The update isn’t out just yet, however. While Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League did have a period of maintenance on Wednesday, that was just prep work for Episode 2, so the update itself isn’t actually out yet. It and Episode 2 release on May 23rd, but that just gives you more time to look over the patch notes below and see what’s to come:

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League Season 1 Episode 2 Patch Notes

Changes in this release

New Green Lantern Infused Enemies

These tricky new enemies are able to summon Green Lantern Constructs, turning up the pressure on the Squad. Green Lantern Infused enemies are immune to all direct damage until their Constructs have been destroyed, meaning you’ll need your target prioritisation game to be on point when tackling them.

Added a New Mission – ‘Out of Orbit’

Brainiac is phasing in Corrupted Justice League Watchtowers to locate his next target. By leaving these Corrupted Watchtowers partially phased in, they are invulnerable to attacks from the Squad, which is where Hack comes in to lock them down and allow Task Force X to get to work.
Brainiac’s forces will be assaulting Metropolis from two dimensions at once. Enemies in another dimension cannot be harmed, but will still disrupt your ability to destroy the Corrupted Watchtower. That means your Squad will be switching between dimensions to take out Brainiac’s forces, lock down all the Control Points, and ultimately destroy the Corrupted Watchtower!
The Watchtower has its own defences to contend with, making this a challenging but incredibly fun new way to bring the fight to Brainiac.

Added a New Enemy Type – ‘Promotinaut’

Scientific progress never stops in Colu, and in Episode 2 Brainiac’s R&D division will begin rolling out a new type of Terminaut to contend with. The Promotinaut is a support enemy that can promote enemies to their next, more powerful level of mutation. Any Grunt enemy becomes a Bomber, and Bombers are promoted to the terrifying Destroyer.

Added 11 new Squad Skills across Total Character Levels 120, 135 and 150

Increased the base number of rewards earned for completing missions in Metropolis during Season Play from 2 to 3 (excludes Smash and Grab which remains 2)

Other Changes

Changed how Mastery Level progression is calculated, by increasing the offset from +2 to +5, on top of the average of the highest three mastery levels completed.

Added 3 new Metropolis Invasion difficulty levels
