Posted on March 6, 2018 by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch

Last night, Nintendo teased that a new update would be distributed for ARMS today. Version 5.2.0 is now live for all players.

Today’s update adds in a few new things. The primary highlights include the ability to use “Big Time ARMS” from the Party Crash mode in regular battle, as well as the addition of new Gallery images.

The full patch notes are as follows:

• The Party Crash mode “Big Time ARMS” can now be selected in regular battle as well, so you can try something a little different. Feel free to use it as a handicap!
  • Prior to battle, when selecting ARMS, you can toggle this on and off with the Y button.
  • This feature can be used in Versus – Fight.
  • Can’t be used in online battles.
• Added 15 new images to Gallery.
• Fixed issue where fighters with super armor would not have their ARMS disabled by electric attacks during a rush attack.
• Fixed issue where a noise would repeatedly play if communication was lost while Dr. Coyle had her extra ARMS out.
• Adjusted abilities of some fighters and ARMS as follows.
  

  Fighters / Arms	Adjustments
  Springtron	Specs improved thanks to a certain girl genius! Movement during a super charge has been greatly increased. He’s a little heavier now, but that’s fine! Movement speed for normal jumps has decreased.
  Lola Pop	Increased movement speed when jumping.
  Misango	Rush gauge now fills at a rate equal to other fighters during normal times. Also made it somewhat less difficult for the rush gauge to fill when blue or red.

  Nade	Fixed issue where self-destruct could occur during rush.
  Bubb	Increased charge attack speed.
