Hey Cadets, This is the Beat the Machine: Rebooted - Skill Tree Refinement Patch 1.25 It’s been a while since our last update and this is going to be one of our longest patch notes to date. A lot of stuff will be changing, but in addition to all of the changes, our long awaited GAUNTLET mode, is now available for play. The main focus on the skill tree refinement was to make skills stand out more and allow for more creative paths throughout gameplay of BTMR.
