Armored Core 6 multiplayer explained

Yes, Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon does have multiplayer as it features 1v1 and 3v3 modes. In these modes, players will compete in an arena to determine the superior mech pilot.

Speaking about PvP, game director Yamura told PC Gamer, “There is a PvP mode, online PvP that has both 1v1 and 3v3 matches. The idea behind the 3v3 is more of a ‘mecha festival,’ with metal flying everywhere.”

While multiplayer is part of Armored Core 6, it might’ve not been From’s core focus during development. Yamura hinted in another interview that PvP will not be as grand as past Armored Core games. “Armored Core 6, the main thing we wanted to concentrate on was the single-player campaign, so that’s the main meat of the content… no bells and whistles online versus mode for the real hardcore fans,” said Yamura to GameSpot. 

How to unlock multiplayer mode in Armored Core 6

To unlock multiplayer mode in Armored Core 6, players need to finish chapter two which ends after Mission 14: Ocean Crossing. This is to make sure that players get used to the basic mechanics of the game. You can later access the multiplayer mode by going to the Garage menu and selecting NEST.

Does Armored Core 6 have co-op?

Unfortunately, Armored Core 6 does not have a co-op mode. This means that you cannot team up with other players to complete missions or fight enemies in the game. The only multiplayer option available in Armored Core 6 is PvP, where you can challenge other players in 1v1 or 3v3 matches.

The game focuses on individual player strategy and customization, rather than cooperative gameplay. Therefore, if you are looking for a co-op experience in Armored Core 6, you will be disappointed. However, if you enjoy competitive and fast-paced mech combat, you might still find the game enjoyable and exciting.
