General Rules

• The characters from the weekly rotation will also apply to the Training mode. For players who already purchased other characters, they’ll also be available.
  
• All matches are played in the Metal God arena.
  
• Training matches don’t reward XP or Fame.
  
• Training matches won’t appear on the match history.
  
• Training matches can’t be played while in a group.
  
• Leaving a training match before it ends won’t apply any penalty to the account.
  
• Closing the game client for any reason during a training match will end it immediately.

• The A.I. has been improved, and bots are now less likely to drive over droppers.

• Fixed a bug that made the chat appear when pressing Alt+Enter to enter Fullscreen or Windowed mode.
  
• Fixed a bug that made the character or skin model selection change while pressing some keys when the game was not focused (a.k.a while you are Alt-tabbin')
  
• Fixed a bug that made the screen randomly flash during a match.
  
• Fixed some visual issues at the acid in the Temple of Sacrifice and some rocks in Metal God Arena.
  
• Fixed a bug that allowed players to open the emote’s radial menu while the match is loading.
  
• Fixed an interface bug that kept the cooldown cursor appearing while using a gamepad.
  
• Fixed a bug that was preventing the skin models’ names appear in the purchase confirmation window.
