Armored Core VI Update 1.08 Brings Balance Tweaks For Weapons and Parts

1

The recent 1.07.2 update (patch version 1.08 on PlayStation) for ARMORED CORE VI FIRES OF RUBICON focuses on balance adjustments across a variety of weapon and part types, refining the game’s core mechanics. Significant changes have been applied to weapon units, with specific modifications to the HG-004 DUCKETT handgun, which now features decreased attack power and heightened recoil and reload time, impacting its effectiveness in close-range combat. Additional adjustments include increased impact for the IB-C03W1: WLT 011 coral rifle, while weight reductions have been applied to the BML-G2/P03MLT-06 missile launcher and Vvc-706PM plasma missile launcher, enhancing mobility.

Updates to inner parts, notably to boosters and generators, further support balance in maneuverability and resource management. Boosters like BST-G2/P04, BUERZEL/21D, and others now provide increased upward thrust, benefiting vertical movement capabilities. The generators, particularly AG-T-005 HOKUSHI and VP-20D, have seen improvements in energy supply recovery, granting players a more consistent resource for sustained combat and agility.
