A Supply Sherpa
The Supply Sherpa is an autonomous drone featured in ARMORED CORE VI FIRES OF RUBICON.
Overview[]
Supply Sherpas are unmanned, unarmed drones that transport ammunition and repair materials for Armored Cores directly to the battlefield. They are highly maneuverable and can navigate any enclosed space that an AC can traverse, such as the interior of The Wall or the depths of Watchpoint Alpha.
On some missions, players can come across a "Resupply Point", which will call in a Supply Sherpa when activated, instantly refilling all of a player's ammunition, and fully repair any damage on the player's AC. Supply Sherpas will also replenish the player's Repair Kits and Expansion part charges, and any weapons previously purged by the player will be re-equipped on the AC. A Resupply Point can only be used once per mission.
Resupply Points from which to call Supply Sherpas with can often be found before a particularly difficult encounter, such as a boss. All missions with Resupply Points have only one, with the sole exception of Underground Exploration - Depth 2 which has two.
