Marvel Rivals Krakoan Reels Vol. 2 Event Guide: Rewards and How to Complete It
Krakoan Reels Vol. 2 is the Summer Finale fishing event, live Aug 13 to Sep 24. Cast lines to reel in catches and unlock the free Star-Lord "Star Swimmer" skin, plus Black Cat and Winter Soldier costumes on the paid pass, alongside Summer Snapshot and Pop & Win.
Planning to finish the Marvel Rivals Krakoan Reels Vol. 2 fishing event before it ends? If you also want premium summer cosmetics, you can prepare Lattice through the Marvel Rivals top-up page on Topuplist via the official Topuplist store, then use this guide to track the free event rewards, shop content, and event deadlines.
What Is Krakoan Reels Vol. 2?
Krakoan Reels Vol. 2 is part of the Rivals’ Summer Finale ’26 content drop in Marvel Rivals. According to the official Marvel Rivals Version 20260813 Patch Notes, the event invites players to “cast your lines” and reel in new catches for rewards.
The event includes summer-themed rewards such as:
Black Cat - Coastal Cat
Winter Soldier - Summer Soldier
Star-Lord - Star Swimmer
A special creature hidden among the new catches
Other event collection rewards shown in the live client
The official patch confirms these costumes are part of Krakoan Reels Vol. 2, but it does not clearly label every costume as free or paid in the public patch text. Check the in-game event pass for the final free and premium reward split.
Krakoan Reels Vol. 2 Dates
Event | Start | End |
|---|---|---|
Krakoan Reels Vol. 2 | August 13, 2026, 09:00 UTC | September 24, 2026, 09:00 UTC |
Summer Snapshot | August 13, 2026, 09:00 UTC | September 24, 2026, 09:00 UTC |
Pop & Win | August 13, 2026, 09:00 UTC | September 24, 2026, 09:00 UTC |
Storm - Sacred Skies Bundle | August 13, 2026, 09:00 UTC | September 11, 2026, 09:00 UTC |
Do not assume all summer content has the same deadline. Krakoan Reels Vol. 2 runs until September 24, while Storm’s Sacred Skies Bundle leaves on September 11.
How the Fishing Event Works
Krakoan Reels Vol. 2 is a fishing-themed collection event. The official patch describes it as a catch-based activity where players reel in new catches and collect rewards.
The practical loop is:
Open the Krakoan Reels Vol. 2 event page.
Participate in the fishing activity.
Reel in catches to fill the collection.
Claim rewards as they unlock.
Check whether rewards are on free or premium tracks.
Finish before September 24 at 09:00 UTC.
Because the public patch does not list every progression detail, use the live event page as the final source for bait, pass levels, free rewards, premium rewards, and claim requirements.
Confirmed Krakoan Reels Vol. 2 Costume Rewards
Hero | Costume | Confirmed Detail |
|---|---|---|
Black Cat | Coastal Cat | Listed as a Krakoan Reels Vol. 2 costume |
Winter Soldier | Summer Soldier | Listed as a Krakoan Reels Vol. 2 costume |
Star-Lord | Star Swimmer | Listed as a Krakoan Reels Vol. 2 costume |
The August 13 patch also lists chromas tied to these costumes:
Black Cat - Coastal Cat: Pearl Paws and Golden Claws
Winter Soldier - Summer Soldier: Chill Current
Star-Lord - Star Swimmer: Stellar Splash
If you are only playing for free rewards, check the in-game track first and confirm which costume is on the free path in your client before spending currency.
Is Star-Lord - Star Swimmer Free?
Some community guides describe Star-Lord - Star Swimmer as the free costume of Krakoan Reels Vol. 2. However, the official August 13 patch notes only state that Krakoan Reels Vol. 2 includes costumes like Black Cat - Coastal Cat, Winter Soldier - Summer Soldier, and Star-Lord - Star Swimmer.
A safe publishable answer is:
Star-Lord - Star Swimmer is confirmed as a Krakoan Reels Vol. 2 costume, but players should check the live event pass to confirm whether it is on the free track in their region.
Black Cat and Winter Soldier Rewards
Black Cat - Coastal Cat and Winter Soldier - Summer Soldier are also listed as Krakoan Reels Vol. 2 costume rewards. Their chromas are confirmed in the official patch notes.
Because the official patch does not publicly spell out the free/premium split, do not claim that both are paid-only unless the live client confirms it. The better wording is:
Black Cat and Winter Soldier are part of the Krakoan Reels Vol. 2 reward set. Check the event pass in-game to see whether they require premium access or event currency.
Special Creature Among the Catches
The official patch teases “a mischievous, special little creature” swimming among the new catches. The same update also adds a swimming animation for Jeff the Land Shark when he enters deep water at Hellfire Bay Beach.
It is reasonable to mention that players may connect the tease to Jeff, but do not state that the special creature is confirmed to be Jeff unless the event collection names it directly.
Summer Snapshot: Easy 100 Units
Summer Snapshot runs alongside Krakoan Reels Vol. 2 from August 13 to September 24. The official patch says players can use beach photo spots, take a snapshot, share it, and instantly earn 100 Units.
This is one of the easiest rewards in the summer finale. Do it early, especially if you are saving Units for cosmetics or event content.
Pop & Win: Magik and Scarlet Witch Discounts
Pop & Win also runs from August 13 to September 24. This round spotlights:
Magik - Soul Surfer
Scarlet Witch - Seaside Sorceress
The patch says players have a chance to get these costumes at a discounted price. Since Pop & Win is draw-style content, always check the live odds, discount structure, and final cost before spending.
If you need Lattice for premium store content, use the Marvel Rivals top-up page on Topuplist after checking the in-game price.
Lattice, Units and Event Progress
Keep the currencies separate:
Currency / Progress | Main Use |
|---|---|
Lattice | Premium store purchases and selected paid content |
Units | In-game currency used for some cosmetics and event purchases |
Event Progress | Krakoan Reels collection and reward progression |
Pop & Win Attempts | Draw-style discount event progress |
Topuplist is relevant for topping up premium currency. It does not replace event participation, and it does not directly complete Krakoan Reels.
Best Completion Strategy
Start with the free event path. Open Krakoan Reels Vol. 2, progress the fishing collection, and claim every reward that is available without premium access.
Then complete Summer Snapshot for the easy 100 Units.
After that, decide whether you want:
Star-Lord - Star Swimmer
Black Cat - Coastal Cat
Winter Soldier - Summer Soldier
Magik - Soul Surfer through Pop & Win
Scarlet Witch - Seaside Sorceress through Pop & Win
Storm - Sacred Skies from the store bundle
Do not wait until the final week. Krakoan Reels runs until September 24, but store bundles and other summer content may close earlier.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
The first mistake is assuming every costume is free. Check the event pass before planning.
The second mistake is assuming every summer item ends on September 24. Storm’s bundle ends September 11.
The third mistake is calling the special creature Jeff before the event collection confirms it.
The fourth mistake is confusing Units with Lattice. Units are earned or used in-game; Lattice is the premium currency.
The fifth mistake is forgetting to claim rewards manually after progressing the fishing collection.
Final Checklist
Before September 24:
Finish Krakoan Reels Vol. 2 fishing progression.
Claim all unlocked rewards.
Confirm the free and premium reward split in-game.
Complete Summer Snapshot for 100 Units.
Check Pop & Win if you want Magik or Scarlet Witch.
Spend any event-specific currency before the event closes.
Review store deadlines separately.
If you are buying premium summer cosmetics, prepare Lattice through the Marvel Rivals top-up page on Topuplist via Topuplist after confirming prices in the live shop.
