Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon stomps out this August, promising more mech-on-mech action than you can shake a VHS copy of Robot Jox at. But if you’re thinking about picking up FromSoftware’s latest, you’ll want to know how to get the most for your money. So if you’re wondering what the preorder bonuses are for Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon, here’s the full answer for the launch, digital, collector’s, and premium edition.
All Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon Preorder Bonuses – Launch, Collector’s, Premium Edition

- MELANDER C3 G13 Special Customization “TENDERFOOT”

These are all digital, in-game items. The ones marked with a * can be unlocked in-game, but if you preorder the game you get them unlocked early. It’s not the best preorder bonus in the world.

The only difference between the Premium and Collector’s Editions of Armored Core VI Fires of Rubicon is that the Premium version comes with a garage to mount your Armored Core figurine in. And for that privilege, you’re paying $200 more. Hey, it’s your money.
A handful of retailers have the Collector’s Edition on their website, but your best bet is to directly order it from the Bandai Namco store. That’s also the only way to get your hands on the Premium Edition.
As for the Standard Edition, every retailer I’ve looked at is selling the Launch Edition and given that they’re the same price there’s no reason to plump for the Standard Edition. However, it’s worth checking, just to make sure, particularly if you’re buying off eBay.
Are There Retailer-Exclusive Preorder Bonuses?
Sometimes, retailers will offer preorder bonuses for purchasing a game from them, but in the case of Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon, that’s not the case. There are no retailer-exclusive preorder bonuses, physical or digital.
So if you were wondering what the preorder bonuses for Armored Core VI Fires of Rubicon are, that’s everything you need to know.
