Fixes

All Platforms

Maps and Modes
  • Squashed a bug in Competitive where an occasional map glitch incorrectly displayed checkpoint gate statuses.
  • Reined in some mischief in the final part of the Empire of Eternal Night: Midtown map, where Loki’s illusions could be placed in unexpected locations.  
  • Fixed an issue in Giant-Size Brain Blast where destroying enemy summons would also count toward enlarging heroes’ heads.  
Heroes
  • Stealth Special Breaker: We’ve sliced through a glitch where if Wolverine responds to a Fastball Special request while within Invisible Woman’s ultimate, it would sometimes result in abnormal invisibility effects.
  • An Unexpected Thing: We’ve rocked out a fix for an issue that allowed The Thing’s Embattled Leap to target teammates within an enemy Invisible Woman’s ultimate. Now, he’ll be as clueless as he should be.
  • Cloak & Dagger’s Shield Shenanigans: We’ve zapped a bug where their ultimate would sneakily still do damage to foes protected by Magneto’s Iron Bulwark or Hulk’s Indestructible Guard — talk about an unexpected plot twist!
  • Wolverine’s Aerial Annihilator: Fixed a flaw in the second stage of his ultimate, where midair knockbacks lost their bite and dealt no damage. Now, when Wolverine soars into the fray, every strike is felt with the raw power of a true berserker!
  • Star-Lord’s Rocket Revamp: Eliminated an occasional speed decay glitch in his Rocket Propulsion ability, impacting his smooth movement. Now, every blast-off is as snappy and daring as a mixtape drop from the Milano!
  • Mister Fantastic’s Fantastic Flex Fix: We’ve untangled an issue in his Flexible Elongation ability where hitting targets inside portals caused unexpected displacement. Now, when Mister Fantastic bends the limits of physics, his moves are as smart and precise as his genius!
  • Ascender’s Altitude Assurance: Fixed a network instability-related bug that could sometimes abruptly yank wall-climbing heroes back to the ground after reaching the highest point. Now, every climb is as steady and heroic as your soaring ambitions!
