How long is Marvel Rivals season 7.5?

Season 7.5 of Marvel Rivals will be about one month long, as has been the norm for all past recent seasons. The exact length of seasons sometimes varies by a few days, but generally, they’re approximately a month in length, so this one will be, too.

This season is the second half of the larger season seven update, making the full season roughly two months long. When season 7.5 ends, season eight will begin, launching yet another fresh season packed with content.

• Black Cat as a new playable hero.
• A new map.
• New Team-Up changes and additions.

Windrose‘s map might appear pretty small at first, but it expands quickly once you explore new areas. After a certain point, traveling from one point to another will take a lot of time, whether you travel the distance on land or by ship.

Thankfully, there’s a pretty elaborate fast travel system that’s been added from the demo to the early access version.

How does fast travel work in Windrose

If you’ve played the demo of Windrose, you’ll be pretty well aware of the system in place. If you’re someone completely new, read on. Once you’ve completed the first quest and started How My Shore Adventure Began (can’t miss as it’s part of the main story), you’ll be able to smelt your first copper ingot.

Once you know how to get Copper Ingot, you’ll be able to make a Fast Travel Bell using the Workbench. You’ll need 10 Copper Ingots and three Ropes to create a bell. Incidentally, you can also get Fast Travel Bell as random loot.

To set up a network, you’ll also need to create a Fast Travel Point. You can do that from the build menu. To create a Fast Travel Point, you’ll need 20 Wood and one Fast Travel Bell.

Before you can fast travel, you’ll need at least two points in two different locations. You can create two points on the same island, but they have to be distant from one another. Fast Travel Points can only be placed near water.

When you’re on your ship, you can fast travel from any location by selecting the point. This works as long as you’re not being chased by an enemy or in active combat. If you’re walking on foot, you’ll have to travel to a Fast Travel Point manually. I am unsure as to why the system works like this, but it is what it is.

Additionally, you can also find random Fast Travel Points existing in several locations. The different faction islands also have them, and you can use those after activating them by manually traveling to those locations. Once done, those travel points will be automatically added to your network.
