COAM (Consolidated Asset Management) is the primary currency in Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon. It is earned by successfully completing missions, selling unwanted parts, and sometimes through specific mission rewards. COAM is essential for purchasing new Armored Core parts, weapons, and upgrades from the AC Des menu, allowing you to customize and improve your mech's capabilities throughout the game.

Some missions may also offer bonus COAM for destroying specific targets or achieving certain combat feats. It's crucial to manage your COAM wisely, prioritizing purchases that will most significantly enhance your AC's performance for upcoming challenges.

• Optional Objectives: Completing secondary goals can sometimes reward extra COAM.
• Purchasing Parts: Acquire new weapons, frames, generators, and boosters.
