Coach a Fighter Guides

Training, matches, gym upgrades, and league progression —written for Early Beta.

Guides Hub

Coach a Fighter by LockLoaded puts you in the coach chair, not the ring. You manage a Roblox gym, train fighters across five core stats, schedule matches against NPCs or other players’ fighters, and climb league ladders while betting Cash on outcomes. The game is in Early Beta (place 111517697993641), so numbers and UI labels can change patch to patch —these guides describe verified community flow as of the current build.

Use this hub as a reading order. New players should start with Getting started, redeem codes from the Codes hub, then branch into training and economy guides once the tutorial clears.

Core gameplay loop

Every session follows the same rhythm:

  1. Train fighters on gym equipment (treadmill, bench press, pull-up bar, punching bag).
  2. Enter matches —you watch automated fights; preparation beats button mashing.
  3. Collect winnings and reinvest in gym upgrades or smarter bets.
  4. Advance leagues by meeting rank requirements with a roster of 250+ possible fighter cards.

You never direct individual punches. Success comes from stat planning, equipment tier, match selection, and roster rarity —topics covered in the articles below.

Equipment priority, Cash budgeting after code redemptions, and why better machines multiply every future training hour.

How to climb leagues

League structure, promotion requirements, roster depth for multi-fight weeks, and when to bench under-trained cards.

Early Beta disclaimer

LockLoaded can rebalance stats, code rewards, and league gates without notice. If a guide step no longer matches your UI, check Updates first, then compare fighter data on Rarities and Best fighters for post-patch notes.
