Marvel Rivals Announces Further Alterations to Peni Parker

NetEase Games has found itself in a bit of a fix lately after a recent patch unexpectedly weakened Peni Parker in Marvel Rivals. This unforeseen nerf has left the fan base both disgruntled and hopeful, as they look forward to a resolution. The anticipation for what’s next, especially with whispers pointing to a new season dropping on April 11, only adds to the buzz within the community.

Initially planned to rectify a glitch affecting Peni Parker’s Arachno-Mines, the patch deployed on March 13 inadvertently nerfed the beloved Vanguard. Pre-patch, her mines would vanish when touching her Cyber-Webs, regardless of whether they dropped within the web or outside it. While the mines are intended to be invisible only within the web, their disappearance outside this zone led to numerous blindside attacks on players. Although the patch was supposed to patch things up, it instead stirred up a hornet’s nest of additional bugs.

Reacting swiftly, NetEase Games took to Marvel Rivals’ official Discord to address player grievances. They’ve acknowledged the malfunction causing Peni Parker’s Arachno-Mines to sometimes be visible and vulnerable within the webs, contrary to the design intention. This glitch allows adversaries to spam melee attacks and obliterate mines without facing any threats within her Cyber-Webs, diminishing her unique ability to ward off melee attackers.

As the community grapples with these changes, NetEase has reassured fans that the root cause of these issues is identified and a fix is underway. While no specific timeframe has been announced for the patch, developers promise to update players once there’s new information. Meanwhile, Peni Parker enthusiasts are eagerly awaiting a fresh skin for the character, rumored to be designed by Princessmomoko60. Alongside this, leaks suggest a new Spider-Man skin is in the pipeline. Despite occasional setbacks, the optimism around Marvel Rivals remains strong among its fans.
