What is a photoshoot? Well, in Marvel Rivals...

Photoshoots are a new mechanic in Marvel Rivals that let you take memorable photos. By heading to Times Square, you can interact with special photo booths to take pictures with heroes.

Taking part in a photoshoot also lets you win free units. On top of these units, you can also earn other rewards.

How to join a photoshoot in Marvel Rivals

Head to Times Square, where all the activities are concentrated: you'll need to look for the photo stations, which are generally to the north of the stands, next to the basketball courts. Next, you'll need to choose one of the members of the original Avengers team, the list of whom is as follows:

Captain America
Black Widow
Hulk
Iron Man
Hawkeye
Thor

Optionally, two special characters, Loki and Hulk, are available at a dedicated station.

How to interact with the station

Once a character option has been chosen, head to the station: your character should be shown there as a hologram. If another player is occupying it, wait, or switch characters. When you're ready, simply press the button on the station that appears next to the character switch option.

Note

Take at least one photo to confirm your participation!

Rewards

You can earn 100 units for taking a single photo. To maximize your gains, take part in Doom Match mode right after the photoshoot, as this mode can grant additional rewards and choice cosmetics (including the Kingpin one), provided you play with the most effective characters for this mode.
