The moment you startArmored Core 6, you’ll launch into your first real mission. While this mission does a good job of teaching you the ropes, you really shouldn’t skip the Training missions found in the garage. And here’s why.

Note:If you’re stuck on the first mission because you’re able to’t beatthe HC Helicopter, check out our guide to help you out. I struggled with that boss for a while too, but I learned an easy trick to ensure you beat it fairly easily.

Play through every Training mission inAC6

Even if you are a pro at FromSoftware games and you’ve played every singleArmored Coregame,I think you should play through the Training missionsinArmored Core 6. There aren’t that many Training missions and they are extremely short.

The main reason you should play every Training mission isyou will learn a lot. You quite literally get thrown intoArmored Core 6and learning everything can be very overwhelming. The Training missions break down all the basics into bite-sized encounters to help you learn how to playAC6— and they are all replayable.

Another major reason to not skip the Training missions is that you get toplay as a premade mecha and experience different weapons and playstyles. The mecha legs you select inArmored Core 6can drastically change your playstyle, and the Training missions are the best way to experience those differences.

Lastly, if the two first reasons didn’t convince you,completing the Training missions unlock parts. That’s right, complete a Training mission and you’ll get a free weapon, arms, or legs. Usually, the part you get corresponds to the training you just received.

So, if you want free parts, a chance to try out different mecha builds, and a quick tutorial that gives you hands-on experience with the mechanics, thendon’t skip the Training mission inAC6. Another thing you shouldn’t skip is learning whatthe best weaponsare inArmored Core 6.
