Marvel Rivals is often known to grant its players with freebies, right from cosmetic items, to event-based skins or even the game’s currency in Units or Chrono Tokens. With the latest ongoing Galacta’s Cosmic Adventure event, players can claim a free skin and over 1,000 Units by simply earning Galacta’s Power Cosmic across matches.

However, it’s also quite rare when players are granted free Units without having to put the effort like when NetEase gifted everyone 200 Units for unexpected server issues. While that was positively welcomed by players, the devs have brought another opportunity for all players to earn some free units, but this time you’re expected to showcase your offensive skills in Marvel Rivals Quick Match gameplay using Human Torch and The Thing.

According to the challenge, players need to aim to get as many KOs (knockouts or eliminations) using Human Torch or The Thing in Quick Match playlists.
