The TYPE-HOGIRE is a NEXT model that first appears in Armored Core 4 and is seen again in Armored Core: For Answer.

Its real-world designer is Daisuke Satake.

Summary

Designed and built as a joint project between Rosenthal and Omer Science, the TYPE-HOGIRE is a middleweight, general-purpose Armored Core NEXT. With a good mix of AP, mobility, firepower, and defensive strength, the TYPE-HOGIRE is also equiped with a variety of weapons that enable it to engage targets at most combat ranges with ease.

Information

Armored Core 4

In AC4, the TYPE-HOGIRE was one of the standard NEXT schematics the player could choose as a starting mech. It was equipped with a laser blade, a standard rifle, an enlarged scatter missile launcher, and an external back-mounted radar.

Armored Core: For Answer

In Armored Core For Answer, the TYPE-HOGIRE is no longer offered as a starter pack NEXT; the newer TYPE LANCEL is offered instead. The schematic, unlockable by completing Omer Science/Rosenthal/Algebra missions, stripped the unit of its weapons and stabilizers, providing a good starting point for a middleweight NEXT design. It has the standard Lynx War-Era white-on-gray color scheme. Like it's counterpart in AC4, it is still well-rounded and relatively easy to pilot and its only flaw is the arm part's high EN consumption and its relatively heavier weight and slightly underpowered boosters. However, for its weight class, it has quite a high AP and a balanced defense rating.

Note

The weapons included are part of the original schematic during the LYNX War. Later releases of this schematic leave the weapon units empty to allow for user customisation.

Trivia

• The HOGIRE, along with LAHIRE, LANCEL, and the generator part GN-HECTOR is taken from the French names of the card "Jack". In this case, HOGIRE refers to Ogier the Dane, one of the heroes in the 11th century French epic poem "Song of Roland". In this case, the Ogier/Hogier refers to Jack of Spades.
• An early promotional artwork (pictured to right), shows the TYPE-HOGIRE bearing the emblem that would later be featured on Tepes V's Silver Bullet, as well as a silver/bluish grey coloration.
