Jeff the Land Shark is getting a new costume skin during the Marvel Rivals Winter Celebration event, which kicks off on December 20, 2024. In this fun new costume, Jeff dons a snowboarder’s outfit that features adorable goggles, a cozy scarf, and a zip-up jacket to keep him warm. Dubbed the Cuddly Fuzzlefin, this outfit can be earned simply by getting involved in the seasonal festivities.
The Cuddly Fuzzlefin skin is part of a special bundle, offering more than just a new appearance for Jeff. Along with the skin, players will also receive an exclusive MVP animation for Jeff, as showcased in the event’s trailer. Like other skins available for purchase, this bundle will likely include a unique nameplate, a spray, and a themed emote related to the costume.
Joining the Marvel Rivals’ Winter Celebration Event
Log into the Game at the Right Time
To take part in the Winter Celebration event, simply log into the game while the event is active. This festive event runs from December 20, 2024, to January 9, 2024, giving you ample opportunity to unlock all the limited-time skins connected to the celebration. In addition to Jeff’s Cuddly Fuzzlefin costume, players can also earn new looks for Groot, Rocket Raccoon, Venom, and Magik in Marvel Rivals.
Here are the start times for the Winter Celebration event in different time zones:
- PST: December 19 at 11 PM
- CET: December 20 at 8 AM
- EST: December 20 at 2 AM
- GMT: December 20 at 7 AM
As soon as the event starts, your game may need to update to introduce all the new content. This update will happen simultaneously on all platforms, so there’s no need to worry about delays on specific systems.
Upon entering the event, players will receive a Winter Greeting card from Jeff that includes “special rewards.” Specifics about these rewards are still under wraps, but they will likely relate to character or profile cosmetics. Even with the addition of a new mode themed around the event, players don’t need to participate in that mode to take part; simply logging in at the right time does the trick.
How to Obtain Jeff the Land Shark: Cuddly Fuzzlefin Costume
Complete Goals Tied to a New Game Mode
The Cuddly Fuzzlefin costume represents a completely free outfit among the new skins for the Winter Celebration event. However, this doesn’t mean that you will automatically receive it just by logging in and claiming the Winter Greeting card rewards. Given the emphasis on Jeff the Land Shark during this seasonal content, players will likely need to complete specific tasks to earn this skin.
A new game mode titled “Jeff’s Winter Splash” will be added to Marvel Rivals, featuring different objectives and challenges you can tackle to earn the Cuddly Fuzzlefin skin. Similar to Daily or Weekly Missions, players can earn in-game currency by participating in matches in this new mode. Completing enough objectives in “Jeff’s Winter Splash” should help you unlock the skin without spending any real-world money.
In “Jeff’s Winter Splash”, a 4v4 match sees each player assume the role of Jeff the Land Shark, using their abilities to spray paint and cover a map. The team that manages to cover more of the map with their paint at the end of the match wins.
The specific objectives for this new mode can vary, but they might include:
- Achieving a Specific Number of Eliminations
- Winning Several Matches
- Securing MVP in a Match
- Covering a Greater Percentage of the Map to Win
Playing more matches in “Jeff’s Winter Splash” should naturally help you achieve your goals. Once you unlock the skin, you can claim the accompanying bundle for free, providing you with various cosmetic options that reflect the event’s theme. You can always check which missions you still need to complete for the skin through your profile settings.
When you have the skin, you can equip it anytime before a match or within Jeff the Land Shark’s hero profile settings. If you manage to get the Cuddly Fuzzlefin costume in Marvel Rivals, you might want to start working toward the other skins available during the Winter Celebration before they’re no longer obtainable.
