How Armored Core 6 Puts a New Twist on a Classic Souls Weapon

Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon offers fans a break from developer FromSoftware’s modern formula. Reviving one of the developer’s oldest and most revered franchises, the title’s vehicular combat and linear missions are a nice change of pace from the open-world RPGs that the developer has come to be known for. While Armored Core 6’s storytelling adheres to its traditional presentation, the title’s gameplay has been infused with elements from the Souls series and Elden Ring, resulting in uniquely Soulslike twists on enemy design and cinematic boss battles. However, one instance sees Armored Core 6 put its own twist on a classic Souls weapon, the Moonlight Greatsword, evolving it to fit into the frenetic and futuristic battlefields of Rubicon 3.
