Marvel Heroes Omega 1.08 Patch Notes

Posted on by

As I’ve previously reported today regarding the newest Spider-Man: Homecoming content coming to Marvel Heroes Omega and the recently revealed VIP Status, but today a new patch has been made available for the game, resulting in some changes to some of the heroes and bug fixes.

Here are the full patch notes:

J. Jonah Jameson has claimed to have uncovered the identity of Spider-Man, but he’s only teased his readers with this and hasn’t published yet. The various members of the Sinister Six see this as their chance to finally rid themselves of Spidey and they aren’t willing to wait for the next edition! They want this information NOW! (Of course if they can cause massive destruction along the way, that’s even better!)

Heroes must fight their way through several different floors of the Bugle and remove the villains from the premises by any means possible. The terminal culminates with a rooftop fight against a new villain, The Vulture!

Editor’s Note: J. Jonah Jameson’s sources of information may not be entirely reliable. The opinion’s expressed in said article belong to the author.

The Daily Bugle Terminal pits players against a random assortment of villains who have at various points in time been part of the Sinister Six!

New Location:

  • Operation: Daily Bugle (Level 11 minimum requirement to unlock)

New Missions:

Legendary:

  • Vulture’s Vengeance (Level 11 minimum requirement)

New Items:

Legendary:

Medallions:

  • Vulture rummaged through the trash heap and brought his own Medallion with him!
  • The Sinister Six have created a Unique Medallion that represents their membership since Otto’s calculations are a little off, and there’s clearly way more than six of them.

Artifacts:

  • Vulture, Green Goblin, Tombstone and Kraven have become jealous of the rest of the Sinister (can these guys even say) Six and brought Artifacts of their own with them!
  • Additionally, The Sinister (way more than) Six have stolen Spider-Man’s Webbed Wings! (Artifact)

Newspapers! Read all about it!

  • The Spider-Menace is headlining several Bugle Newspapers which can be found from any enemy in the Operation!

These StarkTech Research Credits can be put towards the StarkTech Research Project to unlock various new crafting rewards!
  • StarkTech Research Project – Once you have some StarkTech Research Credits, they can be used for the Researcher’s StarkTech Research Project, which can produce various results such as new StarkTech Upgrade recipes, random crafter XP consumables, and other Spider-Man Homecoming event items!

Using his unique physique and agility, he performed as the star acrobat for years until finally attempting his escape.
