Season 1 of Marvel Rivals is off to an impressive start with two new heroes to learn, more maps, and a plethora of additional skins to pick up. Even if you have been playing since launch though, you might not be accustomed to some terminology that could be integral. One in-game phrase that many are being confused by is Recursive Destruction which has become more prominent in Season 1 due to the Midnight Features event. Here, we’ll explain exactly what Recursive Destruction is so you can box off any associated missions or change the map to your liking. What is Marvel Rivals Recursive Destruction and how to trigger it As you’ve been playing Marvel Rivals, you will have been destroying certain parts of the map to open up new areas and blowing down cover your opponents may be hiding behind. Recursive Destruction is essentially the opposite of that, rebuilding objects in the map to create new vantage points and potentially changing up key chokeholds. As we alluded to earlier, the Midnight Features event coupled with other challenges, sometimes asks you to trigger Recursive Destruction so learning how to do it is key. If you’re not sure what areas can be affected by Recursive Destruction, you’ll need to utilize Chrono Vision which can be activated by hitting the B key on your keyboard or right on the D-pad for controller. Upon doing so and locating an area of Recursive Destruction, the object will be highlighted in red and you’ll need to start attacking it to complete the process. Unfortunately, there is only one map that actually has Recursive Destruction elements — Midtown. This is the new map that has been introduced with Season 1 and is themed on New York City, featuring some pretty iconic comic book landmarks. To complete any Recursive Destruction associated missions, we recommend loading up a Quick Match (Midtown) match as you’ll only play on that specific map, as well as focusing on that large broken Iron Man suit as this is the easiest structure to build.

Fraudsters are attempting to dismantle built-in scam protections by Apple on iOS by tricking users into accepting dangerous links.  Given how much time we all spend on our mobile devices and how much of our lives are conducted online, including banking and paying bills, it is no surprise that threat actors are increasingly using smishing (SMS phishing) attacks on mobile numbers.  As an effective first line of defense against this type of activity, Apple embeds different tools for protection, one of which is to disable links from unknown contacts, whether it is a mobile number or email address. However, as conceded by Apple, if a person replies to a message or adds a contact, links will be enabled. As detailed by Bleeping Computer, cyber attackers are using a sneaky method to entice recipients to follow the links. Scammers are asking victims to reply to scam messages purporting to relate to delivery services or road toll charges.  “Please reply Y, then exit the text message, reopen the text message activation link, or copy the link to Safari browser to open it.” With many people very familiar with text prompt messages, the aim is to lure victims with the deception of a simple request and if accepted, the potentially dangerous links will be opened. At worst for the fraudsters, they will find out which numbers are likely to reply to these smishing attempts, likely leading to future attempts.  Be safe rather than sorry  If in doubt, do not comply with a request from an unknown number on your Apple device, especially if it contains links that look unfamiliar.  Don’t reply to such messages if it looks dubious, but if you are expecting contact from a delivery courier, contact them in a regular, safe way using official channels.  This will give you peace of mind as well as confirm if the text contact you received is legitimate or not.  Do not take a chance.
