As part of the wider content roadmap for Marvel’s Avengers, the Black Widow-themed Red Room Takeover event promises to shake up the game’s HARM Rooms up a bit with some challenges, while also providing players with some killer cosmetics. It turns out that this event is being split up into two parts, the first being called Rooskaya Protocols. This part of the event introduces a number of Hero-specific Mission Chains as you uncover a mysterious computer virus that is infecting AIM Synthoids.
Rooskaya Protocols Mission Chains
Each of these Mission Chains involves a specific playable Hero and either a location or mission type in the game. Overall, you will have to collect Rooskaya Protocol Chips from fallen Synthoids during battle, and Black Widow has to be a member of your strike team.
