Marvel Rivals adds Venom Pick-Up Bundle and new Costume Coin currency 

Marvel Rivals' new Costume Coin currency, which comes with the Venom Pick-Up bundle, allows you to unlock one costume of your choice.

NetEase Games revealed its new Marvel Rivals Venom Pick-Up bundle which, in addition to the new Hyper Orange Venom skin and related cosmetics, awards players with Chrono Tokens and one Costume Coin. While veterans know Chrono Tokens as Marvel Rivals’ Battle Pass currency, the new Costume Coin currency allows players to unlock one costume of their choice. 

To clear up some confusion, the Venom Pick-Up bundle is a paid DLC pack that costs $2.99 USD. Purchasers immediately unlock the Hyper Orange Venom skin, which makes the antihero look like a swinging Fanta vending machine. They will then need to play three matches each day to earn the succeeding rewards (it’s not necessary to win the matches). 

One of the highlights of the Venom Pick-Up bundle is the Costume Coin. Players who earn Costume Coins will be able to exchange them for either an Epic-rarity costume or 100 Units in the new “Exchange” tab in the Store.  

Here are the items that are currently available in the Exchange tab of the in-game Store:

Most of the costumes that are available in the Exchange tab were released during the early months of Marvel Rivals. Recent cosmetics, such as Venom’s Lingering Imprint and Cloak and Dagger’s Twilight Duo costume set, are currently not found in the Exchange tab.

Players should take into consideration that Costume Coins only unlock costumes. For example, using a Costume Coin on Psylocke – Vengeance only unlocks her costume and not her Kiza emote, This Is My Way MVP screen, and Vengeance spray and nameplate that are tied to the Psylocke – Vengeance bundle. 

Considering the price difference between the $3 USD Pick-Up Bundle and an Epic-rarity bundle (the latter costs roughly $20 USD if you purchase the premium Lattice currency), the Venom Pick-Up bundle is worth it if you want the limited-time Venom costume and a costume that is available in the Store. 

Marvel Rivals is available for PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X|S.
