Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League Final Update Released With Patch Notes

Support for Suicide Squad has reached its end. 

Less than a year after its release, the final update for Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League has now gone live. By all accounts, Suicide Squad has been one of the biggest bombs in recent memory. Despite failing to meet expectations both critically and commercially, though, developer Rocksteady Games has continued to release new updates for Suicide Squad at a frequent pace to see through its previous commitments. Now, with those commitments having been met, work on the game has reached its conclusion with the launch of this new patch.

Downloadable now across PS5, Xbox, and PC, the last update for Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League brings some new content to the game. This new content takes the form of an expanded location to explore and four new weapons to use. Other than this, the rest of the update is related to bug fixes with some others being tied to slight gameplay tweaks.

Moving forward, Rocksteady hasn’t announced any additional plans for Suicide Squad beyond this patch. That being said, it has acknowledged there are some issues still remaining in the game that might be rectified in another subsequent patch. In addition, Suicide Squad is now available to download and play for free as part of PlayStation Plus for the month of January 2025. As such, if Rocksteady sees a rise in player counts via PS Plus, perhaps there will still be a couple of additional patches in the future.

Until then, though, you can get a look at the patch notes for what should be the final update to Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League attached below.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League Episode 8 Update Patch Notes

MEDIEVAL GENIUS 

Youโ€™ll be able to explore more of the medieval Elseworld in Episode 8: Balance, with twists on familiar sights and new locations too. Take your quest to The Quarry, a fortified citadel youโ€™ll have to besiege if you wish to triumph over the tyrant Brainiac. The Arena is the perfect place for jousting tournaments or interdimensional warfare, and the statues of King Jor-El and Queen Lara Lor-Van will be sure to inspire awe for this age of chivalry and honor. 

LIBRA INFAMY SET 

The Infamy Set for Episode 8 is inspired by Libra, an incredibly dangerous DC Super-Villain obsessed with the idea of balance. This fascination with balance carries over to his Infamy Set, which applies stacks ofย Scales of Libraย to enemies, increasing both the damage they deal andreceive by 50% for each stack. This makes it a high risk, high reward set that encourages a bold and dynamic playstyle.

NOTORIOUS WEAPONS 

The perfect accompaniment to Libraโ€™s Infamy Set is The Silencerโ€™sย Complete Silence. This set of weapons inspired by the deadly assassin The Silencer deals a bonus 200% damage to any enemy affected by stacks of Scales of Libra. The Alt-Fire is where this weapon truly shines, however, dealing 1,000% bonus damage and creating a Silencer Zone where the enemy was hit. Enemies standing in Silencer Zones have 100% reduced damage, making this a perfect crowd control tool while you and your squad dish out some major damage.

Doctor Sivanaโ€™s Magic Bullets is the perfect way to kill a lot of enemies really fast. Bullets from this weapon pierce through enemies, apply a stack of Scales of Libra and have a chance to electrify enemies hit. If you can position yourself cleverly to line up multiple enemies with one shot, this shocking weapon can devastate an entire army.

Chronosโ€™ Equilibrium dials up the glass cannon playstyle to the max, dealing 25% bonus damage for every 1% of your Shield missing, encouraging a dangerous but incredibly powerful style of play where youโ€™ll constantly be in the middle of the fray.

GAMEPLAY CHANGES
