"Defeat ORCA's Special AF Unit" is a mission in Chapter 4 of Armored Core: For Answer.
Briefing[]
Here is the mission.
A special ORCA Arms Fort has been identified in the Old Clark Area. We want you to take it out.
We don't have any data on the AF model. All we do know is that it is a powerful destructive weapon designed for the sole purpose of destroying our way of life. We cannot afford to give ORCA a free hand.
We will move in first with conventional forces. You will wait in reserve. Should your involvement become necessary, we will issue appropriate instructions as the situation demands.
This war against ORCA will soon be over. Help us finish them off.
Overview[]
Armored Core For Answer Defeat ORCA's Special AF Unit
You must destroy four Jet-type arms forts. The enemy units are black, rather small AFs armed with plasma cannons and lethal, over-sized laser blades. The only weak points of the Arms Forts are the small ventilation shafts on top of the armored shells. The holes are large enough for a NEXT to enter, and also provide good cover from the plasma shots and laser blades of the Jets. You should take just a couple of hits from the cannons of nearby units.
To get an easy S Rank, just fly into these holes and fire at the shafts with everything you have.
The best design for this mission is probably a reverse legged model with high energy defense. Reverse legged ACs are usually shorter, as such they shouldn't be hit when into the shafts because there is no part that protudes from the hole.
Machineguns/Gatlings are probably the best choice thanks to their high ammo capacity. Better not to use explosive weapons such as rockets or grenades as you will be caught in the blast radius.
Before landing onto the shaft, make sure that there is NOTHING into the hole!! It may happen that part of a laser blade is INSIDE it (even if this should be impossible, as the beam emitters are all outside the shaft). Anyway, if this happens, just move around the AF forcing it to move its blades to try to hit you. Once the hole is empty, you should be able to land inside and fire to the shaft without problems.
Another strategy is to fly above/around the top vent of the AF and launching grenades in using the OGOTO, GRB-TRAVERS, YAMAGA, or GANO1-SS-AW. Anyway this is significantly harder as you must keep an eye to the plasma shots from the AFs, costantly dodge and ALSO take aim for the shafts.
Hard Mode[]
On hard mode, the blades are red and they can take you down with a single hit.
Enemies[]
- 4x ORCA's Arms Fort JET
Dialogue[]
Serene Haze:Commence mission. Eradicate the enemy Arms Forts. The enemy has melee combat potential. They're equipped with several large blades. They'll cut through those makeshift buildings like paper mache. Don't rely on them for cover. |
Serene Haze:Oh, I neglected to mention this, but your support has been completely wiped out. So don't hold anything back. Destroy the whole city if you have to! Heh, easier said then done. |
Serene Haze:Their armor is thicker than we anticipated. You're not going to get anywhere at this rate. Listen up. You see those heat radiation plates on top? Close in and rip them to shreds. It won't be easy, but there's no other way. You're up to it. |
Serene Haze:It's no good. That outer armor is too tough! |
Serene Haze:Get above them, move in close and hit those radiation plates! |
Serene Haze:You're trying to force your way through? Whatever works. |
Serene Haze:Stubborn, aren't you. |
Serene Haze:Enemy Arms Forts have been destroyed. That's the way. The radiation panels are its weak point. |
Serene Haze:Confirmed. Arms Fort units have been destroyed. Mission complete. Nothing fazes you, does it? Hat's off to you. |
