Marvel Rivals Bug Could Be the Inspiration NetEase Needs to Star Selling Weapon Skins

Marvel Rivals has had a fantastic first two months, managing to top Steam player charts all while accumulating massive playerbase and stellar reviews. The game is generally well thought out and offers a fun time, but there exist some glaring omissions here and there.

One such area would be the complete lack of a certain subclass of cosmetics – in particular, weapon skins, which are missed dearly. While not as large scale as a full-fledged skin, these could potentially pave the way for Netease to start making a lot more money.

Marvel Rivals glitch lets players walk around with weapon ‘skins’

A recent post on the r/marvelrivals subreddit has gained a fair bit of traction recently, showcasing what appears to be a glitch of some sort. The glitch was caused due to a recent interaction among teammates which resulted in a cloak-effect being stuck on Namor’s trident.

The weapon appears to be infused with a sort of cosmic aura to it, making for a very cool look. The glitch is indeed quite bewildering, and almost appears to be a weapon skin of sorts, which the poster obtained for no additional cost.

It certainly looks like one of those camo skins, resembling dark matter in particular. While being ‘stuck’ with this could seem unusual, many would argue that it is indeed a blessing in disguise, given that the end result looks so ridiculously appealing.

If anything, Netease Games should listen to player feedback regarding this addition, and implement it in some fashion. The mechanic does bear a stark resemblance to Gold Weapons from Overwatch, which turned out to be quite popular amongst its player base.

Being able to buy camo skins either by grinding through the game or buying them outright would be a fine addition, and having multiple variations would also be appreciated.

Netease should capitalize on this demand

It’s clear from the comments section of the post, that players are not against the idea of more cosmetics being added to the game. Netease Games could do themselves a solid favor and figure out a way to implement these features into the game.

Of course, weapon skins would have to have entirely new effects to make them more appealing. As such, new animations and visual perks could be added to further enhance their appeal.

These ‘special’ weapons would have to be cheaper than your usual, full-fledged skins though. This would perhaps help popularize it further, given their relatively low point of entry and appeal.

Additionally, Netease would likely also find it beneficial if they sold skin and weapon skins together as a bundle, offering a way for players to ‘complete’ a set. This and many more ideas can be incorporated into the game without negatively affecting its balancing of heroes in any shape or form.

That’s not to say that Rivals has a lack of cosmetics – far from it, as the game presents players with multiple skins, both paid and grindable. It’s just that adding in a new set of skins would add further to the complexity, which would be appreciated by its playerbase.
