I logged into Marvel Rivals, clicked the Van Dyne Couture tab, and stopped cold — Magneto in a retro suit was sitting behind Tier 18. You can grab that Magnetic Vintage look without spending a dime, but only if you push through the season grind. The clock runs from July 16, 2026 at 9 AM UTC to August 13, 2026 at 9 AM UTC, and that window is where prizes are won or missed.
How to get the free Magneto Magnetic Vintage skin in Season 9
If you’ve played even a couple of matches since the update, you’ve seen the new event progress bar sitting in the menu. I’ll keep this simple: play matches, earn XP, and reach Tier 18. That’s the exact milestone that hands you the Magneto Magnetic Vintage costume and its accompanying nameplate, animated sprays, emotes, and emoji bundles — all free.
You don’t need to grind like it’s the last day of a sale. Focus on game modes that award the most XP, queue efficiently, and let daily play stack up. I treat the process like finding a vintage jacket in your grandmother’s attic: quick patience and persistence pays off.
Van Dyne Couture event — what I noticed and what it means
If you glanced at the Season 9 roadmap, you’d have seen Janet Van Dyne’s fashion line teased for the event pass. This is the first event pass in Season 9 and it’s deliberately straightforward: 25 rewards split between free and premium tracks, featuring couture skins for Adam Warlock, Magneto, and Invisible Woman.
NetEase Games crafted the pass as a classic free-tier-plus-premium model: you get the Magneto Magnetic Vintage set for free at Tier 18, while Adam Warlock’s Tailored Perfection and Invisible Woman’s Baxter Building Beauty live behind the VIP pass. The VIP pass costs 990 Lattice, which is roughly $10 (€9). If you buy it via the App Store or Google Play you’ll pay with standard store payment flows; I mention those because your platform can change bonus offers or bundle deals.
Are there any free Marvel Rivals skins in the Van Dyne Couture event?
Yes. The Magneto Magnetic Vintage costume is free once you reach Tier 18 by earning XP from matches during the event window. You’ll also collect free sprays, emotes, nameplates, Chrono Tokens, and Unstable Molecules along the free track.
What is the Marvel Rivals Van Dyne Couture premium pass price?
The premium VIP pass costs 990 Lattice, approximately $10 (€9). Buying the pass grants immediate access to the premium reward stream — Adam Warlock and Invisible Woman’s new costumes and a set of exclusive MVPs, emoji bundles, and nameplates.
All rewards, observed and listed so you can choose fast
If you’ve skimmed event pages in other live-service titles, you’ll know the obvious trade: free cosmetics versus paid convenience and extras. Here the free track delivers the Magneto set plus regular currency drops; the premium track bundles two full costumes, exclusive MVPs, and extra cosmetics.
The rewards list below is the exact layout from the Van Dyne Couture pass so you can plan: play for the free Magneto items or buy the VIP pass for Adam Warlock and Invisible Woman’s couture. Acting now is sensible — event timers in live games are short by design, and NetEase often rotates similar offers through App Store/Google Play promos.

What I recommend you do next
If you want the Magneto skin for nothing, set a simple plan: play a couple of short matches every day, prioritize XP-heavy modes, and track your Tier progress on the season pass. Buying the VIP pass gives instant premium access if you prefer the Adam Warlock and Invisible Woman outfits — and if you value finishing early, that’s the straight path.
Think of your in-game time like a small investment: a few hours of focused play will cover the free track, while a $10 (€9) purchase buys convenience and extras. If you want to use tools, community trackers on Reddit and Discord threads often list which game modes spit the most XP per minute — follow those to compress time spent grinding.
The July 16 patch is live now; are you going to grind for Magneto’s Magnetic Vintage for free or buy the VIP pass and snag Adam Warlock and Invisible Woman instantly?
