WOOT! Thanks, Cricket.
so... first problem... villains seem to be able to keep the Gladiators that now award just for heroes. Is this fair to all people involved? Is this worth the headache you're going to create with new villains demanding access to old badges (think Isolator only worse.)
New badges:
Recluse's Victory:
4 Exploration badges (found "Dark Victory/Temporal Fighter", "Last Stand" and "Globetrotter", missing "Ragnarok")
3 Badges for capturing Pillboxes (the first is for 10 Pillboxes)
3 Badges for piloting the "Heavies"
Badges for killing the Signature Heroes and Villains (6 for killing heroes, 5 for killing villains)
Grandville:
4 exploration badges
More stuff:
1 CoH Accolade (Task Force Commander)
New CoV accolades (heard of 2 so far: Megalomaniac & High Pain Treshold)

Is it worth the headache from people complaining if they have badges taken away?
I missed out on the chance to get Disruptor/Longbow Warden 2 when it was bugged and being awarded for completing a mission on my main villain. But I would never ask the devs to forcibly remove badges from people who did get it that way.
Really, I say live and let live on this one. Taking badges away from players sets a bad precedent, especially trivial gladiator ones. If it were an accolade or something more "loot"-ish, I could see a problem.

just to catch you all up, my lvl 20 brute got the new glad for being lvl 20. My main hero just got the new acolate TF commander, giving me an extra 5%HP. Four new Expoltation badges in RV. Their have been reports of contamanated in RV, so Isolator my be getable for older heros. Well thats what i can think of so far... add to the list.
There is also a badge for Toxic Tarantula kills, as a new progress bar has appeared.
This might tie in with the Tarantula gladiator Lord Recluse announced as being part of I7 a few months back.
He also confirmed that the Arachnoid gladiator is tied to 40+ content, so keep an eye out for him.

The Outbreak mobs do spawn in RV, saw it myself.

You need the six "numbered" TF badges (so Positron, Synapse, Sister Psyche, Citadel, Manticore, and Numina).

I'd have to go back and check, but I believe it offers a 10% buff to your HP and some new costume options.
I haven't checked the costume options yet.

It only offers a 5% boost to you max HP, but yes, it unlocks a costume piece, some military shoulder pads.

Any info yet about the requirements for these and the bonuses they give?

High Pain Treshold I was told gives a bonus to max hp, not sure how to get it though and I had not even heard of Megalomaniac.
Overlord explore badge in Grandville is on the NE corner of the map, just off the beach, on top of the bunker (don't have the exact coords on me at the moment).

Anyone got any screenies of the shoulder pads? I'm curious.

Megalomaniac is the villain version of Vanguard.
Incidentally, my hero has the TF Commander badge on test. When hitting Icon and checking out the epaulets, a couple were flagged as "evil". Between this and the comments about accolades having mirrors Villain-side, it's probable that the villains have an equivalent badge.

Not sure if this is where to put this or not. My woman in black and beautiful badges are now labeled as 'Hero_gender'.
FYI, apparently each of the Mayhem Mission zone maps has its own exploration badge that kicks in after you've spent enough time there. Judging by when I got mine, I'm guessing it's around half an hour? The one for Atlas Park (level 5 to 15?) is called Global Threat.

Actually I discovered an unlockable contact in Grandville last night. I think his name was Number 206...he was a Tarantula and he wanted me to kill Toxic Tarantulas to unlock him. So that's why they're being tracked.
