Discover every free costume available in Marvel Rivals and learn the best ways to snag them.
Marvel Rivals pulls together heroes and villains from across the Marvel Universe, and it offers tons of customization options through skins – called “Costumes” in-game. While many of these look great but require real money, there’s a solid batch of free skins you can unlock without spending a dime.
Since launch, NetEase has steadily rolled out free skins via achievements, Battle Pass progression, and special events. Some are always available, while others pop up for limited times only. This guide breaks down every free Marvel Rivals skin you can grab right now, plus how to claim them before they disappear.

How to Snag Free Skins in Marvel Rivals
You don’t need to spend a penny to deck out your characters. Here’s how to earn free costumes:
Battle Pass Free Tiers: You can still earn rewards on the free track by playing and leveling up, even without buying the premium pass. For example, Season 1’s free tier gave skins like Blue Tarantula for Peni Parker.
Competitive Rewards: Climb to Gold rank or above in Competitive mode to earn exclusive skins. Last season, hitting Gold unlocked Blood Shield for Invisible Woman.
Heroic Journey Achievements: Tackle challenges in the Heroic Journey mode to rack up points. At 200 points, you unlock Ivory Breeze for Storm; at 400 points, Jovial Star for Star-Lord. These rewards don’t expire, so no rush!
In-Game Events: Marvel Rivals regularly hosts events that offer free skins for completing special tasks or playing certain modes. These are usually time-limited.
Redeem Codes: From time to time, special promo codes pop up for free items. You can redeem codes by navigating to Settings > Account > Redeem Code in-game.
Platform-Specific Bonuses: Some skins are exclusive to certain platforms, like the Scarlet Spider skin available for free on the PlayStation Store.
Pro Tips
Stay up to date by checking the game’s news feed, following Marvel Rivals’ official social channels, and watching for in-game announcements. Time-limited skins are rarely reissued, so grab your favorites while you still can. A new season means fresh rewards – but once Season 2.5 ends, the current freebies will vanish for good.
