The Murakumo Escapee is a person seen in the original Armored Core and is the main enemy in the mission Destroy Plus Escapee.
PLUS Escapee Heat Wave Custom
Information[]
A former Raven, the Escapee either was forced or volunteered to be part of Murakumo's Human PLUS project. Either way, he became mentally deranged as a result of the experiment and escaped from them to go on a rampage. He wipes out multiple security teams before ending up in a deserted construction site. He is killed by the Raven.
He also appears in the Armored Core: Nexus REVOLUTION disc remake of the mission.
AC[]
The escapee uses one of the rarer Heat Wave GP-AC models that rarely appeared throughout Armored Core. It's primary weapon is a bazooka rifle and is capable of flying almost indefinitely. This makes it hard to fight in open areas. Thankfully, it is far less durable than a normal Armored Core.
Trivia[]
- The Escapee's AC has an eerily distinct whistle-like booster sound. It has a higher pitch compared to other GP-AC model's booster sound, lending to the already dark atmosphere in the mission.
- As the Escapee uses their dying breath to try and warn the Player of the truth of Human Plus, it's likely he was not actually deranged. Instead, Murakumo (under the manipulations of the Hustler One AI) merely claimed he was in order to justify silencing him.
