Armored Core 3 is a mecha video game from the Armored Core series. Set in a post-apocalyptic future, Armored Core 3 depicts a subterranean society called "Layered". It is ruled by an AI simply known as "The Controller" that dictates nearly everything that goes on in this world. The two major corporations, Mirage and Crest Industries, fight for dominance and control over Layered's land and assets.
However, all is not right with The Controller and odd things happen, that might even go so far as to suggest that the logic system is failing...
Like in Armored Core and Armored Core 2, you are given a trial mission to see if you are talented enough to join the mercenary group dubbed Global Cortex. New features within Armored Core 3 include consorts (additional allies that can be made to assist you in a mission), detachable weapons (thereby lessening your total weight and increasing speed), and a new Core classification; Exceed Orbit (EO), that sacrifices the power of Overboost and allows you to deploy a built-in, autonomous weapon on your Core.
GAMEPLAY HINTS
Leg part
In the "Garage" section, achieve an "S" rank in both the AC tests. You will unlock a leg part called MLH-MX/VOLAR. It is a heavyweight humanoid leg part that is good for balancing weight and for performance.
Mid-sized Rocket Launcher
When the mission where you have to disarm a poison starts, stay on top of the reservoir dam and travel east (to your left) and you will find a back Mid-sized Rocket Launcher.
Spread Bazooka
In the mission where you have to find a sinking ship's cargo, look in one of the cargo rooms on the ship to find a Spread Bazooka.
Use Grenade Launchers and Chainguns with biped legs
If you get all of the upgrades for the OP-INTENSIFY part, save your game and load it again. Equip the OP-INTENSIFY part and you can fly around using Grenade Launchers and Chainguns on biped legs just like Ace.
Defeating Exile
Once you complete the main game and defeat Ace in the arena, you will have to fight Exile. His skills are not that great, but his mobility will kill you. Get a heavy AC, go to the parking lot, and let him get right in your face. Then, use the flame thrower and big bazooka to attack. You will get 1,500,000 credits for defeating him. You will also gain access to the "Extra Arena" mode. In this mode, you and a teammate of your choosing can go up against two enemy Ravens at once.
To defeat Exile get the best tank legs, the Linear Cannon, and the flame thrower. Go to the Parking Lot Arena and back up into the corner. Blast Exile with the cannon. When he gets close, keep firing while using the flame thrower and he will go down shortly. Note: This may require a few attempts.
Inflict high damage
Equip your AC with the gun with 1000 ammo and the flamethrower. When in an AC battle, hold Square Circle at close range to inflict high damage. It is difficult at first to keep them in range, mostly when they jump a lot.
Last mission
You are told you need to destroy the controller in the last mission where, both a very easy and annoying task. After completing the first section, which consists of almost nothing but MTs and laser pillars, all your ammunition and AP are restored - do not worry about being stingy. In the second part, you will face two ACs at the same time - they are a lot tougher than they look. Aside from having to waste a good chunk of ammunition, they will pose little threat to a good Raven. After this, you will enter a long shaft with MTs and laser pillars that can all get very annoying. Find out were it says target, then slash that seemingly normal yet breakable wall to expose the generator. The rest should be obvious.
