The Path to Doomsday event has kicked off in Marvel Rivals, and the first chapter is themed around The Avengers. Two free rewards are up for grabs before May 29, 2026, and neither requires grinding ranked matches or spending a single cent. The catch is that the process for claiming them isn't obvious from the main menu. Here's exactly where to go and what to do.
What free rewards are available in the Avengers event?
There are two rewards tied to the Path to Doomsday: The Avengers event, and both are found inside Times Square, which has been redesigned for the occasion. The area now features a red carpet, multiple Photo Op stations, and a dedicated screening area showing an Avengers highlight reel of the Battle for New York.
Here's a quick breakdown of what's on offer:
Units are the currency used in the Marvel Rivals store to purchase skins and cosmetic bundles. Even 100 free Units is worth picking up if you're planning any future purchases.
Path to Doomsday reward overview
How to claim 100 free Units
This one takes about 30 seconds once you're in Times Square. Approach any of the Photo Op stations scattered around the area. Each station has a character silhouette you can step into. Interact with it, and your hero will take that character's pose using your currently equipped skin. Once you're positioned and ready, take a screenshot. A pop-up will appear confirming you've received 100 Units.
That's the whole process. No match requirements, no daily login streak needed.
Equip your favorite skin before heading to the Photo Op so the screenshot actually looks good. The pop-up triggers on the screenshot action itself, not on any specific character choice.
How to get the Gallery Card: The Avengers
The Gallery Card: The Avengers requires a bit more timing. Head to the Screening area in Times Square and find a seat while the Avengers Highlights are playing. The screenings don't run continuously; Doomsday teasers fill the gaps between them. You need to watch for 2 consecutive minutes during an Avengers showing to unlock the card.
Avengers screening schedule
According to Insider Gaming's coverage of the event, the Avengers highlights play at these times each day:
- 12 PM PT
- 4 PM PT
- 6 PM PT
- 8 PM PT
If you arrive at the Screening during one of these windows, sit down and wait out the two minutes. The Gallery Card reward triggers automatically once the timer is satisfied.
Arriving between scheduled showtimes means you'll see Doomsday teasers instead of the Avengers reel, and those minutes won't count toward your 2-minute requirement. Check the clock before heading in.
When does the Avengers event end?
The Path to Doomsday: The Avengers event runs until May 29, 2026, at 3 AM PT. That gives you just under a month to grab both rewards. The limited-time Avengers game mode, where a powerful Loki faces off against the original six Avengers, also runs through the same end date.
More Path to Doomsday events are expected to follow in the lead-up to the Doomsday film release, with each new chapter likely bringing its own set of free rewards in a similar format.
