In the upcoming patch of the popular game "ARMS," there will be fresh updates namely a new map and achievement badges for each character.

The trailer for the much-anticipated version 3.2 of the Nintendo Switch game showcased some of the major characters including Spring Man, Twintelle, Min Min, Lola Pop, Ribbon Girl, Max Brass, Mechanica, and Ninjara. The characters appear to be fighting in a new map which is the Sparring Ring. Twintelle can be seen doing her signature moves using her Thunderbird attachments. Mechanica, as well, fights her opponents as she hovers with her Revolver ARMS and attacks. The Sparring Ring will be a welcome arena for players that will make gameplay more exciting.

A new fighter seems to be included in the trailer who looks similar to Spring Man. Users on a Reddit post speculate that it may just be Spring Man with a new skin. However, some believe that he could be an entirely new character whose home stage is the Sparring Ring. This means that he would have a new selection of ARMS. It remains to be seen who this mysterious character is and what he is called. Most Reddit posters speculate that he is called "Sparring Man."

Another feature in the 3.2 patch is the introduction of new badges for each of the characters. In addition to that, fighters will also receive credits for accomplishing certain objectives including winning a set number of fights and completing the arcade mode. Varying amount of credits will earn fighters certain badges. From the trailer, there are a lot of badges to choose from to add to a fighter's collection.

The 3.2 update with the many new features will be available for free to everyone who has the ARMS game on their Nintendo Switch within this month of October.
