Game description: It's been 20 years since the earth government and the corporations battled for supremacy. A new and mysterious entity has entered the picture, however, snapping up all the available Ravens for intense missions that only their custom-built Armored Core units can handle. As a Raven, take on 50 solo missions using revamped weapons, upgrades, and the all-new drop feature, which allows you to pick up and drop weapons in your environment. You can also pit your custom-designed ACs against your friends in two-on-two-battles.

Trivia
- Original names: アーマード・コア3 (SLPS-25112) & (SLPS-73417), 아머드 코어 3 (SLPM-67524)
Known Issues
Vertical lines
- Type: Not an issue
- Description: Vertical lines of varying color in some text and menus at resolutions higher than native, most notable in the assembly menu when observing parts.
- Workaround: At Internal resolutions of 2x, 4x, and 6x a TC Offset of X: 0337, Y: 0201 will clear up most. (MSAA makes it nearly impossible to fix)
