Destroy the Weaponized Mining Ship | Armored Core 6 Wiki

Mission Description

A fitting end for something built to fail." — Handler Walter

Arquebus, on behalf of their affiliate Schneider, is tasking you with reaching and destroying a special RLF vessel: the weaponized mining ship STRIDER. This mining-ship-turned-mobile-weapon platform is hindering Arquebus’s Coral efforts, and they will not allow the RLF to have their way with the dunes. While the STRIDER is technically a boss enemy, tackling it requires destroying a series of targets until you reach its core: the Eye. Defending the ship are a number of light MTs and guard mechs that you’ll either need to fight your way through or bypass, and since both the area and the ship itself are so expansive, the mission will encompass a great deal of movement and scaling. Though unlikely, it’s possible to fail the mission by taking too long, as the STRIDER eventually moves outside the combat zone.

Recommended Assembly

This mission will require you to evade lasers and missiles while trying to approach the STRIDER, so swapping the legs to the lighter NACHTREIHER/42E will give you increased jumping capabilities and make things easier. You would also want to equip a double machine gun loadout instead of a bazooka, since the latter will be a hindrance if you need to constantly stop to fire the weapon. Combine it with the dual missile launchers on your loadout, this will allow you to stay mobile while dealing significant damage to the STRIDER.

Approach the Weaponized Mining Ship STRIDER

Players will first be spawned in the middle of a desert storm and will need to make their way toward the STRIDER.

Along the way, there will be enemies players will have to defeat to move on. The Mining Ship Captain will then activate the Eye, which shoots a blue laser towards the player.

Missiles will also be launched, so players will have to dodge both of these projectiles to avoid getting hit.

Destroy the STRIDER's Leg Unit

Once players get closer to the STRIDER, they will get orders to take out one of its legs. While trying to do so, the missiles will still actively shoot at you as well as having enemies nearby to stop you.

Players can alternate between destroying the STRIDER leg and taking out nearby enemies until the STRIDER leg is compromised.

Destroy All Sub-Generators

When the STRIDER has fallen, players may take this chance to destroy the sub-generators. Once all sub-generators have been destroyed on the rear end, the mining captain will disconnect the rear end from the rest of the STRIDER trying to cut you off. Make your way to the middle of the ship and continue destroying the sub-generators from there.

There are 3 sub-generators that are on the sides and on top, making players exposed to the eye’s laser while locating them.

Destroy the Eye

When all sub-generators have been destroyed, players will need to destroy the Eye.

The Eye will still launch its laser and the missiles, take advantage of the time in between its attacks to damage it until it is destroyed.

Withdraw From the Deck

When the Eye is destroyed, players will get an order to evacuate the STRIDER as it will blow up in the end.

Make sure to get as far as possible so you will not get affected by the STRIDER collapsing.
