Armored Core VI Patch Tweaks Bosses, Weapons for New Players But Leaves Tutorial Boss Untouched

The first patch for Armored Core VI focuses on singleplayer balancing and bug fixes. Main changes are making bosses less aggressive and buffing some weaker starting weapons.
Boss adjustments made to 3 bosses - BALTEUS, SEA SPIDER, and CEL240. Changes make bosses less aggressive and easier for new players.
Numerous bug fixes, including fixes for certain weapons not damaging bosses, bosses not detecting players, and graphics/camera bugs.
Starter rifles, machine guns, and laser weapons buffed. Increased damage, fire rate, ammo capacity - made more viable options early/mid game.
Tutorial boss not changed in patch - oversight as still very difficult for new players. Suggestion to add prompt to instruct players to stun and use laserblade.
