While mostly based on providing new gameplay balance changes and other bug fixes, the latest Injustice 2 update also had a few other additions.
The official September patch has been launched and appears to have brought with it a new Legendary Gear tier.
Since the Injustice 2 update was launched, fans have found that they can now bulk select gear in a character’s inventory screen with simple and advanced filters.
And one of these new options includes a Legendary Gear tier, which appears in Red.
No one has reported picking up any Legendary Gear yet so many are assuming it will be introduced with the launch of the new DLC characters.
Injustice 2 fans will see the launch of Black Manta on September 12, at least for those who own a Special Edition of the game.
It’s likely that the general release of Black Manta will occur the following week, although more is expected to be announced later this week.
Fans may have also noticed that Black Manta has his own character selection slot, that’s currently blacked out.
The official DLC description from NetherRealm reads: “As forces converge upon Atlantis and its King, a current of vengeance flows through the ruthless undersea mercenary known as Black Manta.
“Sworn to avenge the death of his father, Black Manta has long waited in darkness for his moment to strike.”
