Get Free Marvel Rivals Skins From Season 2.5's Cerebro Database Event, Combat Chest and More
Marvel Rivals season 2.5 is moving the Hellfire Gala afterparty to space -- our heroes are heading to the sentient planet Arakko to prevent Ultron's planet-exterminating plans from coming to fruition.
Stopping a robot army is going to require a whole new wardrobe's worth of battle gear. Luckily for you, there are many ways to unlock some free skins in the hit hero shooter right now -- including a new seasonal event that unlocks a free Hawkeye skin.
The Cerebro Database Part 2 event is the debut seasonal event for Marvel Rivals season 2.5, and it's a fairly standard challenge-based event. Different rewards include chrono tokens for the battle pass, units to spend on shop skins and other odds and ends, but the big ticket item is the Hawkeye Binary Arrow skin.
Outside of the latest event, there are still other ways to earn free skins right now. Whether you're getting used to the new suite of team-up abilities or you're getting in more playtime on the latest addition to the Strategist roster by beaming down enemies with Ultron, season 2.5 has introduced a slate of free skins that you can use to deck out your favorite characters.
Here's what you should know about the Cerebro Database Part 2 event and the rest of the free skin lineup at the beginning of Marvel Rivals season 2.5.
Get the Hawkeye Binary Arrow skin free in the Cerebro Database Part 2 event
The Cerebro Database event is live now. It began with the launch of the season 2.5 patch on May 30 and ends on June 27.
While this event is fairly easy, the presentation might confuse some players. As with any Marvel Rivals event, you'll need to complete challenges to earn rewards. In this event, though, each featured character (Iron Man, Black Widow, Magneto and Ultron) has nine unique challenges arranged in a 3x3 board.
The new Cerebro Database event plays out just like the previous one -- including the annoying time-gated challenges.

You don't need to complete all 36 challenges to receive all of the event rewards. Instead, you need to complete enough challenges to make three separate horizontal, vertical or diagonal lines on all four boards to finish the event. Basically, you're playing tic-tac-toe to quickly make three lines on all of the boards to earn your rewards as efficiently as possible.
Like most Marvel Rivals events, several characters' boards are time-gated, which means that the most enterprising players will only be able to unlock the Hawkeye Binary Arrow skin starting on June 11. Until then, you can earn Chrono Tokens, units, sprays and gallery pages.
The Combat Chest is a new type of battle pass -- it's a more traditional experience-based progression system.

Get the Mister Fantastic Future Foundation skin during the first ever Combat Chest event
A new type of experience-based battle pass also launched at the beginning of season 2.5. The Combat Chest is a smaller, half-season battle pass that rewards consistent playtime over challenge completion. The free track contains one costume, while the premium Combat Chest (which costs 690 Lattice, or roughly $7) has two additional costume rewards.
It contains 24 reward tiers and each reward tier requires 1,800 experience points to unlock. Players can earn a maximum of 7,200 experience points every day, so it's theoretically possible to earn every Combat Chest reward in six days. The free Mister Fantastic Future Foundation skin is on tier 18 of the Combat Chest so it will take the most enterprising players four days to unlock the new addition to the body-bending hero's wardrobe.
Premium skin rewards include Storm Ultimate Wind-Rider on tier 6 and Magneto Binary Sword on tier 24 of the Combat Chest. The first version of this shortened alternate battle pass will disappear July 11 at the end of season 2 but any players who purchase the premium version can continue unlocking any remaining tiers after that date.
How can I get free skins during Marvel Rivals season 2.5?
Players who link their Twitch account to their Marvel Rivals account right now can nab a free Emma Frost skin.
But if you only care about rewards you can earn in-game, a different Emma Frost skin and an Ultron skin are available by progressing through the competitive ladder and new Iron Fist and Magik looks are available free on the season 2 battle pass.

