Core 6 armoured mechs are undoubtedly deadly. They are big. They weigh a much. They have significant components, if you get what I mean. The FromSoftware robot game Armoured Core 6 comes with some incredibly bulky weapons, including a weird and oddly named missile launcher called “Soup,” according to a new look at gameplay. We may also see some new firm names and the final appearance of the enormous robots after they have been fully armed with the new AC6 weaponry. We now have several more reasons to be thrilled if you were already looking forward to the Armoured Core 6 release date, the Dark Souls, Elden Ring, and Bloodborne successors.
So, we’ve heard a lot about Armored Core 6 multiplayer and the Armored Core 6 story, but when it comes to details and intricacies of the mechs, and how exactly you can customize them, new details are still rolling out. Some fresh imagery, however, from a recent AC6 reveal suggest some seriously impressive – and almost comically large – guns and gear.
Take a look at the BC-5001, also known as the ‘Soup.’ This gigantic missile launcher fires a barrage of projectiles that momentarily hang in the air before descending on a target, allowing you to circle strafe and surround an enemy single-handedly.
I’d like to think it’s called Soup because it a) creates a kind of encompassing soup of missiles and b) transforms your targets into soup. Nevertheless, I’m looking forward to yelling ‘how about some soup?!’ every time I’m about to let this one fly.
Remaining on the theme of comically oversized guns, we’ve also got a glimpse of another missile launcher called ‘Delivery Boy.’ While not as big as Soup (there’s a sentence I didn’t expect to type today) it contains a gigantic amount of compact explosives which you can use to carpet bomb your surrounding environment.
I’m also reminded of the tall, wobbly stacks of crates and boxes that Death Stranding’s Sam Porter Bridges carries around on his back – maybe that’s why it’s called Delivery Boy.’
Revealed as part of an IGN showcase, and captured by Reddit user ‘Double-Magician,’ these new weapons also hint at some new AC6 companies, including ‘ALLMIND’ and ‘Elcano.’ You can see more in the video below.
