Marvel Rivals is one of the best hero shooters ever to be released. In a world where Overwatch 2 lost the plot and Team Fortress 2 hasn’t had a major update in years, it feels like a godsend.
But what if I told you that you could make it better? Modders never disappoint, no matter the game or genre. So, here are our picks for the best mods for Marvel Rivals.

Top Marvel Rivals mods
FPS Boost
- Creator: jackknife2025

As with most Unreal Engine 5 games lately, Marvel Rivals seems to have caught a bad case of poor optimization. The game does not run well on most machines, with stutters being the most common problem voiced by the player base. The FPS Boost mod tweaks the game’s .ini settings to make it less demanding (and significantly worse looking) and to fix its stuttering issues. It is not a guarantee that this mod will fix everything that might be troubling your instance of the game, though it should relieve a lot.
Pairing this mod with the built-in FSR 3.1 and frame generation (if you can hit at least 80-90 FPS, don’t toggle it on otherwise) should boost your game’s performance significantly and make it smoother and easier to play. If by some chance the .ini changes do not work, the mod also offers a light tutorial on some in-game settings you should tweak to make it run much better. a lot like Pochita, so not much work had to be done there) and gives this fantastic support hero some extra flair and character, though it’s not like he lacked them in the first place.
Skip intro logo movies – Skip login movie
- Creator: yakuzadeso
- Mod link
Okay, I get it. Everyone wants to see some fancy animations and introductions for their shows, games, and other visual media. However, in the case of live-service titles, which you’ll probably log into several times per day, it can get tiring eventually. This pair of mods from yakuzadeso gets rid of all the annoying logo pop-ups and movies that only delay your jump into the next match. There’s no need to repeatedly remind one that NetEase and Marvel worked on the game while using the Unreal Engine. Once is good enough.
CJ as Winter Soldier
- Creator: Leonaura
- Mod link
It wouldn’t be a list of mods without at least some mention of the GTA: San Andreas protagonist, Carl “CJ” Johnson. He seems to be the first character modded into every single game that supports modding, from Armored Core 6 to Baldur’s Gate 3 and beyond. In Marvel Rivals, he comes in the place of the Winter Soldier, having the ability to hop around and do crazy s**t to everyone on the map, all for the glory of the state of Grove Street, of course.
Big Smoke as The Punisher
- Creator: Leonaura
- Mod link
Why have CJ in the game based on the Marvel universe (known for its many civil wars) and not include his biggest adversary? Big Smoke, at first one of the protagonists and then the main antagonist of GTA: San Andreas, is the perfect antithesis to CJ and his brother, Sweet, who unfortunately doesn’t seem to have a mod of his own just yet. Having him as the Punisher is near-perfect as he can use his firepower to absolutely wreck everything on the many Marvel Rivals maps, following his trigger-happy character from the original game.
Disable Outlines
- Creator: yakuzadeso
- Mod link
While it is undeniable that Marvel Rivals went for that “comic book feel” and aesthetic, the black outlines on characters and items can sometimes be quite jarring. The 3D models look serviceable enough and do not feel too cartoony, making the outlines generally redundant if you don’t like seeing them. The Disable Outlines mod removes them entirely, giving the heroes a more realistic feel and allowing the underlying Unreal Engine 5 to really shine through.
Luna Snow’s ultimate turns to Malas Decisiones
- Creator: TheTwinForces
- Mod link
Okay, so if you’re anything like me, you consume Marvel Rivals not only by playing it, but also browsing guides, memes, reels, and so on. If you also do that, then you must be familiar with a popular online trend that replaces Luna Snow’s ultimate song with the “Malas Decisiones” cover by CrystalMolly. And yes, now you can modify your game and add it.
Outside of being a superhero and arguably the strongest Strategist in Marvel Rivals, Luna is a K-pop star, so hearing her sing during feels very on-theme. It was only a matter of time before someone added “Malas Decisiones” directly into the game.
Disable mouse acceleration
- Creator: Lucario1461416
- Mod link
Having perfect aim in Marvel Rivals is something we all wish we had. Each champion has a different projectile speed and range, so it’s extremely time-consuming to polish your accuracy in the game. However, if you’re keen on elevating that aspect of your play, you might want to toy with this Disable Mouse Acceleration mod.
Like the name suggests, it turns off mouse acceleration, which makes your cursor movement more directly correlate to mouse movement. In theory, it gives you more control over your aim, but you need to get used to it at first.
Star-Lord’s ultimate plays Come and Get Your Love
- Creator: DdisturbedD
- Mod link
We’ve already had one music mod on this list, but when we stumbled upon this Star-Lord tweak, we couldn’t ignore it. It’s hard not to love the Guardians of the Galaxy movies, and many of the franchise’s hallmarks stand out among MCU films—including music selection. “Come and Get Your Love” by Redbone is one of the iconic songs used by the team, and Star-Lord in particular. Having it in game when the Duelist is using his ultimate sounds too good to be true.
Batman over Moon Knight
- Creator: Smelliots Mods
- Mod link
What is this? The game is called Marvel Rivals, not DC Rivals. Yeah, we know, but modders always find a way to introduce other renowned characters via mods, and this one couldn’t be more perfect. The mod transforms Moon Knight’s model into Batman, which feels like a perfect character to be replaced by the Caped Crusader. In the end, Moon Knight glides using his cape as well, and we can easily picture Batman using some moon-like tech projectiles.
Remove warning panel
- Creator: Phoixxx
- Mod link
We’d like to round up our list with another small and convenient mod. Remove Warning Panel by Phoixxx does exactly what its name suggests—it deletes the panel that pops up every time you launch the game. We obviously don’t discourage having and reading such warnings ourselves, but if someone boots Marvel Rivals for their 100th or 200th time, they’re obviously familiar with it. This mod just gets rid of it for convenience.
