Armored Core VI: Fires Of Rubicon might be another punishingly-brutal game from serial dispensers of pain, FromSoftware, but that hasn’t broken the creative spirits of folks playing it if the cavalcade of custom cores popping up on social media and in subreddits since launch is any indication.
Thanks to the game’s mech customisation features, players have been able to paint and design some pretty incredible machines of war. Some of the cores we’ve are genuinely dope-looking mechs based on some iconic characters like Krillin or Kirby, others rep brands like Guinness and Walmart.
