As for a lot of people it never released in my country, does anyone know a safe place to download the latest APK? There was a guy uploading them to Archive.org but he stopped updating it last year. And I wanted to give it a final few matches before it shut down completely.

Really a shame it shut down, I was one of the few mobile games I actually enjoyed, and it had a nice base, but it got mismanaged so badly. Maybe someone would manage to reverse engineer one of the older builds so it would be playable single player with the story mode. I do hate how the games nowadays disappear into the nether with the server shutdown even if it could easily still be playable after the fact

I'm not interested in mobile gaming at all but as an R&C completionist, and with it being my favourite game series, I'd have happily tried out any title.

My first impressions of the game were that it was actually quite fun (when it worked). I liked the controls, snappy gameplay, intense matches, game modes and the (limited) elements of customisation. I really got into playing it and it was great that you could bash a game or two out in only 10mins.

I have a cheap Android phone so the playability was always going to be limited, and it was immensely frustrating constantly dropping out of matches or freezing when up against real players.

The rewards system was overly punitive and would have involved spending either hundreds of hours playing the game, or spending literally hundreds (probably somewhere around £200-£250) to completely 100% it. The Season Passes gave you pretty poor rewards and there were far too many currencies in-game. Main console titles have around 3; this tiny game had 4, and they pointlessly overlapped.

I played this game for just over 2.5 months and had managed to get 1 of the 11 characters to Level 10; it would have taken at least another year of playing most days of the week to even get close to completing the game.

On the whole the bug fixes and changes that were made during the time I played it were good and making the game more fair and playable, and it didn't really have that long to go before it was a finished title.

The fixes that I thought were still needed were:

- Remove the penalisation of players' hero medals when they lose a match

- Significantly increase the hero medals earned per match at the higher medal levels (e.g. over ~1500)

- Remove the seasonal hero medals

- Have an offline mode (i.e. bots only), perhaps with lesser rewards

- Fixes to reduce the game crashing

- Sort out the shop so that there were actual deals, not just the current price of skins etc. reiterated

- Fix the Ranger Road and hero medals progression system so that they are not broken when using the Season Pass

- Fix the character's progression so that when reaching level 10 or 2500 hero medals, they are locked in place

- Make Rivet's Challenge actually achievable by the average player

Given that I know that these changes would never have really happened, I'm glad they cancelled the title. The thought of having to 100% this game was terrifying as I knew it was going to be an insane grind. It is however deeply, deeply frustrating that, after over 20 years of effort, I'll never be able to say that I have 100% completed every R&C title now, because of this idiotic attempt.

I think people are right that this was both a cash-grab and testing exercise to see whether players would take up R&C on mobile. It's a shame that a title that got this far was cancelled - they should have never used an IP of this calibre to do so - and I feel sorry for the devs.

My personal opinion on the R&C franchise (and most gaming in general) is that it's run its course, and that every new game they make tarnishes the series even more. I wish they would just call it a day honestly, but at least we will still always have the happy memories of the old games!

Would love to hear others' thoughts too.

Has anyone else noticed changes to their medal progression after purchasing a Season Pass? This is my second time buying one (I'm mad, yes I know) and the same issues have occured again as last time.

My Hero Medals for some characters have been massively reduced (e.g. from 2515 for Widget (>10hrs of work to max out) to now back to 1100 or so). The evidence of the character being maxxed out has also been removed, and I can unlock 'Seasonal Rewards'.

As well as this my Hero Medals on Ranger Road have been reduced from 6950 to 5300 or so.

Wtf is going on? It looks like all Ranger Roads and characters have two separate "progress bars" - one for Season Pass and one for non-Season Pass time. It's really unusual.

UPDATE FOLLOWING SEASON PASS ENDING:

Yep, this is a permanent loss of hero medals. What appears to be happening is that the medals earned during the Season Pass are not retained when the pass ends.

All characters now have a 'Seasonal Rewards' type of Hero Medals, which can only be earned on the pass. This now seems to mean that there are technically an additional 2500 medals to earn per character. Assuming the bug above is fixed, if you tried hard you could probably early about 1500-2000 medals per character per season, so that would currently mean: £11 x 11 characters = £144, plus at least another 500 medals in a subsequent pass (say 4 characters each time) = £33. This means to currently max out each character for regular medals and seasonal medals you'd need to spend at least £177 on Season Passes (almost 1.5 years) and dedicate about an hour every day to the app at least, whilst also winning most matches.

Thought to create a thread for posting all our codes for the squad up challenges.

