If you want to get absolutely everything in Armored Core 6, giving you access to all of the AC parts and builds you can dream of, then you will inevitably need to replay missions and locate Battle Logs. Battle Logs are only marked as Complete in the Replay Mission menu if you locate all optional enemies.

This is easier said than done, which is why we’ve written this guide. Just read through our instructions below to figure out how to tick off every Battle Log in Armored Core 6 – make sure to complete all of the in-game missions before taking all of these on, as you’ll need to replay and defeat bosses in order to keep your findings from each mission.

This is a complete list of every combat log you need for the Combat Log Collector trophy or achievement. Keep in mind that you'll need to play through the game three times and take on all alternate decision missions to access all missions and combat logs.

If you're going for completion in Armored Core 6, make sure to look through our list of all hidden part chest locations.

How to find Battle Logs for Loghunt – AC6

armored core 6 operation wallclimber juggernaut boss glhf (4) — FromSoftware, Bandai Namco Entertainment

When browsing the Replay Mission menu, you’ll notice a bunch of missions have a check box that may or may not be ticked off, depending on what you’ve done in that mission. In order to check this box you need to find every optional strong enemy in that mission, and then complete the mission.

Optional enemies tend to be well hidden, which is why you should read through this guide to find them all. Some missions and targets can only be found by replaying the game and accessing alt missions.

Chapter 1 Battle Log Loghunt locations – AC6

Destroy the Transport Helicopters Combat Log location – AC6

armored core 6 combat logs chapter 1 glhf (14) — FromSoftware, Bandai Namco Entertainment

You’ll find an optional Tetrapod AC near the final Transport Helicopters you need to destroy – take it down to receive the combat log.

Destroy the Tester AC Combat Log location – AC6

armored core 6 combat logs chapter 1 glhf (10) — FromSoftware, Bandai Namco Entertainment

The combat log for this mission is collected simply by defeating the target Dafeng AC.

Attack the Dam Complex Combat Log location – AC6

armored core 6 combat logs chapter 1 glhf (9) — FromSoftware, Bandai Namco Entertainment

You’ll find this enemy lurking in front of a damn with two MTs overlooking the area. If you’re just following your allies, you’ll miss this entirely. Hug the right wall of the stage to ensure you find it.

armored core 6 combat logs chapter 1 glhf (8) — FromSoftware, Bandai Namco Entertainment

Defeat Index Dunham at the end for another combat log.

Attack the Dam Complex (Alt Mission) Combat Log location – AC6

armored core 6 combat logs chapter 1 glhf (6) — FromSoftware, Bandai Namco Entertainment

This mission will have you turning against your allies, G5 Iguazu and G4 Volta.

armored core 6 combat logs chapter 1 glhf (5) — FromSoftware, Bandai Namco Entertainment

Defeat them both for a combat log from each.

Operation Wallclimber Combat Log location – AC6

armored core 6 combat logs chapter 1 glhf (3) — FromSoftware, Bandai Namco Entertainment

After defeating the two cannons on the ground, head to the far left of the battleground in front of the wall. You’ll find a wreck surrounded by MTs and a tetrapod. Take down the Tetrapod for this log.

armored core 6 combat logs chapter 1 glhf (4) — FromSoftware, Bandai Namco Entertainment

There is also a Tetrapod front and center of the wall, with two turrets backing it up.

Retrieve Combat Logs Combat Log location – AC6

armored core 6 combat logs chapter 1 glhf (2) — FromSoftware, Bandai Namco Entertainment

During the mission you’ll encounter four MTs on patrol, followed shortly after by an AC from the Rubicon Liberation Front. If you can take this final AC down within the remaining minute, you’ll earn the combat log for this stage – and yes, that’s separate from the combat logs you need to complete the mission. For those, check our Retrieve Combat Logs mission guide.

Prisoner Rescue Combat Log location – AC6

FromSoftware, Bandai Namco Entertainment

You'll need to take down a hidden Tetrapod enemy for this one. Clear the first landing site and then fly up to the left of the landing site, on top of the cliff. You should see the lights from the Tetrapod you need to take down in the distance.

At the end of the mission you'll have to take down G2 Nile, too, for another combat log.

