The most significant shift for competitive players involves the return of secondary pickups in classic arena modes. This change immediately impacts the meta, restoring the layer of map control and resource management that high-level play relies on. If you felt the tactical depth was lacking in recent matches, this update brings that strategic tension back to the forefront.
Technical polish is the other major focus here. 1047 Games has addressed a frustrating interaction where sliding would unqueue if you activated your jetpack. For players who rely on fluid movement to outmaneuver opponents through portals, this fix restores the high-speed momentum that defines the game's skill gap. Additionally, the Orion Plasma Rifle now features controller vibration, providing better tactile feedback during intense firefights.
For those looking to customize their experience, the update introduces crosshair editing for fists—a niche but welcome addition—and expands the Races mode with new tracks for several maps. Leaderboards have also been overhauled to fix display issues with names and ordering, ensuring your rank is actually reflected accurately to the community.
As a gesture for some recent cosmetic bugs involving unfinished skins, players can now claim a free Shimmer Tempo skin. Use the code RPMPRW1 in-game to unlock it. It’s a solid peace offering while the team continues to iron out the visual kinks in the latest gear sets.
