Designed specifically for laptop PCs, it's the first significant output of Qualcomm's Apple-influenced Nuvia subsidiary, debuts a brand new CPU core architecture known as Oryon and comes with performance claims that are fairly eye popping.
FromSoftware comes for your favorite shotguns in new Armored Core 6 patch
05.10.2023 - 22:09 / polygon.com / Bandai Namco / New
FromSoftware released a new patch for Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon on Thursday, and three very overdue targets were struck by the nerf laser. Say a fond farewell to your reliably overpowered SG-027 Zimmerman shotguns, Songbirds grenade cannons, and Stun Needle Launcher.
Those go-to boss killers were all affected by patch 1.03.1 for Armored Core 6. Probably with good reason, too — the Zimmermans in particular were a notoriously overused option, and the nerfs feel justified. Here’s how FromSoftware describes the balance adjustment to the Zimmerman and two other ol’ reliables:
Those adjustments certainly don’t make the Zimmerman, Songbirds, and Stun Needle Launcher useless, so if you have experience using them, you’re probably going to be OK — but the nerfs do have an impact on their extreme effectiveness.
FromSoftware has made commensurate adjustments to dozens of other weapons in Armored Core 6, increasing the total rounds and projectile speed, while lowering reload times for a bunch of stuff that is not the aforementioned trio of OP weapons. Handgun users in particular will have more ammo going into battle, which is welcome. The outcome of these nerfs and buffs will lead to more build variety, hopefully.
Various AC parts have also been tweaked, so double-check your builds. Many boosters also have newly increased upward thrust, so expect to spend a little more time in the air.
You can find the full patch notes for version 1.03.1 at publisher Bandai Namco’s website.

New RPG inspired by Dragon Ball creator’s manga looks stunning
Sand Land grabbed a hold of my attention unexpectedly after its reveal this summer, and I’ve been waiting for more news on the upcoming RPG since. Developed by ILCA and published by JRPG king Bandai Namco Entertainment, Sand Land is shaping up to be nothing short of exciting. The new game is inspired by Akira Toriyama’s manga of the same name. If you don’t know who Toriyama is, he is the creator of Dragon Ball and pretty much a deity among dedicated manga readers.
