Armored Core 4 Achievement Guide
Written by: hobbez84
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Chapter 1 - Awarded for completing Chapter 1. (20 Points)
Defeat all Normals in FIRST STRIKE to receive this achievement. This one is very easy,
just ignore all MT's (white targets on radar) and go after the normals (red targets on
radar). On hard difficulty, there will be more Normals to defeat, plus you aren't cleared
for your PA.
2. Chapter 2 - Awarded for completing Chapter 2. (30 Points)
Defeat enemy NEXT in Desert WOLF to receive this achievement. Depending on your build,
this mission can range from very easy to very difficult. I personally went with dual
shoulder mounted grenade launchers to defeat him. On hard difficulty White Glint will
join the fight against you, so quickly take out Barbaroi before he arrives, then defeat
White Glint.
3. Chapter 3 - Awarded for completing Chapter 3. (30 Points)
Defeat all 3 massive weapons in INTERNAL PURGE to receive this achievement. Another easy
achievement, check the map provided to you and destroy the massive weapons. Ignore the
Normals if possible, since they don't pose too big of a threat. On hard difficulty
Primitive Light will appear as soon as you destroy the last massive weapon. Make sure you
have some heavy weaponry ready for her...
4. Chapter 4 - Awarded for completing Chapter 4. (50 Points)
Defeat massive weapon in JUGGERNAUT to receive this achievement. Again, another easy end
mission. Grab 2 shoulder mounted grenade launchers, and slide back a bit before the
massive weapon breaks through. Once it appears simply shoot it until it stops moving.
5. Chapter 5 - Awarded for completing Chapter 5. (50 Points)
Destroy the building in BITTER OBLIGATION to receive this achievement. Destroy the cables
holding up the building to knock it down. On hard difficulty, make sure you take out the
two enemy NEXTs before going for the cables. Since they are not priority targets they
will appear white on your radar.
6. Chapter 6 - Awarded for completing Chapter 6. (100 Points)
Defeat the NEXT in SEED A BARREN EARTH. Provided you know what you're doing this one
should be cake. The enemy is fast, so wait till he stops moving to shoot him with your
shoulder mounted guns. Or even better, load up the VERO NORK schematic and unload all
your AS missiles on him until he dies. On hard difficulty Testament will appear after you
defeat the NEXT, so be prepared for him after the explosion.
7. Normal Difficulty - Awarded for completing all Normal Missions. (50 Points)
Pretty self-explanatory, beat the game on normal to receive this achievement.
8. Hard Difficulty - Awarded for completing all Hard Missions. (50 Points)
Defeat all the missions on hard mode to receive this achievement.
9. Mission Rank A - Awarded for achieving Total Mission Rank A. (10 Points)
Try to achieve A or S rankings on all missions. Once you beat the game on normal
difficulty, you can goto a mission list menu to see what rank you got on each mission.
From there replay each mission till you get an A or S ranking. Get enough of them and you
should get the A ranking eventually.
10. Mission Rank S - Awarded for achieving Total Mission Rank S. (10 Points)
Same as before, but you need to complete all the missions on hard with mostly S rank.
Once you complete all the missions on hard difficulty, and you have enough S ranks on
both normal and hard difficulties you should receive this achievement.
11. GA Pack-A - Awarded for completing the "SDGA RANK-A" data pack. (30 Points)
Defeat Primitive Light (No.10), Karyon (No.22), Kurumagakari (No.24) to receive this
achievement. If you want to beat them the easy way, load up the VERO NORK schematic and
blow away your enemies with AS missiles.
12. GA Pack-B - Awarded for completing the "SDGA RANK-B" data pack. (30 Points)
Defeat Triana (No.32), Tyrant (No.35), and Feedback (No.36) to receive this achievement.
If you want to beat them the easy way, load up the VERO NORK schematic and blow away your
enemies with AS missiles.
13. Rosenthal Pack - Awarded for completing the "NDP-E001 ROS-OME" data pack. (30 Points)
Defeat Noblesse Oblige (No.4), Anzu (No.13), Kanonenvogel (No.27), and Null (No.30) to
receive this achievement. If you want to beat them the easy way, load up the VERO NORK
schematic and blow away your enemies with AS missiles.
14. Rayleonard Pack - Awarded for completing the "NDP-C001 RAY" data pack. (30 Points)
Defeat Orleans (No.3), Memento Mori (No.11), Roughcut (No.12), and Split Moon (No.33) to
receive this achievement. If you want to beat them the easy way, load up the VERO NORK
schematic and blow away your enemies with AS missiles.
15. Akvavit Pack - Awarded for completing the "NDP-C002 AKV" data pack. (30 Points)
Defeat Silver Bullet (No.7), and Hilarios (No.21) to receive this achievement. If you
want to beat them the easy way, load up the VERO NORK schematic and blow away your
enemies with AS missiles.
16. BFF Pack-A - Awarded for completing the "SDBFF RANK-A" data pack. (30 Points)
Defeat Prometheus (No.5), Strix Quadruped (No. 8), and Red Cap (No. 15) to receive this
achievement. If you want to beat them the easy way, load up the VERO NORK schematic and
blow away your enemies with AS missiles.
17. BFF Pack-B - Awarded for completing the "SDBFF RANK-B" data pack. (30 Points)
Defeat Helix I (No.19), Helix II (No.20), and Anima (No.34) to receive this achievement.

Defeat Lambda (No.9), Ciliegio (No.16), The Blue NEXT (No.31), and Vero Nork (No. 37). I
would highly suggest defeating Ay Pool first, since she pilots the Vero Nork. Once you
defeat her, you will receive her schematic for her NEXT, which should defeat all enemy
NEXTs with relative ease.
