ARMS for the Nintendo Switch has just been updated to version 5.2, which brings new modes and a variety of fixes to the Switch fighting game. The latest update adds a new mode called Party Crash Mode – which can be selected in regular battles but not online battles. The 5.2 update fixes a variety of issues with fighters with super armor. The update also fixes a weird glitch where a noise would repeatedly play even after losing communication while Dr. Coyle has extra ARMS out. A list of fighters and ARMS that are adjusted with the latest update are listed below.
