To excel in Marvel Rivals, optimizing controller settings is key. The article suggests turning off vibration for better aim and experimenting with horizontal and vertical sensitivity, ideally between 180 and 100. Fine-tuning aim assist is crucial, avoiding overly strong reticle lock. Disabling 'Auto-Swing' for heroes like Venom and Spider-Man grants precise control.

Analyzing settings of various players, it was found that in Marvel Rivals, the ideal range for Horizontal and Vertical sensitivity lays between 180 and 100, respectively. It is important to experiment with these settings as it mostly comes down to preference.Furthermore, Marvel Rivals boasts a highly effective aim assist. However, keeping this setting at 100 often forces your reticle to be locked at enemies you don’t necessarily want to target. Which is why lowering its value is recommended.Another important hero-based setting to turn off is the ‘Auto-Swing’ setting for Venom and Spider-Man. This gives you precise control of the position and direction of the swing.
