New Rankings Feature is Also Part of the Version 2.0 ARMS Update that Arrives July 12th

Just in case in Max Brass, a stage and his favourite ARMS wasn’t enough, next week’s ARMS update will have even more for us to sink our teeth into!

Coming straight from the official Japanese Twitter for ARMS and an unofficial English one that does its best to translate the Japanese content, the ARMS league secretly keeps records on every fighter and as part of a Version 2.0 update that rolls out next week, those records will be going public as players will now be able to access them in-game.

[Ver.2]では「レコード」が追加されます！
アナタの戦いをARMS協会がコッソリ記録。よく使うアームや命中率、直近100試合の勝率など、お役立ち情報をお届けします！
レコード画面を撮影して、お近づきになりたい人と交換するのもいいでしょう。

As for what kind of things they keep a record on, well it will show things like your success rate from your last 100 fights, frequency of ARMS used and your hit rate. But Records might not be the only thing that arrives as there is even a few tweets dedicated to a Hedlok with one showing a Helix clone punching a mysterious ball and revealing a Hedlok mask like item that when punched, takes over the Helix Clone. Whether this is a new item in general or something that is available is yet to be seen as there is no information on that just yet. Just like there is no mention of it being a part of the Version 2.0 update, or a future one.

ARMSラボから告知です、しかもビデオつき！珍しいですね！
なになに…「前略。例のアレを、ファイター各位にも気軽にお試し頂けないか試験中。多数のご要望を頂き近日中に…」って、えぇー！
そんな要望聞いてねぇー誰だー！でもワタクシもちょっと試してみてぇー！ pic.twitter.com/aKpXfPHYG5

With regards to the other Hedlok focused tweet, it comes with a video that shows Helix in the lab that made him and behind him, is a test tube where Hedlok is being assembled and dialogue reads as being the experimental stage has begun, so fighters can now try it out for themselves as test subjects.

見つけちゃいました！ラボの暗がりの奥に…出たあ！
結局、コイツ何のために作られてたんでしょう？何にしてもラボには管理を徹底してもらわないと！

But since the Hedlok item is being shown off now, amongst everything else regarding the update, including more Max Brass stuff, there is still a good chance the item will also be introduced next week, including how it ties in and just as soon as the update and patch notes are out, we’ll be sure to let you know!
