Pym-ini Sandwich Upgrade

Hungry for some hero fuel? This week, Pym's Test Kitchen has upgraded its food truck and Pym-ini Sandwiches:

  1. Food Truck Cooldown Reduced: We've super-charged Ultron-1's code to crank out those sandwiches even faster (he seems happy about it). The Pym Test Kitchen food truck now refreshes every 30 minutes!

  2. Visual FeastMost of the visual effect issues from consuming Pym-ini Sandwiches have been polished and fixed. Your ups and downs now look extra epic.

Fixes

All Platforms

  1. Avatar AnomalyFixed an issue with the Lady Loki costume lord avatar display. Loki's mischief has been put to an end!
  2. Multi-Form Guidance GlitchFixed an issue where hero multi-form guides could pop up repeatedly under certain conditions. Guidance now appears only when needed, no more déjà vu.

Heroes

  1. Loki's Double Take: When equipped with the Lady Loki costume, Loki's ultimate transformation would incorrectly show the default Loki avatar in combat stats. Now, her true face shines through; no identity confusion!

  2. Cloak & Dagger's Light ShowFixed a rare bug where using Light's Embrace and Ultimate Ability simultaneously could cause the ultimate to lose its visual effects. The duo's powers are back to dazzling!

  3. Adam Warlock's Resurrection Relocation: Reviving teammates with Adam Warlock's ultimate at certain locations could resurrect them at the spot they were defeated. Now, heroes return to battle where they're meant to; no more ghostly glitches!

  4. Rogue's Tumble Trouble: If Rogue collided mid-air with an enemy using Chrono Kick Combo, and that enemy was defeated during the crash, Rogue could remain knocked down for longer than intended. She now springs back into action with X-tra resilience!

The Marvel Rivals universe is ever-evolving, and we have plenty more surprises and updates on the horizon. Stay tuned to our official announcements for more!
