Marvel Rivals has an in-game store full of skins you can purchase, but there are also plenty of free costumes to unlock if you know where to look.
Just like Overwatch and other online shooters, Marvel Rivals is completely free to play, making money from in-game purchases rather than charging an entry fee. With this in mind, if you want most of the Battle Pass rewards or colorful costumes for your favorite characters, you usually have to pay for the privilege.
However, there is also a selection of skins that are available at no extra cost. So, here’s a breakdown of every free skin and how to get them in Season 1.

How to free skins in Marvel Rivals
There are plenty of different ways to get free skins in Marvel Rivals, but the two most common are from the Battle Pass or Heroic Achievements. Each new Battle Pass, including the Season 1 pass that dropped on January 10, features some free costumes that are even available to those who don’t buy the premium version.
Meanwhile, you can also get free Storm and Star-Lord skins by earning Heroic Achievement points for completing specific challenges. However, these don’t rotate, so once you’ve unlocked both, there are no more to get.
Here’s a full list of all the different ways you can get costumes without spending money:
