If you are a fan of the Armored Core series, you might be wondering how to save your game and loadouts in Armored Core 6. The game does not have a manual save option, so you need to rely on the auto-save feature that triggers at certain points. However, you can also backup your save data and loadouts to the cloud or a USB device if you want to have more control over your progress.

In this blog post, we will explain how to save your game and loadouts in Armored Core 6, as well as how to restore them if you need to. We will also give you some tips on how to optimize your loadouts and customize your mech to suit your playstyle.

 

How to Save Your Game in Armored Core 6

Armored Core 6 uses an auto-save system that saves your game every time you complete a mission, access a terminal, or change your settings. You can see a small icon on the bottom right corner of the screen when the game is saving. You should not turn off your console or exit the game while the icon is visible, as this might corrupt your save data.

To check your save data, you can go to the main menu and select System. There, you can see your playtime, completion rate, credits, and other stats. You can also see how many save slots you have available. The game allows you to have up to three save slots per account, so you can create multiple profiles if you want to try different difficulty levels or story paths.

How to Backup Your Save Data and Loadouts in Armored Core 6

If you want to have more control over your save data and loadouts, you can backup them to the cloud or a USB device. This way, you can restore them if something goes wrong with your console or your game files.

To backup your save data and loadouts to the cloud, you need to have an active PlayStation Plus subscription. You can go to the main menu and select System, then select Upload/Download Save Data. There, you can choose which save slot you want to upload or download from the cloud. You can also enable or disable the auto-upload feature, which will automatically sync your save data with the cloud every time you play.

To backup your save data and loadouts to a USB device, you need to have a USB flash drive or an external hard drive formatted as FAT32 or exFAT. You can plug it into your console and go to the Settings menu. Then, select Application Saved Data Management, then Saved Data in System Storage, then Copy to USB Storage Device. There, you can select Armored Core 6 and choose which save slot you want to copy. You can also do the reverse process if you want to copy your save data from the USB device to the system storage.

How to Restore Your Save Data and Loadouts in Armored Core 6

If you need to restore your save data and loadouts in Armored Core 6, you can use the same methods as above. You can download them from the cloud or copy them from the USB device to the system storage. However, you should be careful not to overwrite your current save data and loadouts with older ones, as this might cause some issues with your progress and achievements.

To avoid this, you can create a backup of your current save data and loadouts before restoring them from another source. You can also use different save slots for different profiles or playthroughs.

How to Optimize Your Loadouts and Customize Your Mech in Armored Core 6

One of the most fun aspects of Armored Core 6 is creating and tweaking your own mech with various parts and weapons. You can access the Garage from any terminal in the game world or from the main menu. There, you can equip different head, core, arms, legs, generator, radiator, FCS (fire control system), booster, back weapon, arm weapon, shoulder weapon, extension, and optional parts.

Each part has its own stats and attributes that affect your mech’s performance, such as weight, energy consumption, defense, mobility, firepower, accuracy, lock-on range, heat generation, cooling rate, etc. You need to balance these factors according to your preferences and mission objectives. For example, if you want more speed and agility, you might want to equip lighter parts and boosters that consume less energy but have lower defense and firepower. If you want more durability and firepower, you might want to equip heavier parts and weapons that consume more energy but have higher defense and damage output.

You can also customize the appearance of your mech by changing its color scheme and emblem. You can choose from various presets or create your own custom colors using RGB sliders. You can also edit your emblem by choosing from different shapes, patterns, symbols, fonts, etc.

You can save up to 10 loadouts per save slot in Armored Core 6. You can name them and switch between them at any time from the Garage or the terminal. You can also test your loadouts in the Simulator, where you can practice your skills and try different scenarios without affecting your progress or stats.

Armored Core 6 is a game that offers a lot of freedom and creativity to the players who love to build and customize their own mechs. By following these tips, you can save your game and loadouts in Armored Core 6 and enjoy the game to the fullest.
