Marvel Rivals is continuing its first anniversary celebration with the Van Dyne's Grand Opening Event starting on December 4th! This new event introduces a gacha-style system where you can unlock the exclusive Psylocke Daring Daifuku legendary costume and other rewards by popping balloons. The event works differently from previous Marvel Rivals events, so let's break down how it works and what you can earn.
Van Dyne's Grand Opening Event Duration
The Van Dyne's Grand Opening Event starts on Thursday, December 4th at 4:00 AM EST.
How Van Dyne's Grand Opening Event Works
Van Dyne's Grand Opening is a gacha-style event that works differently from traditional battle passes events. Here's how the balloon popping system works:
- Each balloon contains one of six items (costume, spray, emote, MVP animation, nameplate, or emojis).
- You spend Units to pop balloons and unlock the items inside.
- Each balloon you pop increases the price for the next one.
- If you pull the "Jackpot" (Psylocke Daring Daifuku costume), you instantly get all remaining items for free.
- Once you unlock the costume, all other items are collected automatically.
All Van Dyne's Grand Opening Event Rewards
The event includes 6 total items you can unlock by popping balloons:
| Reward | Type |
|---|---|
| Psylocke Daring Daifuku Costume | Legendary Skin |
| Psylocke Spray | Cosmetic |
| Psylocke Emote | Cosmetic |
| Psylocke MVP Animation | Cosmetic |
| Psylocke Nameplate | Cosmetic |
| Psylocke Emojis | Cosmetic |
How to Get Psylocke Daring Daifuku Skin
To get the Psylocke Daring Daifuku skin, participate in the Van Dyne's Grand Opening balloon popping event by spending Units. Each balloon you pop reveals one of the six event items, and if you pull the Psylocke costume from any balloon, you automatically receive all remaining items for free. Your total cost depends on luck, ranging from 100 Units (if you get it on the first try) to a maximum of 2400 Units (if you pop all balloons).
