The folks at NetherRealm Studios dropped a surprise Mortal Kombat X update this morning on both PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. This ver.1.13 patch brings with it a number of changes, both general and character-specific. As is often the case, the Kombat Pack 2 newcomers were the targets of many adjustments, especially Triborg, who saw frame data changed across every variation.
In addition to balance tweaking, the update also fixes a number of bugs, and certain parry X-Rays will no longer be broken by multiple attacks hitting at once. Check out the full list of changes below and let us know what you think.
