Quick Answer
AC6 Mission Order Checklist is a focused Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon guide for the question behind mission-order-checklist. Use it when the broad beginner page is too general and you need to decide whether the blocker belongs to chapter order, locations, and revisit timing. The working order is AC assembly, boss counterplay, and S-rank missions; that keeps route advice, build advice, and cleanup advice from blending into one vague answer.
When To Use This Page
| Situation | What to check here | Next move |
|---|---|---|
| You are unsure what to do next | Use AC assembly to confirm the active objective | Return to the starter route if the order is unclear |
| The answer works once but not reliably | Isolate boss counterplay and retest one variable at a time | Move to Systems & Builds for loadout tuning |
| A location, mission, or rank is missing | Check whether S-rank missions requires a revisit | Use Map & Quests for route cleanup |
| A clip would help | Use video only for timing, camera, or route turns | Return to the written checklist before changing plans |
Step-by-Step Fix
- Write down the current save state, platform, patch, chapter or mission, and the exact issue represented by
mission-order-checklist. - Start with AC assembly. If it fails, do not rebuild the whole plan; change only one condition so the result stays readable.
- Retest with boss counterplay. Bayonetta pages should watch Witch Time, combo recovery, weapon swaps, Verse ranking, and hidden challenge access. Armored Core VI pages should watch impact buildup, EN recovery, weapon reloads, lock range, and boost spacing.
- If the question has become cleanup, split S-rank missions, impact and stagger, and weapon load into separate passes instead of chasing every side objective at once.
- After a successful pass, record the condition that made it work. That note becomes the bridge to the next guide instead of a one-time trick.
Practical Notes
Most Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon problems are not solved by a single universal answer. AC assembly tells you whether the page is the right entry point, boss counterplay tells you whether execution is stable, and S-rank missions tells you whether to leave the main route for cleanup. New players should read Starter Route first; returning players should compare Completion & Updates; players stuck on one room, mission, or rank should jump to Map & Quests.
| Check | Pass condition | If it fails |
|---|---|---|
| Objective | You can name the exact chapter, mission, boss, rank, or item | Narrow the issue to one encounter or one route node |
| Setup | Weapons, parts, abilities, or consumables match the plan | Tune one slot in Systems & Builds before retesting |
| Route | No prerequisite is being skipped by accident | Confirm entrance, revisit timing, and exit path in Map & Quests |
| Evidence | Video or screenshot reference matches the current version | Follow the written step and note the source mismatch |
Common Mistakes
- Copying the final answer without recording the condition that made it work.
- Changing AC assembly and boss counterplay in the same attempt, which hides the real fix.
- Treating a video clip as a replacement for the written route.
- Starting full completion, S-rank, or collectible cleanup before the main route is stable.
