Summer has officially arrived in Marvel Rivals, as a brand new social hub, the Hellfire Bay Beach, has opened its doors to Marvel’s finest. To mark the occasion, there’s far more to do here than just kick back in the sea, as there’s a whopping 2500 free Units up for grabs!
That said, you won’t find them all in the same place, and there are some pretty strict time restrictions on when you can claim these Units. But with all the new beachwear skins, you’ll want as many as you can find, so here’s how to get 2500 Units without breaking into your wallet.
Before you go any further, consider downloading the free Insider Gaming app for the cleanest way to read your gaming news on iOS and Android.
How To Earn 2500 Free Units In Marvel Rivals
There are four sources of Units with the latest Marvel Rivals update, and they’re all entirely free.
These are as follows:
- Uplifting Welcome (200 Units)
- X-Press Juice (1500 Units)
- Summer Snapshot (200 Units)
- Tandem Tides (600 Units)
Each method has its own set of requirements, with numerous timers to keep track of. Thankfully, you can keep track of every avenue in the Rivals Summer Festival 2026 Event tab, as seen in the image above: each method has its own icon.
With that in mind, here’s how to earn every set of Units in Marvel Rivals, all entirely for free!
Uplifting Welcome
To earn your first 200 Units, all you need to do is log in to Marvel Rivals and load into the new Hellfire Bay Beach Social Hub before June 27, 4 PM PT. Once you’ve visited the beach, you’ll be set to receive 200 Units on June 27, once the timer runs out.
X-Press Juice
This is the best method to earn free Units, as there’s 1500 up for grabs! However, there’s a caveat, as they’re limited-time Units, and you’ll have to spend them by July 10, 1 AM PT. That means they’re probably best spent on the new wave of beachwear skins, but they still function the same as normal Units—you just have to spend them before they expire.

With that in mind, you might be asking how do you earn them? Well, it’s incredibly simple. All you need to do is log in to Marvel Rivals on seven different days, and head to Cyclops’ X-Press Juice to claim your daily reward.
The Units are available in batches of 100 and 300, and by the seventh day, you’ll have all 1500 to your name. Considering that they expire in roughly three weeks, if you log in at least once every three days, that should be ample time to claim every reward on offer.
Summer Snapshot
Across Hellfire Bay Beach, you’ll spot numerous Snapshot opportunities. If you head over to one and take a picture, and share it with a friend (or in chat), you’ll receive 100 free Units.
You can claim this reward once every seven days, up to two times, meaning there are 200 free Units available here. You’ll have plenty of time to claim these rewards, as they remain until the event ends on July 30, 1 AM PT.
Tandem Tides
Tandem Tides is a new event where you need to complete exclusive daily missions and challenges to earn Tandem Tide Points. You can spend this currency to unlock rewards, where there’s a total of 600 free Units up for grabs.
Overall, you’ll need to earn 1600 Tandem Tide Points to claim every batch of Units, but you’ll have until the event ends on July 30, 1 AM PT to complete the challenge.

If you want to blitz through them quickly, you can get your friends involved and form a Co-op Connection; once that’s set up, you’ll each receive the same amount of Tandem Tide Points whenever a party member completes a challenge. With a capacity of three friends, you could earn four times the amount of Points!
When Does Summer Festival 2026 Event End In Marvel Rivals?
The Summer Festival 2026 Event in Marvel Rivals ends on July 30 at 1 AM PT.
That gives you ample time to enjoy the different events and passes, as well as collect a host of eye-catching beach skins. Of course, if you’re after the free Units, be sure to follow the guide above, as these have their own distinct set of timings that you won’t want to miss.
What will you spend your free 2500 Units on? Will it be one of the many swimsuit skins, or something else that you’ve been saving for? Share your thoughts in the official Insider Gaming Discord Server.
