Marvel Rivals players have encountered a major issue with Peni Parker's Arachno-Mines. These mines, which were supposed to be invulnerable within her Cyber-Web, were surprisingly vulnerable to enemy attacks during the burrowing and exploding phases. This vulnerability hampered gameplay, reducing Peni Parker's usefulness on the battlefield.
