How to Get the Free Thor Avengers Skin in Marvel Rivals

The short answer: play matches, earn event XP, and hit Tier 18 in the Infinity Finale event pass. That's all it takes to unlock the Thor 'The Avengers' costume in Marvel Rivals for free. No Lattice, no premium purchase. The pass went live on October 9, 2026, alongside the Avengers: Infinity War PvP mode, and runs until December 6, 2026, at 9 AM UTC.

How does the Infinity Finale event pass work?

The Infinity Finale event pass contains 24 cosmetic rewards split across a free track and a premium VIP track. You progress through both tracks by playing matches and accumulating event XP. There are no side challenges or daily missions to juggle. Every match you play moves the needle.

The free track covers 12 rewards. The premium track holds the other 12 and requires a separate purchase to access. Buying the VIP pass does not skip tiers. You still need to earn your way through the pass by playing regardless of what you spend.

How to unlock Thor's The Avengers costume for free

Here's the step-by-step:

1. Log into Marvel Rivals and open the Infinity Finale event pass from the main menu.
2. Play matches in any mode to earn event XP.
3. Accumulate enough XP to reach Tier 18 on the pass.
4. Claim the Thor 'The Avengers' Costume reward once you hit that tier.
5. Equip it through Thor's hero loadout under the cosmetics tab.

If the skin isn't showing in Thor's loadout yet, check your current event tier. You're not at 18 yet.

What else comes free with the Thor bundle?

Reaching Tier 18 gets you the costume, but several other free Thor and Avengers-themed cosmetics sit on the free track alongside it. After testing the pass across multiple sessions, here's what you can collect without spending a cent:

• The Avengers Nameplate
• The Avengers Spray
• Thor Thunderous Retribution MVP animation
• Legendary Shawarma Emote
• Godbomb Collectables
• Doomsday Is Near Gallery Card
• Fall of Set Spray
• March of the Monster King Nameplate
• Avengers: Infinity War Spray
• Avengers: Infinity War Nameplate

That's a solid haul for free-to-play players. The Shawarma Emote in particular is a nice touch for anyone who caught the post-credits scene reference.

Is the premium VIP pass worth buying?

The VIP pass costs 990 Lattice, which works out to roughly $10. That unlocks the premium track, which includes the two headline skins that aren't available for free: Black Panther's Avengers: Infinity War costume and Doctor Strange's Avengers: Infinity War costume.

Both are direct MCU film-inspired designs based on the 2018 movie. If you play either hero regularly, those costumes are genuinely good. The rest of the premium track is mostly cosmetic extras.

What else is new in Season 10.5?

The Infinity Finale event pass is just one piece of the Season 10.5 update. NetEase also added the Path to Doomsday: Avengers: Infinity War PvP mode, where 12 players form 6 duo squads and race to collect all 6 Infinity Stones. The first duo to control all 6 wins. It's a different format from standard modes and worth trying while it's live.

A Times Square activity runs from October 9 to October 22, 2026. Watching Avengers: Infinity War clips for 2 minutes in-game unlocks a free gallery card. Quick and painless.

Season 10.5 runs until November 13, 2026, when Season 11 begins. The Infinity Finale event pass itself, however, extends past the season end to December 6, 2026, giving you extra time to hit Tier 18 even if you take a break during the season transition.

Common mistakes players make with event passes

The mistake most players make is ignoring the pass until the final week, then realizing they don't have enough time to reach Tier 18. With nearly two months of runtime, consistent play across a few sessions per week is all you need. You don't have to no-life it.

The other common error is buying the VIP pass expecting to unlock Doctor Strange and Black Panther's costumes immediately. The premium track still requires tier progression. Spending 990 Lattice just opens the track. The grind is the same.

If you're primarily after Thor's free skin, skip the premium purchase entirely. The 990 Lattice is only worth spending if you genuinely want the Black Panther or Doctor Strange Infinity War costumes.

What other free skins are available right now?

The Thor costume isn't the only free skin active in Marvel Rivals at the moment. The Season 10 Battle Pass free track includes skins for Hawkeye (Page 4) and Groot (Page 10), both expiring November 13, 2026. The Iron Fist Sword Master skin is available through the PlayStation Plus 2026 Q3 Bundle until November 19, 2026.

For players who missed earlier events, the Galacta's Gift Vol. 3 event offers a free Costume Coin redeemable for one of 58 skins with no expiry date. That's one of the better permanent freebies in the game right now.
