My Tips And Suggestions
You can find Chests more easily by maxing out your in-game brightness alongside adjusting the saturation and brightness of your monitor to make chests more visible. That may take you away from the immersion and ruin the crafted experience of Armored Core 6, so let’s stick with finding chests the way FromSoftware intended, with the Scan Function.
You can use the Scan Function to find enemies behind walls and unopened chests. The range is limited, but you’ll access better head parts with a more extensive scan distance as you play the game. To scan, you can press the “V” key on your keyboard or “Down” on your D-pad if you’re using a controller or playing on a console.
