Marvel Rivals: How to Unlock the Free Infinity Gauntlet Accessory

Collect ten Infinity Stones from rival teams in the Avengers: Infinity War mode before December 11 to claim it.

Collect ten Infinity Stones from rival teams in the Avengers: Infinity War mode before December 11 to claim it.

The Infinity Gauntlet accessory arrived with the Season 10.5 update as part of the Path to Doomsday — Avengers: Infinity War content in Marvel Rivals. It is not a paid item. You earn it by playing the new Avengers: Infinity War mode and finishing one event mission, with no Units required.

Quick answer: In Path to Doomsday — Avengers: Infinity War mode, steal 10 Infinity Stones from opposing teams, then collect the Infinity Gauntlet on the event page. The mission remains available through December 11, 2026, 09:00 UTC.

The Infinity Gauntlet is free, not a store purchase

The Season 10.5 patch notes initially placed the Infinity Gauntlet accessory in “New In Store,” and early posts said it would be priced at 800 Units. NetEase later corrected that information: the accessory won’t be available for purchase in the store. Instead, complete mission objectives during the Avengers: Infinity War event to get it for free.

The Marvel Rivals account’s official correction verifies the update and points out that players can also pick up rewards like Unstable Molecules and Units during the event.

If the gauntlet appears in a store section in your client, consider it a free claim rather than a purchase. Follow the mission wording in-game, not the section where the item appears.

The exact mission that unlocks the gauntlet

The final mission of the Path to Doomsday — Avengers: Infinity War event rewards the accessory. Finish the mission by taking 10 Infinity Stones from other teams. It’s the mode’s most difficult mission because only stones taken from opponents count; the stone your duo gets at the beginning of each match does not.

Your stone count builds up across matches, so you do not need to hold ten stones in a single game. A match contains only six stones, and one is already yours, so the most you can take from opponents in one perfect run is five. In practice it takes at least two strong matches, and usually more.

Install the Season 10.5 update for Marvel Rivals (Version 20261009), then start the game.
Open the game modes list and select Path to Doomsday — Avengers: Infinity War.
Queue as a duo with a friend, or go in solo and get matched with a random partner.
Eliminate opposing duos during their rounds to seize their Infinity Stones. Keep going until you have taken 10 from other teams.
Open the Path to Doomsday event page and claim the Infinity Gauntlet accessory. Once it is in your inventory, you can equip it on any eligible hero.

How the Avengers: Infinity War mode works

Twelve players enter as six duos. Each round pairs two duos against each other in a deathmatch on a Wakanda battlefield, so you face a different team as the tournament continues rather than fighting everyone at once. Every duo shares a single health pool that carries between rounds.

At the beginning of a match, each duo receives a randomly chosen Infinity Stone that provides a powerful ability. Losing a round reduces the health shared by both players. If that pool is depleted, the duo is eliminated, and the pair responsible takes their stone. The match goes to the first duo to collect all six stones. Between rounds, select from randomly offered upgrade cards to improve your hero’s stats and abilities, giving each run a different feel.

Heroes that can equip the Infinity Gauntlet

Only the 13 heroes tied to the final Avengers films can wear the accessory, and they are the same roster available inside the Avengers: Infinity War mode. The rest of the Marvel Rivals roster cannot equip it.

Like the game’s other accessories, this one has a pop-up effect. With all six Infinity Stones set in it, the gauntlet lights up and performs a finger-snap animation. The effect activates when you get a kill or an assist in a match.

Tips to collect ten stones faster

  • Play with a friend on voice chat. Knockouts come quicker when both of you focus the same target.
  • Pick upgrade cards that match your hero. Take damage cards on Iron Man, healing and support cards on Mantis or Rocket.
  • Spend your stone’s ability when an elimination is close rather than saving it too long.
  • Protect your shared health pool. A low-cost loss is often worth more than a risky win that leaves you exposed next round.

The mode runs for roughly two months, so there is no need to rush, but aim to finish before the final week in case the queue fills up or a late patch gets in the way. Once the mission ticks over to ten stones, the Infinity Gauntlet becomes claimable on the event page and will show as owned in your accessory list after you claim it.
