Armored Core 6 Fires Of Rubicon 1.02 Patch Nerfs Its Hardest Bosses

Bandai Namco and FromSoftware have released the latest update for Armored Core 6 Fires Of Rubicon. The Armored Core 6 Fires Of Rubicon 1.02 patch offers significant buffs for many weapons and even nerfs the attacks of several of the game’s most difficult bosses.

While the patch notes don’t elaborate much about the bosses, a data miner has managed to dig up more details:

In a bit of a departure vs the other 2 bosses, C-Spider seems to be more vulnerable to most damage types, especially energy and explosives.

Damage received multipliers:
Kinetic: x1.07 -> x1.14
Energy: x0.79 -> x1.07
Explosive: x0.72 -> x0.93
