If you’re the type of gamer who loves stats and specs, you’re in for a real treat when it comes to Armored Core 6. You can use the simple menus to quickly gauge how well your AC will perform with the various builds, or you can bring up the detailed menu and have a visual feast of numbers and stats. However, it can be a little overwhelming at first, so here is a quick explanation of the detailed specs and stat view in Armored Core 6.

Armored Core 6 detailed specs explained

The specs are split into AC and Parts. One of them determines how well the frame of your Armored Core will function, while the other will determine your weaponry and extras.

• ANTI-KINETIC DEFENSE – Defense against kinetic weaponry.
• ANTI-ENERGY DEFENSE – How well you withstand energy weapons.
• ANTI-EXPLOSIVE DEFENSE – Resistance against explosive assault.
• ATTITUDE STABILITY – This is your stagger resistance. It is the sum of all your parts. The higher the number, the more stagger resistance. Also known as ACS.

• TARGET TRACKING – When you lock onto an enemy, this determines how likely you are to hit the target. The Firearm Specialization spec of arm parts contributes to this value.

Booster stats

• BOOST SPEED – How fast you can move with boosters. A Higher booster thrust and lower overall weight of the AC contribute to this value.
• QB SPEED – How fast your boosts will make you move.
• QB EN CONSUMPTION – How much EN or energy your Armored Core will use when boosting.
• QB RELOAD TIME – This is the speed your boost will reload, resulting in quick, agile Armored Core stats.

• EN RECHARGE DELAY – When grounded and out of EN, this determines the delay before you regain your EN.
• EN OUTPUT – Amount of EN your Armored Core can produce.

Load and weight stats

• TOTAL WEIGHT -The collective weight of all parts on the Armored Core. A higher number affects the movement speed and EN use.
• TOTAL ARMS LOAD -Total weight of all equipment on your arms.
• ARMS LOAD LIMIT – The limit of what your arms can carry. Stronger arms can carry more. However, going over the limit will affect tracking and recoil stats.
• TOTAL LOAD -Total weight of all parts, excluding the legs.
• LOAD LIMIT – Leg weight limit. A higher limit allows for heavier parts in total.
• TOTAL EN LOAD – The energy load of the sum of all Armored Core parts. If you go beyond this stat, you cannot sortie your Armored Core.
• CURRENT LOAD – A complete load of your Armored Core in comparison to the total maximum load. If you exceed this stat, you cannot Sortie.
• CURRENT ARMS LOAD – This is how much your arms are carrying in comparison to your arm’s maximum load. You can exceed this stat, but your aim and recoil are going to suffer on your Armored Core.
• CURRENT EN LOAD – How much drain your Armored Core is doing on your total EN capacity. You cannot sortie if this is over the threshold.
