Master Aiming Techniques: Guide to Improve Marvel Rivals Skills

Marvel Rivals Season 0: Conquer Aim Issues by Disabling Mouse Acceleration

Many Marvel Rivals players, while enjoying the game's diverse roster and maps, have reported aim inconsistencies, especially as they climb the Competitive Play ladder. This guide explains how to resolve this common problem by disabling mouse acceleration and aim smoothing.

Marvel Rivals defaults to enabling mouse acceleration/aim smoothing. While beneficial for controller users, this feature often hinders precise aiming for keyboard and mouse players, impacting flick shots and responsiveness. Unlike many games, there's no in-game setting to disable it.

Fortunately, a simple workaround exists. By directly modifying a game file, you can achieve high-precision mouse input without resorting to mods or cheats. This method simply alters existing settings, similar to changing your crosshair or sensitivity.

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

1. Open the Run dialog (Windows key + R).

2. Paste this path, replacing "YOURUSERNAMEHERE" with your Windows username (found under This PC > Windows > Users):

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

3. Press Enter. Right-click the GameUserSettings file and open it with Notepad.

4. Add the following lines to the bottom of the file:

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

5. Save and close the file. You've now disabled mouse smoothing and acceleration, enabling raw mouse input for enhanced precision.

This simple adjustment should significantly improve your aiming accuracy in Marvel Rivals.
