Q: Does Armored Core 6 offer traditional difficulty settings?

A: No, Armored Core 6 does not have traditional difficulty settings like easy, medium, or hard. The game provides a singular difficulty experience for all players, similar to other FromSoftware titles such as Dark Souls, Bloodborne, and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice.

Q: What can players expect in terms of the challenge in Armored Core 6?

A: Director Masaru Yamamura has stated that players can anticipate a challenge level consistent with other FromSoftware games. The goal is for players to experience powerful and cathartic moments during gameplay, especially when overcoming challenging bosses. These moments are designed to offer a sense of achievement once players understand and break through the game's challenges.

Q: How can players adapt to the difficulty in Armored Core 6?

A: One of the key ways to manage the game's challenges is by reconfiguring your mech to better handle tough encounters. Unlike other FromSoftware titles where gear can be swapped more freely, Armored Core 6 requires players to commit to a loadout for each mission. This means you can't change equipment on the fly and might need to exit a mission (or persevere till its end) to adjust your mech's configuration. This system emphasizes the importance of carefully customizing your gear before starting a mission.
