All Marvel Rivals Devil Dino Hide and Seek Event Rewards and How to Get Them (October 2026)

The Devil Dino Hide and Seek event is a limited-time Marvel Rivals Season 8 event running from May 15 to July 10, 2026. Players complete Decrypt and Search missions across four timelines to earn the Holo Rex Nameplate, two sprays, two gallery cards, Chrono Tokens, and Units. Lunella Lafayette (Moon Girl) needs your help tracking down her colossal companion, and the rewards for finding him are worth the effort.

Our team has been grinding through the event since launch day, and in this guide we break down every single reward, walk you through each mission, and share the farming strategies that will save you hours of playtime. Whether you are a seasoned Marvel Rivals player or just jumped into Season 8, this guide covers everything you need to collect all the Devil Dino Hide and Seek event rewards before the deadline.

What Is the Devil Dino Hide and Seek Event in Marvel Rivals

The Devil Dino Hide and Seek event launched alongside Season 8 of Marvel Rivals, bringing a fresh limited-time event centered around Moon Girl and her giant red T-Rex companion, Devil Dinosaur. The story is simple but charming: Devil Dino has gone missing, and Lunella needs players to complete missions to track him down across multiple timelines.

This is NetEase’s latest seasonal event, and it follows the same general structure as previous limited-time events in Marvel Rivals. Players earn rewards by completing two types of missions: Decrypt missions and Search missions. These are spread across four separate timelines that unlock over the course of the event.

Community reception has been mostly positive, with players appreciating the straightforward mission structure. However, some fans on the Marvel Rivals subreddit have expressed disappointment that this event does not include a free skin, especially compared to earlier events that offered cosmetic character skins as final rewards.

Devil Dino Hide and Seek Event Dates

The event runs from May 15, 2026, through July 10, 2026. That gives you roughly eight weeks to complete all four timelines and collect every reward. Season 8 itself started on the same date, so if you jumped into the new season on day one, you have been able to start the event right away.

Timelines unlock progressively, meaning you cannot access Timeline 2 until you have completed Timeline 1, and so on. Based on the current pace and past event schedules, expect new timelines to unlock every two weeks. We cover the known Timeline 2, 3, and 4 details further below.

All Devil Dino Hide and Seek Event Rewards

Before diving into the mission breakdowns, here is the complete list of everything you can earn from this event. The rewards are spread across all four timelines, so you will need to work through each one to collect the full set.

Holo Rex Nameplate

The headline reward for this event is the Holo Rex Nameplate. This holographic dinosaur-themed nameplate displays beside your username in lobbies and matches. It is the final reward at the end of Timeline 4, so you will need to complete every mission across all timelines to earn it. The holographic effect makes it one of the more visually striking nameplates in the game, and it is exclusive to this event.

Star-Snacking Solo Spray

Unlocked through Timeline 1 Decrypt missions, the Star-Snacking Solo Spray features Devil Dinosaur happily chowing down on what appears to be a star. It is a fun, lighthearted cosmetic that works well as a victory spray at the end of matches. If you are a spray collector, this one stands out from the standard seasonal offerings.

Where Are You Spray

The Where Are You Spray is the Search mission counterpart for Timeline 1. This one shows Moon Girl looking around, searching for her missing dinosaur companion. Both sprays are unlocked relatively early in the event, so most players who complete Timeline 1 will have them within the first week or two of grinding.

Adventure Capital Gallery Card

Gallery cards are profile customization items that display on your player profile. The Adventure Capital Gallery Card is earned through Timeline 2 missions and features artwork themed around Moon Girl and Devil Dino’s adventures. Like the other event cosmetics, this card is exclusive to the event and will not be available once July 10 passes.

Hostile Takeover Gallery Card

The second gallery card, Hostile Takeover, comes from Timeline 3 missions. It has a more dramatic tone compared to the Adventure Capital card, fitting the escalating storyline as players get closer to finding Devil Dinosaur. Collecting both gallery cards gives your profile a coordinated seasonal look.

Chrono Tokens

Scattered across all four timelines, Chrono Tokens serve as the premium currency reward in this event. You earn them at various milestones throughout the Decrypt and Search missions. These tokens can be used in the general game store, making them valuable even if you are not interested in the cosmetic rewards. Based on Timeline 1 alone, expect to earn a few hundred Chrono Tokens, with more coming from later timelines.

