FromSoftware has released a new patch for Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon, and though it isn’t the biggest, it does contain some much-needed buffs. Weapons like MA-J-200 RANSETSU-RF, LR-036 CURTIS, RF-024 TURNER, RF-025 SCUDDER, and more have increased attack power and reduced reload time.
Three bosses have also seen some of their attacks “adjusted.” If you’re having trouble fighting AAP07: BALTEUS, IA-13: SEA SPIDER and IB-01: CEL240, these fights may be easier to handle following the latest patch. The patch also includes fixes for missions like Destroy the Weaponized Mining Ship, which prevented some weapons from damaging the boss.
Another bug caused vertical missiles and some Coral weapons to deal too much damage, so that’s been fixed. Those on Xbox and Steam should also take note: A bug that made the game go offline, causing progress to go unsaved after waking up from Sleep Mode, is also fixed. Check out the full patch notes below for more details.
Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon is available now on Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5, PC and Xbox One. Check out our review here.
