Along with the option to purchase The Fantastic Life costumes, Marvel Rivals is testing a new method of promoting skin drops by offering some players a limited-time chance to get both costumes for free on Twitch. 

The event includes some legendary esports names like 100 Thieves founder Nadeshot as well as Necros, arguably the strongest player in the Marvel Rivals esports scene today.

Depending on your server of choice, players will have a very limited window to queue up in Quick Play for a chance to get a free Mister Fantastic & Invisible Woman - 60th Wedding Anniversary Bundle. All you need to do is queue up and hope you get into a match with one of the partnered Marvel Rivals streamers. Here is a full schedule for those streams: 

Feb. 12 Streams - 4 to 6pm PT

All of these streams will be run on the Dallas Marvel Rivals servers. Every streamer will be using unique names starting with Lover.

As long as you queue into a Quick Play match with one of these streamers during their timeframe, you will receive a free Mister Fantastic & Invisible Woman - 60th Wedding Anniversary Bundle. It does not matter what team you are on but you will be listed as ineligible for the rewards if you disconnect during the match.

If you successfully participate in an eligible match, you will get an in-game email notifying you once the Marvel Rivals team verifies the match data. That email should include your Mister Fantastic & Invisible Woman - 60th Wedding Anniversary Bundle rewards, which will expire after 30 days if you don’t claim them.

A full FAQ for the event is available on the Marvel Rivals website.

Marvel Rivals Invisible Woman and Mister Fantastic The Life Fantastic Costumes Meta Impact

The Invisible Woman and Mister Fantastic - The Fantastic Life costumes will have no direct impact on the Marvel Rivals meta, though they could indirectly cause some changes. 

When new skins are added to competitive games, there is always a chance that players will purchase the skins and then play those characters more. Invisible Woman is already a heavily used player, while Mister Fantastic is in the bottom five of usage rates across all ranks in Season 1, according to RivalsMeta.

Having a paired set of costumes could encourage more players to try Mister Fantastic out while using the Invisible Woman Team-Up, though that isn’t likely to happen until a new balance patch drops.
