Marvel Rivals Infinity War Mode Explained
Path to Doomsday — Avengers: Infinity War puts 12 players into six duo squads. Each round matches two squads head-to-head, and the first duo to collect all six Infinity Stones wins. It is a different objective from an ordinary team match, so begin by learning the mode’s round and collection rules rather than importing a standard objective route.
The Infinity War duo mode and Infinity Finale reward event remain available, but their original Times Square promotion ended October 22. The new Avengers: Endgame event has its own rewards and restricted mode sessions. Check the activity’s full name before following a reward instruction.
Key Takeaways
- Infinity War uses six squads of two, with head-to-head rounds.
- The match-winning objective is collecting all six Infinity Stones first.
- The mode ends December 11 at 09:00 UTC.
- Infinity Finale ends a day earlier, December 10 at 09:00 UTC, and includes a free Thor costume through quests.
- The original Infinity War Times Square promotion ended October 22. Endgame’s replacement promotion has different rewards and a November 26 endpoint.
- Event rewards, paid bundles, Twitch Drops and ranked rewards have separate conditions.
The format and dates below follow the official Season 10.5 patch notes. Check the live mode and quest panels for the current detailed rules and objective wording.
All the Important Dates in One Table
Do the earliest expiring activity first if you want to collect several rewards. Do not use the mode’s December 11 closing date as the deadline for every promotion shown beside it.
| Activity | End time, UTC | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Infinity War Times Square promotion — ended | October 22, 2026 · 09:00 | Historical Gallery Card, Avengers Emblem Spray and 100 Units offer; no longer a current task. |
| Angela Twitch Drops | November 6, 2026 · 09:00 | Linked-account and watch/claim conditions on the active Drops campaign |
| Infinity Finale event | December 10, 2026 · 09:00 | The free Thor costume quest track and any separate paid rewards |
| Infinity War game mode | December 11, 2026 · 09:00 | The duo mode itself |
The October 22 Infinity War Times Square deadline has passed. The active Infinity War duo mode, Infinity Finale quests and Angela Drops keep their own later dates. A new Endgame Times Square promotion does not reopen the old Gallery Card or Spray offer.
All dates are published in UTC. Maintenance or a revised announcement can affect access, so use the official notes and live panels if a displayed schedule changes.
How the Six-Duo Format Changes Your Plan
You have one immediate partner rather than a full standard team around you. Agree on a simple opening, who takes the first engagement and when to disengage. Avoid choosing two independent plans that leave one player facing a duo alone.
Watch the Stone objective and between-round information. Winning a fight is part of the process; the published final victory condition is completing the six-Stone collection. Use the live interface to understand how the current round contributes to that goal.
| Before a round | During the round | After the round |
|---|---|---|
| Agree on an opening position and a target call. | Stay close enough to respond to your partner’s engagement. | Read the updated collection and next-round information. |
| Check both hero kits and the current rules. | Call a retreat when one player cannot support the fight. | Identify one change for the next contest. |
| Choose a pair you understand. | Track the actual objective rather than only personal eliminations. | Avoid blaming the entire hero pairing for an uncoordinated opening. |
These are coordination principles, not a proven tier list. Season 10.5 balance changes can affect individual heroes, and an announcement alone does not establish a best duo or a universal counter to every opponent.
How to Get the Free Thor Costume
The Infinity Finale event offers Thor — The Avengers for free by completing quests. Open its event panel, read the current quest requirements and inspect the claim state after meeting them.
The same event presentation includes Avengers: Infinity War-inspired content for Black Panther, Doctor Strange and others. Do not infer that every displayed costume or bundle is free because Thor’s is. Read each reward track or purchase label individually.
The event closes December 10 at 09:00 UTC. Check it before the final day rather than assuming that playing the mode on December 11 will still complete or claim the event’s quests.
Times Square: The Old Offer Ended, Endgame Replaces It
The original Avengers: Infinity War screening and photo-wall promotion ended October 22 at 09:00 UTC. Its Gallery Card, Avengers Emblem Spray and 100 Units instructions are historical; they should not remain on a current collection plan.
The October 22 update replaces it with an Endgame promotion through November 26 at 09:00 UTC: watch the Endgame screening continuously for two minutes for its Gallery Card, and take an NPC group photo at the iconic scene photo walls outside the Avengers’ Gift Shop for 100 Units. The notes do not list the old Avengers Emblem Spray for this new photo reward.
The Endgame mode starts separately on October 24 with limited sessions. Use the Endgame session-time and reward guide before arranging a group. Its free Captain America costume is separate from Infinity Finale’s Thor reward.
Keep the Other Reward Tracks Separate
The Angela — Will of Galacta Twitch campaign runs until November 6 at 09:00 UTC. Its linked-account, watch and claim steps belong to the active Drops campaign. The Season 10.5 Gold-tier ranked costume is Jeff — Razor-Tooth, a different reward path from Infinity Finale.

FAQ
How many players are in Infinity War mode?
Twelve players form six duo squads. Each round pits two squads against each other, and the first squad to collect all six Infinity Stones wins.
When does the mode end?
The official mode period ends December 11, 2026 at 09:00 UTC. Infinity Finale’s reward event ends December 10 at the same UTC hour, so the two deadlines should not be treated as interchangeable.
Is Thor’s The Avengers costume free?
Yes. The Season 10.5 notes specify that the costume can be earned free through Infinity Finale quests. Inspect the event panel for its current objectives and claim conditions.
How do I get the free 100 Units?
The old Infinity War offer ended October 22. The replacement Endgame promotion offers 100 Units for taking an NPC group photo outside the Avengers’ Gift Shop, through November 26 at 09:00 UTC. Do not assume the old Spray is included in the new offer.
Why did the screening reward not appear?
First check which screening and promotion you mean. The Infinity War promotion has ended. The Endgame promotion requires watching its screening continuously for two minutes; unrelated match time or the old screening’s instructions do not establish that reward.
What is the best duo for this mode?
The format announcement does not establish one. Start with a pair both players understand, agree on engagements and review current hero changes. This guide does not invent win rates, Stone-specific ability effects or a tested best-pair ranking.
Last reviewed October 24, 2026. Archived the ended Infinity War Times Square tasks, removed their obsolete timer, and distinguished the current Endgame replacement from the still-active duo mode and Thor quest event. No firsthand gameplay testing is claimed.
