The
Marvel
Rivals
Hellfire Gala event
has been a hit, but it seems to have hit a snag, leaving the players struggling to unlock Act 3 despite the completion of earlier stages. It turns out that it is not a bug, but instead a hidden hurdle and the confusion stems from misleading progress indicators.
It's leading the players to believe there is some glitch in the system. Here is all you need to know about why this is happening and how you can fix it.
Why is Marvel Rivals Act 3 not unlocking?

The confusion here stems from the misleading
4/4 Gifts Claimed
in Act 2 message being displayed to show progress. It leads the players to believe they have completed it all. However, it only tracks the collected rewards and not the completed missions.
To unlock Act 3, the players will have to finish all
Marvel Rivals Act 2 challenges
.
It includes winning the matches, dealing damages and even securing the Double Kos. The missions are tucked under the Hellfire Gifts tab, which makes it easier to miss. Until all three phases of the missions in Act 2 are completed, Act 3, therefore, remains locked.
How to fix the issue to unlock Marvel Rivals Act 3?
To fix the issue, revisit Act 2 and check the Hellfire Gifts section for any incomplete missions—locate the floating ticket icons; each of these represents the mission.
Once you find the icons, clear all the tasks. Once you are done with Act 3, the Gala Star Vote will unlock. It will allow you to vote for the next hero skin and also to complete the new tasks.
If Act 3 still does not appear, try to restart the game or clear the cache. There are some players who have reported delayed unlocks because of server-side tracking. As the event ends on May 23, 2025, make sure to act fast and secure your Wolverine Patches skin before the same is gone.
Voting troubles in Act 3: How to solve it?
Even when Act 3 is unlocked, some players are not able to vote. The culprit here is Missing Voting Tokens. It requires players to convert the X-coins earned via challenges. If the Vote buttons remain greyed, check the token balance—under the hero portraits.
To have a smoother movement, convert the X-coins to the tokens before you enter Act 3. In case the UI freezes, you can restart the app or even clear the cache. If the issues are still persistent, you can reinstall. It quite often resolves the deeper glitches.
Tips for smoother progress
Track the missions manually. Do not just be reliant on the gift counter.
Convert the X-coins early. In Act 3, you will need 200 for the voting tokens.
Check for any updates. Make sure the game is running the latest patch.
By following simple steps, you can bypass any confusion and enjoy the event without any hassle. Happy gaming!
