Marvel’s Avengers Patch Notes: Update 2.2
Here are the complete patch notes for the update coming out on all supported platforms:
NEW FEATURES
- Klaw Raid Discordant Sound – Teamwork, communication, tactics—you’ll want to assemble your best four-player squad for this one. Following the events of the War for Wakanda Expansion, the sonic monster Klaw has returned to the Vibranium Mound with a seething determination to destroy Wakanda. This is where you finish him off for good and claim the highest-end gear—but he’s so not going down without a fight. For more information on the Raid, including gear and rewards, click HERE.
- Power-Level Increase – The maximum Power Level achievable has increased from 150 to 175. Want the best gear? Then you’ll have to complete the game’s toughest challenge. The new four-player Klaw Raid: Discordant Sound is waiting for you.
- Gear Upgrade Rework – Players can infuse gear with other pieces to increase its Power Level. This way, the gear you like can now be carried along your journey! For more information on how this works, click HERE. Only gear that is above Power Level 100 and of Epic rarity or higher can be upgraded. Using higher Power Level gear to infuse will offer greater stats than lower Power Level.
- Resources Rework – The only resources needed to upgrade gear and Minor Artifacts are Fragments and Upgrade Modules. Major Artifacts now require a mix of Fragments and Polychoron. Also, the Resources cap has been raised! For more information, click HERE.
- Gear Perks Rework – Gear Perks have gone through some changes to allow each Hero to be more themed in what they can achieve in combat. We have also added Status effects to gear for Heroes who are currently missing them. All of them. Every single one. For more information, click HERE. Specific Perk reworks are also in the Gear section below.
- Per-Hero Weekly Objectives – Every Hero can now get an Exotic from the weekly mission chain in Omega-Level Threat: Family Reunion and Raid: Discordant Sound instead of just once per account.
- Omega-Gear Rewards – Every completion of Omega-Level Threat: Family Reunion and Raid: Discordant Sound grants a piece of Exotic gear. The weekly mission chain grants Exotic gear that can upgrade your Power Level while additional completions grant Exotics at the Hero’s same Power Level.
- Shipments – We’ve heard your requests for a path to earn coveted Cosmetics, resources, and other items via gameplay, as well as a place to use your plentiful Units. Enter the Shipments feature! Each Shipment costs 500 Units (the currency earned while playing the game) and pulls from a collection of possible items, but you can see what is in the current Shipment before you buy it with Units. There is a small chance of the Shipment containing a premium Outfit unavailable via any other means of acquisition. But luck isn’t required to get the Outfit—you’ll automatically receive it after claiming 100 Shipments. For more information, click HERE. Shipments are not available for the Japan region at this time.
- Cosmetic Vendor – Chastity McBride’s wares have been restocked and now include a Specialty Items section that allow for more player choice. Learn more HERE.
- Spider-Man for PS4 and PS5 – The iconic web slinger Spider-Man comes exclusively to PlayStation players along with the Spider-Man: With Great Power Hero Event! You’ll experience Spider-Man’s story through unlockable challenges woven throughout the Avengers Initiative. Complete with his own Skills, Heroics, traversal, and plenty of cosmetics, Spider-Man plays like no other Hero! For more on Spider-Man, click HERE.

- Tachyon Surge Perk – We heard your feedback regarding the change to this perk and wanted to share more information regarding it. The term “Status Damage” is intended to reference the amount of status build up that an attack would inflict when dealing damage to a target, not the actual amount of damage dealt. Shortly after the Tachyon Surge perk was released, we identified an issue where it was applying a 20-second buff that gave both a 50% bonus to status build up and 50% increased damage. This made it overpowered when compared to things like heroic buffs, skills, and other gear perks so we took steps to fix that error. To help alleviate some of this frustration, we are bringing back the damage buff, but reducing the overall buff duration to 10 seconds.

- Fixed the issue preventing Hawkeye’s Hivemind Sword with Plasma Split Shot Arrows from working.
- Removed the Sonic Status effect from being applied via some of Captain Americas Heroic and Intrinsic attacks. Sorry Cap mains.
- Challenge Card progress now correctly carries over between Xbox and Windows PC versions.
- The amount of Fragments players get when dismantling gear has been greatly increased. To account for this, Bronze Chests rewards have now been standardized: they will always only award 1 gear item or ISO-8 up to Epic Rarity. As an additional balancing measure, these Chests will now award 10 Units instead of the previous 1 to 3 Units.
- Bronze Strongboxes will no longer give out Fragments, as is the standard with all tiers of Strongboxes. Only Stockpile Chests will award Fragments.
- The Lethal Conduit perk (found on Discordant Gear) grants the Sonic Conduit buff to all nearby allies upon defeating an enemy with an active Vibranium Status effect. This perk is not working consistently right now, and we are investigating.
- Black Widow has dyed her hair brown for the Winter when wearing her Monatomic Outfit. Rest assured, she will be back to her neon red color soon.
- Gear dismantled in player’s Gear Locker still refund resources that are no longer used. This is a visual bug. The proper amount of Fragments and modules are still being dropped. We are working on a fix for this.
- There is another visual bug where gear in a player’s Gear Locker will show the old upgrade system. Any gear put into the Locker will show the old system and removing gear from the Locker will show the correct new upgrade system. We are investigating this.
- Any previously upgraded gear has a chance to drop old resources when dismantled. This is a visual bug, as you get proper Fragments, but old resources may show up in the resource feed. We are investigating a fix for this.
- In the Control Tower Traversal section of the Raid, a black sphere appears after Iron Man shoots a Klaw Company Bruiser with his Repulsors with the Muon Reverberator gear perk equipped. The Iron Man player is unable to see the black sphere appear. The black sphere eventually disappears after some time.
- The Marketplace preview image for the Spider-Man Emote “Aww Shucks” is incorrect, and currently shows the “Apple Toss” Emote instead. You will get the proper “Aww Shucks” Emote if you purchase.
- In the final phase of the battle against Klaw in Discordant Sound, whenever Klaw slams his cannon onto the main platform, several giant flying rocks appear, obstructing vision. This happens when Graphics Mode is set to Highest Quality. We advise using a different Graphics Mode for the time being.
- When dismissing the Gear Upgrade tutorial, if the Shipments Refreshed message is present before entering the Character Menu, the game becomes completely unresponsive to input. Restarting the game will fix this. This issue can be avoided by opening the Character Menu when the Shipments Refreshed menu appears.
- In the Japan region, the Rise and Shine mission erroneously references a Shipment Voucher reward. Shipments and Shipment Vouchers are not available in Japan at this time.
- Gear that is older than v.2.0.2 is currently unable to be transferred from the Inventory Locker to Character Menu/Inventory.
