How to Unlock the Free Hawkeye 'Will of Galacta' Skin in Marvel Rivals Season 3

Free Hawkeye Skins Up for Grabs in Marvel Rivals Season 3

The hunt for eye-catching cosmetics in Marvel Rivals just got a fresh twist. Season 3, called The Abyss Awakens, kicks off with a Twitch Drop event that drops exclusive Hawkeye rewards into players’ laps. The top prize? The Hawkeye Will of Galacta costume, and it won't cost you a single cent—just some hours of watching Twitch streams.

Here’s how it works: from July 11 to August 8, 2025, you rack up rewards by clocking specific watch times on certain Marvel Rivals Twitch channels. The goodies are spread out based on minutes spent glued to one channel at a time (watching two streams at once doesn’t help—sorry, multitaskers). And don’t even think about muting the stream. Twitch wants proof you’re actually paying attention, so mute at your own risk.

  • 30 minutes: Hawkeye (Will of Galacta) Spray
  • 1 hour: Hawkeye (Will of Galacta) Nameplate
  • 2 hours: Hawkeye (Galactic Bow) Emotes
  • 4 hours: Hawkeye (Will of Galacta) Costume

If you love flexing cartoon archers, you’ll want to leave your Twitch account connected to Marvel Rivals before you start watching. Rewards only show up if those accounts are linked. You’re free to let the stream play in the background, but again—don’t hit mute entirely or you could miss out on the loot.

Season 3: New Heroes and Costumes Land in the Game

Season 3: New Heroes and Costumes Land in the Game

Marvel Rivals has been generous in the past with Twitch Drops. We’ve already seen exclusive drops for Magneto, Emma Frost, and Hela. Season 3 builds on that with some amazing additions. Phoenix (that’s Jean Grey for the comic nerds) and Blade join the growing roster of playable heroes. If you’re all about skins, there’s more: premium looks for Queen in Black Hela and Emma Frost (decked out as Phoenix Force) arrive, but these will only be available through in-game purchases—not Twitch Drops.

For cost-conscious gamers, though, Twitch Drops are where the real value sits. This season’s event marks the game’s seventh such campaign, showing just how much attention the developers are giving to fan engagement. Freebies like the Will of Galacta Hawkeye skin don’t come around often, so fans of archery and Marvel lore should set a reminder for mid-July.

Whether you’re a Hawkeye loyalist or just looking to spice up your loadout, logging some hours on a Marvel Rivals stream might be the easiest way to score unique bling without opening your wallet. The campaign is short but stacked with themed prizes, and you can bet folks will be showing off that Will of Galacta costume for seasons to come.

    Oh wow another free skin
    because clearly the devs don't make enough money from 90 dollar battle passes and 20 dollar alternate costumes
    how noble of them to give us crumbs while they profit off our addiction
    the real will of galacta is the will to monetize

    You're all so gullible
    they're using this as a data harvest tool
    you think they care if you watch 4 hours
    they care that you're watching while logged in so they can track your behavior patterns
    and then sell your attention to the highest bidder
    you're not getting a skin you're getting a surveillance badge

    Bro i watched this on my phone while on the bus
    got the spray and nameplate and now i feel like a space archer
    also shoutout to the streamer who played Hawkeye vs Thanos for 2 hours straight
    he was yelling at his screen like it was a live action movie
    weird but fun

    If you're thinking about doing this just start tonight
    you don't need to binge it all at once
    do 30 mins while you're chilling after work
    you'll get the spray and it feels so good to unlock something without spending a dime
    and the costume looks insane in game
    trust me you'll want it

    LMAO the galactic bow emote is peak lore
    it's like if hawkeye got possessed by the cosmic energy of the universe and started shooting supernovas
    also the twitch drop system is actually kinda genius
    they're not just giving away free stuff
    they're creating a community ritual
    you're not just watching a stream
    you're participating in a digital pilgrimage

    I'm just glad I didn't fall for this
    you're all so desperate for validation through pixels
    why do you need a skin to feel like a hero
    real power comes from within
    not from watching a stream while your account is linked
    :(

    got the emote and now i just spam it every time i kill someone
    its so dumb but i love it
    also why is it called will of galacta
    is that a new avenger
    or just a fancy name for a bow
    also i think i saw a glitch where the spray showed up as a black hole

    I started watching at 11pm just to get the spray
    ended up staying until 1am because the streamer was doing a full lore breakdown of the galacta mythos
    and honestly
    it was beautiful
    the music
    the visuals
    the way they tied it to hawkeye's journey
    you don't just get a skin
    you get a piece of the story

    I watched this while sipping tea in my flat in London
    the whole thing felt like a cosmic folk tale
    hawkeye as a vessel for the galacta will
    it's not just a skin
    it's a myth reborn in pixels
    and the emote
    oh the emote
    it's like he's channeling the breath of a dying star
    absolutely magical

    I think this is the first time a game made me feel like i was part of something bigger
    not just grinding for loot
    but connecting with others who care about the same lore
    the will of galacta isn't just a costume
    it's a symbol of patience
    of paying attention
    of choosing to witness something beautiful instead of just chasing the next dopamine hit
    we're all just trying to find meaning in a digital world
    and this
    this feels like it

    Actually the 4 hour requirement is misleading
    you have to watch 4 hours on a single stream
    not cumulatively
    and only on official channels
    and you have to keep your mic off but audio on
    and your twitch account must be linked before you start
    and you can't switch tabs
    and the rewards are delayed by up to 24 hours
    and the game client must be running in the background
    so if you think it's easy
    you're wrong

    They call it free
    but it's not
    it's a trap
    you give them your time
    your attention
    your soul
    and in return they give you a glowing arrow
    the will of galacta is not a skin
    it's a surrender
    and you all are just happy to kneel
