Marvel Rivals has garnered overwhelming player enthusiasm during Season 0 - Doom's Rise, as participants familiarize themselves with maps, hero abilities, and ideal character synergies for their playstyles. However, as competitors progress into ranked matches, many report noticeable inconsistencies with their aiming mechanics.

Optimizing Your Shooting Precision in Marvel Rivals

If you've experienced aiming frustration while adapting to Marvel Rivals' diverse hero roster, you're joining a growing player consensus. Fortunately, the community has identified an effective solution for one of the primary causes of imprecise aim. Below we detail the source of this aiming discrepancy and provide a comprehensive fix to enhance your gameplay accuracy.

Disabling Mouse Acceleration and Aim Smoothing in Marvel Rivals

Unlike most competitive shooters, Marvel Rivals currently lacks an in-game option to disable mouse acceleration and aim smoothing—features enabled by default that particularly benefit controller users. For mouse-and-keyboard players, these settings often hinder precise flick shots and reaction-based aiming. Personal preference ultimately determines whether these features should remain active based on individual playstyles and hero selection.

The solution involves a straightforward modification to the game's configuration files—a completely legitimate adjustment that doesn't involve third-party software or game file manipulation. This process simply toggles settings that would typically appear in standard options menus, similar to adjusting crosshair preferences or sensitivity settings.

Step-by-Step Guide to Disable Aim Smoothing

1. Launch the Run dialog (Windows key + R shortcut)
2. Input this directory path, replacing "YOURUSERNAMEHERE" with your actual Windows profile name:
   • C:\Users\YOURUSERNAMEHERE\AppData\Local\Marvel\Saved\Config\Windows
   • Note: Locate your username via 'This PC' if uncertain
3. Navigate to and right-click the GameUserSettings.ini file, selecting 'Open with Notepad'
4. Insert these commands at the file's conclusion:

[\/script\/engine.inputsettings]
bEnableMouseSmoothing=False
bViewAccelerationEnabled=False

After saving these changes, you'll achieve raw mouse input equivalent to standard FPS titles. For additional precision, include these supplementary parameters below the existing code:

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

These adjustments will deliver the responsive aiming experience competitive players expect, particularly beneficial for precision-focused heroes and high-level play.
