Description

[edit]

Time Scale, sometimes referred to as Timescale and Time-scale, is a feature that allows for game matches to be slowed down and sped up. Time Scale is only available in solo matches for supported modes.

There are five modes available, the first is 0x, which pauses the match entirely, preventing anything from moving, which can be useful to allow more time to react to something. Next is 0.5x, which slows down time by half, which also gives more time to react to something, while not stopping the game completely. The third is 1x, which is set by default. This is the default speed at which the game runs. Fourth is 1.5x, which makes the match faster by 50%, allowing matches to take less time to complete. The final mode is 2x, which makes the match twice as fast, making matches even faster. Background music is not affected by Time Scale.

In Sandbox Mode, it is possible for players with the Sandbox Plus+ gamepass to manually set the time scale to custom values, including beyond 2x.

Tickets

[edit]

Time Scale Ticket Time Scale Tickets are a currency used to activate the Time Scale. They take the appearance of a green ticket with a white arrow pointing to the right. These tickets can be gained from triumphs, Login Rewards, the Spin Wheel, and VIP+, or they can be bought directly for Robux 29.
