Marvel Rivals Season 0: Fine-Tuning Your Aim

Many Marvel Rivals players have mastered the maps, heroes, and abilities during Season 0 – Doom's Rise. However, as players climb the competitive ladder, some are experiencing aim issues. If your aim feels off, you're not alone. Many players have found a simple solution to improve accuracy by disabling a default setting. This guide explains why your aim might be inaccurate and how to fix it.

How to Disable Mouse Acceleration and Aim Smoothing

Marvel Rivals defaults to enabling mouse acceleration/aim smoothing. Unlike many games, there's no in-game setting to disable it. While beneficial for controller users, many keyboard and mouse players prefer to disable it for better precision, especially for flick shots. The preference is personal and depends on your playstyle and preferred heroes.

Fortunately, a simple PC fix exists. You can manually edit a game file to disable this feature without resorting to modding or cheating. This file updates whenever you adjust in-game settings like crosshair or sensitivity.

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

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 (If unsure of your username, navigate to This PC > Windows > Users).
3. Press Enter. 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, prioritizing raw mouse input for enhanced precision.
