Venom inMarvel Rivalsgains a new skin and a secret emote in the sudden April Fool’s update for the game, giving the symbiote new cosmetics for you to collect. The Hyper Orange skin and Symbiote Boogie emote are both gained in different ways, with one being free and the other tied to a one-time purchase. These additions are very easy to obtain, making them worth grabbing.
Hyper Orange stands out as a reference to a secret character in the originalMarvel vs Capcomarcade game. While the Cyan Venom look inMarvel Rivalsfrom the beta harkens back to Venom’s original appearance in the iconic fighting game, Hyper Orange is actually inspired by the infamous"Red Venom.“This version of Venom had increased power and speed, acting as a"Hyper"version of the base roster character.
How To Unlock The Hyper Orange Venom Skin
Purchase The New In-Game Bundle
There are two ways to unlock the Hyper Orange skin for Venom, including:
The Pick-Up Bundle is the easiest way to get the new Venom skin, as you unlock the costume for free when you buy the Bundle. This Bundle is a new collection of rewards being offered, similar to the seasonal Battle Pass, but for a much cheaper price. You canget the Pick-Up Bundle for $2.99 in the Storeand grab the Venom skin automatically once you confirm the purchase.
To find the Pick-Up Bundle, you can either click on the event when it shows up on the main menu or go to the new"Exchange"menu of the Store. A large prompt should show you the Bundle, which features several different rewards.
Once you buy the Pick-Up Bundle, you’re able to complete challenges to earn rewards, including Chrono Tokens and a new Costume Coin that lets you buy an additional free skin. For those who have no use for Tokens though, itmay be easier to just spend excess Unitsto purchase thenew skin inMarvel Rivalson its own without having to work for the Nameplate and Spray tied to it.
How To Unlock The Symbiote Boogie Emote
Gain An Interesting Dance For The Lethal Protector
The far sillier cosmetic for Venom available in the game is the Symbiote Boogie emote, where Venom dances in the heat of battle. This absurdemote goes on for as long as you wantonce you activate it, creating a hilarious animation for the normally intimidating character. In my experience, I’ve found this emote to be an excellent way to taunt enemies I’ve eliminated during intense matches.
Marvel Rivals Players React To The New April Fool’s Emote Breaking Their Brains
For April Fool’s, a new twerking emote for Venom is available for a limited time in Marvel Rivals, which players can earn through in-game challenges.
Thisemote is unlocked as a secret reward for completing Galacta’s Cosmic Adventure, a board-game-style event taking place as of this time of writing. TheCosmic Adventure event inMarvel Rivalssees you collect a rare resource from meeting mission goals, such as:
Meeting these goals sees you gather Galacta’s Power Cosmic, a unique resource that charges a special d4 you can roll. When you roll the d4, Galacta moves around a game board, collecting rewards at every space she lands on. Some rewards include a rare Black Widow skin, Units, and Gallery Cards you’re able to view whenever you want.
Galacta skips any spaces she’s already landed on, moving based on the number rolled on the d4 until she moves somewhere she has not been. This allows you to collect every item from the game board eventually.
Gathering enough Power Cosmic before the event ends will allow you to move Galacta to every space on the board.When Galacta has collected every event reward, you are gifted with the secret Venom Emotefor free. This event did not take me long to complete, especially when I focused on playing a lot of the limited-time Clone Rumble mode, which rewards the most Power Cosmic possible.
This emote is the hidden reward for the Cosmic Adventure event teased by the developers for the last few weeks. As one of the most unique and, frankly, ridiculous emotes inMarvel Rivalsfor any character, it is something you’ll want to grab before the event ends soon.
