July 25, 2012 Patch Notes

Introduction
Special Operations are limited time missions with exclusive rewards. You can access them under the Spec Ops tab in the Missions screen. Each combat and deploy in the Spec Op costs Unstable Iso-8, a rapidly decaying resource that will vanish after the end of the event. These missions adjust to your agent’s level, so anyone can participate!

Unstable Iso-8 is required to start any combat or deploy event in Spec Ops missions. S.H.I.E.L.D. will distribute some to every agent to get things started, and more may be found on the battlefield. For those in a hurry, you can request gifted Unstable Iso-8 from your allies, or purchase a supply in exchange for gold.

Spec Op Tasks (New!)
We’re doing something new and different in Special Operation 2. Instead of requiring 15 mastery stars to unlock the hero (like Mockingbird in Spec Ops 1), we have a new Task system.

These tasks are displayed on the upper left of the Mission and Flight Deck screens, and are marked with an Unstable Iso-8 icon.
