Now, the newArmored Core 6: Fire of Rubiconupdate 1.02, which was just released by FromSoftware, is set to change the game in small, yet significant ways. One of the main changes of the patch is regarding the balancing of several major weapons. Eight weapons will be buffed in the update, increasing their efficiency to be competitive with other popular choices. For example, the MA-J-200 RANSETSU-RF will get improvements in attack power, rate of fire, and reload time, while the MA-E-210 ETSUJIN will get more total rounds as well as power and speed. Fortunately, no weapon whatsoever was nerfed.
Aside from that, almost a dozen bugs will be fixed, and camera controls for people watching online arena battles will be improved, giving them a better overall experience. From bugs mentioned in the patch notes, some are related to missions. For instance, one of them is regarding an unintended immunity that a boss could have against specific weapons in “Destroy the Weaponized Mining Ship,” which is often considered one of thebestArmored Core 6missions in Chapter 1.
This update can be downloaded right now by anyone who owns the game, as long as they have internet access, and most of these changes will be available for all platforms. However, two of the bugs fixed are only present in the Steam version of the game, and one will affect only Xbox and PC players. Hopefully, with the help of this and potentially a few more patches,Armored Core 6can carve its place among thebestArmored Coregamesin the franchise in the fans' memory.
