In Marvel Rivals, Units serve as the main free currency, but it's important to note that there are two primary currencies to keep in mind: Units and Lattice. While there are also Chrono Tokens, which are specifically for the battle pass, they aren't particularly relevant to our discussion here.
Lattice is a currency that can be bought with real money, while Units serve as the primary currency required to buy new outfits and bundles from the store.
You can obtain Units in Marvel Rivals through four main methods:
The exchange rate for Lattice to Units is one-to-one, meaning that if you have 100 Lattice (which is equivalent to $1), you will receive 100 Units in return.
How To Use Your Units In Marvel Rivals
Units serve as the currency for your store; you will use them to buy every new costume and item that you obtain, apart from those provided through the battle pass, events, or codes.
These costume packs usually include the costume, a unique MVP cutscene, an emote, a nameplate, and a spray. It's a great deal for the price, but it generally means most bundles will cost around $20. Some costume packs inspired by the MCU can even reach $35 if you’re buying them solely with Units through Lattice.
If you're aiming to purchase a particular pack but don't want to spend the full amount, a smart approach is to stash away a few hundred Units from the battle pass and other options. Then, keep an eye out for sales—like the one NetEase Games offered at launch—and fill in any gaps with Lattice. Fortunately, NetEase allows you to buy Lattice for just a dollar at a time, so you can easily acquire the precise amount you need.
