Injustice 2 1.16 patch notes are crucial for getting the upper hand. Whether you just want to know whether Superman can outrun The Flash’s lightning-fast fists, or you’re heavily into the competitive scene, these details from the Injustice 2 February update could prove to be a hammer blow to any opponent who’s unlucky enough to cross your path.
It’s worth pointing out that these patch notes, all taken from the Injustice 2 subreddit are unofficial. NetherRealms has not released official 1.16 patch notes as of writing. This post will be updated with those as soon as they are released. Huge kudos must go to SMGxPrincess for putting this list together, having taken the information from the developer’s Twitch stream.
Injustice 2 Patch Notes February
Hellboy

TL;DR? If you’re a Hellboy main or like to cave in skulls with Catwoman then you might want to look elsewhere. Buffs to Sub-Zero, Gorilla Grodd and Poison Ivy make them much more viable alternatives if you wish to supercharge your playstyle. Or do as I do: spam Batman’s Batarangs. It. Never. Fails.