Units

Units are the standard in-game currency earned through event missions. Like Chrono Tokens, you accumulate Units across all timelines. While Units are less rare than Chrono Tokens, they are still useful for purchasing items from the shop. Every mission completion chips away at the total Unit reward pool.

A Note on Free Skins

Unlike some previous Marvel Rivals events, the Devil Dino Hide and Seek event does not include a free character skin as a reward. Previous seasons have offered limited-time skins (such as the Jeff pixel filter skin in Season 6), so the absence here has been a point of discussion in the community. If a free skin is important to you, keep an eye on future events within Season 8.

How to Get All Devil Dino Hide and Seek Event Rewards

Earning these rewards comes down to completing two mission types across four timelines. Here is how the system works.

Decrypt missions are stat-based objectives. These require you to accumulate specific in-game stats across multiple matches, such as dealing a certain amount of damage, blocking damage, getting eliminations, or earning assists. Progress carries over between matches, so you do not need to hit the target in a single game.

Search missions are action-based objectives. These tend to be more specific, such as playing a certain number of matches in a particular game mode, winning matches, or completing other gameplay milestones. These are generally straightforward and accumulate naturally as you play.

Both mission types count across all standard game modes: Quick Match, Competitive, Arcade, and Practice vs AI. This is important because it means you can choose whatever mode you enjoy most to progress through the event. Practice vs AI is particularly useful if you want a relaxed environment to knock out stat-based missions.

Timeline 1 Missions and Rewards

Timeline 1 is available from the start of the event and contains the first batch of Decrypt and Search missions. Below is the full breakdown of every mission, its objective, and the reward you receive for completing it.

Timeline 1 Decrypt Missions

Decrypt missions in Timeline 1 focus on accumulating stats across matches. Here are all six Decrypt missions:

Mission 1: Deal 20,000 damage across all matches. Reward: 100 Chrono Tokens. This is one of the easiest missions in the event. If you play a damage-dealing Duelist like Hela or Black Panther, you can knock this out in two or three Quick Match games.

Mission 2: Block 15,000 damage as a Vanguard. Reward: 50 Units. This mission requires playing a tank hero. Venom, Magneto, and the newly added Devil Dinosaur himself are strong picks here. If tank is not your usual role, Practice vs AI makes this less painful.

Mission 3: Earn 30 eliminations across all matches. Reward: Star-Snacking Solo Spray. Eliminations stack up naturally as you play. Aggressive Duelists will finish this quickly, but any role contributes over time.

Mission 4: Heal or shield 25,000 damage as a Strategist. Reward: 75 Chrono Tokens. If you play healers like Luna Snow or Mantis, this accumulates passively. If not, spending a few games in Practice vs AI as a support hero is an easy way to clear it.

Mission 5: Deal 40,000 damage across all matches. Reward: 100 Units. A scaled-up version of Mission 1. By the time you reach this, you should be well on your way if you have been playing regularly.

Mission 6: Take 30,000 total damage across all matches. Reward: 100 Chrono Tokens. This is where playing a tank pays off double. Vanguards naturally absorb huge amounts of damage, so if you have been grinding the tank mission already, this stacks alongside it.

Timeline 1 Search Missions

Search missions are match-based objectives that count simply by playing games. Here are all six:

Mission 1: Play 5 matches in any game mode. Reward: 50 Chrono Tokens. The simplest mission in the event. Five matches in any mode and you are done.

Mission 2: Play 3 matches as a Vanguard. Reward: 50 Units. If you already play tank regularly, this is automatic. Otherwise, queue up three Practice vs AI games as any Vanguard hero.

Mission 3: Win 3 matches in any game mode. Reward: 75 Chrono Tokens. Wins can be inconsistent, so play modes you are most comfortable with. Quick Match tends to be the fastest option for farming wins.

Mission 4: Play 5 matches in Quick Match or Competitive. Reward: Where Are You Spray. This is the second spray reward and it unlocks by simply playing five matches in the two core modes.

