Marvel Rivals players question "pointless" battle pass that's challenging everyone to grind for a special Thor skin that they'll immediately lose when the beta ends

A screenshot of Marvel Rivals' 'Herald of Thunder' Thor skin shown on the Galacta's Quest battle pass.

There's less than a week now until Marvel Rivals' closed beta wraps up, and hero shooter fans are currently in shambles, faced with a tight deadline to unlock a cool battle pass skin that's going to vanish into the ether as soon as the beta ends. 

If you've been playing NetEase Games' Marvel-flavored third-person shooter, then chances are that you've been dutifully making your way through Galacta's Quest – a free battle pass available to all Marvel Rivals closed beta players. All the way up to level 42, you can unlock a new reward, with the one right at the very end being a fancy 'Herald of Thunder' Thor skin. However, players are only able to carry a small number of these rewards over to the full version of the game, and bafflingly, this doesn't include the Thor skin, making everyone question if there's any point to grinding for it in the first place.
