A lot of us were speculating about the new characters blasting their way onto our screens this January. Well now that the update has finally dropped, they have left us with more questions than answers. Yes, we know who the new characters are, but where are they, how do I get them? Fear not Marvel fans, answers are on their way!

War machine

For those of you who don’t know, War Machine is an armoured soldier who has access to an arsenal of weapons which he uses to bombard his foes. His abilities include a Rail gun, Missile System, Cluster Bombs and Integrated Targeting. Most of these attacks damage multiple enemies, so he is the perfect character for mass damage. Lastly, he is an Avenger, so prepare for synergy with other Avengers, especially Iron man.

How do I get War Machine?

Whenever a new character is added to Marvel Strike Force, there is often a struggle to unlock this character. But this time around, unlocking War Machine is simple. He is a guaranteed reward if you buy the “Full Salvo Orb” from the supplies store. How many pieces of War Machine you get is blind luck, but you are bound to get some with a purchase.

Where is Carnage?

A lot of people knew Carnage was coming into Marvel Strike Force. He was the only character confirmed before the update launched. But, he is not the first one introduced into the roster, why?

Well, it’s common practice for Foxnet to stagnate the release of their new characters. Plus they seem to enjoy keeping the community guessing. So it makes sense they would tell us one new character arriving onto the scene. But, they would also make sure that wasn’t the first one available, just to keep us on our toes.

When will Carnage be added?

There is no exact date to confirm when we will see him added or information on how he will be unlocked. Data mines show that Carnage will be a 100 shard character, requiring three stars to be unlocked. The data mine also shows we will unlock these shards from the Blitz game mode.

So I recommend that you keep stacking up everything. I know it’s tempting to open your many orbs, but you’ve waited this long, why not wait another week and see if it was worth your time.
