NetEase Games has acknowledged that the apparent Peni Parker's Perdu Predicament’ fix in the Marvel Rivals March 13 update is not functioning as intended but is a bug that they are working to fix. Earlier in the Season, the developers targeted a Peni Parker exploit that made her Arachno-Mines remain invisible even outside the Cyber-Webs. This made her kit extremely overpowered as enemies couldn’t spot these mines no matter what.
On March 13, NetEase Games rolled out an update that addressed this issue. The official fix stated the following:
Peni Parker's Perdu Predicament: Fixed an issue where Peni's Arachno-Mines would become invisible when brushing over Cyber-Webs but landing outside of them. Now, her traps beyond webs remain visible, ensuring enemies are aware of the sticky situation!”
However, the adjustments seem to have been over-corrected and resulted in an unintended behaviour of the Arachno-Mines making it completely useless. NetEase games has since released a statement on their Discord server saying that they are working a fix for the same.

It seems that even when entering her Cyber-Web, the mines can still be attacked and destroyed during their burrowing and explosive phases, which is definitely impacting her gameplay experience. We recognize this as a bug.
“The correct behavior should be that once the Arachno-Mines are within her Cyber-Web, they remain invulnerable and cannot be destroyed. Outside her Cyber-Web, they should be destructible as normal.
