Understanding Currency in Marvel Rivals Season 2
Marvel Rivals offers a variety of cosmetic items, each purchasable via different types of in-game currency, such as Chrono Tokens, Units, and Lattice. With the start of Season 2, the methods for earning these currencies have changed. Some currencies are now easier to acquire, while others may be a bit more challenging. To maximize your earnings without spending too much real money, it’s essential to be aware of the new updates.
Chrono Tokens (purple), Units (blue), and Lattice (gold) can all be obtained simply by participating in matches. However, the second season has introduced significant changes to characters and the overall reward system that impacts how you earn these currencies. While some aspects remain familiar, you’ll need to adapt your strategy to effectively gather the most currency.
How to Earn Chrono Tokens in Season 2
Complete Missions and Participate in Events
The purple Chrono Tokens are primarily used to acquire items from the new Hellfire Gala Battle Pass. This Battle Pass includes 11 pages of rewards featuring a plethora of new skins for your favorite characters, but you’ll need to accumulate a specific number of Tokens to unlock each new page. Rewards from both the Free and Luxury versions of the Pass are only available in exchange for the Chrono Tokens you collect.
Going into Season 2, here are some effective ways to earn Chrono Tokens:
- Finish Daily Missions
- Complete Weekly Missions
- Achieve reward tiers in various events
- Complete unique challenges within matches
Daily and Weekly missions have been revamped for the new season, presenting more straightforward objectives than those seen in previous seasons. Daily missions may involve simple actions, such as using specific Sprays or supporting your teammates with upvotes after a match, with each mission rewarding you roughly 30 Chrono Tokens.
Events consistently provide opportunities to earn Chrono Tokens by completing objectives tied to event themes. For instance, the new Cerebro Database event focuses on Emma Frost, a new character introduced this season.
Weekly Missions have shifted from heavily character-specific tasks to more streamlined goals that reward you for actions like finishing matches, winning games, dealing damage, or taking damage. Although completing these missions may take longer, the Chrono Tokens earned are generally more substantial.
Challenges introduce a new dimension to rewards, following a similar format to previous Weekly Missions. Some challenges will require you to play specific characters or fulfill particular roles, which encourages experimentation. For example, you might need to deal damage as a Duelist or deliver healing as a Strategist.
How to Earn Units in Season 2
Participate in Events and Exchange Currency
While Chrono Tokens can be used for Battle Pass items, Units serve as the blue currency used to buy skins for your characters. With many new skins available this season, you’ll need a healthy supply of Units for some of the pricier cosmetics.
Here are some common methods to earn Units in Marvel Rivals:
- Complete various event objectives
- Exchange leftover Chrono Tokens for Units after finishing the Battle Pass
- Convert Lattice into Units through purchases
Events are among the easiest ways to accumulate Units, often providing small amounts of Units for completing objectives. For example, finishing a character profile during the Season 2 Cerebro Database event grants you 75 Units.
A new feature introduced in Season 1.5 allows you to exchange Chrono Tokens for Units after completing every page of the Battle Pass. Once you reach the final rewards page, you can trade in 1,000 Chrono Tokens for 100 Units.
It may take some time to gather enough Chrono Tokens to convert into Units, but this method provides a no-cost way to accumulate more Units. Normally, after completing the Battle Pass, Chrono Tokens have limited use, but with this new option, maintaining your Token earnings becomes more valuable.
How to Earn Lattice in Season 2
Purchase To Acquire
The third currency, Lattice, is represented by gold. Unfortunately, there are no new avenues for earning Lattice this season; it still can’t be earned through in-game objectives. Players must spend real money to acquire Lattice to purchase skins and other cosmetics.
You can earn Lattice through the Season 2 Battle Pass on specific pages that offer Lattice in exchange for Chrono Tokens. Some pages allow you to obtain 100 Lattice for 200 Chrono Tokens, making it an accessible way to boost your funds for purchases.
If you’re not keen on spending real money for Lattice, consider obtaining the Costume Coin from the ongoing Pick-Up Bundle in Marvel Rivals. This coin allows you to claim one costume from a select list at no cost.
Different amounts of Lattice are available for purchase in the store for real-world money, providing a last-resort option for those eager for a particular cosmetic. However, by mastering how to earn substantial amounts of Chrono Tokens and Units, players can reduce their reliance on buying Lattice for their desired items in Marvel Rivals.
