Story Master Trophy in Armored Core V

  • Story Master

     

    Awarded for completing all Story Missions with Rank S.

    How to unlock Story Master

    Every Story and Order Mission you complete in AC:V will be rated and you will receive a Rank marking, D being the lowest and S being the highest. This trophy only requires that you Rank S in the story missions so don't sweat it about Order Missions.

    Firstly, your Rank is determined by the income you generate. In turn, you gain income by completing the main primary objectives, and also in-mission 'subquests'. At the end, an accumulation of your money earned by passing the mission is added to the bonus money you generate by passing subquest criteria, and then is offset against the cost of replacing ammo you used during the mission, and the cost of repairs to your AC. The exact amounts you need to earn in order to obtain a Rank S varies from mission to mission, but generally, you will find that you can Rank S most missions if you complete as many subquests as possible in a single run whilst ensuring you take the least amount of damage you possibly can (see Subquest Master for more info).

    As to how you actually perform in combat, there is no singular method to ensure you take the path of least resistance. Because you can loadout your AC pretty much how you want, it comes down to your playing style, as in what worked for me may not suit the playing style of someone else who could Rank S a mission using a completely different loadout, utilise each different weapon and play to your strengths. One thing I would recommend is that upon completion of the Story Mode, you will unlock 3 ultimate weapons. These all deal a catastrophic amount of damage and can one hit kill pretty much every enemy in the game, so use this to your advantage when fighting AC enemies that normally take some dropping with conventional weaponry.

    The only other thing to say really is practice. Sounds obvious but play the missions over a couple of times, pay attention to the enemy spawn locations, get a strategy down for each attacking phase, apply different loadouts until you find the best balance of defence and attack to make sure you find the perfect AC loadout to help you. The videos in the spoiler below will give you a guide on how to perform, watch them and try to imitate attack patterns and shoot/evade tactics. Best of luck!
