We've got a new featured location in Marvel Snap and it's Gamma Lab!

  • Gamma Lab - After turn 3, transform all cards here into The Hulk.

Gamma Lab is a completely new location being added to Marvel Snap as part of the August Season: Heroes for Hire. After turn 3, any cards at Gamma Lab transform into The Hulk.

Transforming a bunch of small characters into an 11 Power green monster sounds pretty appealing, so it looks like the best way to take advantage of the effect of Gamma Labs is to pack your deck full of cheap cards like Wasp and Yellowjacket so you can play a bunch fo them early, then get a huge power boost after they transform into The Hulk. You could even run Venom for an additional way to make use of all that extra Power while opening up space to cement a win at the Location, or Shang-Chi if you feel like ruining your opponent's fun.

However you choose to plan for the new location, you'd better get used to it; being a featured location means that Gamma Lab will show up 40% more frequently for 48 hours, from 8 PM PT Tuesday night to 8 PM PT Thursday night.

What Are Featured Locations in Marvel Snap?

There are two different types of location events in Marvel Snap.

  • Sunday's hot location that appears 60% more frequently for the next 24 hours.
  • Wednesday's featured location that appears 40% more frequently for the next 48 hours.

This helps pave way for new deckbuilding strategies as you may want to be playing something else should the bonus better benefit cards you aren't playing with. For example, we've seen this previously with the featured location, Monster Island, whose boosted appearances meant many players ran Shang-Chi to destroy the 9 Power Monster.

As announced in the developer livestream, Marvel Snap will be getting a brand new location every week and it will be featured when it is added, as we're seeing now with Gamma Lab.
