- Hawkeye is getting a damage boost in the upcoming update.
- Leaked information hints at the return of rare skins for Hawkeye and Captain America.
Marvel Rivals has revealed that it will be giving players the opportunity to earn the new Binary Arrow costume for the Duelist Hawkeye when its major mid-season update launches on May 30. NetEase Games recently announced that it would be launching Season 2.5 of Marvel Rivals, which will include a new playable character, a fresh map, and numerous balance changes.
The upcoming balance changes to Marvel Rivals revealed that Hawkeye will be getting a boost to his damage output. The base damage of his arrow will be increased from 32 to 34, while the projectile damage from his Blast Arrow will be increased from 15 to 16. Some fans were disappointed to learn that other characters, like Jeff and Thor, would be getting nerfed. These kinds of changes are fairly commonplace, as the developers are always tweaking characters to ensure that the battlefield is as fair as possible.
Marvel Rivals Players Aren’t Happy With the Hellfire Gala Moments Event
Marvel Rivals players come together to express their frustration over the Hellfire Gala Moments event in NetEase Games' popular hero shooter.
In a recent post on Twitter, NetEase Games revealed a new skin for Marvel Rivals' Hawkeye, which players will be able to earn for free by completing the next round of Cerebro Database challenges. Gamers will be able to begin working on these quests when the major mid-season update launches on May 30. According to the description, this version of Hawkeye, called Binary Arrow, has been infected by Ultron with some kind of mechanical virus. The outfit appears to be a high-tech black and gray design with touches of red around the bits of Hawkeye that appear to be mechanical.
Marvel Rivals Players Can Earn the Binary Arrow Costume for Hawkeye May 30
The mention of Ultron is well-timed, as the villain will be added to the popular hero shooter's ever-expanding roster on May 30 as well. A recent video showed off Ultron's ability kit in Marvel Rivals, giving the flying Strategist a moment in the spotlight. It seems as if Ultron has the ability to summon small drones that create shields for himself and nearby allies. His ultimate also summons several copies of himself that release devastating explosions capable of harming enemies and healing allies.
Recent leaks have suggested that two rare skins could be coming back to Marvel Rivals, which has excited many fans. Hawkeye's Galactic Fangs costume and Captain America's Galactic Talon costume were both limited releases that were only available during Season 0. In a recent post on Twitter, NetEase Games teased the return of a couple of fan-favorite costumes. Once the most recent patch went live, X0X_LEAK revealed that an ad image for the two skins had been added to the game's files. As with all leaks, this information should be taken with a grain of salt. There's no official word on when the skins might return to the shop, if they come back at all. With so much content to enjoy and even more on the way, many fans are feeling optimistic about the future of Marvel Rivals.
