Armored Core 5 Walkthrough Part 6: Order 4

This next side mission will take you up against the Former City Police yet again. You will be fighting in the same mines area that has played host to the last few missions. You main enemies in this section will be tanks and Defense ACs, the small mechs that you have occasionally encountered in earlier missions. They will be here in greater force. As usual, you can bring up to two ACs with you into combat, but it is not recommended on such an easy mission.

Your objective here will be plain and simple: Destroy all enemies. The rebelling police officers have managed to recapture a portion of the mines. You will have to flush them out and kill them before reinforcements arrive, approximately three minutes after you begin the mission. Because of this time limit, you will have to be quick in figuring out where some of the enemies are. Many of them will attack you on sight, but others will hide in the city, making this mission more about finding the enemies than killing them in the end.

When the mission timer starts, jump down to the right to reach the train tracks below you. Quickly boost down the straightaway and into the tunnel ahead. Several paths will branch off from either side, but don’t bother trying to explore them. They all lead to dead ends, and on your time limit you can’t afford to chase dead ends. As you boost down the tracks, the first enemy will appear on the left track. It will be a simple tank, so just hit it with whatever you have and keep moving. Follow the tracks as they curve around, and lead towards the exit. As you emerge into open air, you’ll find two more tanks waiting for you on either side of the tracks. Kill them from afar and watch out for the Defense AC right around the corner. It will pepper you with machinegun fire as soon as it sees you.

Boost around the corner to find two more tanks and a Defense AC behind the flaming wreckage. Kill them and continue boosting down the tracks, past the train, and jump over the small barrier into the city. Immediately look to your left to find two more tanks. Boost to the end of this street, then turn right down the perpendicular street. Boost to the end, then look down the sloping driveway to the left to find another Defense AC. Kill it and head down the ramp. Turn to the left when you reach the bottom to find a barricade. Crash through the barricade to find the last four tanks.
