ARMS Global Testpunch – “Warm-Up” practice mode can be played outside of event times with a trick

The ARMS Global Testpunch demo is mostly nonfunctional outside of active hours. Yet Reddit user NefariousSquid discovered one way that you can continue playing the “Warm-Up” practice mode even when the servers are down.

Assuming you already have save data where you’ve progressed past the tutorial, simply follow these steps:

1. On your Nintendo Switch, go to System Settings -> Internet -> Internet Settings -> [your network] -> Change Settings.
2. Enable proxy settings, and change the server address to 1.1.1.1 (or some other fake address).
3. Save, then open the ARMS Global Testpunch.
4. Select Party Match, select a character, then go to Warm-Up.

After 2 minutes and 30 seconds, you’ll receive an error message. It’s fine though, since you can just go right back in and continue practicing.
