Lunar Base Roa
Destroy Base Generator is a mission in Armored Core.
Synopsis[]
Advance: 20000
Upon success: 28000
Theater of operations: Lunar Base Roa
Enemy forces: Unknown
Conditions for success: Destroy base generator
Briefing[]
Head for lunar base "Roa". Roa has been unmanned and abandoned for a long time, but Murakumo has already dispatched forces intending to revive the base facilities.
There are now no other usable lunar bases, so Roa Is effectively the key to control of the entire Moon. But a full frontal attack would deal a severe blow to the base itself.
So this is our request. We want you to infiltrate the base alone and destroy the generator. Our main force will then retake the base in the confusion.
Do not bother unnecessarily with enemies, but remaining ACs will be troublesome in the future, so try to destroy them on sight. We will reward you for each additional kill.
The Murakumo are scheming to use the moon base as a base for a terrible plot. The full story is unclear, but desperate men will stop at nothing.
This is a very dangerous job, but we have faith that you can do it. We are counting on you, Raven.

Walkthrough[]
Armored Core Destroy Base Generator
You will first start off at the entrance of the base, where you get hear the docking of the shuttle from which you game. Head down the elevator that you come across and it will lead you down to a large room with 2 Swift ACs and 2 laser turrets. The Swift ACs can be a pain to deal with due to their weapons producing stun and inhibiting movement, but overall they are pretty weak. A few shots from the Karasawa or any other hard-hitting weapon can put them down rather easily. The turrets there tend to poke you in the back while you deal with the 2 Swift ACs so get them out of the way too.
Once they're all destroyed, head down the first door on the west side of the room. It will lead you up another elevator shaft. Up this elevator, you will then head down a few narrow corridors. Along the way, there will be another room full of gun turrets and a long platform. Get them out of the way and be very careful not fall down the platform! Dropping from this platform will drop you down a very large vertical shaft and if you have an inadequate generator+booster setup, it will be very much impossible to get back up. So take care not to fall off.
Once you got that out of the way, go further down and you will find another elevator shaft. Ascend the shaft and you will encounter a Spiteful AC unit. This unit, in comparison to the Swift units, is a bit tougher and is more aggressive in its attacks, not to mention it also uses a blade. Avoid engaging in blade combat with it unless you're good at melee combat. There're times where Spiteful will kneel down to use its chain gun, and this makes him vulnerable to attack. But do note, his chain gun can stun you and its high fire rate can actually stop you from moving. Even the hardiest ACs can still get stunned by his weapons so make an effort to dodge his shots. It's better to use a mobile AC with a fast booster setup to be able to dodge his shots than use a heavy AC, as he is also fairly mobile and can outmaneuver you if you let him.
To deal with Spiteful, you will need to conserve some ammo (and preferably a blade) to fight him. While he does fall easily to a few Karasawa shots, remember that you still have multiple gun turrets and 2 Swift ACs to deal with, so by the time you get to him, you will have inevitably already used up some of your ammo. If possible, bring along another weapon (back weapon) just in case. If you have Human PLUS, the chain gun or the 01QL cannon work very well. Once Spiteful comes to face you, move away from him and rain down fire on him with your back weapons.
Once Spiteful is taken down, you will then have to enter a door that will then lead you to the main generator room. There're a total of 4 generators to destroy. Use your remaining ammo or blade to destroy them.
After destroying them, a timer will start, and there will be a message saying that the facility will self-destruct in 2 minutes. Now, your job is to get the hell out of there. You have limited time on your hands so move quickly. You have to make your way back where you came from. It's best that you have a head part with an memory radar function, so it will be easier to mark down the path you came from.
Trivia[]
- You get an additional 3000 for each Swift type unit destroyed.
