The Armored Core 6 Arena is an extra challenge where players can take on tough boss fights and earn useful rewards. Armored Core 6 can be unforgiving, but players who take on big challenges and succeed can reap some powerful benefits.

The Arena allows you to fight one-on-one with many of the other ACs you meet throughout the game. Here are all of the Arena opponents in Armored Core 6, and the rewards you get for taking them down.

During Chapter 1 of Armored Core 6, you will take part in Operation Wallclimber. After this point, complete another mission and you will unlock access to the Arena. Here you can take on other ACs in one-on-one simulated fights. Winning these fights will award you with money and crucially, OST Chips.

It will also increase your Arena rank, as each time you defeat an opponent you will take their place in the rankings. At first, you will only have access to three Arena battles. To unlock more, you must continue making progress in the main campaign.

There are 29 Arena bosses in the first version of the Arena. Once you enter new game plus, you can take on a new Arena of 12 much tougher enemies. This Arena, like the original, unlocks gradually as you complete the campaign. You will need to get through Chapter 4 in your third playthrough (new game plus plus) in order to unlock the final Arena fights.
