As you'd expect from a new update, Season 2 brings tons of events you can complete for all sorts of free goodies. In fact, it's better than ever, as there are two events giving away great skins right now. While the Wanda's Chaos Gown event simply asks you to play some matches, the Cerebro Database [[link]] event is much more complicated, at least at first glance.
Thanks to stacked menus, confusing terminology, and a hefty task ahead of you, this event is a head-scratcher compared to what we're used to. But you'll need to power through it to earn the Flower Maiden Mantis costume, so it's well worth the effort. Let's face it, the collector in us all would want to nab the skin even if it sucked, but that's beside the point.
How to complete the Cerebro Database event in Marvel Rivals
The Cerebro Database event features four challenge sections, represented by different characters: Emma Frost, Wolverine, Black Panther, and Namor. Complete all four challenges and you'll earn the Flora Maiden skin for Mantis.
To accomplish these challenges, you need to beat individual missions in each section to form three vertical, horizontal, or diagonal
lines on the board. You'll earn a small reward for each line you create in each section.
Importantly, you don't need to beat all the missions within each individual challenge; just enough to form three lines. You're best off completing the easiest missions and ignoring the rest (which will be automatically ticked off at the end to clear the board). Here's my suggestions:
Challenge | Line 1 | Line 2 | Line 3 |
|---|---|---|---|
Emma Frost | Missions one, two, and three for a horizontal line | Missions four, five, and six for a horizontal line | Missions one, four, and seven for a vertical line |
Wolverine | Missions one, two, and three for a horizontal line | Missions two, five, and eight for a vertical line | Missions three, six, and nine for a vertical line |
You're likely to complete some odd missions here and there, since most are actually pretty easy to do by accident, but aiming for these ones will let you finish the event fast.
The Black Panther and Namor challenge sections are time-gated to a later date. I'll add details on which missions to complete in these sections when they become available in-game.
One challenge that's causing a few issues is Wolverine mission five, which tasks you with [[link]] dealing 10,000 damage as any X-Men member in quick play, competitive, or [[link]] practice vs AI. Now, if you're not well-versed in the comics, then you're not going to know which characters are part of this faction, especially as most of the mainstream heroes aren't in Marvel Rivals (not yet, at least). To complete this challenge, play as one of the following X-Men characters:
- Wolverine (also needed for mission nine)
- Emma Frost
- Magik
- Magneto
- Namor
- Psylocke
- Storm
Other than the Flower Maiden Mantis costume, you'll also earn heaps of chrono tokens and units, and profile customisation options such as nameplates and sprays, though we all know the free skin is the biggest treat here.
