Patch 1.03.1 of Armored Core VI has arrived, bringing about several balance changes to weapons, including the Zimmerman.

The 1.03.1 Patch brings with it balance adjustments to multiple Weapon Units, Frame Parts, Inner Parts, and Expansions, and numerous bug fixes.

Due to the continued dominance of heavy weapon builds and the Zimmermans, this patch focuses on nerfing them and giving overall buffs to other weapons, such as handguns and bazookas.

Additionally, Armored Core parts have also been adjusted, with heavy builds now having slower assault boost kicks, but boosters got a buff across the board for thrust, which allows for better flight.

Some notable changes to Weapon Units include:

• SHOTGUN “SG-026 HALDEMAN”: decreased Direct Hit Adjustment
• SHOTGUN “SG-027 ZIMMERMAN”: decreased Attack Power/Impact/Accumulative Impact/Direct Hit Adjustment
• LINEAR RIFLE “LR-036 CURTIS”: decreased Recoil/Charge Time
• LINEAR RIFLE “LR-037 HARRIS”: increased Chg. Attack Power/Cooling, decreased Charge Time
• HANDGUN “HG-003 COQUILLETT”: increased Total Rounds
• HANDGUN “HG-004 DUCKETT”: increased Total Rounds
• BURST HANDGUN “MA-E-211 SAMPU”: increased Total Rounds
• BAZOOKA “DF-BA-06 XUAN-GE”: increased Projectile Speed, decreased Reload Time
• BAZOOKA “MAJESTIC”: increased Projectile Speed, decreased Reload Time
• BAZOOKA “LITTLE GEM”: increased Projectile Speed, decreased Reload Time
• DETONATING BAZOOKA “44-141 JVLN ALPHA”: increased Projectile Speed, decreased Reload Time
• DUAL MISSILE “BML-G1/P31DUO-02”: increased Attack Power/Impact/Accumulative Impact/Guidance/Projectile Speed
• DUAL MISSILE “BML-G1/P32DUO-03”: increased Attack Power/Impact/Accumulative Impact/Guidance/Projectile Speed
• DUAL MISSILE “BML-G2/P08DUO-03”: increased Attack Power/Impact/Accumulative Impact/Guidance/Projectile Speed
