Laser Beam:
To perform the laser beam attack, lose enough credits until it reads -50,000 or -60,000C six times
and you'll have double the output in your
generator, the ability to use the grenade launcher, laser cannon or other back weapons while you
move and the laser beam. After all this, draw your
sword and TAP X at the arc of your attack (do not hold X or you'll jump afterwards). With the hidden
Moonlight sword, you can kill ALL enemies
with one beam, and ANY mechs with two beams (even in two-player mode)!

Nine-Ball Strategy:
First lose 6 times so you can use your back weapon while you move and the generator enhancement. You
must have the most heavy armor, laser cannon
(back weapon), rockets (for the enemies) and that hidden laser gun. Kill all the enemies. Now, when
facing Nine-Ball, fall all the way to the
bottom. Kill that bird-mech and just wait until you hear Nine-Ball's booster. Draw out your laser
cannon and wait for Nine-Ball to FALL in the
hole (you can look down to see his silhouette)! By the time he fall in, he will not move, because
like you he fell from a far distance. You can
hit him with one laser beam then pound him with the laser cannon! Easy! Now fly up to the other
shaft and by the time you hear Nine-Ball #2 fall
back down and wait for him! Repeat what you did to Nine-Ball #1. Hopefully you'll place first in
ranking.

Death Becomes You
In Armored Core (AC), try to die with less then -50,000 credit in your account.
If one death does not bring you below 50,000, you can always die again.
When this happens, an FMV (sort of) will start, and after it, the game will start
over from the first stage, however you get to keep everying you own.
The benefit of this trick is that when you do start over, you get special
bonuses each time you do this trick.
1st time: Your Radar becomes a Grid
2nd time: no change
3rd time: no change
4th time: You can now fire your back weapon while you move
5th time: no change
6th time: Your energy output doubles, giving you almost unlimited flight with
the right configuration
