Armored Core 6 is an amazing dress up game and decal creator, with a neat little minigame in it that lets you actually fight with the mechs you're decorating.
Jokes aside, the game's decal editor is shockingly versatile. While it comes with a limited number of pieces, you've got over 100 layers to work with—you can resize and change the colour of your building blocks, and even turn them into gradients for some fancy shading. I've spent hours crafting cursed bumper stickers for my Gundam—including a truly rancid set of Sailor Moon anime eyes that I'm now contractually obliged to use on every mech I pilot. Handler Walter makes the rules, not me.
Unsurprisingly, the community's been seized by that same desire to create—crafting everything from genuine works of art to what I can only assume are attempts at psychological warfare. Here are some of my favourites so far, courtesy of the Armored Core subreddit.
First off—yes, user MortimerMcMire has already made Pickle Rick. If I saw a weapons platform with 20 missiles primed boosting towards me, looking like this, I think I would probably just shut my mech down and let death take me.
YambagMcgee's horrifying rendition of Pepsi Man is here to make sure you're properly hydrated during all of those sweaty arena simulations. How considerate.
I feel a raw, existential kind of dread at the sight of eattoes2000's rendition of Mr. Krabs. Granted, Armored Core 6's world is plagued by mega-corporations, so I do think Mr. Krabs would be at the top of the food chain.
The planet Rubicon 3 is a dark, dystopian husk, filled with mercenary groups and megacorporations—so this McDonald's-branded war crime (named the 'Big Mech' by surroundlive_) is actually setting-accurate.
It's not all
