Extensions/Shoulder Weapons

Extensions are a non-essential part of an Armored Core seen from Armored Core 2 until Armored Core: Last Raven. They would be renamed Shoulder Weapons in Armored Core 4 and onwards.

Information[]

Extensions come in pairs and are mounted on the sides of the shoulders. They are miscellaneous, usually non-offensive devices, and can be anything from extra boosters to stealth devices.

Extra boosters (with various functions)
Anti-missile systems
Relation missiles (extra missiles that fire simultaneously with missile launchers)
Shoulder energy shields
Emergency heat sinks (rapidly cools an AC)
Emergency energy units (rapidly recharges energy)
Enemy Radar Jamming systems

In Armored Core 3, several emergency energy units were sold - these were usually 3 uses, and would quickly refill the energy of an AC in about 5 seconds. Emergency heat sinks were also introduced that allowed a quick cooling burst to bleed off potentially damaging heat if an AC got too hot. In Armored Core 2, additional booster and relation missiles become available but in "Armored Core: Nexus" the radar jamming equipment was removed along with the radiator and ECM equipment.