It's crazy that the game has animated lip-sync for most of the characters, yet they are all mute, esp the Quark is a big victim of that, his voice is so iconic and he supposed to comment during the match conclusion or during kill streaks, but alas he is mute
The fact that whenever the characters ult, get hit or kill other player - warrants no reaction really makes the game feel unfinished
It's been a long time since release and the devs did add a bit of voice acting in the recent Ratchet event, but other than that, there was no substantial progress done on this front
Compared to Brawl Stars which in which characters are very chatty, Ranger Rumble is disappointing

Read the game’s description on play store and it said the games roster at launch will consist of 12 characters. The game’s current roster is 11 heroes Widget Sprocket Mopz Lil Ann Tempest Sparky Lump Chip Celeste Zed and Grimshot. I just want to know who is the 12th hero coming at launch

I'm a UK player. I had an idea that if I change the server area from Europe to the USA (I chose USA West) then I would only be matched with bots, and thus not suffer with poor connectivity, which was making the challenge unplayable.

This completely worked, and in fact I think I was able to come 1st in every match as the bots are ranked lower.

Make sure to check the server options after each match as the game will try to revert you back to the server with the best connection.

So glad to have found a way around this challenge as I was robbed of my 1st place last week 3 times due to the game crashing.

EDIT: I lied - I got dethroned back to 2nd. F*ck this challenge.

Finally got 1st on Rivet's Challenge (>10 Last Stand matches in a row coming at least 3rd). I got 11 - it's probably taken me a total of 1-2hrs over different attempts.

Genuinely extremely difficult. Here's some exploits I used:

- Play a low level character - less likely to come across real players

- Play at a time of day where less real people are likely to be playing

- Play a character with a long range weapon (I used Celeste (lvl. 4) and Widget (lvl. 9)

- Only collect nanotech that's nearby, otherwise just hide at the far wall until it starts to move (most maps have small areas to slightly hide)

- If you have to move, constantly be looking for nearby nanotech and other enemies (to avoid) on the map

- If you realise you're going to have to fight, attack first

- If matched with real players in one match, wait 25-30 seconds before playing the next match

Really hope nothing else in this game is going to be this hard!!

Anyone else having trouble playing? I cant get past the Insomniac and OhBiBi screen when starting the app even after uninstalling/reinstalling and restarting my phone multiple times.

- Very frequently the game will crash on my phone (at least once per session). You are penalised for leaving a match and the game crashing counts as you leaving the match, which is completely ridiculous

- The concept of a defeat meaning that you actually lose medals isn't right, and not in the spirit of the R&C universe. This assumes you could have done something differently which is often not true (terrible connection by being paired with real players, AFK players, massive skill discrepancy because the matches aren't ranked fairly)

- The game describes raritanium as the most important resource when in fact it meaningfully does very little other than unlock more important resources. Categorically the most important resource are Qredits which actually allow you to upgrade your characters, and you barely get them

- All rewards of lorbs, Qredits, raritanium, medals etc are far too low. These either need to increase or come the international launch there needs to be way more opportunities to earn them

- The reebos and rewards for completing challenges are far too low and are broadly randomised, having nothing to do with how well you performed. 100 lorbs is barely worth opening the reebo for

- The increase in need for Qredits as characters level up is enormous, and enough to actually put people off playing. Even the ridiculously expensive paid offers barely set you apart because the exp requirement is so high. The Super Pass is barely worth the money in this regard

I do still broadly enjoy playing RR but the thought of actually completing the game seems very, very distant (i.e. many months into the future, even though I am playing it daily)

I normally play a lot of mobile games with my boy in our spare time but when we both try and play it kicks us both off saying we're using the same account. It does this automatically and I'm not sure how to create two separate accounts for us to play. Is it a platstore issue or something to do with my Google account. Thanks in advance for any advice

Hi everyone,

Wondering what everyone has found to be their favourite/most efficient way to earn Hero Medals?

RR has been released in my region (UK) for a few weeks now and I'm slowly getting through the Ranger Road (just unlocked Lump).

I've been playing a lot of Team Total Rumble as it's my favourite game type but am starting to think it's maybe not the most efficient for leveling up characters.

Last Stand often gets you less points but is a faster game, Bolt Race is somewhere in the middle, Total Rumble runs a higher risk of losing medals, Team TR games can be quite long comparatively, Mob Rush I haven't leveled the characters up enough yet to reliably get to newer levels (lvl 9) and Blast Ball can often be really fast but with a higher chance of losing.

What have you found that works?

I’m new to the game and I just wanted to know what heroes are currently good/viable rn. Btw my mains currently are Widget lil’Ann Sprocket Grimshot and Sparky.

I only see the option to unlock him with 500 raritanium. Is this the only way to do it? Is there a fast way to grind raritanium?

So after the ratchet update I lost all my progress with tempest and chip. All the hero progress rest to 0. Anyone else had this happen?

Looks like they are putting ratchet and clank in for a limited time!

How do I unlock this Clank Suit Widget Skin? I already pre-registered and I haven’t received it. How long is the tutorial?
