Airbuster Choices | Best Airbuster Disposal

We recommend taking out as many of its AI Programming Cores as possible. This will limit its ability to use its Fingerbeams, which can stun your party members and are highly dangerous. Removing AI Programming Cores will have the added benefit of limiting Airbuster's movement abilities, making its attacks slower.

Where to Find Airbuster Keycards

There are a total of 6 Keycards obtainable in the Assembly Plant area. You're required to use the first keycard to take out an M Unit, so other than that, you're free to choose how to use them.

Each of the 6 Keycards can be found in the following locations. See the Chapter 7 Maps section for detailed locations of each of the Keycards on the full Map.

Room Location
Room B8 In the middle of the left wall
Room B7 In the middle of the right wall
Hallway between B7 and B6 Far left corner of the middle area
Room B6 In the middle of the left wall
Room B5 In the far left corner of the room
