Rocksteady Studios has released a new patch for Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, and as promised, it fixes a bug with Diablo Blaze’s burn damage scaling. Instead of scaling with enemy debuffs and player damage buffs, it only scales with the former.
With these changes, Rocksteady believes players are less likely to reach the same Mastery Level. New Leaderboards are available (with the previous now archived), but this patch also reduces enemy health scaling for Mastery Level 46 and above. They’ll deal more damage, so don’t get complacent.
Other changes include Heat Wave’s Molten Skin and The Turtle’s Shell shields granting 90 percent damage reduction instead of 100 percent. Furthermore, Gizmo’s Support Squad missions no longer provide XP on vehicle kills due to players exploiting the same, though mission completion still provides XP. Check out the full patch notes below.
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is available for Xbox Series X/S, PS5 and PC. Check out our review here.
PATCH NOTES – FEBRUARY 14TH
BUG FIXES:
CHANGES IN THIS RELEASE:
Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League has officially been delayed, on Epic Game Store.
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League's first season of post-launch content gets underway on 28th March, introducing The Joker as a new playable character. Additionally, the delayed Epic Games Store version of Suicide Squad is now scheduled to launch on 26th March.
Developer Rocksteady Studios has revealed that it will be kicking off Season 1 of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League on March 28. As part of the game’s first bit of post-launch content, Joker will be joining Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League.
Rocksteady Studios has outlined several changes coming to Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, particularly for its Mutators, in future patches. Unfortunately, players will have to keep waiting. In a new Developer Update, the developer confirmed there won’t be a patch next week.
Long before the Suicide Squad went on to try about killing the Justice League, it dug its own grave. The action-adventure shooter from Rocksteady was born with the burden of living up to the lofty standards set by the studio's beloved Batman: Arkham games. Then, it stepped on a rake when last year's gameplay reveal confirmed that the game would be an always-online, live service looter shooter — a departure from Rocksteady's repertoire of narrative-focussed single-player experiences. And when it finally came out in early access ahead of its February 2 release, the developers had to pull it offline due to a bug that led to full story completion just as players logged in to the game for the first time.
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League has “fallen short” of Warner Bros. Discovery’s expectations.
While Warner Bros. Games saw a successful start to 2023 with Hogwarts Legacy, 2024 is a different story. Rocksteady Studios’ long-awaited Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is confirmed to have “fallen short” of expectations.
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League has failed to meet publisher Warner Bros' expectations.
Along with assuring players that future patches would fix server and login issues for Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, game director Axel Rydby also revealed other upcoming changes. First is a buff to Promethium earned from Raising Hell.
Rocksteady’s Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League received a patch last week to nerf burning damage and how it scales into the end-game. However, server and login issues persist even after all these weeks. Game director Axel Rydby revealed in the recent Weekly Developer Update that its next patch will address the same, though “we might not be able to fix all those issues right away.”
The newly released Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is continuing to lose players on Steam, with player counts dipping every day since the game's launch. The newest shooter from Rocksteady Studios in the Batman: Arkham universe shifts players to an anti-hero role, taking control of villains like Harley Quinn and King Shark to battle a mind-controlled Justice League. Reception to the game has largely been mixed since its launch, with many criticizing its lackluster gameplay. Now, even more fans are stepping away from the new DC shooter.
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League developer Rocksteady has confirmed that addressing its login and server issues remain the team's «top priority», but warned that it may «not be able to fix all those issues right away».
