Remote faction terminals have also been added to outposts. This allows players to collect all available faction assignments and villain sector bounties at one go, instead of having to visit each faction coordinator in person.

Several notable bug fixes to the reward system, matchmaking, UI and combat have also been implemented with the new patch. Mega Hives now drop two Exotic items guaranteed, as well as a group of Upgrade Materials. Players can also preview cosmetic items from vendors before purchases. Tactical Awareness vision pulse lasts longer and players can now skill challengers for Hero Challenge Cards.

Some of the game’s improved combat system includes the fixture of an issue that caused Iron Man’s Counterfire to not trigger after evading. Captain America’s melee combat has also been improved to flow better in combinations.
