Patch Notes 10/02/2020
Hello, Metal Gladiators,

The update released today brings the new Teammate Finder feature.

Now it's WAY easier to find someone to form a team!

We are aware that it is not so simple to assemble a team, but now YOUR PROBLEMS ARE OVER! Hehehe, jokes aside, we created a tool that will greatly facilitate the "match" between players and teams: the Teammate Finder, or as we call it internally, the "Teamder" (got the reference?).

Teamder will help you find other players to complete your team or form a new team. You can also use Teamder to join other teams already created and even find someone to play with, with no obligation to create a team.

Come with me and learn how to use it:
1) Teamder can be accessed from two points:






2) Then you just have to create your profile. Tell us your preferred role, which server you play on, what languages you speak, and most importantly: your email and Discord, for contact. Why is this so important? Because then players will be able to contact you! So put the email you use the most, to make it easier!



3) On the next page you will add what you are looking for: it works as an ad, so in the “Display title” create a title that says exactly what you are looking for. Example:

In the "Description" field, describe with more details what you are looking for, you can talk about what time you prefer to play, if you are a beginner or veteran, or if your team needs one or more players ... And then select which roles you are looking for (there is also the option “Any/Not Sure”).



4) Confirm your profile.



5) Done! Your profile is now published, and available for other teams and players to find you.
6) But the fun doesn't stop there! After your profile is completed, Teamder will show you a list of players who are also looking for someone and who matches your profile. As this list changes every day, don't forget to always access Teamder to see your matches. On this screen, you’ll see profiles recommended to you, according to what you are looking for. If you don't have any recommended profiles, you can change the listing to see all the published profiles. Click on those profiles that interest you, and contact the player by the email or Discord provided.




The PlayerTag (that little number that identifies your account, you know?) will also appear in the list and on the player’s profile.


Then you can copy the number (without the hashtag) and paste it into the field of adding friends within the game! ;)



Important! At any time you can edit or disable your profile. You can also reactivate it at any time, no problem. Just click on “Edit” and make the adjustments, or click on “Disable profile” when you are in the editing screen.



Cool, right?
Don't forget to always access Teamder to see if there are any new matches, and check your email and Discord to answer the players who contact you.

Patch Notes 23/01/2020
Hello, Metal Gladiators

A new update has been released today with some changes in the matchmaking settings in the Ranked Mode.

Version: 7.00.1483

Ranked Mode


The matchmaking settings have been updated to balance the experience of new users and veterans.

  1. Matchmaking Range Lowered
    We’ve reduced the Matchmaking range, aiming for more balanced matches and a better experience for new players and veteran players.

  2. Ranked Mode Minimum Requirements Increased
    In response to the community feedback, we’ve decided to increase the minimum requirement to play the Ranked mode from 5 to 10 matches. This way, we will improve the gameplay quality of the new players in the queue.

  3. Ranked Mode Duo Queue Removed
    We’ve temporarily removed the possibility of playing Duo on the Ranked Mode. The main reason is to simplify the ranked queue and create a more balanced environment for our matchmaking system.

We are promoting those changes to have a better Ranked Mode and, with the growth of our player base, more changes will be needed with time. The community team is available in our official Discord to help the players and to answer questions about it, and we expect the community can keep giving us their feedback about all our improvements.

Note from the Developers


After Photon’s machine balance, we analyzed the community feedback and our data again to decide which machines would receive a new balance round. In the first moment, we selected Vulture and Full Metal Judge, and then performed a few tweaks to Vulture to reduce his total power and the ability to hunt down enemies easily. For Judge, the changes were smaller, but very effective, and brought the machine to a competitive level. We’ve also added Artificer to the balance list because we also noted that we had the community feedback and the data to evidence the need for changes. We’ll continuously check our data and monitor the machine performance, and we might add a few more changes to Vulture and Artificer in the future.

Friends System


  • An “Add Friend” button has been added to the list of recent players, making it easier to add new friends.
  • Some interface texts were adjusted.
  • Fixed a bug with the PlayerTag displayed in the match ending screen for AFK players.
  • Fixed a bug with the behavior of the Friend List’s tooltip while browsing friends options.

Metal League


  • The texts under the Metal League section were updated with the details for the new season that’ll take place starting from January 11th.
