Following the recent release of Season 2.5, Marvel Rivals is adding even more premium content for players willing to splash the cash. The Marvel Rivals Combat Chest is the newest addition to tide players over until the season’s end.
While it isn’t exactly another Marvel Rivals Battle Pass, it still gives players a new monetisation system to grind towards, offering a mix of free rewards and exciting premium goodies. Here’s everything you need to know about the Marvel Rivals 2.5 Combat Chest and its rewards.
Marvel Rivals Season 2.5 Combat Chest: Cost & release date
The Combat Chest was released alongside the newest Marvel Rivals update, Season 2.5, acting as a mini reward track outside of the hero shooter’s main season Battle Pass with a total of 24 levels. It features two tiers: Free and Premium. Free rewards are unlocked by default, while the Premium version costs 690 Lattice (around $7).
- Start Date: May 30, 2025 – 9:00 AM UTC
- End Date: July 11, 2025 – 9:00 AM UTC
The Combat Chest is available for a limited time only (buyable until July 11), when Season 2.5 ends. If you buy the Premium Combat Chest, it’ll become permanently available to you even after the event period ends, meaning you’ll still be able to claim any missing rewards.
XP grinding tips for the Combat Chest
You’ll earn Marvel Rivals Combat Chest rewards by racking up Daily Experience, requiring 1,800 XP to clear each level and unlock a new reward – you can unlock up to four levels per day.
This means it’ll take around a week of daily play to fully unlock all levels. Here are a few tips to maximize your XP gains:
- Play Daily, Even for Short Sessions: With a cap of 7,200 XP per day, it’s better to log in and play a few matches every day rather than trying to marathon it all in a weekend.
- Focus on Fast Matches: Lean into quick game modes that let you finish matches faster, rather than ranked games.
- Group Up: Playing with friends makes the grind easier and more fun, with better communication, smoother team comps, and likely, more wins, earning your daily XP quicker.
- Skip Levels (If You Really Want): If you’re short on time or want to unlock everything ASAP, you can buy individual levels for 200 Lattice each. It’s not a must, but it’s there if you want to save time.
With these tips, you should have no trouble unlocking the full Combat Chest within a week or two, even if you’re balancing Marvel Rivals with other games or a busy schedule.

Is the Marvel Rivals Combat Chest worth it?
If you’re interested in any of these Marvel Rivals rewards, then the Combat Chest is worth your Lattice. Unlocking all rewards through grinding is free (aside from the time investment), but the Premium track at 690 Lattice is a real bargain, especially since these cosmetics will likely cost more when they eventually hit the Store.
Conclusion
The Combat Chest is a nice added extra for players who enjoy customising their favourite heroes or want to show off these limited-time, exclusive cosmetics before they hit the in-game store. It’s not essential, but for collectors, it’s an affordable way to add some personality to your roster and brighten up your Marvel Rivals gameplay experience. The addition of ten free rewards is a welcome bonus, too, offering a little something for everyone.
Whether you buy the Combat Chest or not, it’s clear that Marvel Rivals Season 2.5 is packed with exciting new updates and fresh skins. Between the arrival of supervillain Ultron, the new Cerebro Database II seasonal event, and a round of hero balance changes (all listed in the official patch notes), there’s plenty to keep players engaged.
