Mastering Marksmanship in Marvel Rivals

Marvel Rivals: Achieving Precise Aim by Disabling Mouse Acceleration and Aim Smoothing

Season 0 of Marvel Rivals has been a hit, allowing players to master maps, heroes, and abilities. However, some players climbing the Competitive Play ladder have reported aim issues. This guide explains how to fix inaccurate aim by disabling a default setting.

Many players experience frustration with their aim in Marvel Rivals due to a default setting: mouse acceleration/aim smoothing. Unlike many games, this isn't directly adjustable in the in-game settings. While beneficial for controller users, it often hinders mouse and keyboard players, impacting flick shots and precise aiming. The solution involves a simple, non-cheating edit to a game file.

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

This process modifies a game file, not the game itself, similar to changing in-game settings like crosshair or sensitivity.

1. Access the Run Dialog: Press the Windows key + R.

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

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

3. Open the GameUserSettings 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 bottom 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 Notepad. Mouse smoothing and acceleration should now be disabled in Marvel Rivals, enabling raw mouse input for improved accuracy.
