Mission 05 "Secret Game" is a mission in Armored Core: Verdict Day.
Missions[]
This mission is to support the Sirius intelligence squadron's extraction. You have to take down any enemies that are pursuing the intelligence squadron. The enemy force consists of several Golem defense units, Hellkite recon units and 2 large gun turrets. During the mission, there will be 5 allied Sirius UNACs that will assist you. However, they will abruptly turn on you after all the enemies are destroyed, meaning you have to destroy them as well.
Description[]
An intelligence squadron presently in Venide territory is planning an extraction effort. Rendezvous with them at the specified location and serve as their escort.
Exercise caution--enemy pursuit is expected.

Armored Core verdict Day Mission 05 "Secret Game"
Another one of the tricky missions, it is also split into 2 parts. The first half will require you to mop up pursuing enemy units and guard the downed helicopter. Note that the mission will be deemed a failure if the helicopter is destroyed, so keep enemies away from it at all costs.
Shortly into the mission, the client will then deploy 4 (in reality 5) heavy reverse-joint UNACs onto the battlefield to assist you. While they're not exactly the strongest, they do prove useful in clearing out enemies in blind corners as well as other mobile enemies such as the Hellkite A-84s. On top of these, there's not one but two additional large howitzer turrets that also need to be destroyed for mission to be completed.
After all the enemies have been cleared out, the second half of the mission begins; all of the UNACs suddenly turn on you mid-mission. You have to destroy all of them to complete the mission. Like in Mission 03, although the cutscene only shows 4 UNACs, there're in fact 5 of them. Fortunately, they are rather lacking in offensive power compared to the EGF UNACs and are a tad easier to take down than them as well. High power TE weapons would be effective as these Sirius UNACs lack adequate TE defense.
Trivia[]
- The UNACs that are deployed mid-mission will turn on you after most of the other enemies are downed, and they must be destroyed in order to finish the mission.
- If you happen to have downloaded the DLC soundtrack for the game, the DLC soundtrack "Artificial Line" (a remix of Silent Line's Artificial Line OST) will play in this mission.
