A little over a month after launch, the Marvel’s Avengers content well seemed like it had dried up. But on Wednesday, Crystal Dynamics revealed the 1.3.3 patch, which includes some major quality of life changes and new content for players to dive into. The patch is now live on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, and will launch later on Windows PC via Steam Wednesday. The new content will be available on Thursday, Oct. 15.

Here’s a look at all the new content and features in Patch 1.3.3.

SHIELD Substation Zero Outpost

Marvel’s Avengers is getting a new Outpost dedicated entirely to SHIELD. The Substation Zero Outpost is the third in the game, and it’s a new command center for Maria Hill and the Avengers to investigate Tachyon Rifts, a new kind of mission.

It’s currently unclear how many new missions and items players can discover in the Substation Zero Outpost. But players will likely pick up new quests here directly from Maria Hill herself.

Tachyon Rifts and “Cosmic Gear”

Tachyon Rifts are a new kind of mission in Patch 1.3.3.

Based on Crystal Dynamics’ description of the mission, it’s not entirely clear what it is. Players will engage in some kind of combat where they’re constantly taking damage. But the rift also provides bonus Heroic energy. The event is timed, and players will need to pass through certain objects to extend the timer. These missions are only for high-level heroes at 140 Power or above. They rotate daily and players can only play them once per day.

For playing Tachyon Rifts, players can get a new caliber of gear called “Cosmic.” It’s currently unclear what Cosmic gear does, or how it’s different from the other gear pieces in the game.

Remote Faction terminals

One of the most annoying aspects of Marvel’s Avengers is the list of chores players need to complete before starting their play session. This includes numerous, long loads into the Avengers Helicarrier and the Ant Hill Outpost to pick up the daily faction missions. The best quality of life feature in Marvel’s Avengers’ latest patch is the Remote Faction terminal, which lets players load into a single Outpost and pick up all the daily missions from one, central location.

Bug and gear fixes

Being the first major patch in a few weeks, 1.3.3 also fixes a number of bugs and offers some major quality of life additions. We’ve collected some of the most noteworthy here.

  • Mega Hives now drop two Exotic items guaranteed, as well as a group of Upgrade Materials.
  • Companions will hold War Zone control points in Vaults and other missions
  • Improved matchmaking
  • Players can preview cosmetic items from vendors
  • The Tactical Awareness vision pulse lasts longer
  • Players can skip challenges for their Hero Challenge Cards
  • Fixed a variety of skins that removed themselves from players’ inventories
  • Exotic gear now drops at an appropriate Power level
  • Exotics are now more powerful

Check out the official patch notes below for a complete breakdown of all the changes.


Here are the official patch notes for Patch 1.3.3 from Crystal Dynamics and Square Enix.

  • Xbox: 10/14 11:00 AM PDT
  • Steam: 10/14 3:00 PM PDT
  • Stadia: TBD

Patch 1.3.3 introduces Tachyon Rifts and SHIELD Substation Zero to the Avengers Initiative (starting 10/15) as well as addresses bugs, tuning, and adds several highly requested quality of life and playability improvements across both the Reassemble Campaign and throughout the Avengers Initiative. Below are the highlights of what is addressed in Patch 1.3.3.

Patch highlights

With the latest 1.3.3 patch, we’ve added NVIDIA DLSS, which significantly improves framerate while maintaining high quality visuals for NVIDIA RTX hardware. We’ve also added DLSS support for ultra performance mode and Dynamic Resolution scaling. More information about NVIDIA DLSS can be found here.
