Player Impact
Players get a new limited-time mode and event track tied to Avengers: Endgame, plus a few ways to earn rewards through play and in-world activities. The practical effect is mostly content access and reward chasing rather than a broad gameplay overhaul.
The gameplay-facing fixes are narrower but still relevant: they address hero input/visual issues, a Competitive achievement tracking bug, and several audio or presentation problems. Players using Black Cat, Black Widow, Hawkeye, The Punisher, Psylocke, Doctor Strange, Blade, or Thor may notice the specific issues listed above are resolved.
