ARMS update out now (version 5.1.0) – Gallery feature, new badges, Party Crash additions, Tournament Mode

ARMS’ latest update has gone live, as players can now download version 5.1.0. No new fighters have been added, but Nintendo has released several new features.

First, players can now access an art gallery. You can unlock illustrations using in-game currency or by fulfilling certain conditions.

Other new additions include badges, Party Crash additions, and a Tournament Mode. Tournament Mode is “made for tournaments with all ARMS unlocked.”

We’ve posted the full patch notes for ARMS version 5.1.0 below.

• Added new “Gallery” feature. Unlock amazing illustrations using in-game currency, or by fulfilling certain conditions.
• Added new badges.
  • Added badges earned when certain pairs of fighters rack up battles together.
  • Added badges earned by repeatedly using each ARM.
  • And so many more!
• New additions to Party Crash.
  • ARMS Labs have manufactured the ultimate version of Hedlok. It will appear only in Party Crash.
  • ARMS Labs have thought up some new Bonus Periods. Look out for them!
  • If a featured fighter is losing by more than 1000 points in the current lobby, the bonus for using them will increase from 1.5x to 2x. Time for some comebacks!

  • When in Tournament Mode you will be unable to play other modes such as Grand Prix or Ranked Match, and you won’t receive badges or in-game currency. Records will also not be recorded.