US politicians, Jewish groups condemn 'horrifying' Boulder terror attack: 'Vile, antisemitic act of terror'
U.S. lawmakers, Trump administration officials and Jewish groups were among those who condemned the terror attack that left eight people injured in Boulder, Colorado, on Sunday, calling it a "monstrous attack" and an "act of vile antisemitism." Mohamed Sabry Soliman, 45, was arrested at the scene, after he allegedly set victims on fire as they peacefully rallied on behalf of Israeli hostages still held by Hamas in Gaza. Soliman was heard yelling "Free Palestine" and other criticisms of Israel during the attack. Soliman, an Egyptian national, entered the U.S. in 2022 with authorization but has since overstayed his visa, according to authorities. Local and federal law enforcement continue to investigate the attack. "My thoughts and prayers go out to the people who have been injured by this heinous and targeted act on the Jewish community," Colorado Democrat Gov. Jared Polis, who is Jewish, said in a statement. "Boulder is strong. We have overcome tragedies together and will get through this together as a community." "As the Jewish community reels from the recent antisemitic murders in Washington, D.C., it is unfathomable that the community is facing another antisemitic attack here in Boulder on the eve of the holiday of Shavuot," he continued. "Several individuals were brutally attacked while peacefully drawing attention to the plight of hostages who have been held by Hamas terrorists for 604 days. Hate is unacceptable in our Colorado for all, and I condemn this act of terror. The suspect should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law." The governor said he is working closely with local and federal law enforcement following Sunday's attack. Colorado Democrat Attorney General Phil Weiser, who is also Jewish, said the attack appears to have been motivated by hate. Colorado's Democrat Sens. Michael Bennet and John Hickenlooper both slammed the attack as a display of hate against the Jewish community. "My thoughts are with the victims of the horrifying terror attack that occurred this afternoon in Boulder," Bennet said. "Hate and violence of any kind will not be tolerated in Colorado." "Hate of any kind has no home in Colorado," Hickenlooper wrote. "We're monitoring the reports of a horrific terror attack in Boulder this afternoon. Our thoughts are with the victims and their loved ones." Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., who is Jewish, described the attack as a "vile, antisemitic act of terror" and stressed that antisemitism "has no place in America." "Less than two weeks after the horrific antisemitic attack at the Capitol Jewish Museum in DC — and after two relentless years of surging antisemitic attacks across the country— the Jewish community is once again shattered by pain and heartbreak," Schumer said in a statement. "Tonight, a peaceful demonstration was targeted in a vile, antisemitic act of terror. Once again, Jews are left reeling from repeated acts of violence and terror." "When antisemitism is allowed to fester, when it spreads unchecked, and when too many look the other way, history has shown us where it leads: to hatred, to violence, to terror," he continued. "Tonight is Shavuot—a sacred holiday of learning, renewal, and unity. Thousands of Jews around the world will wake up to this horrific news, just as they did after October 7. For many, it's been over 600 days of unrelenting fear and trauma." Schumer added: "Antisemitism, plain and simple, has no place in America. I am praying for the victims' recovery and am in touch with the FBI as we closely monitor the situation." House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., said this "violent, antisemitic attack is heartbreaking and deeply disturbing" and that he is praying for the victims and for law enforcement "to deliver swift justice." "Terrorist sympathizers have made it clear they will do anything to try and silence the Jewish people and those who support Israel," Johnson wrote. "We CANNOT and WILL NOT let them win." House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., said the Jewish community in America has once again become the target of a horrific, antisemitic attack." "As residents of Boulder gathered on the eve of the holiday of Shavuot to raise awareness for the hostages still being held captive in Gaza, the peacefulness of their assembly was shattered," he said. "Our heartfelt prayers are with all of our Jewish brothers and sisters impacted by this unconscionable act of terror, and we thank law enforcement for their swift response. Antisemitism has no place in our nation or anywhere throughout the world. It must be crushed. We stand with the Jewish community today and always." New York City mayor Eric Adams called the attack an "act of horrific, vile antisemitism and terrorism." "Another act of horrific, vile antisemitism and terrorism in our country, as an individual violently attacked a peaceful crowd in Boulder, Colorado, gathered to call for the release of the hostages still held in Gaza since Hamas' terror attacks on October 7, 2023," the Democratic mayor said. "While we see no nexus to NYC at this time, the NYPD is increasing resources at religious sites throughout our city ahead of the sacred holiday of Shavuot out of an abundance of caution. We will not rest until we root out this unacceptable violence and rhetoric from our communities." Several Trump administration officials condemned the attack and gave updates on the federal investigations. "We are aware of and fully investigating a targeted terror attack in Boulder, Colorado," FBI director Kash Patel said. "Our agents and local law enforcement are on the scene already, and we will share updates as more information becomes available." "DHS is monitoring the terrorist attack in Boulder, Colorado," Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said. "We are working with our interagency partners, including the FBI, and will share more information as soon as it becomes available. We are praying for the victims and their families. This violence must stop." Stephen Miller, White House deputy chief of staff for policy and Homeland Security advisor, said he is praying "for the victims of the evil and monstrous attack in Boulder, Colorado." Various Jewish groups also sounded off after the attack in Colorado on Sunday, with Israeli-American Council CEO Elan Carr saying it was a "horrific attack on peaceful demonstrators who were walking in a march to commemorate and demand the release of hostages." "I'm not suggesting the answer is censorship, but we have to understand that hateful words that demonize Jews prompt people to take violent action and commit murder," Carr told Fox News Digital. "We've seen this over and over and over again, and it happened today, and it happened a few days ago, and if we don't stop this, it's going to happen again. This is an absolute outrage that we have people who are being poisoned by vicious ideology." The American Jewish Committee said the incident represented "another vile attack against Jews in America." "Less than two weeks after the horrific murders in D.C., an attacker in Colorado firebombed a group calling for the release of the 58 Israeli hostages who have been held by terrorists in Gaza for 604 days," the group said in a statement. "This hatred is a dangerous poison, and we need everyone to stand up with us against it. Enough is enough."

