Crystal Dynamics has hammered out the Marvel’s Avengers update 1.000.043 for both last-gen and next-gen platforms, and this is for update version 2.5, and brings The Mighty Thor Jane Foster into the game! Read on for the Marvel’s Avengers Update 2.5 patch notes.
Marvel’s Avengers Update 1.000.043 Patch Notes | Marvel’s Avengers Update 2.5 Patch Notes:
Patch v2.5 is hefty… or perhaps you could say, Mighty? Today’s update brings Jane Foster, the Mighty Thor to Marvel’s Avengers , along with several fixes and improvements.
New Features
New Hero: Jane Foster, the Mighty Thor!
Hero Challenge Card
Unique Mission Chain
Outfits, Takedowns, Emotes, & Nameplates
Reassemble Campaign & Avengers Initiative
Nothing lasts forever… Heroes no longer inherit traversal abilities from other Heroes when swapping them out during Heroic Gauntlets. Any characters that currently have traversal issues will be fixed in this Patch, and it will no longer happen to new Heroes in your roster.
Non-flying enemies no longer spawn in midair in the mission “This Hostile Earth.”
The camera no longer gets stuck if players reset a Custom HARM room while in a Gravity Trap.
Fixed an issue in certain Drop Zones preventing players from healing Inhuman NPCs.
Kate’s Decoy no longer remains active forever if it was active when a Vault’s Sequence Objective’s EMP blast was fired.
In the mission “My Life as a Weapon,” enemies now spawn correctly when players skip the rooftop BBQ cinematic.
In the final Klaw fight, Klaw’s attacks no longer throw players out of the world.
Temple enemies in the Klaw Raid now despawn properly at the end of the encounter.
Klaw’s gun slam ability no longer pushes Ms. Marvel out of the world.
Ensured the health bar shows up for Abomination at the end of the mission “Heart of the Monster” after players reload checkpoint.
We fixed a rare occurrence of Corrupted Vibranium spires not emerging.
The Cargo Runner Synthoid’s loot can now be picked up even if you leave the area and return later. (Previously, players who defeated the synthoid but didn’t pick up its loot, left the area, and returned later were not able to collect their sweet, sweet gear.)
Some players experienced an issue where MODOK’s Codex file would not unlock upon defeating him in the Reassembled campaign, but we’ve fixed the issue, so now the Codex file will always unlock at the appropriate time. Any players who’ve beaten MODOK but not received his Codex file will receive it retroactively.
Thor can no longer activate the Bifrost indefinitely when reloading checkpoints or returning to the Quinjet. (He’s worthy, but he’s not THAT worthy!)
Corrected an issue that erroneously granted extra Faction reputation to players, potentially allowing the Faction Level 50 cap to be bypassed. Players who bypassed the Faction Level 50 cap will have their progress reset to Level 50.
Multiplayer & Matchmaking
Activating the Hulkbuster just before the Klaw boss fight begins no longer leaves the mission in an incompletable state.
Art & Animation
Flying sound effects are no longer missing from the following Thor Outfits:
Marvel Studios’ The Avengers Marvel Studios’ Thor: Ragnarok Marvel Studios’ Thor Marvel Studios’ Thor: The Dark World Marvel Studios’ Thor: Infinity War Marvel Studios’ Avengers: Endgame Cosmic Herald
The sonic debuff effect no longer displays on players in the Klaw Raid who are “down but not out.”
A section of the Wasteland Vault terrain has been updated so that players no longer fall out of the world.
User Interface
Added subtitles for Nick Fury’s lines after the HARM tutorial.
UI elements no longer overlap in the Faction Vendor menus.
The word “Matchmaking” in the Companion menu now localizes correctly for different regions.
Nick Fury’s dialogue subtitles during the intro scene are no longer cut off by the War Table.
Updated subtitles for Black Widow’s dialogue during the finale for accuracy.
Updated text in Red Room Event Mission Chain objectives list. It used to list “Complete Red Room Mission Chains” as an objective when it should have listed “Complete Red Room Challenge Levels.” The mission chain now lists the correct text.
Gear, Challenges, & Rewards
Fixed an issue with Tachyon gear that allowed 2 of the exact same status effect perk to drop-in slot 1 and 2 for melee gear
Perks found on standard gear and Minor Artifacts that are melee focused (Melee boon as an example) have had their ceiling raised by 5-10% based on the bonus. Stun and critical chance are on the higher end while damage and critical damage are on the lower end. This will mean the possible potential of these perks is higher. The quality of the gear will have a larger impact on how close to the perks’ ceiling you will get.
Known Issues
The Rooskaya Protocol minor mission chains are intended to award gear to specific heroes (for example, Protocol: Vault should reward gear for Thor), but currently mission chains are awarding gear to the Hero you complete the mission as instead of the chain’s specific Hero. This is not intended and will be updated in the future.
Outside of today’s patch, Crystal Dynamics has also shared what’s coming in the future of Marvel’s Avengers! Here’s what the studio had to say about the future of Marvel’s Avengers:
THE FUTURE
Following the addition of The Mighty Thor in patch 2.5, we’ll be adding to the game’s story with two new challenges as part of an ambition to advance our narrative through hero and villain-centric content. The first is a villain-focused Warzone that will reveal M.O.D.O.K.’s fate after the defeat of his Kree Sentinel.
The Warzone will lead our heroes to AIM’s Cloning Lab, a new Omega Level Threat where your high-level strike team will challenge and defeat a revitalized M.O.D.O.K in a new multiplayer villain fight. Cloning Labs will be new end-game content that rewards conquering heroes with high power level gear from brand-new exotic gear sets. You can read more in our recent June Development Update
Once new developments regarding the new Omega Level Threat and other stuff are revealed, we’ll be sure to let our readers know.
