Special Operations

''This article is about the Limited Missions. For the Marvel XP Award (Special Ops), see Marvel XP Awards''.

Special Operations are limited time challenges where players can earn unique Boss items through battle and even a new hero by completing specified objectives. Once the time for the mission has expired, the hero is put back in the vault. Special Operations can be accessed from the Flight Deck or the Mission screen.

While normal missions require 10 energy to access battles, Spec Ops also require Unstable Iso-8 to do the events. It costs Unstable Iso-8 for battles and for Deploy missions. It can be obtained through gifts from friends, dropped in battles or deploys, or purchased from the store However, once the mission is expired that flavor of Unstable Iso-8 goes away with it.

Players can do both Story Missions and Special Operations at the same time without aborting the other. All Special Operation Missions scales difficulty to the players' agent level, much like premium missions, as opposed to free missions, which a fixed agent level was given and was scaling difficulties to agent level after the mission was 5-starred.

Spec Ops 1 cost 5 Unstable Iso-8 for both Battles (including Bosses and Mini-Bosses) and Deploy Missions, while Spec Ops 2 has changed to 10 Unstable Iso-8 for Low / Medium / High Threat Battles and Deploy Missions, and 20 Unstable Iso-8 for Mini-Boss and Boss Battles.

In Special Operations 1, players were required to 5-star all missions to recruit Mockingbird. Starting with Special Operations 2, players were instead required to complete 25 (or 26) Tasks in order (as opposed to 5-starring all missions) to recruit a hero, or costume (SO 26). Some Spec Ops have Side Tasks that appear in the middle of tasks to recruit a hero.

The notification will appear each time you login the game until a player unlocks Special Operations.

As of now, there are 36 Special Operation Chapters.

Players can resume the current Spec Ops mission from Flight Deck directly by clicking an orange Resume button.
