Players who preordered Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon receive an early unlock of the Melander C3 part set, along with a special customization option for those parts. They also receive an exclusive Decal and Emblem to use when customizing their Armored Core. The Melander C3 parts can be acquired through normal gameplay later on, so the cosmetics are the only element exclusive to the preorder bonus.
Each edition of the game that is available for purchase offers additional bonuses. While the Standard Edition only includes the game itself, players who ordered the Launch Edition will also receive art cards, a poster, and some stickers. The Deluxe Edition, while exclusive to digital versions of the game, includes a digital artbook and a copy of the game's soundtrack.
The Collectors Edition comes with a 19cm figurine of an Armored Core, a steelbook case, an artbook, 45 stickers, and four enamel pins. Finally, the Premium Edition includes everything from the Collectors Edition, along with a 35cm model hangar for the Armored Core figurine.
