Known Issue - Getting Stuck on the Bot during Tutorial

When the Bot drops into the Tutorial arena, you may find yourself stuck on the bot. If you roll (Left Trigger on Controller, Shift on Keyboard and Mouse), you should be able to get unstuck. Jumping (A on Controller, Space on Keyboard and Mouse) repeatedly can also get you unstuck.

If you remain stuck after those workarounds, please write into us at support@doublefine.com and we will take a closer look. We apologize for the inconvenience and hope to have a fix soon!