19. Aldra Pack - Awarded for completing the "NDP-B002 ALD-MEL" data pack. (30 points)
Defeat Critique (No.14), Les Annees Folles (No.18), and Blind Bold (No.38) to receive

to beat them the easy way, load up the VERO NORK schematic and blow away your enemies
with AS missiles.
22. All Data Packs - Awarded for completing all data packs. (50 points)
You will get this for completing all data packs. You must also beat the special data pack
in order to receive this achievement.
23. 01 Berlioz - Awarded for completing the MARCHE AU SUPPLICE mission on Hard. (10
points)
This one is easier than it looks. It will be 4 vs 1 (you being the unlucky 1), so you'll
have to do a lot of dodging. Load up a NEXT with two shoulder mounted Hi Laser Cannons,
and a fast locking FCS. Once you launch simply concentrate on each NEXT until they go
down. If done correctly they should all go down in 1 or 2 salvo's of the Hi Laser Cannon.
Once all 4 go down, the mission will end and you will receive the achievement.
24. 03 Anjou - Awarded for completing the JARDIN DE CHEVALIER mission on Hard. (10 points)
This one can be quite difficult if you try to outmaneuver the enemy NEXT. Fortunately she
is also confined to the same small area, so grenade launchers are your best bet. Defeat
her to receive this achievement.
25. 05 Mary Shelley - Awarded for completing the EMPRESS mission on Hard. (10 points)
AS missiles are the way to go. Vero Nork works well here, and you should have no problem
defeating her. Defeat her to receive the achievement.
26. 14 Sherring - Awarded for completing the SEA OF BLOOD mission on Hard. (10 points)
One of the tougher NEXT battles imo, Critique is fast and does a lot of damage. Dual
grenade launchers worked best for me, but make sure you save some ammo, since White
Glint will fly in and attack you. Defeat both of them to receive the achievement.
27. -- Amazigh - Awarded for completing the DESERT WOLF mission on Hard. (10 points)
Load up your favorite heavy shoulder mounted weapons and a long range FCS, you'll need
them. Once the mission starts fly out towards him, and get close to the mission border.
Once you have lock on him continue shooting him until he goes down. About 1/2 way through
the fight, White Glint will appear to help Barbaroi, so make sure you kill Barbaroi
before White Glint appears. Defeat both NEXTs to receive the achievement.
28. -- Sus - Awarded for completing the UP IN FLAMES mission on Hard. (10 points)
This one isn't too tough. On hard difficulty there'll be a lot more MT's shooting
missiles so getting a lock on will be difficult. Heavy shoulder mounted weapons are your
best bets for a quick battle. Defeat the NEXT to receive the achievement.
29. Ursragna - Awarded for completing the JUGGERNAUT mission on Hard. (10 points)
Use the dual shoulder mounted grenade launchers and move back from the blast doors. Once
the massive weapon breaks through, continue shooting it until it stops moving. After the
explosion you will receive the achievement.
30. Sol Dios - Awarded for completing the SOL DIOS mission on Hard. (10 points)
Bust out any heavy shoulder mounted weapon (grenades or hi lasers will do) and get ready
for some easy points. Simply shoot the middle of the big sphere and it will cause a big
explosion taking out other nearby massive weapons. White Glint will fail so be prepared
to pick up his slack. (basically you'll need to take out one more set of massive weapons).
31. 00-Aretha - Awarded for completing the SEED A BARREN EARTH mission on Hard. (10
points)
Another NEXT battle, AS missiles are ideal for this mission. After defeating the first
NEXT, Celo will appear after the explosion. Defeat both NEXTs to receive the achievement.
Secret Achievements
32. Special Pack - Awarded for completing the "NDP-S001" data pack. (30 Points)
33. Mission Rank SS - Awarded for achieving Total Mission Rank SS. (30 Points)
Get all S ranks for all missions on both difficulties.
34. 06 Celo - Awarded for completing the SEED A BARREN EARTH mission on Hard. (10 Points)
You will recieve this with the 00-Aretha achievement, simply defeat both NEXTs to receive
this achievement.
35. 25 Borisovich - Awarded for completing the SANDSTORM CITADEL mission on Hard. (10
Points)
Destroy the ballistic missiles to receive this achievement. You do not have to defeat the
enemy NEXT to receive this achievement.
36. 02 Sadhana - Awarded for completing the EGO BOOST mission on Hard. (10 Points)
Destroy all targets to receive this achievement. Defeat the helicopters before they drop
the Normals, and then destroy the enemy NEXT to end the mission. You don't have your PA,
so make sure you bring an agile NEXT.
37. 10 Menno Ruh - Awarded for completing the INTERNAL PURGE mission on Hard. (10 Points)
Destroy the massive weapons and the enemy NEXT to receive this achievement. After
destroying the 3 massive weapons, Primitive Light will appear to stop you. She is heavily
armored, so bring some heavy artillery (EN weapons work best) to defeat her.
38. 19 Francisca - Awarded for completing the SILENT AVALANCHE mission on Hard. (10
Points)
Defeat the enemy snipers and 2 enemy NEXTs to receive this achievement. After you defeat
the 3 sniper groups, Helix I and Helix II will drop down to destroy you. Destroy both of
them to end the mission and get the achievement.
39. 09 Sir Maurescu - Awarded for completing the LINE OF DEFENSE mission on Hard. (10
Points)
Defeat the enemy force and the enemy NEXT to receive this achievement. Quickly destroy
all the MTs and Normals before reinforcements arrive. A Next will arrive along with
flying MTs and an air fortress. You don't have to destroy the air fortress to complete
the mission, so ignore it and focus on destroying the NEXT and the airborne MTs.
