Player AC related fixes
- Fixed an issue that occurs when equipping a chargeable shoulder mounted weapon and pressing the shift control button while being staggered, resulting in any attack following the initial stagger to not incur a heavy stagger state on the player.
- During online play, fixed an issue where players releasing the guard button right before becoming staggered would cause subsequent attacks to not result in a heavy stagger state.
- Fixed an issue where hits would sometimes not register when attacking enemies using Pulse Armor/Terminal Armor with a melee weapon
- Fixed an issue that caused melee attacks to not connect with enemies due to interactions with walls and terrain.
- Fixed an issue that caused player AC to continuously float upwards after recovering from falling out of the map area
Online match related Fixes
- In Ranked Matches, the change to rating for S-Rank matches has been adjusted.
*Specifically, the number of matches required for the rating value to even-out has been increased.
This is to avoid the the player being repeatedly demoted/promoted shortly after reaching S-Rank.
- Fixed an issue that, under certain circumstances, players not subject to rank resets would be unable to progress past the rank-up results phase
System related fixes
- Fixed issue that caused game to crash after customizing AC via the ASSEMBLY menu.
- Fixed an issue that sometimes occurred after applying WEATHERING via the PAINT menu, resulting in graphical abnormalities as well as game crashes.
Steam version related fixes
- Fixed an issue where in-game movies would not play if the PC’s sound device was disabled.
- Fixed an issue where pressing Alt＋Enter to change the screen mode would result in SYSTEM Menu>Graphics Settings not being selectable.
- Fixed an issue that caused the key icons shown within “input device settings>key settings” to not display correctly for certain languages.

In terms of what’s in the patch, there is no new content included though there is balance changes and a balance adjustments per the Armored Core 6 producer.
Some of the key things that the community noticed that got changed:
- Melee specialization massively increased (second best is now at 139 instead of 117)
- Lammergeier legs got their stability reduced from 1051 to 980, and they
- The Ocellus FCS got a big nerf from 90 to 81 close-range specialization
- Long-range FCS got their mid-range specialization buffed, one of them has 85 now which is the highest in the gameEnergy specialization of some generators has changed, the VE-20A has 120 now
- Etsujin got its damage/impact/acc. impact reduced from 51-48-22 to 48-44-20,
- Chang-Chen got its recoil reduced from 6 to 5, but both it and the Ludlow are still completely unmanageable when dual wielded, even on Wrecker arms. via y ASNUs27
While Armored Core 6 performed better than expectations according to FromSoftware, there is no announced DLC for the game.
Once the official patch notes are out, we’ll update the article with the info.