Attack the Watchpoint Combat Log location – AC6

armored core 6 combat logs chapter 1 glhf (1) — FromSoftware, Bandai Namco Entertainment

Held by the enemy AC that attacks as you approach the Watchpoint, Sulla.

Attack the Watchpoint (Alt Mission) Combat Log location – AC6

This mission will once again feature Sulla, but he'll be backed up by four mysterious mechs that will also gift you with combat logs. These are all necessary foes for mission completion.

Chapter 2 Battle Log Loghunt locations – AC6

Infiltrate Grid 086 Combat Log location – AC6

armored core 6 fires of rubicon infiltrate grid 086 combat log locations glhf (10) — FromSoftware, Bandai Namco Entertainment

"Invincible" Rummy holds the first combat log.

armored core 6 fires of rubicon infiltrate grid 086 combat log locations glhf (7) — FromSoftware, Bandai Namco Entertainment

After Rummy follow the waypoint until you come to a large open area. Instead of immediately crossing or flying over, instead fly up and backwards, on top of the area you just came from. There will be two heavy Tetrapod MTs up here.

armored core 6 fires of rubicon infiltrate grid 086 combat log locations glhf (6) — FromSoftware, Bandai Namco Entertainment

If you fly even further towards the back wall, you'll find another two enemies holding combat logs.

armored core 6 fires of rubicon infiltrate grid 086 combat log locations glhf (5) — FromSoftware, Bandai Namco Entertainment

Next, you will need to enter the pipe in the furnace room, the same as in the Prisoner Rescue combat log.

armored core 6 fires of rubicon infiltrate grid 086 combat log locations glhf (4) — FromSoftware, Bandai Namco Entertainment

Down here you will find an optional item, in addition to an independent AC, Nosaac.

armored core 6 fires of rubicon infiltrate grid 086 combat log locations glhf (3) — FromSoftware, Bandai Namco Entertainment

Finally, after taking down the heavy MT just before the "Cinder" Carla Sweeper boss fight, don't go through the door, instead head to the right, where you'll find a chest and two more MTs holding combat logs.

armored core 6 fires of rubicon infiltrate grid 086 combat log locations glhf (1) — FromSoftware, Bandai Namco Entertainment

This is a big mission for optional content, as there are even more chests we skipped over for this guide.

Stop the Secret Data Breach Combat Log location – AC6

In the furnace room, go up to where the lava spills from the pipe and jump into the pipe that doesn't have lava coming out of it: yes, this is a pathway.

Follow the long path to the end to come across some hidden heavy MTs that will have two combat logs for you.

You'll finish off this mission with a fight against G5 Iguazu and some unidentified mechs.

Ocean Crossing Combat Log location – AC6

The combat logs in this mission are on floating drones. As the mission begins and you’ve gone up the elevator, you’ll enter into an area where laser satellites will target you. There’s a gap in the scaffolding below you can dive into for safety, and you can find the first bunch of drones in here.

Continue through the cavern in the structure until you come to the bridge towards the next area. Climb onto the road underneath the bridge, and look behind you to see a tunnel leading back towards where you came from. Follow the tunnel to the end to find the final bunch of optional drones.

For safety, you should probably wipe out any drones under the bridge, too.

Chapter 3 Battle Log Loghunt locations – AC6

Steal the Survey Data Combat Log location – AC6

armored core 6 chapter 3 combat logs glhf (21) — FromSoftware, Bandai Namco Entertainment

After the closest Survey Beacon to your right, follow the road to encounter a Heavy MT. Defeat it for the combat log.

armored core 6 chapter 3 combat logs glhf (20) — FromSoftware, Bandai Namco Entertainment

After the final Survey Beacon you'll be ambushed by a heavy Tetrapod MT.

armored core 6 chapter 3 combat logs glhf (19) — FromSoftware, Bandai Namco Entertainment

Finally, one more heavy Tetrapod is waiting for you in the final area, before the PCA ambush.

