How to Get Skins for Free in Marvel Rivals
💡 If you don’t want to spend real money, here’s how you can still get some skins:
1️⃣ Grind for Units – Complete missions & achievements to earn free Units.
2️⃣ Use Lattice for Discounts – If you're short on Units, convert a small amount of Lattice instead of buying everything outright.
3️⃣ Battle Pass Strategy – Buy the Battle Pass for 1000 Units ($10) and unlock multiple skins over time.
4️⃣ Wait for Events – Limited-time events sometimes give free Units or skins.
While free-to-play players can earn some cosmetics, the rarest and most exclusive skins will likely require spending real money.
