Cerberus[1][2] is an unmanned tripod guard MT that appears a few times throughout the original Armored Core game as enemies.
Overview[]
Coming in two models, the Cerberus is a medium unmanned tripod guard MT roughly the size of an AC. Both types have in common that they slide on the ground and are equipped with dual missile launchers.
Cerberus[]
Cerberus
Designated merely "Cerberus,"[2] this is the most common Cerberus design. Cerberus is equipped with a laser rifle mounted in the eye of the sphere like head. It also equips a dual missile launcher with one mounted on each side. From the distance it attacks with missiles and up close it uses the laser rifle. It has tracks that moves the legs and allows it to slide on the ground.
Cerberus II[]
Cerberus II
Designated "Cerberus II,"[2] this model only appears in the mission Guard Airplane and in the opening of the game . It is equipped with a four-barreled gatling gun mounted in the head and a dual missile launcher with one mounted on each side. Like its predecessor, it moves by sliding on the ground and mainly uses the missiles from a distance and attacks up close with the the gatling gun. This model lacks the caterpillar tracks of the first Cerbeus and instead moves on tires, thus has improved mobility over the previous type and it is capable of changing directions more quickly. This particular model also appears during the opening cinematic; two of these units which are seemingly supporting Red Sun are destroyed by Anfang.
