Lack of parts

[Ghost Wolf]

While the game play is great it really feels like they pulled back in the best part, the customization. Very few shoulder mounted options beside missiles (no chainguns, pulse guns, plasma guns), no right hand melee, no weapon arms. Here's hoping we get some content patches or DLC sooner rather than later.

[Glennard]

how far are you? there are plenty of the shoulder mounted non rockets

As you progress through the missions, more parts become available in the shop. You also unlock training missions as you progress which will reward you weapons and parts.

It's pretty sparse at the very start of the game yeah. Just keep clearing missions and you'll unlock more stuff. I don't know where I am in chapter 1 but I have things like back mounted laser cannons.

[Ghost Wolf]

Unless I'm missing a lot of hidden parts there are only 6 or 7 non missile back weapons (not counting shields) out of over 20 back weapons. And the variety is seriously lacking from older AC games (even the very first one).

[sudebu]

nah, you are right. lack of parts is the one thing i've been really feeling in this game.

but isnt that the case for all the numbered AC games,
4 also lacked on the parts front then 4A added way more, id say the same is true with 5 and verdict day

As you play you unlock more and more parts and a lot of them are hidden secret

[Artivex]

Only 2 options for quad legs and treads, 3 reverse joins, I'd say the game is seriously lacking in customization options for your AC. Hurts my soul, ngl.

This is the answer.....all releases of each new "generation" always had less overall parts available (besides 1 and 2 maybe...and no im not counting them) than the "expansion" games

[魔装機神 Psybuster]

Definitely agreed that I want more parts. Hopefully the sequel has more.

[FAT WANZER]

Hoping for gun arm since old ac got it

[REBirthTheEdge]

Even with all unlocks yes, this game does feel lack of parts.
We need more, DLC please From Soft!

[Goose]

I'm still weirded out there are no leg parts that are just boosters (AC floats above ground all the time) Which were in older games.

[Young Erusean Officer]

I agree with leg parts. Even AC1 or 2 had more. Spider>Quad and Ninja>all.

It has more parts than any other base Armored Core game, i didn't expect anywhere near the amount of parts it has. also back mounted Plasma Cannons and Pulse Cannons are quite literally in the game, as are back mounted exceeded orbit machine guns.
