The newArmored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon1.03 update changes the game in small but important ways, and it’s currently available for all platforms. Over 20 bugs are fixed by the patch, such as one that caused some enemies to get stuck into terrain duringArmored Core 6’s “Intercept the Redguns” mission. Other targets of the update include a bug that caused enemies to stop appearing in the “Escort the Weaponized Mining Ship” mission, a glitch that prevented damage caused by status effects from appearing on the screen, and others. Also, three specific issues related to the Steam version were fixed, including one that causedArmored Core 6to crash when changing the game’s graphics while in a multiplayer room.

Aside from bug-fixing, the new update also adds a few features toArmored Core 6, such as creating an option for spectators of online matches to quit watching before the fight’s end via a button or adding a new parameter called Scan Standby Time to head part specs. It’s important to note that the 1.03 patch is necessary for online play, therefore players who don’t update their games will no longer be able to participate in any multiplayer capacity.

While the patch will likely makeArmored Core 6even better, not all updates have been unanimously liked by the community. For instance,Armored Core 6players had mixed opinions on Balteus’s nerf. Balteus is the final boss of Chapter 1 and is considered a very difficult fight by most people. The 1.02 patch gave Balteus a small nerf by making it easier for gamers to avoid his missile waves. However, the community has been fairly divided on the matter, with some people welcoming the change, while others believe it erodes the hardcore spirit of the game.
