The Armored Core 6 Zimmerman weapon is a solid gun to have, especially for those who like shotguns. But it’s not just handed to players. Here’s how to get the Zimmerman shotgun in Armored Core 6.
How to get the Zimmerman shotgun in Armored Core 6
To get the SG-07 Zimmerman shotgun in Armored Core 6, you have to beat Ocean Crossing, the 14th mission. After that, it will be in the shop for 115,000 COAM.
The SG-07 Zimmerman doesn’t have as high of a damage output as the Sweet Sixteen, but the difference might not be that noticeable for some. The Zimmerman shotgun is widely regarded as one of the better weapons in the game, making it a great gun for players to obtain as soon as possible. It not only gives solid burst damage, but are decent at a range, too, as their description notes.
If players equip two Zimmerman shotguns, it’s possible to dish out a ton of impact and damage and cripple some of the harder bosses. Shields may pose somewhat of a threat since they are weaker toward energy weapons, but the dual Zimmerman setup is effective for many other types of enemies. Pairing them up with OS Tuning upgrades that boost kinetic weapons (or other stats relevant to the Zimmerman) and two other heavy-hitting weapons are also ways to work with the Zimmerman’s natural strengths. The two-second reload time may be annoying for some, though, so there is at least some downside to this setup.
Given its ubiquitously recognized effectiveness, it’s possible that FromSoftware nerfs the Zimmerman sometime down the line through a patch. It did exactly that with the Mimic Tear in Elden Ring, which was known around launch for being overpowered and was tuned down after its power was so widely celebrated.
