All other colors: R 170, G 120, B 0
AP: 7352
Price: 778800 (Without optional parts)
Grade: Good

Note: This is a good AC to use. It is fast, and has some good firepower. It cannot take hits that well, and requires a lot of skill to use. You will have to stay out of the way of enemy attacks and you will not have a lot of ammunition - you will have to make most shots hit. This AC is not Overweight. If you start a new game without loading a save file from Armored Core 2, buying all the parts will take time. You have to get the legs by defeating all five Horwick Mountains missions. This AC is not good for all levels, but it will do just fine for a majority of them.

Head: ZHD-2000/SV
Core: ECL-ONE
Arms: ZAN-303/S
Legs: ZLN-XA2/FF
Booster: EBT-GR4300

SP-BCRK
AP: 8054
Weight: 7572

Legs: ELC-DISI

Stats:
AP: 9009
Weight: 11311
Price: 766800
Offense: 11444
Defense: 2970
Overall: 50750
Grade: Excellent

Note: This mech is grenade-happy and nothing can stand much of that for long. Do not expect it to dodge many shots (though you can rely on the high AP, so it makes little difference). It is strictly for use in two-player and Raven battles, if you have the money. It costs a lot in ammunition, which it does not have much of. Do not get frustrated when facing fast ACs. You will hit them eventually, resulting in almost instant death thanks to your standard, slow but powerful, moving fortress-tank mech.

Once you complete the main set of missions in Another Age, a new area becomes accessible. Called the Lost Field, it offers three new missions against foes from the PSone games:
