How to Get Units in Marvel Rivals: Free Battle Pass Units, Events, Achievements and Lattice

Units are the blue currency in Marvel Rivals, and they have one job: buying costumes. Every hero and map is free, so Units are what stand between you and that Legendary skin you keep seeing in the lobby. The good news is that you don't have to pay for all of them. A steady trickle comes from the Battle Pass, events and achievements, and you can top up with Lattice when you're short.

This guide covers every current source of Units as of Season 10.5 (live since October 9, 2026), what they buy, and how to avoid wasting them. Season 11 is scheduled to start on November 13, 2026, and it brings a new Battle Pass, so check its reward pages once it's live.

Quick answer

Units buy costumes and costume bundles in the Store. The Battle Pass itself is priced in Lattice, not Units.

Requirements

• Marvel Rivals on PC, PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X|S. The game is free-to-play.
• Chrono Tokens to claim Battle Pass rewards. You earn them by completing daily, weekly and seasonal missions.
• For the Luxury track only: 990 Lattice for the season's Luxury Battle Pass.
• For conversion only: Lattice bought with real money. Standard pricing is $0.99 for 100 Lattice, scaling up to 11,680 Lattice for $99.99 on Steam in the US.

How to earn Units step by step

1. Play your daily and seasonal missions. Open the Battle Pass menu and check the mission tabs. Every completed mission pays out Chrono Tokens, the currency you spend to unlock Battle Pass rewards. Dailies are the most reliable drip, so log in and clear them even on days you only play a few matches.
2. Claim the Unit bundles on the free track. The Season 10 pass, "The Godbomb," has 12 pages. The free track holds four 100-Unit bundles, on pages 2, 4, 7 and 9, for 400 Units in total. Each costs 200 Chrono Tokens. The free track also has two 100-Lattice bundles, which you can convert into Units later if you want to.
3. Grab the extra Units from the Luxury track (optional). If you own the Luxury pass, two more 100-Unit bundles sit on pages 3 and 5, bringing the full pass to 600 Units. The Luxury track also returns several 100-Lattice bundles, which softens the cost of the pass. Unfinished Luxury rewards don't vanish when the season ends, per NetEase, so you can keep claiming them later.
4. Work through the Heroic Journey achievements. Open your profile (top right of the main menu) and go to the Achievements section. The Heroic Journey category rewards Units at point milestones and finishes with the Ivory Breeze costume for Storm. Many of its tasks are hero-specific, such as landing kills with particular hero pairings, so it's worth checking the list before you queue.
5. Jump on every limited-time event. Events are the biggest source of free Units, but each one works differently. The Summer Festival 2026, for example, paid out up to 2,500 Units across several activities in the Hellfire Bay Beach hub: logging in on seven days, taking and sharing photos at snapshot spots, and earning points through missions with friends. Smaller events often hand out more modest bundles for event missions. Check the Events tab every time a mid-season update lands.
6. Convert Lattice when you're short. In the Store, the Units balance at the top right lets you exchange Lattice for Units at 1:1. If you try to buy a costume without enough Units, the game also offers to convert the difference for you. The exchange only goes one way, so don't convert more than you need.

What Units buy

Units are spent in the Store and in each hero's costume menu. You can buy a costume on its own or as a bundle, which typically includes the costume plus an MVP animation, emote, spray and nameplate.

At the game's official launch pricing, standard bundles cost:

Prices for collaborations and special releases can differ, so always check the tag in the Store before you plan your savings. A few things are not bought with Units: the Battle Pass costs Lattice, and costume recolors (chromas) use a separate currency, Unstable Molecules.

How far free Units go

Put together, a free player can realistically count on the 400 Units from the free Battle Pass track each season, plus whatever the current events hand out. That alone won't buy a 1,600-Unit Epic bundle in one season, so the big event payouts are what really move the needle. Save your free Units instead of spending them as they arrive. Players who buy the Luxury pass get another 200 Units and a stack of Lattice that can be converted, which closes the gap faster.

Tips and common mistakes

• Letting event Units expire. Some event rewards are temporary Units with an expiry date. During the Summer Festival 2026, the 1,500 Units from the daily login rewards expired on July 10. Spend temporary Units before their timer runs out, or they're gone.
• Forgetting to claim Battle Pass rewards. Chrono Tokens don't turn into Units on their own. Open the pass and spend them on the Unit bundles.
• Converting too much Lattice. Units can't be turned back into Lattice, and you need Lattice for the Battle Pass. Convert only what a purchase actually needs.
• Ignoring Heroic Journey. These achievements are permanent and easy to forget. Picking up a few each week adds Units without extra grinding.
• Converting before checking events. Before spending Lattice to cover a shortfall, look at the Events tab. With Season 11 arriving on November 13, a free event bundle might close the gap for you.
• Expecting gameplay advantages. Costumes are purely cosmetic. Heroes, maps and gameplay content are all free, so spending Units never affects your stats.
