- Fans criticize Jeff the Land Shark's Incognito Dolphin skin in Marvel Rivals as pay-to-lose due to its bulky design.

Marvel Rivals fans took to social media to express disappointment with Jeff the Land Shark's Incognito Dolphin skin, claiming it is pay-to-lose. Jeff was the focus of Marvel Rivals' recent Winter Celebration, which featured a mode where every participant played as the tiny shark while attempting to cover the map in frost. By the end of the event, gamers were able to earn a free Cuddly Fuzzlefin skin for the hero.
Jeff the Land Shark is a Strategist in Marvel Rivals, which means his main objective is to provide healing and support to his allies while occasionally taking out foes during opportune moments. His primary ability creates a healing stream, which he can sweep across the field to heal allies. He also has the ability to create bubbles that players can run through to both heal and gain a speed boost. The tiny shark even has one of the most powerful ultimates in the game, which allows him to swallow up enemies, damage them while they're held, and potentially launch foes off the edge of the map when he spits them out.
Marvel Rivals Players Think One Hero’s Ultimate Is Bugged
Marvel Rivals players take to social media to show that one hero's ultimate ability may be bugged in NetEase Game's popular hero shooter.
In a recent post on Reddit, Deva_Way claimed that Jeff the Land Shark's Incognito Dolphin skin is pay-to-lose. After using all the Units they'd earned while playing the hero shooter, the Redditor decided to purchase the popular skin for Jeff in Marvel Rivals. Unfortunately, once they equipped the costume, the player noticed that Jeff took up more space on the screen. This is because the outfit doesn't simply recolor Jeff, it places him in a thick fuzzy pink dolphin costume, which adds length and width to the character's profile.
Marvel Rivals’ Incognito Dolphin Skin May Be Pay-to-Lose
Jeff's Incognito Dolphin bundle is labeled as "Hot" within the game's shop, meaning it's one of the title's better selling cosmetics. While many fans empathized with Deva_Way, others still claimed that Incognito Dolphin is one of the best skins in Marvel Rivals, insisting that its cute design outweighed any possible downside. One player claimed that they will continue to use the skin in the game's Competitive mode, despite the visual bulk and vibrant colors that make Jeff more visible to enemies.
By completing challenges and achievements, gamers can earn Units to buy skins in Marvel Rivals. While some seasonal quests reward players with currency, Heroic Journey achievements provide the most Units, along with two free skins for Storm and Star-Lord. Fans can also use Lattice to supplement Units when buying cosmetics, allowing players to use a combination of earned and purchased currency. With a variety of ways to acquire skins for popular heroes, many fans feel NetEase Games has created a free-to-play title that truly allows gamers to earn rewards.
