Injustice 2 July Update Out
« on: July 01, 2017, 12:50:24 pm »


The latest Injustice 2 update went live today, and it's a big one. Among other things, it includes a lot of bug fixes, balance updates, and stability improvements. It also features a particularly large number of tweaks for Red Hood, who was released as DLC earlier in June.

Developer NetherRealm released the patch notes on the game's website. One highlight of this patch is a tweak that restricts players to using certain stage-specific interactions only once per combo. In addition, the update includes a big fix to projectile attacks that makes them interact correctly with projectile-affecting moves.

Red Hood, meanwhile, has received a number of changes, such as damage reduction to Shrapnel Blast, damage increase to Shrapnel Blast's Meter Burn, and other tweaks. The character's patch list is longer than others', likely because Red Hood is the most recent character added to the game.
