Even with all of the combinations and intriguing features players can find in Armored Core 6, it never hurts to add a few spices to make it all better and greater. That’s why fans created exceptional modifications to boost the game’s experience and make every Armored Core 6 gameplay session memorable.

8 The Armored Carl

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas enthusiasts have a chance to recreate some memories while enjoying Armored Core 6 thanks to the ability to play as Carl Johnson 'CJ'. While he comes in a modified and oversized version, his usual confidence and swagger are enough to excite the fans when playing the game in multiplayer or solo.

Dropoff and TKGP created and released the mod to the internet 24 hours before Armored Core 6 got into the hands of the players. That shows that the fans had already been working on the perfect modifications to add flavor to the gameplay.

7 The Camera Tweaks

Armored Core 6 has thrilling features and experiences for every player. However, it also has a share of its flaws. According to some gamers, the play comes with tight camera angles, making it challenging to get through certain sections without running into damage. Also, the blind spots create a perfect opportunity for enemies to ambush and attack, with some of the opposite segments having hazards that make it hard to escape quickly.

Thankfully, the Camera Tweak, a mod from Vawser, allows players to move the camera some distance from the mech, expand the field of view, and enlarge the size of the environment visible on screen. That gives players a clear view of the battlefield, identify any looming threats around the mech, and act at the right time. Given the advantages, the Armored Core 6 gaming community has significantly embraced the mod, with some saying it’s most useful when dealing with sneaky bosses.

6 Skip the Intro

Most gamers find it extremely annoying to wait long when booting the game. The introductory part isn’t necessary, especially for repeat players. However, it can take an eternity, with many title screens and logos displaying and consuming the gamer’s time.

Depending on the number of companies or volume of technology patented makes part of the game, waiting for the introductory part to end can be a painful ordeal. It’s one of the sections some players hate the most when playing Armored Core 6. Thanks to Nordgaren’s Skip The Intro modification, these gamers can jump directly into the tile screen without necessarily waiting for repeated title logos and more.

5 Activate First-Person Camera

Armored Core 6 was created to offer a third-person experience for its players. However, gamers find the first-person experience more intriguing, immersive, and enjoyable. These gamers love that the option allows them to experience the game as though they’re playing in-person and tackle the bosses directly in the mech’s suit.

The third-person camera offers the experience from the mech's behind. However, the Neburas created a modification, First Person Camera, allowing players to enjoy the game from a cockpit view. The creator of this mod advises against using this mode during online matches, as it can activate Easy Anti Cheat systems or impact players’ performance.

4 Font Increase Mod

Armored Core 6 doesn’t generally have small texts. However, various factors like screen resolution, gamer’s age, and monitor size can make it challenging for the player to decipher the texts and understand the gameplay. Fortunately, Xarrant offers a Text Size Increase Mod to ensure that not even the slightest details skip the eyes of the Armored Core 6 gamer.

This modification comes with numerous text-describing parts to eliminate the strain of trying to catch a glimpse of what the writing on the screen entails. The large and extra-large fonts ensure the gamer understands even the unclear and small texts appearing during gameplay.

3 Create a Personal AC – Zero AC Restrictions

Many gamers agree that the most challenging part of playing Armored Core 6 is building a custom mech to combat the bosses. But the players also agree that working with a personal mech offers several advantages.

However, it’s essential to note that not all missions will accept customized mechs. In this case, gamers have to rely on pre-built models to complete the missions. Mattoropael’s No AC restrictions - Use your own AC mod is useful at such moments. It’s a modification every player may want to check out and explore to get the most out of their customized mechs.

2 Unlock Easy Mode With EZ-Core

Armored Core 6 could be an exciting game. Still, it’s a FromSoftware creation and works towards ensuring that gamers die several times before they finally come up with strategies to combat the bosses. Thus, conquering a FromSoftware title is a struggle that even excellent and seasoned gamers experience.

While the company has been reluctant to offer a leeway into their gaming strategies, a modification from Xylozi, EZ-Core, is immensely helping the players soften the gaming provider. This modification makes the player’s mech stronger, swifter, and harder to kill. Also, the players enjoy more powerful weaponry and get more rewards from the winnings.

With the camera tweaks from the previous modification from the same creator (Camera Tweaks), the player misses fewer enemies and accomplishes more missions in every session. Despite the numerous advantages, EZ-Core isn’t advisable for players to use during online games. According to the creator, this mod can easily get the player flagged or even banned from playing online matches.
