroy the Weaponized Mining Ship.
- Escort the Weaponized Mining Ship. (NG++, 3rd Playthrough).
- Operation Wallclimber.
- Prisoner Rescue. (New Game ++, 3rd Playthrough).
- Obstruct the Mandatory Inspection. (New Game ++, 3rd Playthrough).
- Retrieve Combat Logs.
- Investigate BAWS Arsenal No. 2.
- Attack the Watchpoint.
The majority of the Missions found in Chapter 1 will help ease you into the game, you will also earn a ton of gear along the way so ensure you check out the different weaponry, external and internal parts you acquire as they can seriously increase your lethality in combat.
Chapter 2
Chapter 2 is where the story starts making a bit of sense which is a big step forward for a FromSoftware game. You will also have some heavy hitting bosses to contend with along the way so I hope you paid attention in Chapter 1.
You will find 4 Missions in total throughout Chapter 2 which are:
- Infiltrate Grid 086.
- Stop the Secret Data Breach. (New Game ++, 3rd Playthrough).
- Eliminate the Doser Faction.
- Ocean Crossing.
With you having just been fired across the Ocean, you will land in the hard hitting Chapter 3 so before you get crushed, ensure you are completing the Arena battles which you can see by checking out the Master of Arena guide.
Chapter 3
Chapter 3 is where the game steps up its difficulty, you will have new enemies to take down, incredibly challenging bosses and a plethora of new gear to help you power through anyone and anything in your way.
There are a total of 16 Missions to be found in Chapter 3 throughout your 3 playthroughs with some very important Decision Missions which determine the ending you will achieve so ensure you choose correctly for the playthrough you are on. The Missions in Chapter 3 are as follows:
- Steal The Survey Data.
- Attack the Refueling Base.
- Eliminate V.VII.
- Tunnel Sabotage.
- Prevent Corporate Salvage of New Tech. (New Game + Mission). Choose this Mission if you want the Liberator Of Rubicon Ending (This mission will cancel Mission 4 and will be easier in NG+).
- Survey the Uninhabited Floating City. (Alt Mission New Game ++ details added).
- Heavy Missile Launch Support.
- Eliminate the Enforcement Squads. Choose this Mission if you want The Fires of Raven Ending (This mission will cancel Mission 8 and is recommended to choose on your first playthrough).
- Destroy the Special Forces Craft. Choose this Mission if you want the Liberator Of Rubicon Ending (This mission will cancel Mission 7 and will be easier in NG+).
- Attack the Old Spaceport.
- Eliminate “Honest” Brute.
- Defend the Dam Complex. (New Game + Mission).
- Defend the Old Spaceport.
- Historic Data Recovery.
- Coral Export Denial. (New Game ++ Mission).
- Destroy the Ice Worm.
Once the Ice Worm has been taken down the PCA will then retreat and stop their assault on Rubicon, however, the Corporations will then step up their Coral siphoning efforts.
Chapter 4
Chapter 4 is tough, you are sent deep down into the bowels of Rubicon as you try and discover the lost secrets of the fallen civilisation, getting there will take you past some of the toughest bosses and encounters in the game then when you get there, you will have a next level opponent to take down.
You will have a total of 8 Missions to complete as you progress through your 3 playthroughs with some very important decisions to be made along the way with the Missions being the following:
- Underground Exploration – Depth 1.
- Underground Exploration – Depth 2. (Alt Mission details added for New Game ++).
- Underground Exploration – Depth 3.
- Intercept the Redguns. Choose this Mission if you want The Fires of Raven Ending (This Mission will cancel Mission 5 and is recommended to choose on your first playthrough).
- Ambush the Vespers. Choose this Mission if you want the Liberator of Rubicon Ending (This Mission will cancel Mission 4 and is recommended to choose on your second playthrough).
- Eliminate V.III. (New Game ++). (Choose this Mission if you’re going after the Alea lacta Est Ending which I highly recommend doing so on your third playthrough).
- Unknown Territory Survey.
- Reach the Coral Convergence. (Alt Mission details added for New Game ++).
With Chapter 4 complete, you will then be deep in the endgame of Armored Core VI: Fires Of Rubicon where, depending on the choices you have made throughout the game will then determine the Missions and ultimately the ending you will encounter in Chapter 5.
Chapter 5
Chapter 5 is where the story of Armored Core VI: Fires Of Rubicon concludes and is dependant on the Missions you decided to play through in the previous chapters. Your decisions are made and locked in so the Missions you encounter in Chapter 5 will be pre-determined by your choices then, once completed will reward with a particular ending for the game.
Your next playthrough will begin immediately after the credits roll so if there’s anything you have left or want to do on your current playthrough, ensure you do so before completing the final Mission in your current playthrough.
The Chapter 5 Missions and the endings they unlock are as follows:
- Escape.
- Take the Uninhabited Floated City.
- Intercept the Corporate Forces. Choose this Mission if you want The Fires of Raven Ending (This Mission will cancel Mission 4 and is recommended to choose on your first playthrough).
