Armored Core 6: How To Heal

At the start of every mission, you get three repair kits, which allow you to heal a certain amount of AP (your health points). To do this, just press up on the D-pad and you will recover AP.

You only get three charges, and they don’t seem to be replenishable in any way. Still, this is a nice change from previous games and allows you to recover if things go sideways, especially in tougher boss battles.
