The missions you'll be deploying on in Armored Core 6 will place you in a ranking upon completion; the higher the rank, the more money you make, allowing you access to more advanced parts more quickly. S Rank is the highest rank, but it's not easy to earn. Here's how to get S Rank on missions in Armored Core 6.
How to Earn S Rank on Missions in Armored Core 6
There are several factors to getting an S Rank on a mission in Armored Core 6, and all of them have to do with your personal performance. You see, AC6 takes into consideration all of your efforts as you play, and the amount of money you make depends on how well you do in each mission.
Think of this system as a secret tally. When you do well, you maintain the S Rank you begin every mission with, but as you start to falter by taking damage, being slow, and/or idling too long in one location, your S Rank points are reduced. As such, the secret to maintaining an S Rank is to be highly efficient toward the mission goal.

For objective-based modes, this means completing the objective as quickly as possible. If there's a boss, destroying it fast helps you keep your S Rank. In Duel-like missions, the same applies. Winning quickly lets you earn an S Rank. However, as mentioned, taking damage in any regard reduces your rank, so avoid damage as much as possible.
My last bit of advice to those seeking the S Rank is to optimize your builds for the missions you're undertaking. You'd be surprised how a well-crafted Armored Core can greatly improve your performance in a mission. It may be overwhelming at first, but don't ignore the Assembly system if you're trying to gather S Ranks.
