Marvel Rivals Monetization: Everything You Need To Know About Units, Lattice and Chrono Tokens

Marvel Rivals has been building massive hype, thanks to its growing roster of heroes, stunning skins, and exciting maps. But with any free-to-play game comes the inevitable question: how will monetization work?

Thankfully, the developers have broken it all down in a recent blog post, giving us a clear picture of how the game’s currencies, skin pricing, and Battle Pass system will function. Here’s the lowdown!

 

 

 

All Marvel Rivals Currencies Explained

Marvel Rivals features three types of currencies, each with a unique role in the game’s economy:

Currency	How to Get It	What It’s For
Units	Earned through missions, Achievements, Events, or the free Battle Pass.	Used to buy skins, bundles, and other shop items.
Lattice	Purchased with real money (or obtained in small amounts through the Battle Pass).	Premium currency for high-end purchases, can be exchanged for Units.
Chrono Tokens	Earned by completing tasks and events in-game.	Unlocks Battle Pass rewards (free and premium tiers).

Units: The Earnable Currency

Units are the free-to-earn currency, letting you snag cool cosmetics without spending real money. You can get these by completing missions, Achievements, and Events—or grabbing them from the Battle Pass.

Lattice: The Premium Currency

Lattice is for players ready to spend real cash for premium items. Here’s how pricing works in the US:

• $0.99 = 100 Lattice
• $99.99 = 11,680 Lattice

Plus, you can convert Lattice to Units at a 1:1 ratio, making it flexible for different purchases.

Chrono Tokens: Battle Pass-Exclusive Currency

Chrono Tokens are tied to the Battle Pass. They’re your key to unlocking both free and premium rewards, earned through gameplay tasks and events.

 

 

Skin Pricing and Bundles

Cosmetics are one of the game’s big draws, and skins are available individually or as part of discounted bundles. Here’s a snapshot of the pricing:

Bundle Type	Cost (Units)	Standard Value (Units)	Discount
Epic-Quality Bundle	1,600	2,200	28%
MCU Epic-Quality Bundle	1,800	2,400	25%
Legendary-Quality Bundle	2,400	3,300	28%

What’s in a Bundle?

A typical Standard Epic-Quality Bundle includes:

• A costume/skin
• MVP animation
• Emote
• Spray
• Nameplate

For reference, $0.99 = 100 Units, so a 1,600 Unit bundle will cost roughly $16.
