Marvel Rivals Latest Update Version 1.000.017 Lets You Recolor Outifts for a Fee
[summaraize]
There’s a new patch for Marvel Rivals out today that introduces an awesome feature, though the way it’s implemented might not sit well with a lot of gamers. Starting with Marvel Rivals update version 1.000.017, players will be able to use shaders to change outfit colors for the game’s characters.
However, this won’t be free, and NetEase has introduced another currency that further muddles up the game’s economy. There are also other fixes in the patch, and even new costumes for Dr. Strange and Peni Parker (premium skins).

Fixes
All Platforms
General
1. Fixed a rare issue where the camera perspective could behave oddly after respawning.
2. Resolved an error where importing reticle settings would sometimes show an invalid character message.
Maps and Modes
1. Fixed several terrain issues that could cause characters to become stuck or clip into strange areas.
Heroes
1. Wolverine’s Claw-some Comeback: Fixed an issue where Wolverine’s Ultimate Ability landing sometimes wouldn’t finish properly in poor network conditions. Now, the best there is at what he does can unleash his fury without any hiccups!
2. Fastball Fumble: Resolved an issue where Wolverine could sometimes be unable to control his direction during the Fastball Special after using it multiple times. Now, every throw will be a claw-some hit!
3. Banner’s Hulk Smash Fix: Resolved a rare model display issue that could sometimes occur when Bruce Banner transformed in terrain kill zones. Now, when the good doctor gets angry, he won’t just smash; he’ll do it with style—HULK SMASH, without the visual chaos!
4. The Thing’s Rocky Report: Corrected the ability icon error in the KO Prompt when the Thing’s Ultimate Ability causes terrain kills. Now, when he brings the pain, the prompt will accurately reflect the mayhem.
5. Spider-Island Resurrection Reboot: Fixed an issue where Adam Warlock could accidentally resurrect teammates in the out-of-play area on Spider-Islands. Now, teammates will return to solid ground instead of being stuck in limbo!
PC

For those wondering how the customization for costumes work, NetEase has explained that they are ushering in a new in-game currency called Unstable Molecules.
How Much Does It Cost to Customize Colors in Marvel Rivals?
Per NetEase, “Customized Color Costumes will cost 600 Unstable Molecules for exchange. Unstable Molecules can be exchanged from Lattice at a 1:1 rate. You must first obtain the costumes before you can customize them. Initially, only a select few costumes will have this feature and we will expand more over time to other costumes. When you customize your colors, this will affect Intro Animation, MVP and Emotes. Starting Season 3, we will provide more options to obtain Unstable Molecules. Please let us know which costumes you want to see with Customized Colors in the future!”
Will players embrace this addition? Hopefully they will, since this is a great addition by NetEase.
