What are Armored Core 6 Parts?
One of Armored Core 6’s most prominent features is the player’s ability to customize their mechas. Doing so requires gamers to use COAM (in-game currency) and parts they find throughout their travels. These materials are usually obtained from completing missions. However, some hidden features require pilots to go the extra mile to find them.
Parts are not just for aesthetic purposes, as they mainly determine the stats and capabilities of your mecha. Several components constitute a mech, so knowing what you are missing can help gamers look for specific materials. Here are the types of parts in Armored Core 6:
- Arms
- Back
- Frame
- Inner
- Optional (Augments)
