• Corrupted Weapons: Special Weapon Variants
  Special alternate versions of existing weapons, often with unique visual effects and altered firing modes or properties. Obtained by exchanging Corrupted Shards and the original weapon with Dwell in Ward 13. Examples: Corrupted Aphelion, Corrupted Merciless.

• Cosmetic Skins: There is no armor system that affects gameplay stats. Players can unlock and equip a vast array of cosmetic skins for each hero, many of which are inspired by iconic costumes from Marvel comics and films.

• Armor Sets (Head, Body, Legs, Gloves): Players can equip a full armor set consisting of four pieces: Head Armor, Body Armor, Leg Armor, and Gloves. Each piece contributes to the overall Armor value (damage reduction), Weight (affecting stamina regeneration and dodge roll speed - Light, Medium, Heavy, Ultra Heavy rolls), and elemental resistances (e.g., Fire, Shock, Blight, Corrode). Many sets also provide unique passive set bonuses when multiple pieces are equipped.
• Leto Mark I & II Armor Sets: Known for being extremely heavy armor sets, providing very high damage reduction at the cost of a slow 'flop' dodge roll (Leto Mark I) or a slightly better heavy roll (Leto Mark II). Popular for tank builds.
• Radiant Armor Set: An example of a set that might provide bonuses related to critical hits or sustained fire, often with a distinct visual appearance.
• Void Armor Set: A heavy armor set that often provides a perk related to taking damage, such as a temporary damage buff after being hit.
• Elder Armor Set: A set often associated with support or healing capabilities, potentially boosting Relic use or ally buffs.

• Armor Skins / Cosmetic Transmog (Limited): While full transmog is not a primary feature, some armor sets are visually distinct, and certain pre-order/Deluxe edition bonuses provided unique armor appearances. The focus is primarily on stats and set bonuses rather than extensive cosmetic layering of armor pieces.

• Hero Skins: The primary form of customization. Players can acquire a wide variety of cosmetic skins for each hero through the seasonal Battle Pass, in-game store, or special events. These skins change the entire character model to reflect different looks from Marvel's history.

• Archetype Starting Armor: Each starting Archetype (e.g., Challenger, Handler, Hunter, Gunslinger, Medic) comes with a visually distinct set of armor (Head, Body, Legs, Gloves) that reflects their theme and role. These are actual gear pieces with stats.
• World-Dropped & Crafted Armor Sets: Numerous armor sets can be found as loot in the various worlds, crafted from materials, or purchased from merchants. Each set has a unique appearance and provides different defensive stats, elemental resistances, and often set bonuses that synergize with specific playstyles or Archetypes.
• Deluxe & Ultimate Edition Armor Sets (Cosmetic/Early Unlocks): The Deluxe Edition included three armor sets: Elder Armor Set, Radiant Armor Set, and Void Armor Set. These provide unique aesthetics and starting gear options.
• DLC Armor Sets: Each DLC ('The Awakened King,' 'The Forgotten Kingdom,' 'The Dark Horizon') introduces new armor sets with unique designs and perks thematic to the new content and worlds.
• Helmet Visibility Toggle: Players usually have the option to toggle the visibility of their equipped helmet, allowing them to see their character's face while still receiving the stats from the head armor.

Progression is cosmetic and skill-based. Players level up their account and individual heroes to unlock cosmetic rewards. The core gameplay is not based on stat upgrades but on player skill and mastery of each hero's unique abilities. Each hero has a primary fire, several cooldown-based abilities, and a powerful ultimate ability.

The game features a variety of arena-style maps designed for 6v6 combat. These are not open worlds but are highly detailed, multi-layered environments based on famous Marvel locations. Examples include Yggsgard (a fusion of Asgard and Yggdrasil), Tokyo 2099, the Royal Palace of Wakanda, and Krakoa. Many maps feature destructible elements that can alter sightlines and cover.

• DLC Campaigns (The Awakened King, The Forgotten Kingdom, The Dark Horizon)
  Each DLC adds a new self-contained storyline within one of the existing game worlds (Losomn, Yaesha, N'Erud respectively), introducing new areas, dungeons, bosses, enemies, items, and a new playable Archetype.

• OFFICIAL AND EXTRAPOLATED SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS for Marvel Rivals. This information is based on the official PC specifications from developer NetEase Games, adapted to the requested JSON structure. As a fast-paced hero shooter built on Unreal Engine 5, the requirements are moderate to ensure accessibility for competitive play. Laptop and future-generation GPU listings are extrapolated based on performance benchmarks.
• Laptop Performance Note: Laptop versions of the listed desktop GPUs require comparable performance, which is highly dependent on the laptop's TGP (Total Graphics Power) and thermal design. For a competitive shooter like Marvel Rivals, maintaining a high and stable framerate is key, making a laptop with a strong CPU and a well-cooled, high-TGP GPU very important.
• Laptop Consideration: G P U T G P: A high TGP is essential to ensure the GPU can maintain its boost clocks during intense, graphically demanding team fights, preventing performance drops.
• Laptop Consideration: Cooling Thermals: The game can be demanding during chaotic moments. A robust cooling system is necessary to prevent thermal throttling and ensure consistent performance, which is critical for competitive play.
• Laptop Consideration: C P U Power Limits: Strong single-core and multi-core CPU performance is important for processing the game's physics and character abilities without bottlenecking the GPU. Adequate power delivery to the CPU is key.
• Laptop Consideration: M U X Switch Optimus: A MUX switch or NVIDIA Advanced Optimus is highly recommended to minimize system latency, providing a tangible advantage in a fast-paced shooter where reaction time is critical.
• Optimization Detail: Upscaling Tech: The game supports a full suite of upscaling technologies, including NVIDIA DLSS, AMD FSR, and Intel XeSS. NVIDIA Reflex is also supported to reduce system latency. Using these technologies is the primary way to achieve high refresh rate gameplay.
• Optimization Detail: Key Settings Impact: Performance is most affected by settings like Global Illumination, Reflections, Shadows, and Effects Quality. For competitive play, many users will opt for lower settings to maximize framerate and clarity.
