Marvel Rivals season 2.5 may have taken our heroes off-world as they battled across Arakko, but season 3 is throwing us into the furthest reaches of space to fight a new threat: Knull and his symbiote army.
Stopping one symbiote is tough enough. Fighting off an army of them is going to require a whole new wardrobe’s worth of battle gear. Luckily for you, there are many ways to unlock some free skins in the hit hero shooter right now — including the Milano Repair Logs event that evens the odds with a free Storm Symbiote Storm skin.
Outside of the latest event, there are still other ways to earn free skins right now. Whether you’re getting used to Phoenix’s dense set of abilities or you’re still getting used to the ever-shifting landscape of team-up moves, season 3 has introduced a slate of free skins that you can use to deck out your favorite characters.
Here’s what you need to know about the Milano Repair Logs event, current Twitch drops and the Marvel Rivals season 3 battle pass.
Get the Storm Symbiote Storm skin during the Milano Repair Logs event
The Milano Repair Logs event is a simple challenge-based event launched at the beginning of season 3. It’s similar to the Cerebro Database events from season 2, but instead of playing a game of tic-tac-toe, you just have to complete every objective presented to you.
There are seven repair logs to complete, with each repair log containing three separate challenges. The challenge rewards are pretty solid this time around — there are some character-based sprays, profile pics and other filler, but you can also earn a handful of units and hundreds of Chrono Tokens that will give you an early boost in completing the season 3 battle pass.
You unlock new repair logs by completing the previous ones, so there’s no skipping out on challenges that don’t fit your usual play style. Once you complete all seven repair logs, you automatically unlock the free Storm Symbiote Storm skin for your outfit wardrobe. The Milano Repair Logs event lasts until Aug. 8, so you’ll want to unlock the Storm skin before then.
If you want to complete your symbiote skin collection, there are a smattering of Venom-themed skins for other characters on the battle pass (including two skins on the free track). There are also plenty of Venom- and Phoenix-themed skins in the in-game shop if you’ve collected enough units to snatch up an incoming bundle or two.
