Marvel Rivals has been creating a buzz, thanks to its ever-expanding lineup of heroes, jaw-dropping skins, and action-packed maps. But one big question lingers for any free-to-play game: how does the money side of things work?
The devs recently spilled the beans in a blog post, giving us all the juicy details about currencies, skin prices, and their Battle Pass system. Let’s break it all down in a fun way!
Meet the Marvel Rivals Currencies
Marvel Rivals keeps it simple with three unique currencies, each designed to make your gameplay experience smoother (and cooler):
1. Units – The Freebie Currency
- How to Get Them: Earn Units through missions, achievements, events, or the free Battle Pass.
- What They’re For: Buy skins, bundles, and other goodies in the shop.
Units are perfect for players who like unlocking cosmetics without dropping real cash.
2. Lattice – The Premium Big Spender Currency
- How to Get Them: Purchase with real money or snag a few from the Battle Pass.
- What They’re For: Think high-end purchases. Plus, you can convert Lattice into Units at a 1:1 ratio for ultimate flexibility!
Lattice Pricing Breakdown:
- $0.99 = 100 Lattice
- $99.99 = 11,680 Lattice
3. Chrono Tokens – The Battle Pass Goodie Unlocker
- How to Get Them: Complete in-game tasks and events.
- What They’re For: Unlock rewards in both the free and premium Battle Pass tiers.
Chrono Tokens make the Battle Pass grind extra rewarding!
Let’s Talk Skins and Bundles
Cosmetics are the heart of Marvel Rivals, and the game doesn’t disappoint. You can grab skins individually or as part of discounted bundles.
Bundle Pricing Breakdown:
| Bundle Type | Cost (Units) | Value (Units) | Discount |
|---|---|---|---|
| Epic-Quality Bundle | 1,600 | 2,200 | 28% |
| MCU Epic-Quality Bundle | 1,800 | 2,400 | 25% |
| Legendary-Quality Bundle | 2,400 | 3,300 | 28% |
What’s Inside a Bundle?
Each bundle packs a punch with:
