Season 2.5 has already brought the likes of new features like the Combat Chest, along with a variety of free and paid skins, new events, hero balance changes, new hero team-up abilities, and a lot of things. However, a whole new game mode revolving around the new character is the most exciting addition for sure. The all new Ultron's Battle Matrix Protocol game mode in Marvel Rivals Ultron's Battle Matrix Protocol is purely going to be a strategy-based game mode. | Image via NetEase Games. The newly unveiled game mode in Marvel Rivals is Ultron's Battle Matrix Protocol. This is a limited -time game mode as it will run from June 6 to June 23, 2025. Now, this new game mode comes with a twist. Unlike any other game mode in this hero shooting title where players are running around the battlefield for frags and proper usage of their particular abilities, Ultron's Battle Matrix Protocol is a lot different. This new game mode is now called by the fans as an auto-battler, where players will be put in a proper tactical grid against their enemies. Yes, it's true that the other game modes in Marvel Rivals seek strategy as well, but Battle Matrix Protocol is all about pure strategy, nothing else. In this single player game mode, a player has to analyse his team and assemble in a strategic formation to battle against the rival. That means, you don't have to be on the field, you need to set your team on the field in an auto-simulated battle. The rewards in this mode are going to be a bit different because once this game mode expires, those rewards are also going to leave from your inventories as well. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now However, it's still unclear if players will get Chrono Tokens, Lattice or Units via this game mode. In this mode, players have to pick each character for a six-person team, where they have to purchase Modules to modify the team before facing their rivals. Now, after the teams are modified, each character has to be placed strategically on a 6x4 battle grid to face their opponents. So, choosing the right characters and making a suitable team combination, picking up proper Modules, and appropriate strategic placement are the keys to dominate in this game mode. Read More:
