Armored Core 6: Do Enemies Scale in New Game Plus? (AC6)

Do you need to rethink your build before partaking on a new adventure?

Armored Core 6 is a difficult game, but it’s not impossible by any means. As you progress through the campaign, you’ll unlock new parts and equipment that will turn you into a rolling, or skating, death machine. Now, after completing the main mission, you’ll be thrust into the action once again with new missions to partake in. You may be wondering at this time, however, if you’ll need to rethink your build to take on more challenging enemies, or if you’ll be rolling through the same foes that you have once before. Let’s jump into our ACs and find out together.

You’ll also encounter a few extra AC units that will challenge you during your playthrough, so it isn’t all the same. You may need to experiment with your builds at some point throughout your new adventure before you find yourself meeting an early demise.
