How to Complete the Cerebro Database II in Marvel Rivals
Similar to the original Cerebro Database event, you don’t need to complete every single mission to earn the rewards. Just complete three straight lines on each character’s challenge board to get the most rewards without spending too much time. We recommend that you focus on these general strategies that typically appear in Cerebro Database events:
- Practice with featured characters – Each board will likely have character-specific missions.
- Play multiple game modes – Missions usually span Quick Match, Competitive, and Practice vs AI.
- Focus on team objectives – Assists, damage dealt, and match completions are common requirements.
- Check “View Challenge” missions – These provide instant completions just for opening the page.
Note: This guide will be continuously updated with detailed mission information as each challenge board unlocks. Check back regularly for the latest strategies and tips!
