On June 5 at 7 PM PDT, the Weapon X skin for Wolverine will be available in the Marvel Rivals store. Players will be treated to their first look at this new skin, which is part of a broader Season 2.5 update that introduced the villain Ultron to the game’s roster. Wolverine, a prominent Duelist in Marvel Rivals, is particularly adept at taking down Vanguards with high health pools using his melee skills. As a melee-focused character, Wolverine’s strategy revolves around quick engagements in combat.
His Vicious Rampage ability allows him to dash forward while attacking, while his Feral Leap ability helps him isolate enemies from their teammates for one-on-one encounters. However, his aggressive playstyle can leave him exposed to ranged attacks and flying heroes, which makes closing the distance a challenging task without incurring damage. In conjunction with Wolverine’s new skin, a gameplay video has been revealed showing Logan outfitted with a metal device on his head and dark yellow pants, complemented by machinery on his body. His claws appear to glow with orange and red hues, creating fiery trails with every swing.
The Weapon X bundle is priced at 1,600 Units and includes the skin, a nameplate, a spray, MVP animation, and an emote. Additionally, on June 5, Jeff the Land Shark will also receive a new skin named Sunshine Land Shark, featuring beach attire with a floral necklace. This costume is part of a “Sunshine” set, alongside similar skins for Squirrel Girl and Rocket Raccoon. Excitingly, the update will also introduce a new game mode called Ultron’s Battle Matrix Protocol, which emphasizes tactical combat and strategy.
Players will now engage on a grid, utilizing modules and strategic positioning to outmaneuver opponents. With this wealth of new content, fans are optimistic about the future of Marvel Rivals.
