Why Armored Core 6’s First Boss Is So Hard To Beat

Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon is hard throughout, but even its first boss is a doozy. The first boss is the AH12-HC Helicopter, a giant, flying vehicle loaded with a huge arsenal of guns. It maintains a near-constant barrage of machine gun fire, punctuated with all kinds of powerful missiles that can easily knock the player flat. Worse still, as much damage as it can dish out, it can take without so much as a dip in altitude. However, there’s a secret to beating it, even if it doesn’t make the battle downright easy.
