Are you looking to grab some free skins in Marvel Rivals without spending money? You're in luck! Marvel Rivals offers plenty of opportunities to collect free Units, especially for new players. The game's economy can be confusing at first, especially with three different currencies to keep track of.
Many players don't realize just how many free Units are actually available if you know where to look. I've gathered all the current ways to earn free Units during Season 2, so you can start building your collection right away.
What Are Units in Marvel Rivals?
Before diving into how to get them, let's quickly understand what Units are. Marked by their blue coin icon, Units are one of the three main currencies in Marvel Rivals (alongside lattice-101 and Chrono Tokens). They're primarily used to purchase cosmetic items and hero skins from the in-game Store. The best part? Unlike Lattice (the premium currency), Units can be earned entirely through gameplay without spending.
How to Get Free Units in Marvel Rivals Season 2
Season 2 offers several ways to collect Units without opening your wallet. Here's a complete breakdown of every free Unit source currently available:
Achievements
The most consistent source of Units comes from completing various achievement paths:
- Heroic Journey - This achievement path is a goldmine, offering 1,500 Units in total. These achievements typically involve playing different heroes and mastering various gameplay mechanics.
- Chronoverse Saga - Another valuable achievement path that rewards 400 Units. Make sure to check what's required and work on these alongside your regular matches.
Account Linking and Special Codes
Several one-time opportunities provide quick Unit boosts:
- Discord Account Linking - Connect your Marvel Rivals account to Discord to receive 100 Units. This is a one-time reward that takes just a few minutes to complete.
- Assemble Code - Marvel Rivals offers an "Assemble Code" system that rewards 300 Units when a friend who you have invited and who has used your code reaches level 10.
- NGP Membership - Signing up for the NGP membership program grants 100 Units.
Marvel Rivals Season 2 Battle Pass Rewards
Even the free track of the Season 2 Battle Pass contains several Unit rewards spread across different pages:
- Page 5 - 100 Units (plus 100 Lattice)
- Page 7 - 100 Units
- Page 9 - 100 Units
- Page 10 - 100 Units (plus 100 Lattice)
That adds up to 400 free Units just from progressing through the Battle Pass, not counting the bonus Lattice. Remember that Battle Pass progression requires Chrono Tokens, which you earn from completing daily and weekly missions.
Converting Lattice to Units
If you happen to have some Lattice (the premium gold coin currency), you can convert it directly to Units at a 1:1 ratio. This means every 1 Lattice equals 1 Unit. While Lattice typically requires real money, you can get small amounts for free through the Battle Pass (as noted above).
Current Limited-Time Events
Here are the units that you can earn right now in-game through on going events:
- Cerebro Database - The first set of Cerebro Files rewards 75 Units upon completion.
Keep in mind that events rotate throughout the season, so additional Unit-earning opportunities may appear as Season 2 progresses.
With all these sources combined, Season 2 offers well over 2,500 free Units for new players willing to complete various activities. That's nearly enough for two premium skins or multiple smaller cosmetic items without spending any real money.
Even if you're an old player who has already completed most of the achievement paths and one-time rewards from previous seasons, you can still earn over 500 free Units in Season 2 through the Battle Pass rewards, ongoing events like Cerebro Files, and any new limited-time events that appear throughout the season.
