Marvel Rivals Players Confused by Collectibles That Can’t Be Used In-game

Marvel Rivals has seen immense success since its release, garnering widespread praise. However, there are a few issues that have caught players' attention. One of the most notable concerns is the game's cosmetics, particularly the collectibles. Players are finding these items puzzling, as they essentially offer no in-game benefits. Let’s dive into the details.

Marvel Rivals Players Criticize Collectibles as "Useless" Due to Lack of Gameplay Functionality

In Marvel Rivals, players are rewarded with various cosmetics and items as they progress through the game - whether it's grinding the battle pass, climbing the ranks, or completing missions. Among the highlights, however, are the Collectibles.

These special items are part of the game's cosmetic collection and offer additional lore from different maps when clicked on. However, as players have pointed out on Reddit, many find these Collectibles to be "useless" since they don’t offer any in-game advantages, even cosmetically.

One player expressed frustration, saying, "Man, the free ones are completely useless wastes of coding and UI, but you have to buy some to be able to buy skins you unlock through grinding?" Another user questioned, "...what's the point of this item that I can't turn or do anything with? Why is there an item on the purchasable battle pass that you can't do anything with? lol"

Many players also expected the Collectibles to function like the Souvenirs in Overwatch 2, where you could pull out an item as an emote. However, this is not the case, leaving some players feeling that the items are "kinda pointless." While the current consensus seems to be that these Collectibles have little value, there are speculations that they might be used in future updates for Marvel Rivals. Only time will tell.
