In Marvel Rivals, players can earn free skins through different in-game activities. Here’s how you can expand your collection without spending real money.

Redeeming Platform Add-Ons

Some skins are exclusive to specific platforms. PlayStation, Xbox, and PC users may get free skins by downloading promotional add-ons from their respective stores. For example, PlayStation players can claim Spider-Man’s Scarlet Spider skin by downloading a free add-on from the PlayStation Store.

Using In-Game Codes

Developers sometimes release redemption codes that unlock free skins. To claim these, navigate to the in-game store or redemption section, enter the code, and receive the skin instantly. A recent example is Iron Man’s Armor Model 42, which can be redeemed using the code nwarh4k3xqy before March 5, 2025.

Progressing Through the Battle Pass

The game’s Battle Pass includes free rewards alongside its premium track. Some skins are available at specific levels for free. For instance, Scarlet Witch’s Emporium Matron skin is unlocked by reaching Page 9 in the Season 1 Battle Pass, while Peni Parker’s Blue Tarantula skin is available on Page 3.

Playing Competitive Mode

Reaching higher ranks in Competitive mode can reward exclusive skins. Players who reach Gold rank during Season 1 will receive Invisible Woman’s Blood Shield skin, with an expiration date of April 11, 2025.

Participating in Limited-Time Events

Many free skins are tied to special in-game events. These events typically require players to complete challenges, earn event currency, or reach certain milestones. Thor’s Reborn from Ragnarok skin was available through the Midnight Features event, which ended on February 7, 2025.

Earning Heroic Achievement Points

Completing in-game challenges awards Heroic Achievement Points, which can unlock skins. Players who earn 400 Heroic Achievement Points can claim Star-Lord’s Jovial Star skin, while 200 Heroic Achievement Points unlocks Storm’s Ivory Breeze skin.

Watching Twitch Drops

Occasionally, Marvel Rivals offers free skins to players who watch streams with Twitch Drops enabled. In the past, watching four hours of eligible streams unlocked Hela’s Will of Galacta skin before January 25, 2025.

Expired Skins

Some skins were available for a limited time and can no longer be obtained. For example:

Star-Lord’s Lion’s Mane skin required earning 900 Paints in the Fortune and Colors Event (expired February 14, 2025).
Moon Knight’s Golden Moonlight skin was awarded for reaching Gold rank in Season 0 (expired January 10, 2025).
Venom’s Cyan Clash skin was given to players who completed the Galacta Quest Pass and reached Level 30 during the Closed Beta (expired February 7, 2025).
