Bandai Namco and FromSoftware have released a new round of Armored Core 6 patch notes. As part of this latest update, the developers have buffed several weapon units, including the MA-J-201 Ransetsu Assault Rifle and the RF-024 Turner Assault Rifle. In addition, they’ve also nerfed the amount of damage that some bosses can dish out, meaning you should be able to clear these encounters much easier than before.
According to Bandai Namco’s announcement, the changes they specifically made were to the Armored Core 6 Sea Spider boss, the Armored Core 6 Balteus boss, and the CEL240 boss, so the amount of punishment they can deal should now be more manageable than it was in the past. Of course, these aren’t the only updates that FromSoftware has made as several bug fixes have also been introduced with this latest set of patch notes.
Some of the most prominent ones include a fix to “a bug that caused certain enemies to not be displayed correctly during the mission Survey the Uninhabited Floating City” and a fix to an issue that previously caused your mech’s punch animation not to be displayed correctly. The developers have also made a handful of other changes that should make the in-game experience smoother. So, if you want to check them all out, you can read these improvements below.