"If it's the last ride, you would never know," Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes says of Travis Kelce.
"If it's the last ride, you would never know," Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes says of Travis Kelce. originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Whenever tight end Travis Kelce retires, he'll be five years out from being a first-ballot Hall of Famer. When that will come to fruition is unknown. Advertisement Along the path? There has been some mild criticism of Kelce's decline at age 35 ... including Pro Football Focus using its tight end rankings to push him down to the No. 7 slot. They write ... 'While Kelce has been the second-most-valuable tight end over the past two seasons, per PFF WAR, 2024 represented the lowest-graded season of his career (71.7). Age looks to be catching up to the future Hall of Famer, as his 91.4 PFF overall grade from 2022 appears to be a thing of the past.' The names at the top of the rankings? Kelce is between Minnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson and Philadelphia Eagles veteran Dallas Goedert. Also ahead of him are George Kittle, Brock Bowers, Trey McBride, Mark Andrews, and Sam LaPorta. Advertisement None of this means Kelce is ineffective, of course. Kelce missed virtually his entire rookie season. Since then, he had never posted a year with fewer than eight yards per target, until 2024 when that mark dropped to just 6.2. After ascending to stardom in 2016, he had never dipped below 65 yards per game until 2024, when his 823 yards came out to just 51.4 yards per game. His profile has never been higher, of course, in part because of his romance with pop icon Taylor Swift. ... a relationship that is in part the reason the subject of retirement comes up. But ... "If it's the last ride, you would never know," teammate Patrick Mahomes said this week at OTAs. "The way he's talking about football. The way he's talking about working and trying to be even better this year than he was last year. Advertisement "He doesn't seem like a guy like it's his last ride, like he's tired of the job." Kelce's regression, however slight, is a reminder that dynasties don't last forever. But maybe one "last ride'' - if that's what this is - can allow Kansas City to send him to retirement with another Super Bowl ring.

Chiefs Rashee Rice Slapped With New Lawsuit
Chiefs Rashee Rice Slapped With New Lawsuit originally appeared on Athlon Sports. At OTAs this week, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes was asked to evaluate wide receiver Rashee Rice. Said Mahomes, "He looks like Rashee ... explosive and fast." Advertisement He was talking about Rice on the football field. But the same can be said about him behind the wheel of a car on a freeway. While he continues to return from a torn LCL suffered in Week 4 last season, Rice has been slapped with another lawsuit stemming from his involvement in a multi-vehicle crash in Dallas in March 2024. Rice and Teddy Knox — teammates at SMU — already faced a lawsuit filed by two people who allege they suffered multiple injuries, including brain trauma and internal bleeding. The new lawsuit was filed in Dallas County this month by a woman who alleges that she and her son were heading home when their vehicle was hit in the high-speed crash. "Rice and Knox maneuvered to illegally pass traffic on the left side of the road in an emergency lane and hit a median," the lawsuit states. "The high speeds of their vehicles caused a rotation that demolished cars in their path and set off a high-speed chain reaction of other cars being struck and spun into each other. The resulting chain reaction of violent collisions impacted the vehicle in which the Plaintiff was traveling with her minor son." Advertisement The woman alleges in the lawsuit that people involved in the crash and other bystanders tried to speak to Rice and Knox after the crash, but they left the scene on foot. Says the filing, "Defendants leaving the scene of the collision was a conscious decision to ignore the welfare of those harmed by their grossly negligent conduct in favor of hiding their level of intoxication from activities earlier in the afternoon." The woman is claiming injuries, physical trauma and emotional/mental damage, and is seeking between $250,000 and $1 million. Rice was driving a Lamborghini leased through a Fort Worth-based company that day, and Knox was driving a Corvette leased in Rice's name, police said. They drove on U.S. 75 at speeds in excess of 110 mph when they lost control, causing a chain-reaction crash that involved a total of six vehicles, according to police. Advertisement Rice admitted to driving the Lamborghini and turned himself in to police two weeks later. He faces eight felony charges in connection with the crash – six counts of collision involving bodily injury, one count of collision involving serious bodily injury, and one count of aggravated assault. Knox faced the same charges and was suspended from the SMU football team following the crash.