Attack the Refueling Base Combat Log location – AC6

armored core 6 chapter 3 combat logs glhf (18) — FromSoftware, Bandai Namco Entertainment

There's an LC on the cliff above the bridge.

armored core 6 chapter 3 combat logs glhf (17) — FromSoftware, Bandai Namco Entertainment

When you have mounted guns shooting at you while going over a bridge, check under the bridge for enemies to defeat for the first combat log. Take 'em all out to ensure you get the log.

armored core 6 chapter 3 combat logs glhf (16) — FromSoftware, Bandai Namco Entertainment

To the far right side of the stage in the same area as the bridge you’ll see multiple thin structures – go and beat the MTs you find high up on the structures for the final optional combat log.

armored core 6 chapter 3 combat logs glhf (15) — FromSoftware, Bandai Namco Entertainment

Finally, you'll have to take down two PCA ACs at the end of this mission, PCA SP 2nd Lieutenant and PCA SP Chief Sergeant 1st Cls.

Eliminate V.VII Combat Log location – AC6

armored core 6 chapter 3 combat logs glhf (14) — FromSoftware, Bandai Namco Entertainment

First, head to the first waypoint unseen, and make sure to take out the camera mechs in this area so you don't get spotted. In the large square between tower blocks a heavy Tetrapod MT lies in wait.

armored core 6 chapter 3 combat logs glhf (13) — FromSoftware, Bandai Namco Entertainment

Another can be earned by defeating V.VII Swinburne.

armored core 6 chapter 3 combat logs glhf (12) — FromSoftware, Bandai Namco Entertainment

You’ll need to replay the mission to get the second: once Swinburne begs you for mercy, you can actually stop attacking and accept a deal. This will prompt an AC from the Rubicon Liberation Front to attack instead – take down Rokumonsen for another combat log.

Tunnel Sabotage Combat Log location – AC6

armored core 6 tunnel sabotage combat log glhf (2) — FromSoftware, Bandai Namco Entertainment

When you reach the inner part of the tunnel and have to start platforming on beams stretching across the width of the tunnel, look for the highest beam (should be the second one you step on) and look to where it is connected to the wall on the left side.

armored core 6 tunnel sabotage combat log glhf (1) — FromSoftware, Bandai Namco Entertainment

There's a huge room here, filled with enemies to defeat and a chest. The LC at the back shooting lasers holds the combat log.

Survey the Uninhabited Floating City Combat Log location – AC6

After the second ECM fog device you deactivate, follow the path of red beacons and defeat the enemies that attack with long-range lasers.

armored core 6 survey uninhabited floating city combat log glhf (1) — FromSoftware, Bandai Namco Entertainment

After defeating them, continue heading in the same direction to spot a wrecked AC and another foe. Defeat all the enemies here to make sure you get the combat log.

Survey the Uninhabited Floating City (Alt Mission) Combat Log location – AC6

armored core 6 chapter 3 combat logs glhf (11) — FromSoftware, Bandai Namco Entertainment

In this Alt Mission you'll be attacked by Thumb Dolmayan, a necessary target for mission completion.

Eliminate the Enforcement Squads Combat Log location – AC6

armored core 6 chapter 3 combat logs glhf (10) — FromSoftware, Bandai Namco Entertainment

From where you begin, search the right side of the stage, away from the enemies, and instead in the very corner of the in-bounds area to the right and behind where you start. You can find a wrecked AC unit in a corner near some rocks here.

armored core 6 chapter 3 combat logs glhf (9) — FromSoftware, Bandai Namco Entertainment

You’ll need to collect this in order to encounter “Ring” Freddie, a Rubicon Liberation Front AC pilot that will ambush you, and will drop another combat log.

After that you'll go up against two PCA MTs near the entrance to the Wall.

armored core 6 chapter 3 combat logs glhf (8) — FromSoftware, Bandai Namco Entertainment

Inside the Wall you'll find a PCA Warrant Officer HC with a Pulse Shield.

Attack the Old Spaceport Combat Log location – AC6

armored core 6 chapter 3 combat logs glhf (7) — FromSoftware, Bandai Namco Entertainment

As you start the stage head immediately to the right, over the crevasse in the land and up onto the upper ice shelf. Up here you’ll find an enemy LC unit that will reward you with a combat log.

armored core 6 chapter 3 combat logs glhf (6) — FromSoftware, Bandai Namco Entertainment

Another combat log can be earned from an LC unit to the left side of the stage, just before the three berthed warships at the back.

