How to start the Shattered Space DLC

Once you've bought and downloaded the Shattered Space DLC, you are ready to begin.

Step 1: On a new or existing save file, make sure you've completed the mission called One Small Step. This is the first mission in the game that introduces you to Constellation and only takes you around an hour if you haven't done it yet.

Step 2: Enter your ship and choose any orbit on the map that does not have an active mission associated with it.

Step 3: Jump to that location and you will automatically get a distress call from a space station called The Oracle and prompt you to begin the DLC.

While you can start the DLC at any time, it is recommended that you wait until at least level 35 or higher.

The game needs to make money somehow, right? Since all heroes, maps, and other substantial updates will all be free, that leaves cosmetics that will cost you one of the game's two forms of cash: Units and Lattice. Lattice is the gold, premium currency that allows you to buy the greatest things in the game, such as the battle pass. Some games give you alternate ways to earn all its currencies, while others force you to open your wallet if you want those goodies. Let's see how Marvel Rivals handles its premium currency.
