Antares

Antares is a Raven who appears in Armored Core 2: Another Age and serves as a quasi-antagonist.

Information

A Martian Raven, Antares is considered a highly skilled fighter and feared by many. He comes to Earth for unknown reasons. He gives the Raven an assignment which required the elimination of the security force guarding the Earths orbital elevator Rapture. After this is done, he takes control of it. The Raven is then contracted by the Earth Government to take him out; despite being protected by two other Ravens and numerous security forces, he is killed in action. He is encountered in the mission Free Rapture Orbit Elevator and is the one who requests the mission Destroy Security Detail.

AC Dies Irae

Dies Irae is a two-legged AC equipped with back booster extensions, ground torpedoes, middle missile launcher, laser rifle, laser blade and an overboost core. Due to the Human PLUS enhancements of the pilot the unit can fire blade waves. The unit is capable of ignoring weight restrictions.

Strategy

Antares isn't all that hard. He has got a weak laser rifle and a ground torpedo weapon and that seems to be that only weapons he use. He isn't fond of close combat either, so you can get into close combat with him right away. But you must still be mindful; he loves to fly and his partner can be a pain.
