Gather Intel in Nick Fury's Recon Initiatives

Begin Transmission…

Summoners!

The Battlerealm is full of countless Allies and Enemies, and Nick Fury wants to know everything about all of them! Join him in a month long Event to gather Intel on the Champions of the Battlerealm!

Assist Nick Fury in gathering Intel, and trade that Intel for rewards such as Catalyst Fragments, Crystal Shards, and Hero Crystals! Assist him in all of his recon missions, and you’ll have enough Intel to trade for a 5-Star Awakening Gem Crystal!

Your Mission, if you choose to accept it…

Over the next 4 weeks, we will introduce 1 Quest per week with 5 different Difficulty Levels. Each of these Quests is only 2 paths, with a buffed up Boss at the end!

Easy right? Here’s where it gets interesting… Each of these Quests feature Champion Requirements, and each week your team will be limited to which Champions that you can bring in!

Champions will be limited based on their Universe Tags (which can be found on a Champion’s info page). This means each weekly Quest can only be completed with Champions of that Tag.

Week 1: Avengers and Guardians of the Galaxy
Week 2: X-Men and X-Force
Week 3: Spider-verse Heroes, Sinister Six, and Symbiote
Week 4: Mercenaries and Robots

All Chapters will remain open until the end of the event, so you'll have time to 100% Explore the previous weeks Quest.

You'll need to complete harder difficulties to get more rewards, so make sure the Champions on your roster with those Tags are ready for a Challenge! We'll also be sending out another message each week outlining which Champions fall under said Tags.

For those of you that may need to expand your roster, special Crystals containing Champions that can enter these Quests will be available each week of the Event. Yes, that includes unreleased 2 Star Version of some of these Champions! This doesn’t include Champions who are not in the base pool, such as Deadpool, Goldpool, Havok, Ultron (Classic), Vision, or special rarity exclusives such as 4-Star Rhino or Cyclops, 5-Star Gamora or Thor.

If you’ve become Uncollected, a Grandmaster version of these Crystals will also be available. Make sure you check out the crystal descriptions to see exactly which Champions are included in these Crystals.

Knowledge is Power!

The task is great, but the rewards are greater! Use your Intel in the Store to purchase rewards to assist you in your own missions across The Contest!

You’ll find items such as Tier 5 Basic Catalyst Fragments, 5-Star and 6-Star Hero Crystal Shards, Awakening Gem Crystals, 4-Star Hero Crystals, and much more!

While Intel will mostly only be available in Nick Fury’s Recon Initiatives, there will also be a Special Calendar that will award you a small amount for logging in every day! But don’t miss a single day, because if you do, you’ll be reset to Day 1!

Each of these items have purchase limits. Some, you’ll be able to purchase up to 20 times, while others you’ll only be able to purchase once.

For those that want to chase the 5-Star Awakening Gem Crystal, you’ll need to complete every Difficulty of the event, and log in every day to claim your daily Intel from the Calendar! The Crystal costs 5000 Intel, and it’s only possible to get 5740 Intel from normal play.

This Message Will Self Destruct…

Nick Fury's Recon Initiative begins March 6, 10:00 AM PST. With a new Chapter releasing each Wednesday after that. All Chapters will remain open until the end of the event on April 3, 10:00 AM PDT. So you'll have time to 100% Explore the previous weeks Quest.

End Transmission.

EDIT: If you're curious as the list of Champions that you can use, check out this list here. But keep in mind, the Crystals will not contain all of these Champions. Make sure you check out the list of Champions in the Crystal before you purchase it!

@Kabam Miike any idea on rough energy cost per path for each difficulty?

Well that sux when your 2 strongest characters are Blade and Ghost Rider : -(

Why is there no omega red in x-men?

Why is there no omega red in x-men?

Because he’s not an X-Men

HeroBoltsy

Will there be some sort of special Intel given in this event, aside from the limited in-game currency, that explains why Cyclops is so effective in Week 2?

Definitely seems interesting, and a fair if unpredicted challenge. Looking forward to it.

