Marvel Rivals October Update: Which Types of Mods Can Trigger Anti-Cheat?
Closed thread Closed by archiveJust a heads-up for anyone who uses custom modifications in Marvel Rivals.
The October 15 announcement is worth reading because it specifically discusses modifications that affect the game's original presentation and competitive balance.
The examples include things like:
- Changing structural models or textures to create a visibility advantage.
- Removing recoil, screen shake or visual effects.
- Changing in-game sounds to make enemy positions easier to identify.
- Enlarging character models.
The announcement also discusses memory injection and anti-cheat detection.
I think a lot of people assume that anything described as a visual or cosmetic mod must be harmless. That's clearly not a safe assumption.
Have you read the announcement yet? What part do you think players are most likely to misunderstand?

Replies are closedThe biggest misunderstanding is probably thinking that changing how something looks automatically makes it harmless. The announcement specifically calls out modifications that create an unfair competitive advantage. Read the official notice before installing anything.
Also worth remembering that a previous suspension being lifted doesn't mean the modification has become permitted. The developers explicitly addressed that point in their notice.
Good discussion, but please don't share instructions or download links for bypassing anti-cheat detection here. Keep this thread focused on understanding the rules and protecting your account.
