The 2.1.0 patch brings with it some new limited time modes and items, a player profile with stats, and some quality of life updates as well.

Battle across the Ruined City, a long-lost ancient temple that provides plenty of fast paced action. Keep your eye in the sky for great views of a few familiar Crater locales.

During the All Crater’s Eve event, limited time items will be making an appearance as well; the Pumpkin Bomb and the Spiderweb Magnet. Be sure to drop in and enjoy the festivities and new content taking place in the Rocket Championship Tour!

Players can now view their gameplay stats in the Front End UI by selecting their player portrait or tabbing to the Profile menu in the Friends/Party screen. There are a lot of interesting stats added including; Total Games Completed, Total Damage Dealt, Highest KO Streak, Total Knockouts, and more.