Eliminate “Honest” Brute Combat Log location – AC6

armored core 6 eliminate honest brute combat logs glhf (7) — FromSoftware, Bandai Namco Entertainment

This mission has a bunch of optional stuff, but it's also very easy to sprint to the finish. First off, instead of dropping down immediately, check out the upper balconies of the towers hanging from the ceiling. Some have MTs on top to take down.

armored core 6 eliminate honest brute combat logs glhf (6) — FromSoftware, Bandai Namco Entertainment

Next up, drop down to the platforms with red laser bots. Yes, you're advised to avoid the lasers, but you'll have to fight in this area anyway, so might as well wipe them all out. There are several MTs on these laser platforms that hold combat logs, so better safe than sorry: wipe them all out. There's even a chest on one of these platforms.

armored core 6 eliminate honest brute combat logs glhf (3) — FromSoftware, Bandai Namco Entertainment

Once you drop down to the largest platform you'll see a heavy Tetrapod MT lying in wait, and it holds another combat log.

armored core 6 eliminate honest brute combat logs glhf (4) — FromSoftware, Bandai Namco Entertainment

Before dropping down from this platform, head to the furthest point, the opposite direction to your waypoint, to find another hidden MT.

armored core 6 eliminate honest brute combat logs glhf (2) — FromSoftware, Bandai Namco Entertainment

Continue through the level until you get to the MTs protected by the shield - wipe all of these out for another combat log.

armored core 6 eliminate honest brute combat logs glhf (1) — FromSoftware, Bandai Namco Entertainment

This final log is held by the target AC, "Honest" Brute.

armored core 6 chapter 4 battle log locations glhf (7) — FromSoftware, Bandai Namco Entertainment

...and V.VIII Pater.

Eliminate V.III Combat Log location – AC6

Destroy AC V.III O’Keefe.

Unknown Territory Survey Combat Log location – AC6

armored core 6 chapter 4 battle log locations glhf (2) — FromSoftware, Bandai Namco Entertainment

There’s another AC fight near the end of this mission with V.IV Rusty – complete it for the combat log.

Unknown Territory Survey (Alt Mission) Combat Log location – AC6

armored core 6 chapter 4 battle log locations glhf (1) — FromSoftware, Bandai Namco Entertainment

The same AC fight as the original Unknown Territory Survey mission, except there'll be a second AC to contend with: Middle Flatwell.

Reach the Coral Covergence Combat Log location – AC6

armored core 6 coral convergence battle logs glhf (4) — FromSoftware, Bandai Namco Entertainment

Defeat the two enemy ACs near the start of the stage, V.VI Maeterlinck and G3 Wu Huahai.

armored core 6 coral convergence battle logs glhf (1) — FromSoftware, Bandai Namco Entertainment

For another combat log, defeat the grinder enemy on the bridge.

At the end of the bridge look down and to your right to where there's some dry land near the lake bed. Go down here to find a wrecked AC unit, and two tough MTs lying in wait that hold combat logs. Make sure not to aggro the grinder wheels on the left side of the lake, otherwise you'll have a very tough time.

Now they're finished, it's time to... take out all the grinder wheels on the lake bed. Yeah, this will be difficult, so I recommend using a heavy build with long-range FCS and missiles on every weapon option. That'll take these out quickly so they can't overwhelm you.

armored core 6 coral convergence battle logs glhf (6) — FromSoftware, Bandai Namco Entertainment

Finally, there's a tough PCA MT just before the resupply point and boss encounter.

Reach the Coral Covergence (Alt Mission) Combat Log location – AC6

armored core 6 coral convergence alt combat log (3) — FromSoftware, Bandai Namco Entertainment

On top of the two ACs near the beginning of the stage, you will also have to face off against V.II Snail in this alt mission.

Intercept the Corporate Forces Combat Log location – AC6

armored core 6 chapter 5 combat log locations glhf (11) — FromSoftware, Bandai Namco Entertainment

armored core 6 chapter 5 combat log locations glhf (10) — FromSoftware, Bandai Namco Entertainment

Underneath this glass ceiling will get a heavy target unit.

armored core 6 chapter 5 combat log locations glhf (9) — FromSoftware, Bandai Namco Entertainment

Inside the large chamber you'll go up against the Arquebus Main Squad Member HC.

You can save his life, but he can't trust you, and will turn on you immediately after. Finish him off for a combat log.
