The game has three different endings players can reach. In this guide, I will go over the Decision Missions in Armored Core 6.
As you complete missions and progress through the main campaign, you eventually unlock multiple missions labeled as a “Decision”.
These are conflicting missions due to the opposing forces, and the clashing ideals. Amidst the conflict, you will be forced to choose a side. You will be able to see what each mission entails, but you will have to choose one.
Once you complete the Decisions Missions, some missions will become unavailable on your current playthrough, and in order to reach the other endings you will have to start a new playthrough.
I will break down each ending, and the order players should complete them if they choose to see all of them. If you don’t want to see them all, but just want to see what options you have then don’t mind the order.
The order will help because one ending needs the player to complete more things in a New Game + playthrough, while another can only be completed in your third playthrough or New Game ++.
