NetherRealm Studios rolled out a pretty massive Injustice 2 update, and there's a whole lot of stuff to learn.

The update hasn't made any huge buffs or nerfs -- not to characters, anyway. Superman got some very minor nerfs, but they're only the types of downgrades that frame-counting pros are going to notice. Legendary Gear, on the other hand, has been given a pretty encouraging boost in power, and it's also arrived for seven new characters. Not only that, NetherRealm Studios have made Legendary Gear much easier to earn.

Because the changes to Legendary Gear and the way you earn it have been altered so heavily, we're going to begin there move on to character changes, and then conclude with general bug fixes and stage corrections. Here are the big changes:

  • Increased the Base Stats on Legendary items

  • Legendary Multiverse Portals are now available for Black Adam, Brainiac, Catwoman, Deadshot, Flash, Scarecrow, and Supergirl

  • Reduced the "minutes played with" requirements in Legendary Multiverse Events from 3000 & 7000 to 1000 & 3000 respectively

  • The "sacrifice gear" requirements in Legendary Multiverse Events now uses Rare or Epic items

The "minutes played with" requirement changes are absolutely huge, and something that players were asking for since the events started popping up. Some of us have jobs and families!
