MEGA HIVE

The Mega Hive is a single-player chain of eight missions that tests your team’s might. Each week, you’ll have a shot at completing the Mega Hive mission chain. When you defeat all eight missions, the Mega Hive mission chain is removed from the War Table until the next weekly refresh, when you can run it again with new modifiers.

This week’s modifiers include:

Famine
Clash
Heavyweight
Bane

Weekly Rewards: As you progress through the Mega Hive, rewards start as basic gear, resources, and small amounts of cosmetic currency. The more missions you survive, the resource drops increase. As you near the final mission, you’ll see better gear and artifacts awarded more often, and increased chances for patterns/nameplates. When you complete all eight Mega Hive missions, you’ll be rewarded with exclusive goodies reserved for this gauntlet, including a significant amount of high-quality resources..

Modifiers are game changers! Check out some pro-tips from our team that will help you prepare for this week’s challenges!

Torpedo: It’s best to select heroes with strong Ranged Attacks or to equip gear high in the Precision attribute to best take advantage of Torpedo. Don’t forget, enemy Ranged Attacks also do more damage, so be sure to Dodge and Evade incoming projectiles!
Famine: Focusing on Takedowns and careful usage of the regenerative nanite containers are key to survivability when Famine is active.
Bane: Adaptoids are one of the more challenging enemies in the game and Bane just makes them more prevalent. To defeat these powerhouse opponents, don’t let them restore their health. If you see them put up their shield to regenerate, get in close and use a Power Attack to stop them from healing.
Heavyweight: Stunning enemies is a very effective combat tactic and when Heavyweight is active, things just gets easier. Equip gear with a high Intensity attribute score to magnify the impact of this modifier.

Feeling emote-tional? This week’s marketplace is stocked with a variety of emotes to choose from! Check out a Legendary collection like Black Widow’s “Souvenir”. Hulk’s “Tea Time” and Iron Man’s “Fireworks”. There are also several Rare and Epic emotes to choose from.

The Marketplace is a place for us to feature purchasable cosmetics in the form of Outfits, Emotes, Takedowns, and Nameplates. The Marketplace’s Uncommon, Rare, Epic, and Legendary items rotate weekly, and can be purchased with Credits.
