The Standout Skins You Need to See
There’s a lot of variety within the cosmetics themselves, with designs ranging from classic looks to futuristic concepts that showcase NetEase’s creative ambition.
Infinity Ultron steals the show as the most visually striking addition. The skin depicts a version of the villain who successfully collected all six Infinity Stones, radiating raw cosmic power with each animation. It’s the kind of “what-if” scenario that Marvel fans have dreamed about seeing in-game.
The Punisher gets a creepy, Frankenstein-like monster makeover with glowing red eyes, jagged scars, and his signature skull logo. This horror-themed approach perfectly complements the game’s Zombie Mode, making it an instant fan favorite.
Namor goes full king of the seas with a look that feels like a mix between pirate and sea creature, with animations featuring a massive kraken swirling around him. The attention to detail in these animations elevates the skin beyond just a costume change.

Season 5 Context: Love is a Battlefield

FAQs
Q: Do I need to purchase the Premium Battle Pass to get any Season 5 skins, or are some available on the free track?
A: Season 5 includes both paid and free skins in the Battle Pass, following the same structure as previous seasons. While NetEase hasn’t revealed the exact split, based on historical patterns, expect approximately 2-3 free cosmetics (likely sprays, emotes, or lower-rarity skins) on the free track, with all 10 premium hero skins locked behind the 950 Units Premium Pass. The FREE Jeff Anniversary skin is available to all players without any purchase required during the November 28 – December 5 event window. If you’re budget-conscious, consider that the Premium Pass costs less than two store-exclusive epic skins (1,600 units each), making it the best value proposition if you want multiple cosmetics. Additionally, completing the pass rewards enough Units to purchase the next season’s pass, essentially making it a one-time investment if you consistently complete Battle Passes.
Q: Will the Season 5 Battle Pass skins ever return after the season ends, or are they exclusive forever?
A: NetEase hasn’t officially confirmed whether Battle Pass skins will return in future seasons or remain permanently exclusive. However, industry standards suggest Battle Pass cosmetics typically maintain exclusivity to preserve their value and reward players who participated during that season. Store skins and event cosmetics have historically rotated back into availability during special occasions (anniversaries, holiday events), but dedicated Battle Pass rewards rarely return. If you’re eyeing specific skins like Infinity Ultron or Franken-Castle Punisher, your safest bet is acquiring them during Season 5, which runs from November 14, 2025 through early January 2026. That said, early data-mines suggest additional cosmetics will be released alongside the Battle Pass, potentially including limited-time event skins or store exclusives for heroes not featured in the main pass. These alternative cosmetics might offer second chances for specific heroes, though designs will differ from Battle Pass exclusives.
