Daredevil - Shadowed Start

The Devil of Hell's Kitchen has heard your pleas! We've been monitoring the community's overwhelming love for Matt Murdock's Shadowed Start costume. Thanks to your radar-sharp feedback, we are thrilled to add two new customization options to this costume this week:

1. The default weapon for Shadowed Start will be changed to the White Billy Club. The current Black Billy Club will become an optional customization that you can swap to at any time.

2. We are adding an option that allows you to turn off the "Demon's Rage" flame VFX. Note: This only affects your own screen; other players will still see your glorious Demon's Rage flames in all their fiery glory!

As a thank-you for your incredible support, these two customization options will be given out for free. All rivals who own this costume will receive them automatically. Justice is served!

Blood Hunt

The eternal night is relentless, but so are our heroes! This update brings a massive wave of super-soldier-level stat adjustments specifically for the Blood Hunt mode, and for those brave enough to face the true darkness, the Nightmare difficulty cap has been raised to 200! Here is how we're tuning the roster to push back the night:

The Punisher

Frank is bringing the heavy artillery

•

The Barrager Build

1. Increased the base damage buff applied to Adjudication by the base stats of the Rifle of Retribution gear.

2. Increased the damage buff applied to the next shot after each Adjudication hit by the base stats of the Vibranium Barrel gear.

3. Increased the base damage of the split bullets from the Shrapnel Shot trait.

4. Increased the damage of the extra horizontal trajectory bullets in the Multi-Trajectory trait.

•

The Sweeper Build

1. Increased the base damage buff applied to Deliverance by the base stats of the Marauder Shotgun gear.

2. Increased the Mithril Slug gear's damage boost applied to your next shot after every Deliverance hit based on base stats.

3. Reduced the damage falloff of piercing bullets in the Piercing Shot trait.

4. Increased the damage of the extra fired bullets in the Chain Fire trait.

5. Bug Fix: Fixed an issue where the explosive damage bonus from the gear expansion stats corresponding to the Chain Reaction trait was not taking effect.

Moon Knight

Khonshu demands vengeance, but requires discipline

•

Fist of the Moon God Build

1. Increased the base damage buff for enhanced Eclipse Explosions provided by the base stats of the Uru Knuckles gear.

2. Added a new effect to the Gauntlets of Thoth gear: Moon Knight now gains a percentage of independent Damage Reduction.

3. Nerf: Reduced the base damage of Hand of Khonshu in the Fist of Khonshu trait.
