3 articlesIf you’re playing Marvel Rivals and your aiming feels off, you might not be using the best settings for you. This particularly affects controller players.
Marvel Rivals has some odd settings for controllers by default, with deadzones and aim assist settings that do more harm than good. It’s no big deal for PC gamers, though, since they just only have to adjust mouse sensitivity. Sensitivity also depends a lot on the mouse used and personal preference, so there are no “best” settings for it. However, playing the game with a controller can be quite a pain with default settings…
In this guide, we’ll give you some of the best settings to help improve aiming in Marvel Rivals!
