Armored Core 6 patch notes: What changed in the latest update?

radiotimes.com:

Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon may have launched globally, yet that hasn't stopped developer FromSoftware from rolling out lots of new improvements via its latest update.

This isn't a surprising move, as the Japanese studio is known for its extensive patches, often focusing on balance adjustments – Elden Ring patches made headlines for months after release, for instance. Armored Core 6 is no different, with lots of minor adjustments being made to help with the game's difficulty.

FromSoftware has confirmed that this update is targeted at all major platforms where the game is playable, so that's PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One and Steam. It's noted that to play online, the 1.02 patch must be installed, so keep an eye on the bottom right-hand corner of the main menu to see what update is installed.

To break it down further, we've rounded up exactly what has changed in the latest update for Armored Core 6 as well as the full list of patch notes. Head below for more:

Known as patch 1.02, the update is focused on gameplay stability across the single-player component of the mech-based vehicular combat game. Alongside this, there are a number of balance adjustments specifically for early and mid-game levels to help with diversity when building.

The full mission list of Armored Core 6 has upwards of 50 tasks to complete, ranging from medium to reasonably high difficulty. These changes look to make the game more accessible. A balance adjustment for PvP mode is also in the works for a later date.

Naturally, there's a whole host of bug fixes. One addresses weapon damage in the «Destroy the Weaponized Mining Ship» mission while another looks to fix certain animations and camera controls when playing online.
