Complete walkthrough for Mission 07: Infiltrate Grid 086 in Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon. Includes objectives, enemy locations, collectibles, and SMART CLEANER boss strategy.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Launch into Grid 086's lower levels via catapult. Head towards the first marker at a railyard.
  2. 2
    Defeat the AC "Invincible" Rummy. He uses a chainsaw and is relatively easy to evade. This yields a silver battle log.
  3. 3
    After Rummy's defeat, a gate opens. Proceed through it to a large open area.
  4. 4
    Optional: To the left of the path, near the building Rummy was in, fly up to find two Tetrapod MTs marked by LOGHUNT (Silver). Use nearby fuel tanks for an ambush.
  5. 5
    Continue forward to find two RaD TOYBOX mechs marked by LOGHUNT (Bronze). Nearby, drop down a ledge to find the "Doser Ravings" data log in wreckage.
  6. 6
    Proceed to the next marker, which triggers an ambush by two TOYBOX mechs.
  7. 7
    After defeating the TOYBOX mechs, enter the interior of Grid 086. Look up at the ceiling in the room after the entrance to find the HC-3000 WRECKER AC part.
  8. 8
    Continue through the facility. Near a furnace and a gate, find the "The Collector's Last Words" data log.
  9. 9
    Past the furnace, a pipe leads to the independent mercenary Nosaac guarding the AC-3000 WRECKER AC part. Defeat him for a gold battle log. Melee or explosives are effective here.
  10. 10
    Continue past the furnace to find the CC-3000 WRECKER AC part guarded by RaD MTs.
  11. 11
    Exit the facility. Approach the next marker, which tags numerous RaD MTs. Use the hanging fuel tanks above them for an ambush.
  12. 12
    Defeat the remaining BAWS Tetrapod (SMG, bazookas, shield). Destroy its shield or outmaneuver it.
  13. 13
    Optional: Before the SMART CLEANER boss, head right from the previous MT squad area to find the 2C-3000 WRECKER AC part. Drop down from this ledge to find two RaD MTs and a TOYBOX mech marked by LOGHUNT.
  14. 14
    Head inside the facility to find a Supply Sherpa before the SMART CLEANER boss room.

SMART CLEANER Boss Fight:

  1. The SMART CLEANER is heavily armored with dangerous grinder arms. Its weak points are the furnace intake (front) and exhaust (top).
  2. Targeting the exhaust is generally safer due to its limited aerial attack range.
  3. Inflicting an ACS overload makes the frontal intake vulnerable. Use this time to attack and recover energy.
  4. At around 50% health, the SMART CLEANER enters Phase 2, becoming more aggressive with projectile attacks.
Tips
  • This mission is open-ended with many collectibles. Bring weapons suited for attrition, like a melee weapon.
  • The AC-3000 WRECKER series parts are scattered throughout the mission.
  • Listen for Ayre's callouts for enemy locations and objectives.
