Marvel Rivals is heating things up again with Season 4’s Summer Special Vol. 2 event. Following last season’s Summer Party, the beach vibes are back—this time with fresh cosmetics, swimsuit-inspired skins, and plenty of rewards.
The highlight for many players is The Thing’s “Rocky Tide” Summer Skin—a fun, beachy twist on his iconic rocky armor. Even better? It’s completely free if you put in the time. Here’s everything you need to know.

How the Summer Special Vol. 2 Event Works
The Summer Special Vol. 2 runs on a seasonal pass system, similar to a mini battle pass.
- Earn XP: Every match you play and every mission you complete gives XP.
- Level Up: XP increases your event level, unlocking new rewards.
- Free vs Premium: Some items are free, while others require the premium pass.
Free players can still get a solid set of rewards, with The Thing’s Rocky Tide Summer Skin being the crown jewel. Premium pass holders get additional outfits, emotes, and bonus cosmetics.
How to Unlock The Thing’s Rocky Tide Skin
Unlocking the Rocky Tide skin is refreshingly simple:
- Reach Level 14 on the free event track.
- No premium pass or hidden requirements needed.
- Once unlocked, the skin is automatically added to your collection.
This means you don’t need to spend credits—just keep playing regularly. With steady progress through missions and daily play, you’ll hit Level 14 well before the event ends.
Other Skins in the Summer Collection
While Rocky Tide is the main freebie, the event also adds new premium skins to keep the summer theme rolling:
- Human Torch – “Sunny Sizzler” (Premium Track, Level 1)
- Mantis – “Oceanic Harmony” (Premium Track, Level 21)
- Punisher – “Aqua Arsenal” (Shop Purchase)
- Invisible Woman – “Azure Shade” (Shop Purchase)
That makes a total of five heroes receiving summer makeovers—one of the biggest themed drops in Marvel Rivals so far.
Additional Rewards
Alongside skins, the event track includes:
- Emotes
- Unstable Molecules
- Other cosmetic items
Premium pass owners will see even more tiers filled with exclusive content.
Tips to Progress Faster
If you’re aiming to unlock rewards efficiently:
- Play with friends – Team matches help complete event missions faster.
- Don’t quit early – Even if you lose, completing matches still grants progress.
- Use Fantastic Four heroes – The Thing and Human Torch often tie into seasonal objectives, giving you an XP edge.
The Rocky Tide Summer Skin in Marvel Rivals is one of the easiest and most rewarding free cosmetics you can grab. Just by playing regularly, you’ll unlock it without spending credits.
If you’re interested in Human Torch, Mantis, or premium shop skins, you’ll need to invest in the premium pass or make direct purchases. But if your main goal is decking out Ben Grimm in summer style, this is a no-brainer.
