New Accessories System: How to Get and Use Accessories

The brand-new Accessories System Marvel Rivals introduces an exciting layer of customization to the game, allowing players to equip stylish and reactive cosmetic items that enhance their visual identity on the battlefield. From capes and hats to animated effects that respond to in-game actions, accessories offer more ways than ever to personalize your heroes.

This guide will explain everything you need to know about the Marvel Rivals Accessories: how to unlock them, how they work, where to equip them, and what makes them different from traditional skins or sprays. Whether you're a casual player looking to stand out or a collector aiming to complete your cosmetic loadout, this system adds a fresh layer of expression worth exploring.

Let’s dive into how the accessory feature works and how to make the most of it in Season 3 and beyond.

How to Earn Accessory Points in Marvel Rivals

To unlock and equip cosmetics in the new Accessories System Marvel Rivals, you’ll first need to collect Accessory Points — the game’s dedicated currency for this feature. These points are earned primarily through regular gameplay, with no need for purchases or special objectives at this stage.

Currently, the only confirmed way to gain Accessory Points is by participating in Quick Match or Competitive modes. Each completed match contributes a small number of points to your account. The longer you play, the more you accumulate, making consistent playtime the best strategy for collecting them efficiently.

As of now, there are no alternative methods like challenges or daily missions that provide points, though future updates may expand earning options. For the time being, just focus on playing matches — the points will add up passively.

It’s also worth noting that early leaks suggest a weekly cap may be applied to how many Accessory Points you can earn. While this hasn’t been officially confirmed, it’s a good idea to spread out your games throughout the week to avoid hitting any potential limit too quickly.

How to Unlock Accessories in Marvel Rivals

Once you've collected enough Accessory Points through gameplay, you’ll be able to use them to unlock specific cosmetics in the new Accessories System Marvel Rivals. Each accessory is designed to pair with a particular hero, offering visual flair that complements their look and animations.

The system is expected to be integrated directly into the cosmetic customization menu for each character. This means you’ll likely see an “Accessories” tab alongside skins, sprays, and emotes when editing your loadout. Simply select an available slot and spend your points to unlock the item.

While the exact interface hasn’t been finalized, there are hints that a separate accessory shop or unlock menu might be introduced as well. If that’s the case, players will have even more control over browsing and selecting from the full range of Marvel Rivals Accessories.

Keep in mind that this system will go live starting July 11th UTC, and additional functionality may be added in future patches. For now, just make sure you’re earning points ahead of time and checking which heroes support accessories in your roster.

All Accessories and Linked Characters

At launch, the Accessories System Marvel Rivals will feature a curated selection of cosmetic items tied to specific heroes. Each accessory is designed to reflect the personality or lore of the corresponding character, adding a fun and thematic flair to your gameplay experience.

Below is a list of all available accessories and the characters they’re compatible with:

Tips for Using Accessories Effectively

• Match Accessories to Skins: Some accessories, especially plush charms, look best when paired with specific skins. Try experimenting with different combinations to get the most cohesive aesthetic.
• Use Accessories for Personal Flair: Even though accessories don’t impact gameplay, they’re great for expressing your style or favorite heroes. Choose ones that match your playstyle or attitude.
• Rotate Accessories Between Heroes: If you unlock multiple items, mix them up to keep your visual setup fresh. Since most heroes only support one accessory at a time, variety adds replay value.
• Watch for Seasonal Exclusives: Some accessories, like the Symbiote Storm event cosmetic, may only be available for a short time. Be sure to claim them before the event ends.
• Check the Cosmetic Menu Often: As new accessories are introduced, they may not be immediately obvious. Visit the customization tab regularly to see what's new or what can be equipped.

Conclusion

The Accessories System Marvel Rivals is a fun and rewarding new feature that adds depth to how you personalize your heroes. By playing matches, earning Accessory Points, and unlocking cosmetics tied to specific characters, players can show off their favorite heroes with unique visual flair. The addition of limited-time rewards like Symbiote Storm and the promise of future updates makes this system feel fresh and full of potential.

If you're looking to unlock everything faster, consider using a Marvel Rivals Battle Pass Boost to speed up your progression through the Power of the Phoenix rewards.

Whether you're a casual fan or a dedicated collector, this system is worth engaging with — and it won’t cost you anything but time and a few victories.