Mission 5: Play 3 matches as a Duelist. Reward: 75 Units. Straightforward if you play DPS. Three games and it is done.

Mission 6: Play 8 matches in any game mode. Reward: 100 Chrono Tokens. The cumulative grind mission. By the time you finish the other Search missions, you will likely have most of these eight matches already completed.

Completing all 12 missions in Timeline 1 earns you the Star-Snacking Solo Spray, the Where Are You Spray, and a solid chunk of Chrono Tokens and Units. After clearing every mission, Timeline 2 unlocks.

Timeline 2, 3, and 4 Missions Overview

Timelines 2, 3, and 4 follow the same structure as Timeline 1, each with their own set of six Decrypt and six Search missions. While the specific objectives for these later timelines are still being fully documented by the community, here is what we know based on current data and the pattern from previous events.

Timeline 2 is expected to feature stat thresholds that are roughly 50 to 75 percent higher than Timeline 1. If Timeline 1 asks for 20,000 damage, Timeline 2 may ask for 30,000 to 35,000. The reward for completing all Timeline 2 missions includes the Adventure Capital Gallery Card.

Timeline 3 continues the escalation with higher stat requirements and introduces the Hostile Takeover Gallery Card as its capstone reward. Based on how previous events scaled, expect damage requirements in the 50,000 to 60,000 range and match counts of 10 to 12 for some Search missions.

Timeline 4 is the final timeline and the most grind-intensive. This is where you earn the Holo Rex Nameplate. Stat requirements will be the highest of the event, and completing this timeline means you have collected every reward the Devil Dino Hide and Seek event has to offer.

Each timeline is expected to unlock roughly every two weeks following the event start. Based on that schedule, Timeline 2 should unlock around late May, Timeline 3 in mid-June, and Timeline 4 in early July. These are estimates based on past event cadences, and NetEase may adjust the schedule.

Best Way to Grind Through the Devil Dino Event Fast

If you want to collect every reward before July 10, efficiency matters. Our team tested several approaches during the first week of the event, and here are the strategies that made the biggest difference.

Play Vanguard Heroes for Dual Mission Progress

This is the single most impactful tip. Several missions across both Decrypt and Search tracks require playing as a Vanguard or accumulating damage-taken stats. By playing a tank hero, you progress both simultaneously. Venom, Magneto, Groot, and Devil Dinosaur himself are all strong picks for this approach.

The reason this works so well is that Vanguards naturally take massive amounts of damage, which counts toward the damage-taken Decrypt missions. At the same time, you are completing the “play as Vanguard” Search missions. Playing a tank effectively clears two mission tracks at once, cutting your total grinding time significantly.

Pick the Right Game Mode

Quick Match is generally the fastest mode for event grinding. Matches are shorter than Competitive, the queue times are shorter, and the atmosphere is more relaxed, which means less stress when you are playing heroes outside your comfort zone. If you need to knock out three matches as a Strategist for a mission, Quick Match is the way to go.

Practice vs AI is worth considering for specific stat-based missions where you need a low-pressure environment. The AI opponents are predictable, making it easier to control your damage output, block damage on a Vanguard, or heal consistently as a Strategist. The tradeoff is that AI matches may not count for every mission type, so double-check the mission description.

Competitive mode works too, but only play it if you were already planning to rank up. There is no event-specific bonus for playing Competitive, and the longer match times make it less efficient for pure grinding.

Stack Missions Whenever Possible

Before you queue up, check your remaining missions. If you have a Decrypt mission asking for eliminations and a Search mission asking you to play as a Duelist, pick a Duelist and work on both at the same time. Most missions can be overlapped this way, and a single well-chosen hero can progress three or four missions simultaneously.

The key is planning your session before you start playing. Spend two minutes looking at your remaining missions, pick the hero and mode that covers the most objectives, and then play. This approach alone saved our team roughly 30 percent of total grinding time during testing.

Catching Up if You Started Late

If you are reading this weeks into the event, do not panic. The mission objectives are cumulative, meaning your stats carry over between sessions. A late start just means you need to play more matches per session, but there is no penalty for starting late. Focus on the Vanguard dual-progress strategy above and you can burn through Timeline 1 in a single evening of focused play.
