Crystal Dynamics is rolling out Marvel’s Avengers update 2.4 with a major rework to how the game dishes out mission rewards. The free patch will be available to download on all systems including PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
Following their last major content drop – which including Spider-Man as a playable character and the first ever Raid – the team have been busy improving the core game experience.
It’s no secret that players have struggled to get their head around what to do once they’ve wrapped the campaign. Following a recent Marvel’s Avengers update, the War Table has been reworked, Crystal now turning its attention to mission rewards and limited-time events.
Like any loot-focused RPG, getting your hands on the best in-game gear is your number one objective in Marvel’s Avengers. Not only does it allow you to experiment with different playstyles, it also opens the door to endgame content. With update 2.4, the developers have previously said they want “to make each event more unique and worth playing” and add “higher power level gear rewards to meta objectives to create another path to gear-up beyond the soft-cap on drops for non-Raid/Omega-Level Threat content”. Click below for the changes making their way into today’s patch.
Marvel's Avengers update 2.4 reward changes
With this rework, there are now three mission chain types to complete during our limited-time events like Tachyon Anomaly or Corrupted Vibranium. These two-week sprints will provide rewards for daily play and sustained play. The three mission chain types include:
- Meta Mission Chains: Completing all tasks in a Meta Mission Chain will offer up the best rewards during our limited-time events. By completing the full list of Daily and Minor Mission Chains, you’ll earn Exotics above Power Level 120 for your entire roster. Even better, these Superior Exotics will drop at a 140+ Power Level. Previously 140+ Power Level items could only be earned by endgame players who completed the Family Reunion Omega Level Threat or the Discordant Sound Raid.
- Minor Mission Chains:Â These mission chains are sometimes Hero-specific and offer another way to increase your Power Level on a per-Hero basis.
- Daily Mission Chains:Â Daily missions feed into the larger Meta Mission Chain objective and will offer repeatable gear rewards for the entirety of the two-week event.
