  • Mayhem missions now reward 200 Battle Pass XP (Up From 100).
  • Killing Time remains unchanged, as this is based on the Mastery Level you complete it at.
  • Cargonauts now reward 100 Battle Pass XP (Up from 50).
• The drop rate of Master Notorious and Master Infamy gear has been increased.
• Damage reduction from Nightmare stacks gained from the Tier 3 Scarecrow Infamy Set bonus has been increased to 20% (Up from 10%)
• Burn and Poison have both had their damage over time increased at higher Mastery Levels.
• We’ve made some changes to Support Squad Branch Missions to make engaging with their respectful mechanics more impactful and to make them a little easier to complete.
  • Toyman Missions – Critical hits now do 300% increased damage and enemy health regen has been reduced to 5% per non-critical hit.
  • Penguin Missions – The Terminaut buff now grants 300% increased damage against all enemies.
  • Ivy Missions – Players now deal 300% increased damage to Afflicted enemies.
  • Rick Flag Missions – Players now deal 300% increased Grenade damage to all enemies.
  • Lex Missions – Counters are now a 1-hit kill on Grunt enemies and deplete an entire health bar on Brute enemies.
• The ‘Pain Suppression’ Mutator has had its damage reduction reduced from 95% down to 50%.
• The ‘Craze Immunity’ Mutator has been toned down and renamed to ‘Craze Tolerance’. The following now applies for this Mutator:

• Nth Metal rewards from Mastery Level Incursions have been capped at 400% (Mastery Level 70+)
• We’ve made changes to the Bug Outpost Stronghold that’s closest to the Hall of Justice in Episode 1 to make it a little more challenging. To do that, we’ve swapped out an Energy Crystal and Generator Crystal and replaced them with 2 Super Generator Crystals, so you’re going to want to consider the order in which you destroy the Crystals, and be quick about it.
• We have added options to more easily navigate Episode Rank Rewards while using a controller. You can now scroll by page, rather than only per item.
• Terminaut Bit requirements during the ‘High Roller’ and ‘Shooting Gallery’ Incursions have been reduced when playing in multiplayer, as we felt that these were slightly too high.
• Added “Joker” as a filter option in the Store.
