Stats or Specs in Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon refer to the various properties of the player's Armored Core that govern their capabilities in and out of combat. The Armored Core Series has always featured a myriad of different Stats, each affecting specific systems of an Armored Core, and this is no different in Armored Core 6. Stats can be changed by mixing and matching different Units and Frame parts, each of which can be upgraded for better Stats, and your Stats will be a key consideration in determining which Builds are are most viable for you.
When viewing your Specs in the Garage or at the start of Missions, you will find two different windows - one for Part Specs and one for AC Specs. Both windows can be expanded to view a full list of Specs provided and altered by new Frame Parts and Units. AC Specs can be considered the general key Stats of your Armored Core and are affected by many different Armored Core components, while Parts Specs are Stats affected by the specific Frame Parts and Units you can equip on your Armored Core.
- Visit Frame for a list of Frame Parts that can boost your defensive Stats, and guides on which Frame parts boost which Stats the most.

All Stats in Armored Core 6
AC Specs in Armored Core 6
The following Stats can be considered 'Main Stats' in Armored Core 6, and determine the basic capabilities of your Armored Core. Each of these Stats can be altered by various parts as opposed to a single Frame Part or Unit.
General & Defensive Stats
AP
Abbreviation for Armor Points. Determines the overall defense of your Armored Core.
Anti-Kinetic Defense
Defense rating against kinetic damage.
Anti-Energy Defense
Defense rating against energy damage.
Anti-Explosive Defense
Defense rating against explosive/ incendiary damage.
Attitude Stability
The maximum load the ACS (Attitude Control System) can support.
This is the total attitude stability value of all frame parts.
The higher the value, the less likely the AC is to stagger.
Attitude Recovery
The ability of the ACS to manage strain.
Lighter overall weight increases this value, leading to faster recovery from residual impact.
Target Tracking
Target tracking performance during lock-on.
The higher this value, the more likely you are to land shots on moving enemies.
The Firearm Specialization spec of arm parts contributes to this value.
Boost Stats
Boost Speed
Higher booster thrust and lower overall weight of the AC contribute to this value.
QB Speed
Determines your speed while Quick Boosting.
QB EN Consumption
EN consumed by Quick Boost.
QB Reload Time
Reload time for Quick Boost.
Lower values enable agile, consecutive usage.
Energy Stats
EN Capacity
Total amount of EN available for use.
Higher values enable heavy use of EN consuming actions.
EN Supply Efficiency
Rate at which EN is supplied to the AC.
Higher values enable faster EN recovery.
EN Recharge Delay
Determines how long until your Energy replenishes upon being grounded.
EN Output
Determines how much Energy your Armored Core is able to generate.
EN Recharge
The ability of the generator to initiate EN recharge.
The higher this value, the more quickly the generator commences recovery after an EN-consuming action.
Load & Weight Stats
Total Weight
Total weight of all AC parts.
Calculated as the sum of the weight of all individual parts.
Influences movement speed of the AC.
Total Arms Load
Arm load weight.
Calculated as the sum of the weight of the individual weapons on both arms.
Arms Load Limit
Maximum weight arms can carry without compromising on stable operating performance.
Higher values make it easier to manipulate arm weapons, mitigating dips in target tracking and recoil control caused by overload.
Total Load
Body load weight.
Calculated as the total weight of all parts, excluding the leg unit.
Load Limit
Maximum weight legs can support.
Higher values improve capacity, enabling installation of multiple heavy parts.
Total EN Load
EN load of the AC.
Calculated as the sum of the EN load of all parts,
The AC cannot sortie if this value exceeds the generator's EN output.
Current Load
Total load as a proportion of the maximum load.
The AC cannot sortie if this value exceeds the limit.
(The OS upgrade Weight Control can bypass this restriction.)
Current Arms Load
Weight of both hand weapons as a proportion of the maximum arm load.
Exceeding the limit will result in diminished target tracking and recoil control.
Current EN Load
EN load as a proportion of EN output.
The AC cannot sortie if this value exceeds the limit.
Part Specs in Armored Core 6
The following Stats are not found when viewing your AC Specs, and are instead altered by specific Frame Parts or Units. Do note that a single part may not affect all the Stats listed under their corresponding header (e.g. not all Units have a Rapid Fire Stat).
