The biggest addition from the update is a major conflict taking place in The Daily Bugle. Players must help the Resistance fight to take back the Spider-Man location from the IO, taking on a hefty amount of IO Guards. The update also unvaults the Heavy Sniper Rifle, which has been reworked to deal bonus damage against vehicles. A handful of weapons have had their damage reduced, including the Combat and Stinger SMG, and the MK-Seven and Combat Assault Rifle.

For the skirmish at The Daily Bugle, the battle will commence once players have entered the area, somewhat similar to Fortnite's Sideways encounters of Chapter 2 Season 8. Players must successfully clear three waves of IO Guards in order to reclaim the POI, although they'll have help from several Seven Sentry AI, which will spawn
