Marvel Rivals, the popular multiplayer hero shooter, has taken the gaming world by storm. Available on PC, Xbox, and PlayStation, the game boasts a diverse roster of Marvel heroes and villains, engaging gameplay, and support for both controllers and mouse and keyboard. However, a recent exploit involving keyboard and mouse adapters on consoles has prompted developer NetEase to take swift action.
Console players have discovered a way to gain an unfair advantage by combining the precision of a mouse with the aim assist feature designed for controllers. This combination allows for faster aiming and increased accuracy, disrupting the balanced gameplay experience for others.

NetEase has issued a stern warning to players utilizing this exploit, specifically targeting adapters such as the XIM, Cronus Zen, Titan Two, KeyMander, and Brook Sniper series. However, the company has clarified that any device enabling keyboard and mouse emulation of controller inputs, even if not explicitly listed, will be considered a violation.
The consequences for using these devices range from temporary or permanent account suspensions to removal from leaderboards. NetEase has a history of enforcing its rules and has emphasized the possibility of permanent bans for those caught exploiting the system.
NetEase Games is committed to maintaining a fair and enjoyable playing environment for all Marvel Rivals players. Their focus on equal opportunities extends to cracking down on any form of cheating or exploiting, including the use of offensive mods.
Marvel Rivals recently added the Invisible Woman and more.
This crackdown follows the recent additions of Mr. Fantastic and The Invisible Woman in Season 1, further boosting the game’s popularity, particularly among strategic players. The Invisible Woman has become a fan favorite, often selected immediately upon match start.
Rumors and leaks hint at exciting new content on the horizon, potentially including a PvE game mode, new costumes, and additional characters. While the validity of these leaks remains uncertain, fans have much to anticipate. Regardless of future updates, NetEase urges players to prioritize fair play and avoid any form of cheating, hacking, or exploits.
