The screen flashed, the hammer dropped, and a collective groan filled the room as Jeff the Land Shark evaded another blow. My friend slammed his fist on the table, muttering about “one more Chimichanga.” The digital arcade had us hooked, all for a shot at that coveted 8-Bit skin—but was this pixelated pursuit worth the grind?
Another season in Marvel Rivals brings another chance to snag some sweet loot, and this time, Jeff, the ‘goodest’ boy, is the star. The Whac-A-Jeff event gives our favorite land shark an 8-bit makeover, complete with an arcade-style game of Whac-A-Mole. The event’s named? What else? Whac-A-Jeff, of course!
The event’s mechanics are simple, and participating gets you rewards. Here’s what you need to know about the Marvel Rivals Whac-A-Jeff event, including how to get your hands on the free Jeff ‘8-Bit Bash’ costume.
Marvel Rivals Whac-A-Jeff Event: Dates to Remember
Ever notice how time flies when you’re having fun (or grinding for a skin)? The Whac-A-Jeff event is already here, having kicked off on January 16, 2026, at 9 AM UTC, and will run until March 17, at 9 AM UTC. That’s two months to snag those rewards. Don’t forget that this is just one piece of the action; check out the Season 6 roadmap for everything else headed to Marvel Rivals.
Whac-A-Jeff Season 6: The Gist
Like a digital carnival game, the Marvel Rivals Whac-A-Jeff event revolves around a central activity. You’ll complete daily missions to earn Chimichangas, then hand them over to Deadpool on the event’s main page. Once Deadpool’s had his fill, he’s ready to ‘Whac Jeff’. Each attempt, successful or not, earns you a reward.
Everything in the event is free to claim. You just need to finish daily missions to earn Chimichangas, the event’s currency. You can earn up to three Chimichangas each day, with a daily reset.
What are Chimichangas used for in the Marvel Rivals Whac-A-Jeff event?
Chimichangas are the currency of choice for this event, used to fuel Deadpool’s hammer-swinging antics. Feed him enough, and he’ll take a whack at Jeff, earning you prizes in the process. Missed opportunities become building blocks.
Getting the Free Jeff 8-Bit Skin in Marvel Rivals Season 6
The free Jeff ‘8-Bit Bash’ skin in Marvel Rivals Season 6 requires you to capture Jeff nine times. That means collecting at least 27 Chimichangas and feeding them to Deadpool. While the skin is free, you’ll need to complete a heap of challenges.
How long does it take to get the Jeff 8-Bit skin in Marvel Rivals?
Since you can only earn a maximum of three Chimichangas per day, it will take a minimum of nine days of consistent play to acquire the 27 Chimichangas needed to get the Jeff 8-Bit Skin. Mark those calendars.
