The new sword mod redirects the left orbit shot to feed through a sword mechanism instead of directly to the right flipper
high confidence · Host explains: 'So normally, this left orbit would feed this and come back to the right flipper. Now, instead, whenever you hit this shot, it'll come down the sword and pop out there. A whole new level of gameplay.'

high confidence · Host states: 'they wanted to save money and offer two different SKUs.'

Magna Save on Black Knight: Sword of Rage is effective primarily for collecting super jackpots that accumulate during ramp shots
high confidence · Teets explains: 'I wait until I have at least 20 million in the super jackpot. I hit a ramp shot, and when it comes around, I just hit Magna Save. And the game thinks I did a Magna Save, and that's how you collect that super jackpot.'
“That's a big mod. It is a big mod. So normally, this left orbit would feed this and come back to the right flipper. Now, instead, whenever you hit this shot, it'll come down the sword and pop out there. A whole new level of gameplay.”
