Marvel Rivals Season 10.5 mode and event checklist
Separate the new duo mode, overlapping reward windows and October 15 fixes from the October 9 balance pass.

What launched on October 9
Version 20261009 scheduled Season 10.5 for October 9 at 09:00 UTC with roughly two hours of maintenance. Path to Doomsday — Avengers: Infinity War uses 12 players in six duos. Squads compete for Infinity Stones; collecting all six is the stated win objective. Its published mode window ends December 11 at 09:00 UTC.
That mode structure is different from a conventional six-player team. The lineup worksheet is a planning aid for six people, not a simulation of this duo mode or its Stone effects.
Keep the overlapping windows separate
| Activity | Published UTC end | Check before doing it |
|---|---|---|
| Infinity Finale | December 10, 09:00 | Inspect the specific mission and claim conditions; Thor’s The Avengers is the announced free costume. |
| Times Square photo/screening activity | October 22, 09:00 | The announcement describes a continuous two-minute screening and the photo-wall interaction as separate tasks. |
| Angela Twitch Drops | November 6, 09:00 | Check the actual campaign and account connection on the official service; merely opening a guide earns nothing. |
| All Hallows’ Glow | November 13, 09:00 | The October 15 post announces missions for Rocket’s Trash King and distinguishes premium rewards. |
Dates come from the October 9 announcement and October 15 update. The October 22 update later refreshed the Times Square screening and photo activities and opened a second Path to Doomsday phase running to November 26; the news hub and the mid-season check carry those newer windows. The in-game/event service panel controls actual eligibility; we did not claim these rewards during the audit.
A practical session plan
Choose one activity before queuing. Read its mission wording, note the required mode, and leave enough time for the task rather than assuming every match advances every event. After the first attempt, check the counter. If it did not change, compare the exact condition before repeating the same action. Do not spend money solely to test whether a free mission will progress.
Balance and bug fixes are different records
The October 9 balance post has thirteen hero sections. Use the patch viewer for selected changes and their partner conditions. October 15 later fixed a Jeff Blood Hunt interaction, a Black Widow mobility problem and map collisions. That narrower fix list does not establish new ranked tiers or a complete repair for every crash. Record an exact mode and symptom when asking for support.
