Armored Core: Nexus

Completion bonuses:
Successfully complete the game in EVO mode to unlock the "Free Arena" and "Free Missions" options and Left Hand Karasawa when your cleared save game is loaded. Note: Three Free Missions will only appear by failing a certain mission, as follows.

Free Mission 4: Intentionally fail the Missile Efficiency Test mission then play the next Kisaragi mission.
Free Mission 5: Intentionally fail the first two Mirage missions, then play the next Mirage mission.
Free Mission 22: Intentionally fail the Remove Kisaragi Investigation Unit mission, then repeat that mission again.

Note: To unlock the hidden Mirage mission (eliminate base attackers) for 60,000 without intentionally failing, do the first Mirage mission you get after the very first mission then neglect the rest. Do the O.A.E. mission and do not work for Mirage. The mission will now appear. You will know this will happen because you will have to fight an Arena opponent before that.

Hint: Defeating Genobi:
To defeat Genobi in the Arena (#1 ranked), try overpowering him. You can defeat him with an AC with an E in Mobility, but ATK in B or C. Try using weapons that will temporarily immobilize him, like the machine gun arms; or hit him early in the match with some bazooka rounds. If you are lucky enough, add in a couple WHO4HL-KRSW (left arm Karasawa) shots. Make sure to have a high AC, as his favorite thing to do is abuse the grenade rifle.

Arm Unit L: CR-WL9SG
Hanger Unit R: n/a
Hanger Unit L: n/a
Note: This core is unstoppable. It will take you though any mission or arena battle. The parts are expensive and must be saved for. It is well worth it. You can substitute lesser parts until you can buy all the parts you need.

Hint: Dark Allure custom AC:
Mohanram Bassit.

Head: H11- QUEEN (tune weight and ECM 30% each, and def shell and energy 20% each)
Core: CR-C98E2 (tune weight 20% and def. shell 80%)

Weapon Color: Blue
Note: This AC can be used for virtually anything and to take down anyone. The rest is up to your skills. The AC is very expensive (almost worth 2 million credits) but is worth it. The blade has the highest attack, and is even higher with the optional part so that you can outblade anyone. The sniper rifle can be used at both close and long range, and the attack and ammo that comes with it is good. The micro missiles, along with the extension micro missiles deal a lot of damage. Use them to take down slow or big enemies. The small rockets can be used for manual targeting in missions (especially since this design does not have a bio-sensor). Also if you are skilled at using them, it has good attack and firing interval. The EO can be used in short range combat, and you can use inside ECM maker to throw enemy ACs off track a little. The boosters are powerful, and are complimented by a very powerful generator and good radiator (especially its forced cooling; good for booster heat). Overall, this AC is good in almost every aspect and it is fun to use.

Hint: Dead Life custom AC:

CR-094ESS
Note: This AC is not good in a narrow hallway, but is fun in open areas. Always use the secondary arm weapon and the CR-WB91 MB for maximum damage. Only use the CR-WB8SMPX when needed. Even though this AC is made for long range, do not be afraid to get close. You may need to tune some parts. This AC can be used for beginner to expert players. This AC will have a "C" rank, but it is one of the greatest ACs you can pilot.

Note: This AC can defeat anyone in the Arena and is very good at missions. However, for the last mission when you face Nine Ball again, use hit and hide tactics. A skilled pilot is recommended.

Note: This AC is very good and can defeat every other AC in the. You may need to change the L arm and R arm weapons for certain missions. For example, sniper rifles for shooting down helicopters, grenades for killing AC's in missions, or some other higher powered weapon. It may lack mobility, but its strong defense allows it to take a lot of punishment and kill your opponent first.

Note: This AC can eliminate all AC's and conquer all missions, except light AC's with quick movement. If you get them with the cannon on your back, heat up his system and make his booster recharge. You will have a chance to get him. On Episode 14 when you face Phantasma on Revolution, use the back unit, exceed orbit, left arm and inside to suppress him. An extremely skilled pilot is recommended.
