Armored Core 6: Moonlight Blade - Location and Stats Guide

To obtain one of the most legendary weapons, the IA-Co1W2 Moonlight, also known as the Moonlight Blade, in Armored Core 6, you must reach the conclusion of chapter 4, titled Reach the Coral Convergence. It’s advisable to equip the Songbird Grenade Launcher and Ben Machine Guns for efficient enemy elimination. After you acquire the weapon, it will appear in your inventory only upon defeating the chapter’s boss.

Now, let’s dive into why acquiring this weapon in Armored Core 6 is essential and how to do it.

Location of the Moonlight Blade

At the conclusion of the Reach the Coral Convergence mission, eliminate V6 and Gun 3 before advancing to the next checkpoint. From there, proceed toward the damaged bridge.

You can either drop into the water or stick to the left side and jet over the bridge to reach the opposite shore.

Beneath the bridge, you’ll encounter three Ancient Coral Wheel Machines; use Songbirds to eliminate them, or simply grab the weapon and take off.

Upon reaching the other side, you will find a box marked with an objective indicator. This contains the Moonlight Blade.

If you’d prefer to avoid the foes guarding the box, fly across the bridge and move directly to its end. Jump off the left edge, and you will land right in front of the chest containing the Moonlight Blade.
