## Summary

Insomniac has released PS5 patch 1.001.006 for Marvel’s Wolverine, adding an option to disable scent trails and indicators that guide players towards collectibles. The change responds to criticism of the game’s prominent guidance system and expands on an earlier update that only reduced the trail’s intensity.

The setting removes purple roots near Nightmare Doors, audio alerts for Material Crates and scent trails leading to Whisky Bottles, while story-related trails remain active. The indicators are expected to remain enabled by default and can be switched off from the pause menu; the patch also fixes other unspecified issues.
