Customization is coming to Rivals

Update 1.5 is bringing vanity items to Rivals. You can customize units and missile explosions to personalize your experience or use Commander emotes to react in real-time to the action on the battlefield. Let’s take a look at the new vanity items coming soon.

Unit Skins

In a field of red and blue units, it’s difficult to stand out and get noticed. We’re adding four new unit skins in the next update - two purchased from the Store and two as event rewards.

      

Explojis

As a player, it’s satisfying when the enemy’s base explodes, bringing you one step closer to victory. Soon, you’ll be able to customize your missile explosions with our new explojis which changes the missile explosion effect. The exact effect will depend on the exploji that you use. Check out the new explojis coming soon to Rivals.

      

      

Emotes

The third type of vanity items that we will be introducing are emotes. Commander emotes can be used during battle say “GG” to a tough competitor or “Oops” for a mis-microed unit. Each Commander has their own set of emotes.
