Marvel Rivals, the fast-growing hero shooter, features a battle pass system that rewards players with exclusive skins, emotes, and in-game currency as they progress through the season.
With both free and paid options, the battle pass is central to the game’s ongoing content and player engagement. Here’s how it works, what you can earn, and what makes it unique among live-service games.
Battle Pass Structure: Free and Luxury Tiers
Marvel Rivals offers two main types of battle passes each season:
- Free Battle Pass: Available to all players, this tier includes a selection of rewards—such as skins, sprays, and emotes—that can be unlocked without spending money.
- Luxury Battle Pass: This paid tier (costing about $10 or 990 Lattice, the premium currency) unlocks access to all available rewards, including premium skins and bonus in-game currency. There’s also a premium version of the Luxury Battle Pass, which costs 2,100 Lattice and provides extra Chrono Tokens and a 20% boost to Chrono Token earnings.
How to Progress and Claim Rewards
Progressing through the battle pass is based on earning Chrono Tokens, not traditional XP.
Here’s how it works:
- Chrono Tokens are the battle pass currency. You earn them by:
- Completing daily and weekly missions
- Finishing seasonal and event challenges
- (Optionally) Exchanging Lattice for Chrono Tokens, though this is not recommended due to high cost
- Unlocking Rewards: Most rewards cost 200 Chrono Tokens, while premium costumes can cost 400 Chrono Tokens. To unlock further pages of the battle pass, you need to cumulatively earn 1,200 Chrono Tokens per page, regardless of how many you’ve spent.
- Claiming Rewards: You must manually claim rewards by spending your earned Chrono Tokens on the items you want from the battle pass menu.
Seasonal Flexibility and Expiry
A standout feature of Marvel Rivals’ battle pass is that it never expires. Players can continue to work toward completing battle passes from previous seasons, allowing for a more relaxed pace and less fear of missing out. Additionally, most progress made on a battle pass can be carried over to subsequent seasons, so you can finish unlocking rewards even after the season ends.

Special and Returning Battle Passes
Occasionally, Marvel Rivals brings back past battle passes, such as the Season 0 Luxury Battle Pass, for a limited time. These returning passes are typically only available for purchase with premium currency and may not include free rewards. This gives new players a chance to earn cosmetics they missed, but with some restrictions.
What’s in the Battle Pass?
Rewards vary by season but typically include:
- Exclusive hero skins (such as Hellfire Gala-themed outfits)
- Emotes, sprays, and nameplates
- In-game currency (Lattice and Units)
- MVP intros and other cosmetics
Tips for Maximizing Your Battle Pass Progress
- Log in daily to complete missions for a steady stream of Chrono Tokens6.
- Focus on weekly and seasonal challenges for larger XP and token payouts.
- Remember to manually claim your rewards—tokens do not unlock items automatically.
- If you’re aiming for premium rewards, consider the Luxury Battle Pass for full access and bonus currency.
Conclusion
Marvel Rivals’ battle pass system is designed to reward consistent play and offers flexibility with its non-expiring passes and the ability to carry over progress. Whether you stick to the free tier or invest in the Luxury version, there’s a wide variety of cosmetics and bonuses to unlock, making the battle pass a central part of the Marvel Rivals experience.
