Gotta give it to Crystal Dynamics, even after the disastrous launch of Marvel’s Avengers, they are still supporting the game with new content a year later. Update v1.8.2 was released for every platform recently. The update brought new content, mission changes, new features, and bug fixes.
The previously announced, Omega-Level Threat: Family Reunion is here. To play the mission you will need a full four-player team with 145+ Power Level. The recommended Power Level is 150 though. Completing these missions will reward players with the highest-end gear. However, you can only get these rewards once per week.
The update has removed low-level Priority missions. The Power Level of high-level Priority missions has been increased to 140. You can get cool exotic rewards every week by completing these high-level missions.
Many players loved the temporary feature which allowed them to play as the same Heroes. Now, thanks to popular demand, that feature is back and it’s permanent. You can now complete Omega-Level Threat: Family Reunion, Mega Hives, or any other missions with the same heroes. I just wanna see four Hulks run on Family Reunion.
The update also added the ability to play Mega Hives in multiplayer. As usual, you can expect cool rewards for completing them.
We have highlighted some other important changes below:
Reassemble Campaign and Avengers Initiative
- To Tame A Titan (Elite) is now visible on the War Table when the Reigning Supreme mission chain requires it to move forward.
- The lives counter in Mega Hives is removed. It has been replaced by the ability to use all your Heroes who are at the appropriate level.
- In Abomination and Taskmaster Villain Sectors, the Adept Adaptoid no longer spawns in the ceiling, which previously made it difficult to reach.
- Enemies now spawn correctly in Last Avenger Standing and Forest Hive.
- In Beating the Odds, localized voice-over no longer plays at the same time as English voice-over.
- Fixed an issue in Mega Hives where a defeated Hero would remain defeated and unusable even after starting the Mega Hive from the beginning.
- After a Hero is defeated in Mega Hives, the menu to choose another Hero no longer abruptly appears. There is a short pause between.
The complete patch notes are available on the official site.
