Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League Launches Episode 6

Key Takeaways

  • Season 3, Episode 6 of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League brings new locations in Gotham City.
  • Quality of life updates for players include streamlined loot rewards, more gear, weapons, and legendary contracts in Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League.
  • Rocksteady is looking to make up for initial game disappointments in Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League’s latest episode.

As a seasoned gamer with over two decades under my belt, I’ve seen my fair share of patch notes. But this one, dear friends, is a veritable smorgasbord of fixes, tweaks, and improvements! From obscuring forms during rival taunts (because who needs that drama?) to squashing bugs that caused enemies to hover above downed characters like some bizarre, pixelated ballet, this update has got it all.

Currently, you can dive into Episode 6 of Season 3 for the game “Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League,” which has just been made available within the game. This latest installment brings a host of fresh updates to the Arkham Universe created by Rocksteady. The much-awaited “Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League” was initially launched in February 2024, and Rocksteady continues to regularly introduce new features to this engaging title.

Right from the start, Rocksteady encountered criticism for Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League when it was revealed as a live service game. In the time following its launch, the creators have gradually added new characters and broadened the game’s original storyline. The most recent installment of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League further develops this foundation.

In the latest episode of Season 3 titled “Scoundrels” for the game Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, it’s now available to play on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S consoles. This installment presents players with a fresh Mayhem Mission, set in an alternate reality called Elseworld, where they must thwart Brainiac. In Season 3, a new character named Lawless was introduced, expanding the roster for the Suicide Squad. Players can now explore newly added locations within Gotham City, including the Batcave, Chinatown, and the Ace Chemicals Factory, which has been transformed into a toxic floating island. To help players tackle these new challenges, Scarecrow and Two-Face-themed weapons have reappeared as top-tier Infamy Gear.

The relentless suffering inflicted upon Scarecrow can cause the Suicide Squad to instill terror in Brainiac’s troops, dealing massive amounts of toxic damage. However, this ability drains the Shield at a quicker rate, so players need to plan their attacks thoughtfully. Conversely, Two-Face’s Crime and Punishment collection strengthens shields and melee damage, making it ideal for those who favor close-quarters fighting styles.

Despite not living up to expectations with the game “Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League,” Rocksteady is still making improvements for the players’ experience. They are swapping Resource Rewards for additional gear and weapons, aiming to simplify looting and leveling-up processes so players can acquire high-powered equipment sooner. Additionally, Legendary contracts will appear more often, providing extra rewards for gamers, while new Notorious contracts offer a greater challenge but reward players with more Notorious equipment.

The start of Season 3 for the video game “Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League” has faced some turbulence, mostly because fans weren’t thrilled with Lawless becoming part of the team. They were hoping for a more popular character like Deathstroke to join instead. However, developers at Rocksteady are steering the game towards new territories that might help recover from the initial letdown.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League Patch Notes

It’s high time we reveal the darker, more menacing side of Gotham City than ever before in Episode 6: Scoundrels.

This episode will see the return of several renowned antagonists, each equipped with an enhanced arsenal, alongside fresh missions and unexplored realms within the Elseworlds.

In Episode 6, instead of just one, there are three antagonists contributing to the Infamy Set, each significantly boosting their respective sets with the addition of a formidable Tier 4 – Bane, Scarecrow, and Two-Face all included.

As a gamer, here’s my take:

As a gaming enthusiast, I can’t wait to get my hands on three cunning trinkets that the Riddler has crafted especially for us players. These Notorious items will surely add an extra layer of challenge to our gaming experience!

You’ll find even more of Gotham City to discover in Episode 6, as the Elseworld missions delve into fresh, legendary spots such as the Ace Chemicals factory.

More details on all new content can be found in our Episode 6 Blog Post.
