Magneto in Marvel Rivals is a strong and dependable Vanguard character from the classic X-Men roster. Although his ability kit is quite simple to understand, the application of his powers on the battlefield can be difficult for beginners. His ability to deal damage surges when teamed up with Scarlet Witch as he can make use of a medium-range blade attack.
Magneto in Marvel Rivals has four cosmetics in the game including the basic version. The base skin is available for all players as this Vanguard remains unlocked by default in the game. So far, the character has one standalone skin, one in the battle pass, and another that comes with a bundle. However, you can choose to purchase only the character skin from the bundle as well.
This article will highlight all the cosmetics available for Magneto in Marvel Rivals.

Uncanny Blacksteel (B-Tier) - 600 Units

The Uncanny Blacksteel is the recolored version of the default Magneto skin that costs you 600 Units. It borrows its inspiration from several X-Men media but is not that much of an upgrade visually compared to the default version. If you love playing as Magneto, it would be wiser to wait till NetEase introduces more skins for him instead of wasting your Units on this outfit.
