Where Is Patches In Armored Core 6?
Patches is a mischievous and deceptive character who always looks for a way to get ahead.
He is known for his tendency to deceive people and resort to violence if necessary.
However, he can also be helpful and has provided players with valuable items and information.
In Armored Core 6: Fires of the Rubicon, players seem to find him in the 17th Mission of Chapter 3 of the game.
The 17th mission of Chapter 3 is the Eliminate the V.VII Swinburne mission.
The mission’s main objective is defeating the Swinburne and getting rewards.
However, after you’ve put up a good fight during combat, the enemy AC tries to trick you into stopping the fight.
He says, “Let me go, and you’ll still come out on top, Understand?”
Then, you have the option to either accept or refuse the proposal. If you accept the proposal, you must fight another AC, AC Rokumonsen.
Having to fight another AC while promising to keep you on top may feel like he has tricked you.
Additionally, this nature and voiceover are similar to Patch The Good Luck.
However, fighting AC Rokumonsen and defeating them will also provide you with a gold battle log.
Moreover, accepting or rejecting his proposal is completely personal and is up to you as a player.
Furthermore, although fans believe Swinburne is Patches in Armored Core 6, the official team has neither denied nor confirmed.
Also, other players argue that the name and the voice are not remotely related to Patches.
