Marvel Rivals Season 2, Hellfire Gala, heats the battlefield with exciting improvements, new heroes, and a colorful new Battle Pass. Set in the mutant haven of Krakoa, this season features new map rotations, like the lush Hellfire Gala: Krakoa, shake up competitive play, while enhanced features, such as optimized matchmaking and reworked Team-Up abilities, enhance strategic synergy. A huge balancing patch also adjusts heroes, allowing varied team compositions to thrive, from tanks to duelists.
Emma Frost, the 38th hero and fearsome Vanguard, leads the charge this season. Her telepathic abilities and diamond-form brawling devastate frontlines with style. Ultron, set to make his mid-season debut, promises chaos and destruction, adding to the roster’s variety. The new Flower of Krakoa Battle Pass has ten exclusive skins, including Spider-Man’s Spider-Oni and the Hulk’s Joe Fixit. Furthermore, new weekly missions streamline Chrono Token earnings, allowing for easier progression.
Aside from cosmetics, Season 2 offers gifting features and faction improvements, which encourage community play. However, as with every Rivals season, a new event called the Cerebro Database has landed, and it is filled with missions and exclusive rewards tied to the X-Men lineage.
How to complete Marvel Rivals Cerebro Database missions and claim rewards
Marvel Rivals has finally released the new Cerebro Database event in Season 2, which brings four stages of missions for players to complete to unlock a free Flora Maiden Mantis skin in the game. These missions unlock over time, and unless specified otherwise, they can be completed in Quick Match, Competitive, or Practice vs. AI modes.
There are four tiles that appear on the event screen; however, as of now, only the first tile with Emma Frost on it is available to access. Click on that tile, and a 3×3 grid with octagons will appear in front of you with 9 missions listed in each of them.
Hover above an octagon to see the mission you’re supposed to complete. Complete three tasks in the same Row/Column/Diagonal to form a line. Achieve any three lines to complete the entire event – with any remaining missions instantly marked done. Then, claim your rewards via the button on the event page.
