New on the Market

Last week, Episode 2 of the Signature Story Arc "Who Will Die?" was released, along with a Firefighter's helmet. This week, a Halloween Costume Bundle was released, which is a limited-time offer of themed pieces to complete your vampire, fish monster, or "brain in a jar" characters. Included is a wicked "Bats" aura that can also be earned in the upcoming Halloween Event trial accessible through the Team-Up Teleporter. These individual or bundled costume pieces are only available until November 18, 2011!

Street Justice Power Set Now Available

Break shins, and throw upper cuts and knee strikes to rule the streets with this new melee power set for melee archetypes. The new power set Street Justice is now available from the Paragon Market. It "delivers punishing bone crushing attacks that weaken, disable or otherwise hinder their foes," and allows multiple combinations for additional effects.

Street Justice is primary power set for Scrappers, Brutes, and Stalkers, and a secondary power set for Tankers. Cost is 800 points. See the official announcement here.
