Q: What makes the Balteus boss fight in Armored Core 6 so tough?

A: The Balteus boss fight stands out in Armored Core 6 as one of the hardest encounters up to that point in the game. However, its difficulty is largely determined by the player's loadout. Weapons that cause high ACS strain are vital to defeat Balteus. If players are not equipped with the right AC parts, they might find themselves needing to quit Mission 6, buy the parts, and restart the level, to successfully overcome this boss.

Q: What is the best loadout to face Balteus?

A: For optimal results against Balteus, equip both arms with the Vvc-760PR Plasma Rifle and both back units with the Vvc-70VPM Plasma Missile Launcher. The plasma weapons' continuous damage is particularly effective against Balteus's shield.

Q: How can players avoid attacks during the Balteus fight?

A: In the first phase, dodge Balteus's missile salvo by maintaining a medium distance. Watch out for its bazooka attack that can cause ACS overload. In the second phase, after Balteus reaches 50% health, evade its pulse explosion and stay airborne to counter its flamethrower attack that induces the ACS Anomaly effect. Consistent attacks with plasma missiles and rifle shots are key to defeating Balteus.
