on January 27, 2025 at 7:05AM PSTThis month’s brief ban of TikTok in the US saw Marvel Snap get caught in the crossfire, as it was inaccessible to US-based players for several days. After that issue was resolved, developer Second Dinner pledged to reward players for their patience, and it looks like there’ll be a lot of free stuff to grab this week.Second Dinner explained how this will work on its social media channels. First off, there’ll be separate rewards packages for US-based players and the international playerbase. Each package will be subdivided based on collection level, with the higher collection levels getting the lion’s share of the goodies. These are substantial drops, as Second Dinner will be handing out currencies, variant cards, and more. This stuff typically equates to hundreds of dollars if you were to buy them in the game’s expensive microtransactions store.It’s worth pointing out that the existing US-based players are defined as accounts created before January 20 inside the US and have shown any activity in the last 30 days before the outage, Second Dinner wrote. The developer explained that if US players made use of a VPN service to get around the downtime, it will not affect their eligibility for the compensation package. “This includes players from outside the US VPN-ing into the US to try and receive the US Downtime Package,” Second Dinner added.Some of these rewards also require a fair bit of grinding to unlock, so even if you aren’t playing Marvel Rivals regularly, you’ll want to log in and claim these prizes for when you do decide to jump in again. Here’s what you can expect to receive this week if you’re in the US:And for players outside of the US, the downtime package might not be as generous, but it’s still pretty great considering that it’s a freebie:This should help players to unlock a few more cards as part of Marvel Snap’s Dark Avengers-themed month. While Iron Patriot can only be obtained by purchasing the $10 season pass, other unlockable cards this month include Moonstone, Bullseye, Victoria Hand, and Ares.Got a news tip or want to contact us directly?
