Master Aiming Techniques for Success in Marvel Rivals

Many Marvel Rivals players, especially those climbing the Competitive Play ladder, have reported aim issues during Season 0 – Doom's Rise. This guide explains how to resolve aiming inconsistencies caused by the game's default mouse acceleration and aim smoothing.

Marvel Rivals enables mouse acceleration/aim smoothing by default. Unlike many games, there's no in-game setting to disable it. While useful for controller players, many keyboard and mouse users find it hinders precise aiming, especially for quick shots. The preference for enabling or disabling this feature is entirely personal and depends on individual playstyles and preferred heroes.

Fortunately, a simple fix exists for PC players. This involves directly modifying a game file—a common practice for adjusting settings in many games—and is not considered cheating or modding. Altering this file is similar to changing in-game settings like crosshair or sensitivity.

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

1. Open the Run dialog box (Windows key + R).
2. Paste this path, replacing "YOURUSERNAMEHERE" with your Windows username: C:\Users\YOURUSERNAMEHERE\AppData\Local\Marvel\Saved\Config\Windows (Find your username under This PC > Windows > Users if needed).
3. Press Enter. This opens the directory containing your game settings. Right-click the GameUserSettings file and open it with Notepad.
4. At the file's end, add these lines:

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

5. Save and close the file. Mouse smoothing and acceleration are now disabled, ensuring raw mouse input for improved aiming precision.
