How to rank up your Hunter class through Loghunt in Armored Core 6

Armored Core 6's Loghunt mission spans not only the entire campaign, but New Game Plus, as well. Players will need to find tough enemies and destroy them to earn battle logs. These are often well hidden within missions, meaning finding the combat log locations within Armored Core 6 is a challenge in itself - and that's before you start combat. The rewards are worth it, however, raising your Hunter.

If you're looking to track down all of the Armored Core 6 Loghunt combat and battle log locations within the game, we've got them all here in this guide, including which ones you can find on which missions, and which ones you'll need to replay to find.

How to rank up your Hunter Class through Loghunt

You must find powerful enemies throughout Armored Core 6 that carry Combat or Battle Logs in order to rank up your Loghunt and increase your Hunter Class. Some of these enemies are important to your mission, some are hidden away in areas you wouldn't typically visit.

You can tell if an enemy has a combat log that you can get when you target them, as there will be a small combat log symbol in the top left of the circle around them. Further, you can check which missions contain enemies with combat logs to track down any you missed.

Go to the Replay Mission menu and scroll through. Any mission with the combat log symbol beside it contains an enemy with a combat log. You can check the mission description on the right to see if you have that combat log. If it says BATTLE LOG: PENDING then you have not yet acquired it.

Each combat log has a rating between Bronze and Platinum. The higher the rating of the combat log, the more progress you will make in your Loghunt rank.

Why is it important to increase your Hunter Class? Put simply, doing so will unlock additional, Loghunt specific, items for your Armored Core. You'll also need to work through the Loghunt to check off the game's trophies & achievements list, notably the Combat Log Collector achievement.
