Hello, Metal Gladiators
A new patch is live, bringing a total of 16 gameplay bug fixes, including some significant issues that were reported by the community.
Bugs Fixed
- Fixed a bug where Black Lotus incorrectly accelerated forward when combining reflected damage from weapon 2 and using weapon 3 (also known as Super Dash for some community members).
- Fixed a bug where Black Lotus’ weapon 2 reflected the damage from enemies but canceled its own out of combat self-repair.
- Fixed a bug where Black Lotus’ weapon 2 did not cancel the self-repair from enemies.
- Fixed a bug where Black Lotus' weapon 2 made enemies start their out of combat self-repair earlier than expected.
- Fixed a bug where Wildfire’s passive was activated even when hitting a barrier (i.e., Rampage’s passive).
- Fixed a bug where Wildfire’s weapon 1 was triggering its impact and area damage at different times.
- Fixed a bug where Wildfire’s weapon 2 explosion wasn’t being blocked by barriers (i.e., Rampage’s passive and Icebringer’s weapon 2).
- Fixed a bug where Wildfire’s weapon 3 didn’t activate the trail animation.
- Fixed a bug where Icebringer could not be pushed while using the weapon 3.
- Fixed a rare bug where Clunker’s weapon 2 dealt damage but didn’t pull the enemy.
- Fixed a bug where Clunker’s weapon 2 sometimes crossed walls, improperly dealing damage and/or grabbing enemies on its way back.
- Fixed a bug where VFX from different characters were improperly activated during matches, getting stuck at the arena or even on the machines.
- Fixed a bug where it was possible to rebuild the machine inside the stones at the center of Metal God Arena.
- Fixed a bug on the Temple of Sacrifice arena, where a collider at the delivery point was improperly positioned.
- Fixed a bug where exiting a match on the last point, while the victory/defeat animation is running caused the client to crash.
