Four weapons off the Rubicon roster
Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon put a huge arsenal in a Raven's hands, and Weapon Set 04 pulls four of them straight off the in-game list: the HU-BEN twin-linked Gatling gun, the Tai-Yang-Shou explosive thrower, and the standard and split-fire BML back missile launchers. This is a parts set, not a stand-alone mecha. It's built for 30MM Armored Core VI collectors who want a body kit armed the way it looked on screen, and for anyone building a shelf of ACs with different loadouts.
Build difficulty
This is a snap-fit accessory kit, not a full model build. No cement and no paint are needed to finish it. Parts come off the runners with a pair of nippers and clip straight onto a 30MM Armored Core VI body kit's arm and back-mount points. Where a weapon changes shape between the left and right side, Bandai includes separate mirrored parts, so the only real decision during assembly is picking the correct side for each. Realistically under an hour to cut, clean up the gate marks, and fit all four weapons.
Technical highlights
The HU-BEN is a twin-barrel Gatling gun built for the arm-grip mount shared across the 30MM line. The Tai-Yang-Shou is a compact explosive thrower for the same grip point, giving you a close-range option alongside the Gatling's sustained fire. The two BML units are back-mounted: the standard launcher for a straightforward volley, the split-fire version moulded with the extra sub-missile detail that separates it visually from the standard unit. Parts are moulded in colour, unpainted, in keeping with the rest of the 30MM line. No lighting, no metal parts, no display base, this is weapons only.
What makes this set special
-
Four distinct weapon types in one set: a Gatling gun, an explosive thrower, and two missile launchers cover close, mid, and long-range loadouts without buying four separate sets.
-
Mirrored build options: weapons that change shape left to right come with the extra parts to build the correct mirrored version for each mount.
-
Screen and game accurate naming: each weapon is the real in-game part (HU-BEN, Tai-Yang-Shou, and the two BML launchers), not a generic stand-in.
-
Snap-fit, no glue or paint: straight off the runner and onto a 30MM Armored Core VI body kit.
-
Fits the 30MM Armored Core VI mount standard: arm-grip weapons use the shared 30MM peg system, back units use the standard 1/144 back-mount socket.

Compatible kits
This set is designed for the 30MM Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon body kits, using the arm-grip and back-mount points common to the range. Arm-mounted weapons use the standard 30MM grip peg, back units use the standard 1/144 back-mount socket, so the set works across the 30MM Armored Core VI range generally. No display base is included with this set.

What to watch for
This is a small accessory set, so there isn't much independent build commentary published on it yet. The main practical note is that this is weapons only. There's no body, stand, or figure in the box, so make sure you've got (or are also grabbing) a 30MM Armored Core VI body kit to mount these on.
Builder tips: the missile fin detail on both BML launchers is small and easy to lose on the runner. Keep a tray handy while you're cutting parts free, and dry-fit each weapon on your body kit before cutting off the mirrored spare parts you don't need.
Build notes
No cement or paint required to finish this set, though a little panel lining will sharpen the detail on the missile launchers if you want it. Basic tools only, nippers and a hobby knife for gate clean-up. Build time is well under an hour.
