Walkthrough[]
Armored Core AC Battle
This is a rather fun mission and is a 2-on-1 AC battle. You will face Fefnir (Barutazaru) along with an Irregular named Warhawk. Both are 4-legged type ACs and do have good firepower. Having the Karasawa would make the fight ridiculously easy as the weapon can easily rip them apart in just a few shots. However, if you don't have the Karasawa, then the fight will be more challenging.
Should you not have or if you choose not to use the Karasawa on this mission, then you will have to play it a little differently. Both Fefnir & Warhawk possess quite a good bit of durability so you will need some heavy weapons to bring them down. General purpose weapons such as rifles or machine guns work too but it would take some time to take them out. Moreover, dealing with both at once will make it harder to focus on one as you'd then be switching targets constantly. Be very careful not to let them back you against a corner as they can deal serious damage to you if that happens.
It is ultimately up to you on whether you choose to take out Fefnir or Warhawk first, although it's advised to take out Fefnir first as he's the tougher of the pair. Make use of the upper platforms as cover if you can and try to lure one to you so you can focus on one first.
