Special View
To do this, hold X, O, Start. Then unpause to get a Special View.
Now the camera will stay in one position and your AC can move
anywhere and look around the AC. This ain't a good view to use
since you can't see your AC very well, it's sure a cool view, but
you should stick to first-person or third-person view.



            

To access the first-person view mode, press 
Square, Triangle and Select button simultaneously.
You will now be in Pause mode. Press Select again
to continue the game, and the first-person view
mode should now be activated.

To return to the third-person view mode, press
Select to pause the game, and then press Select
again to continue the game. You should now have
the normal third-person view.

For the US version, press Start instead of Select.



            

            Armored Core - Hidden AC Parts 
Secret weapons and parts can be found in certain stages:

Large rocket launcher:
Found on the "Eliminate Strikers" stage that takes place on
the bridge. At the start of the mission turn directly around
and there are 3 vehicles and a makeshift roadblock. Destroy
the vehicle in the middle to obtain the next to worse weapon
in the game.
	
Head :
Found in "Guard Train" stage that takes place in the desert.
Found in the grey box lying close to the tracks. If you can't
find it just blow up all the boxes. It's not worth having and
you will probably feel stupid for wasting ammo finding it.

Radar:
Found in "Guard Wharf Warehouse" stage that takes place
conveniently at a wharf. The building directly behind your
starting point contains the radar. Blow open the doors and
take it. You will lose the mission but the radar is pretty
good.

Laser sword:
Found in the "Kill Struggle Leader" stage in the wanna be
ancient aztec temple. The second hallway you come accross
that flings those flaming bowling balls at you has a hollow
floor. If you check your map you can see it. Shoot up the
floor and fall all the way to the bottom. It's at one end or
the other. Enjoy getting out of the hole. The laser sword is
far better than the other three. A must have if you use laser
swords.

FCS:
Found in "Exterminate Organisms" set in the caves. When you
get to the queen's chamber the FCS is a little odd colored
spec on the ground next to the wall opposite the entrance.
It may take a while to pick it up so for stress sake don't
take a laser sword with you on this mission. It is the better
of the "Wide and Shallow" series of FCS's. Can achieve one
more lock on. Hey, take what you can get.

Flamethrower:
Found in "Destroy intruders" stage set in the blast furnace.
Drop down about three or four levels and underneath one of
the centered bridges will be a niche in the wall containing
the flamethrower. The niche itself does not show up on the
map but the box shows up enough to where it looks like a
pixellation problem on the map. This is the worse weapon in
the game.

Boosters:
Found in "Gaurd Secret Entrance" stage set in the open at
night. In the northeast corner of the mission area their is a
box just over a hill. Its at the very edge... don't go too
far. Very nice boosters with extremely low weight, good boost,
and average energy consumption.

Small missile launcher:
Found in "Secret Factory Recon" stage set in the afore
mentioned open night. In the very southwest corner of the
mission area just over a hill is another box on the very edge
containing a very nice small missle launcher. This one is
great. It fires up to four missles at a time and fires
straight for use in tight quarters instead of at an angle
like the six shooter pod.

Laser Rifle:
Found in "Destroy Fuel Depot" stage set in the... well, fuel
depot. In the very back room on top of the ledge on the left
hand side. It's a huge ass laser rifle that has great range
and does awsome damage. It only has fifty shots though. This
is the premier anti AC weapon to own (unless you can't seem
to hit anything).

Dual missile launcher:
Found in "Retake Aircleaner" stage set in well... uhhh, a
really big air cleaner. Found in one of the passages in the
ceiling of the main chamber. This is the mnother of all
missile launchers. The name is certainly misleading. Dual
implies two while this demonic contraption launches 6 missles.
Kills damn near everything in one volley. It works best if
you are in the air when you fire it, or if the target is in
the air.

Generator:
Did you not go on the "Kill plus escapee" stage. Wasn't good
enough money? Think again... the best generator in the game
is located in this mission. It's a small mission board, Mr.
Magoo could find this one.
