AC6 Chapter NG+ Walkthrough. Every mission, boss strategy, tips, gear upgrades, and more!
This is the NG+ New Game Plus Walkthrough for AC6! It contains notes on all NG+ Chapters.
Missable Items in AC6? Will remind you in every chapter that you can't really miss items since you can replay missions. If there actually is one you can somehow miss, I will let you know when I find out.

The goal of New Game Plus is to choose the missions you DIDN'T DO on your first playthrough. Which will give you the ending you didn't get the first time.
This way you get to experience all the missions the game has to offer (achievement), as well as all the endings (also achievements).
Seeing as you're in NG++ you might wanna check out
AC6 Endings Guide - how to get all three of 'em
NG+ Chapter 1
See: Chapter 1 Walkthrough for the mission notes if you need it.
SORTIE: Attack the Dam Complex
This mission changes, and gives you a decision WHILE IN MISSION. You want to choose "Accept", to defeat and betray the Redguns.
Doing so changes this mission a bit, wherein you have to fight them both instead of the usual mission.
Beating Volta and Iguazu: The usual strategy applies here in these "2v1" fights. Burst down one of them (Usually Volta), then deal with Iguazu. Iguazu is a little slippery so you want to have a melee weapon here. Have good staggering hand-weapons, and heavy burst shoulder ones.
Selecting DECLINE is probably the same old mission as before.
SORTIE: Prisoner Rescue
GEAR PREP: Long range FCS, and good long-range weapons like Laser Rifle.
A "continuation" mission if you betray the Redguns at the dam. This can be annoying. You'll likely fail this mission once or twice to "learn" where the enemies will spawn. The objective is to escort the helicopter all the way to the end without it dying.
Boss - Redguns and G2 Nile: DESTROY THE CHUMPS FIRST, and any succeeding chumps that spawn. The faster you kill Nile the better. Save up all your repair kits and Helicopter life leading up to this so you can play RECKLESSLY here and destroy G2 Nile asap.
You also want to fight G2 Nile while he's facing "away" from the heli because his stray shots can damage it. ALOT.
Any other mission with no or minor differences aren't mentioned.
NG+ Chapter 2
See: Chapter 2 Walkthrough for the mission notes if you need it.
Arena Analysis Unlocked
Basically a higher tier arena. As always, do these ASAP.
Stop the Secret Data Breach
It's unclear if this is related to the Dam mission, or simply a new mission in NG+, either way since it wasn't around the first time...
This mission requires some practice, as the map is a little confusing. You need to find and destroy all the hacking drones within the time limit.
Boss - G5 Iguazu + Chumps: This shouldnt be a problem. Fight Iguazu, then chumps come around and spawn. You'll want to take care of them first before refocusing on Iguazu.
Iguazu is really annoying here, and has a shield too. Double Pulse Guns work well, but here's a strat that work with any loadout. There's a small "2-car garage" structure nearby. Use that to "deny Line of Sight" to Iguazu, invalidating his hit and run playstyle. From there melee and destroy him / repeat.
Any other mission with no or minor differences aren't mentioned.
NG+ Chapter 3
See: Chapter 3 Walkthrough for the mission notes if you need it.
DECISION MISSION: If you chose Tunnel Sabotage the first time, choose Prevent Corporate Salvage of New Tech this time around, and vice versa.
DECISION MISSION: If you chose Destroy the Special Forces Craft the first time, choose Eliminate the Enforcement Squads this time around, and vice versa.
SORTIE: Prevent Corporate Salvage of New Tech
In your first playthrough, you are "forced" to take Tunnel Sabotage, since it wasn't even a choice back then. Since this is a new choice, you might as well take it now.
It's a pretty basic mission. While running away from the Coral surge, you take a little bit of damage over time. Make sure to heal! I don’t know if there’s a time limit, but just ignore the enemies while running away back to the entrance.
SORTIE: Defend the Dam Complex
I don't know if this is related to other decision (the Dam back in CH1?), but seemingly this mission will show up in all NG+/NG++ playthroughs...
This is a tough fight against a total of three AC type enemies. Thankfully, if you’re quick you never need to fight 2 at a time. If you do end up in a 2v1 or 3v1 situation, you’ve probably lost.
Start the mission and rush immediately to the left - and eliminate Umber Ox first. Then head to Aster Crown. Following that, Raven will come to help them after some time. I choose to Umber Ox first because it's a little easier to kill, while also having a lot more powerful firepower - essentially I'd rather have the OTHER guy come to backup rather than this one if I'm running slow.
While Aster Crown and Umber Ox can be a little slow, Raven is a fast AC. You have to balance your loadout around this. The usual suspects are great. Melee + Shotgun (or any other weapon), then bursty shoulder weapons.
Any other mission with no or minor differences aren't mentioned.
NG+ Chapter 4
See: Chapter 4 Walkthrough for the mission notes if you need it.
DECISION MISSION: If you chose Intercept the Redguns the first time, choose Ambush the Vespers this time around, and vice versa.
Intercept the Redguns is notably an extremely tedious mission. The amount of "beep beep" is grating.
SORTIE: Unknown Territory Survey
For this playthrough, and NG++, it will be a 2v1 (I'm guessing it depends on previous mission decisions? I got a 2v1 here in both NG+ and ++). You have some time before his backup comes... Rusty is a fast AC, and your buddy isn't exactly easy to deal with. Melee weapons and a machine gun to stagger - then burst him ASAP. The very second this becomes a 2v1, it's likely a loss for you.
Any other mission with no or minor differences aren't mentioned.
NG+ Chapter 5
See: Chapter 5 Walkthrough for the mission notes if you need it.
DECISION MISSION: If you chose Intercept Corporate Forces the first time, choose Eliminate "Cinder" Carla this time around, and vice versa.
This choice in particular is very important. It determines which ending you get. Naturally, either selection will change the missions leading up to the conclusion of CH5.
So, once you beat NG+, you SHOULD have both the "Fires of Raven", and "Liberator of Rubicon" endings.
Congratulations! You've beaten AC6 NG+. Just one more to go...
