Summary
- Leaks reveal potential new Marvel Rivals Team-Ups, such as Punisher-Black Widow, Venom-Jeff, Luna-Hawkeye, and Rocket-Peni.
- These Team-Ups still lack specific details and may debut in the mid-Season 2 update.
A Marvel Rivals leak has revealed that four new Team-Ups may be added soon. Marvel Rivals published a Dev Talk recently teasing Team-Ups that will drop with the mid-season update but gave no details on what players can expect.
The Team-Up is a Marvel Rivals feature unlocked when two specific characters are on the same team, giving them additional buffs and abilities. One of the most popular Team-Ups in Marvel Rivals is the Fastball Special, unlocked when Wolverine and Hulk are on the same team, with the Emerald Giant able to throw Logan across the map. When they are allies, the Invisible Woman and any member of The Fantastic Four unlock the Fantastic Force Team-Up, with which Sue Storm increases the ally's resistance and health regeneration. Now, a new claim teases that even more Team-Ups are on the way for the game.
Marvel Rivals Players Have Started a ‘Support Strike’
Marvel Rivals players start a movement called ‘support strike,’ and use social media to debate their reasons for making this decision.
Shared by prominent dataminer X0X_Leak, it has been revealed that Marvel Rivals might add Team-Ups for Punisher and Black Widow, Venom and Jeff, Luna Snow and Hawkeye, and Rocket Raccoon and Peni Parker. According to them, Punisher, Venom, Luna, and Rocket will be the anchors, the characters who must be present for the Team-Up to be activated. With that, Black Widow, Jeff, Hawkeye, and Peni will be the receiving parties. It's important to note that, despite these potential additions to the Team-Ups already available in Marvel Rivals, X0X_Leak hasn't revealed what their active and passive abilities will be.
Marvel Rivals Leaked Team-Ups
- Punisher (Anchor) > Black Widow
- Venom (Anchor) > Jeff
- Luna Snow (Anchor) > Hawkeye
- Rocket Raccoon (Anchor) > Peni Parker
Currently, the Punisher's Team-Up is Ammo Overload (with Rocket), while Venom has Symbiote Bond (with Peni), Luna Snow has Atlas Bond (with Iron Fist) and Chilling Charisma (with Jeff), and Rocket has Planet X Pals (with Jeff and Groot). Allied Agents, Hawkeye's Team-Up with Black Widow, draws attention because it's the only one the two characters have. In the comments, other players speculate that the Team-Up with Venom could make Jeff's ult even stronger, or that it could be along the lines of the synergy between the Human Torch and Storm. Other comments expressed a desire to see Hawkeye get freezing arrows and Black Widow get an additional firearm.
All the information in the leaks is unofficial, so it may change until an official announcement or the release of the mid-Season 2 update. This patch is particularly eagerly awaited because, as well as potentially adding a new map to Marvel Rivals, it will be Ultron's debut in the game.
