The “candle knife” in Rivals looks like a knife skin that has been appearing in recent videos and clips, but the public results I found do not confirm a single official unlock method yet. The safest answer is that it’s most likely obtained through a limited-time event, update reward, or special unlock challenge rather than a normal shop purchase.

What seems most likely

  • Watch for a new event or seasonal update in Rivals, since recent posts about similar knife skins point to event-style unlocks.
  • Check the in-game knife or cosmetics menus for a hidden challenge, milestone, or limited-time claim button.
  • If the item is tied to a recent patch, creators often unlock it by completing a special requirement shown in the update or video title.

Best way to get it

  1. Open Rivals and look at the knife skin list for any locked candle-themed item.
  1. Check the current event tab, seasonal shop, and reward track for a candle or birthday-themed knife.
  1. Search recent Rivals clips or guides for the exact unlock steps, since creator posts are currently the clearest public clues.

Quick note

There is evidence of a birthday candle knife skin being discussed very recently, which suggests the item may be new or event-related rather than always available. If you want, I can also turn this into a short Roblox-style guide post with a title, headings, and a clean FAQ format.
