A Note on Tactical Mods
- Feedback has been generally negative about how difficult it is to get the Time Capsule tactical mod you are looking for. You usually end up with a mod for a power in another powerset you have no interest in, and trading them isn't super fun. No problem.
- With Game Update 75, the tactical mod sub-capsules will be removed from all Time Capsules. Each powerset's mods will be bundled into a powerset-specific tactical mod box and will be made available at a later date. Opening this box will provide you with the choice of one of two random tactical mods from the specified powerset.
- Water's tactical mods will be introduced to the game in this way.
A Note on Time Capsule Structure
- In addition to removing the tactical mod sub-capsule, Time Capsules 1-4 have had the provisions sub-capsule removed and the collector's sub-capsule added, bringing them up to date with the structure in more recent Time Capsules.
