Tips to Enhance Your Accuracy in Marvel Rivals

Marvel Rivals: Mastering Your Aim – Disabling Mouse Acceleration and Aim Smoothing

Season 0 of Marvel Rivals has been a whirlwind, with players mastering maps, heroes, and playstyles. However, many are discovering aim inconsistencies as they climb the Competitive Play ladder. This guide addresses the common frustration of imprecise aim and offers a simple solution.

Many players are finding their aim feels off due to a default setting in Marvel Rivals: mouse acceleration/aim smoothing. Unlike many games, this feature lacks an in-game toggle. While beneficial for controller users, it often hinders mouse and keyboard players aiming for precise flick shots and responsive movements. The preference for enabling or disabling this feature is entirely personal, depending on individual playstyles and preferred heroes.

The solution involves a straightforward manual adjustment to the game's settings file. This is not considered cheating or modding; it simply modifies a setting already present, akin to adjusting in-game settings like crosshair or sensitivity.

Step-by-Step Guide to Disabling Aim Smoothing/Mouse Acceleration:

1. Access the Run Dialog: Use the Windows key + R shortcut.

2. Navigate to the Save File Location: Paste the following path into the Run dialog, replacing "YOURUSERNAMEHERE" with your actual Windows username (found by navigating to This PC > Windows > Users):

   C:\Users\YOURUSERNAMEHERE\AppData\Local\Marvel\Saved\Config\Windows

3. Open the Settings File: Press Enter. Locate the GameUserSettings file, right-click, and open it with Notepad (or a similar text editor).

4. Add the Code: At the end of the file, add the following lines of code:

   [/script/engine.inputsettings]
   bEnableMouseSmoothing=False
   bViewAccelerationEnabled=False
   bDisableMouseAcceleration=False
   RawMouseInputEnabled=1

5. Save and Close: Save the changes and close the Notepad file. Mouse smoothing and acceleration should now be disabled in your Marvel Rivals game, prioritizing raw mouse input.

By following these steps, you can significantly improve your aim precision and enjoy a more responsive gameplay experience in Marvel Rivals. Remember, this is a simple configuration change, not a modification that violates game rules.