I logged into my 2nd acct after udpate and got 15 of nick furys deals. Logged in before update on main acct and got no 15 of anything. No new calendar present.

Armeging94

I need 3 champions

SentriBR08

I need 4 champions, my level is bad

ddom

will rough difficulty level be around gwenpool gttm?

Hulk_77

I'll come in to say that I like champion requirements, it gets me using parts of my roster that I maybe wouldn't otherwise. But that needs to be coupled without this being too over the top difficult. If 5r3s are going to struggle to complete it without heavy item use, then it feels less fun and more punative.

Basically, if Epic difficulty is roughly the same as UC difficulty, I'm going to be happy about it. If it is significantly harder, I'm going to be upset. Hope that makes sense.

Log into your main after update and see wat happens.
The new calender is part of the update

None of the seven champs I've got at 4/55 or R1 6* are included in any of the four weeks, so my fingers are reeeallly crossed right now that the Uncollected levels won't be too hard.

Same here!

Why is cap ww2 not in the avenger 1st week?

wwii is not an avenger.
he was before the avengers existed.

Fingfangfoomfanes

The event looks great but it says normal play earns up to 5740 intel. How about playing all except epic? Will I still be able to gather that much intel for the 5 star AG? Sad that such amount of intel can only choose the most expensive and not leave buffer for other ideal items.

Nothing changed after the update @MaatMan
I have updated both accounts, one already has the calendar with Intel and the other doesn't. Both have been updated parallely..
@Kabam Miike any idea if this is a bug or something that is going to be fixed by the time the events start?

Thanks in advance!

Why is cap ww2 not in the avenger 1st week?

Because he wasn't an avenger back then. To be precise, the avengers didn't exist during ww2...

Yes it was.
Cap is the first avenger.
And that movie shows his origin.
It is because of him then that the avengers start.
But at that point he was an agent of shield or the ssr wateva it was called then

While that makes some sense, I’m not sure you can rely on the timeline as we think we know it. There’s a fair amount of jumbling between the comic-verse and the MCU in game, and it only becomes more apparent when the hashtag system gets used extensively. If you consider Miike’s statement that SHIELD champs aren’t useable because Nick Fury already knows everything about them, then you’re left with quite a few questions:

Is this Nick from 1995, the year the new CM movie takes place? If so, then he’s looking for intel on a Peter Quill who was kidnapped by Yondu just 7 years prior and is likely still a teenage mascot for the Ravagers (and certainly not yet the illustrious Star-Prince). Likewise Gamora, who may have just had her first cybernetic implant as a present on her sweet sixteen from big daddy Thanos. And the AoU Vision? Well, he doesn’t exist yet. And in the MCU, Wanda Maximoff hasn’t met Strucker or any Infinity Stones. It goes on and on if you think about IWIM, Ragnarok Hulk and Thor...

What if this is the current Nick as we know him? He does have the eyepatch, so that’s a possibility. Then why is he looking for intel on Natasha, Clint, Steve? He doesn’t know about them yet? Ultron is yesterday’s news, so he shouldn’t be too worried there. In fact, all the Avengers ought to be well-known to him at this stage (as well as CM, who he met in 1995, who should be a later version of the Classic CM...oh, whatever).

Not trying to start a fight—I think it will be a great event, and I’m generally fine with the decision to exclude certain popular champs even if it puts some at a disadvantage (as long as the difficulty doesn’t approach recent top-end events like Variant and Maze).

But I don’t think there’s strict timeline adherence here—it is this way because the team says it is, period. And we can choose to play/like it or not. I tend to think I will like it.

not gunna say too much cus not gunna give spoilers to the CM movie i just saw.
but "Avengers Initiative" in the MCU does not start until after Fury works with CM in 1995.
so WWii Cap is along time Pre-Avengers

and Nick fury in game has more advanced shield tech and his eye patch so is from the IW/EG timeperiod not the CM time period.

but you are correct. the timeline is fluid as the battlerealm is in "time lock" and is in essntially fluid in time existing in no time but all times all at once.
kinda a 5th dimension Interstellar situation
