SWGOH news: datacron

The team is aware of an infinite revival loop with Silvo, which occurs when a mechanic removes his Protection completely so he can no longer recover it, such as a datacron affix. A hotfix is planned for the next morning. Meanwhile, revival prevention stops the revives.

Asked whether the new Empire level 6 datacron is working as intended or a bug, CG Meathead said he believes it has been marked as a bug and that he would go check.

CG Meathead said a hotfix is likely to land tomorrow to address the Solo Carson datacron issue.
