Marvel Rivals: Sharpen Your Aim

Many *Marvel Rivals* players, especially those climbing the Competitive Play ladder, have reported feeling a lack of control over their aim during Season 0 – Doom's Rise. This isn't unusual, as mastering the game's diverse heroes and maps takes time. If your aim feels off, you're not alone. Many players have found a simple solution: disabling mouse acceleration and aim smoothing.

This guide explains why your aim might feel inaccurate and how to fix it.

How to Disable Mouse Acceleration and Aim Smoothing in Marvel Rivals

In *Marvel Rivals*, mouse acceleration/aim smoothing is enabled by default. 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 improved precision, especially for flick shots. The preference is personal; some players find it helpful, while others prefer raw input.

Fortunately, you can disable this feature on PC by editing a game file. This is not considered cheating or modding; it simply modifies an existing setting, similar to adjusting your crosshair or sensitivity.

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

1. Open the Run dialog (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. This opens the directory containing your settings. Right-click GameUserSettings and open it with Notepad.
4. At the bottom of the file, 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.
