Don’t miss the Marvel Snap Steampunk Variant Rush event
Nuverse’s Marvel Snap is still working hard to make the superhero-themed, mobile card game fun and rewarding. Besides tinkering with the cards, fixing bugs, and crafting new ways to play against opponents, Marvel Snap is big on frequently updating the art of the cards. These new styles are called variants, and they play a huge part in the game’s store and events. During the newest update, the second-ever Variant Rush began. From March 21 through April 4, opening Collector’s Caches could get you the newest variant theme: Steampunk!
Not every card is getting a Steampunk makeover, but there is a small list of cards and titles that players may snag while they play the game. The last Variant Rush was the Winterverse event, and I’m still longing for that winter Rogue card. Alas, variants offered during these events hypothetically won’t be offered again once they’re over. They are event exclusives, so if you’re really into this style, you’ll want to clear your schedule.
Though I did see one Steampunk Variant in my Store, for the most part, these cards are obtained by opening Collector’s Caches. When you update cards and move up Collection Levels, you’ll continue to get new cards. After level 506, you’ll have access to Collector’s Caches and Tokens. This is when the “Series” or “Pool” three cards are revealed to players working their way up the ladder.
For this event, there is now an even higher chance of unlocking a Steampunk Variant. According to Stephen Jerrett, the leading product designer for Marvel Snap developer Second Dinner, the drop rate for Variants has doubled since the last event, likely in an effort to make it more worthwhile for players who are excited to participate.
