• Doom’s Henchmen goal is to gather six Arcane Artifacts scattered around the map. Collecting all six Arcane Artifacts is essential as it causes Avengers lose their respawns. After the collection the Henchmen must eliminate all Avengers to win. Henchmen have access to powerful items and weapons, including Doctor Doom’s Arcane Gauntlets and a variety of Mythic-rarity guns.
• The Avengers need to prevent the Henchmen from collecting all six artifacts. Their victory is achieved by depleting the Henchmen’s respawn pool. Avengers are equipped with themed loadouts, such as Captain America’s shield and War Machine’s arsenal randomly provided loadout upon each respawn.

This mode will be available in the game until October 4 at 9 AM ET, so players should take advantage while it’s active.
