Marvel’s Avengers V1.5.1 Patch Notes Revealed

A new patch (V1.5.1) has hit for Marvel's Avengers, and along with the usual bug fixes and adjustments, it also packs a new feature that fans of the game will definitely enjoy. That would be the addition of Flashback Missions, which will show up on a daily rotation and can only be completed once a day. If you complete them the rewards will include Legendary set gear, but only if the hero is above Power level 100. The Gear slot of the item will be determined by the emission that is in rotation on that day, so if you play Along Came a Spider, you will get either a ranged or melee slot Legendary item, but if you play Mistaken Identity, you will get a Defense or Heroic Legendary from the same set instead.

Other updates including progression fixes, cinematic fixes, matchmaking improvements, gear changes to Villain Sectors, and more, and you can find all of the updates in this patch below.

REASSEMBLE CAMPAIGN & AVENGERS INITIATIVE
