How to Aim Better in Marvel Rivals on Console ⇒ MarvelRivalsHub

If you’ve been struggling to land your shots in Marvel Rivals on console, there’s a good chance your aim isn’t actually as bad as you think — your settings and practice habits might just be holding you back.

In a recent video, RIDDLES broke down how he learned to aim more consistently on the console version of the game, sharing settings tweaks, training routines, and hero-specific tips to level up your accuracy.

Here’s a full recap.

🎯 Understand the Three Types of Aiming

Before anything else, know what kind of aim you’re working on:

Loose Aim – Less precision required, more forgiving.
Tracking Aim – Keeping your crosshair locked on moving targets.
Hitscan – Precision-heavy; your shots hit instantly if aimed correctly.

Characters like Hela require deadly hitscan accuracy, while heroes like Magic are far more forgiving.

⚙️ Optimize Your Controller Settings

Go to Settings → Controller → Combat and focus on more than just your sensitivity.

RIDDLES’ base values (adjust to taste):

Sensitivity: 160 (both horizontal & vertical)
Response Curve: Classic (feels more natural than Linear)
Eye Gaze Targeting / Deadzones:
- Min Input: 1
- Max Input: 1
- Other key values: 0, 0, 30, Off, Off, 35, 105

Adjust these slightly if you have stick drift or prefer a different feel. These numbers are just a strong starting point.

🎯 Crosshair Choice Matters

Use small, static crosshairs for hitscan heroes to avoid visual clutter.
For projectile-based heroes, customize for visibility — you’ll need to aim ahead of moving targets.

🏟 Use the In-Game Training Room (Properly)

Head to the Parameters section in the practice range and create your own aim drills:

Pick a small, fast hero to practice against (e.g., Luna Snow or Rocket Raccoon).
Settings to try:
- Movement Speed: Random
- Range: Long
- Combat Style: Advanced
- Timer: Off
Save this as a preset for repeated practice.

These bots will move faster than in real matches, forcing you to sharpen your aim and reaction speed.

🧠 Train With Different Hero Archetypes

Hitscan: Hela, Psylocke – Focus on pure accuracy.
Projectile: Moon Knight, Storm – Practice leading shots and predicting movement.
Tracking: Emma Frost, Star-Lord – Keep your aim glued to fast-moving targets.

For projectile heroes, try turning off your crosshair temporarily and focus on tracking the enemy model instead — this trains your eyes to lead shots naturally.

🔄 Keep Moving While You Aim

Don’t stand still in the training room — replicate real match movement:

Strafe
Jump
Dash
Maintain target tracking under pressure

You can even 1v1 a single bot for duel-style practice, but multiple bots help simulate teamfight chaos.

🦸 Hero-Specific Aim Drills

Spider-Man: No cooldowns in practice → spam webs to improve skillshot consistency.
Bucky: Drill hook accuracy repeatedly.
Luna Snow: Perfect icicle throws for range picks.
Emma Frost: Excellent for building tracking fundamentals.

💡 Comfort Heroes First

If you’re struggling with aim-heavy heroes like Hela, Phoenix, or Bucky, start on easier aim characters until you build muscle memory.

RIDDLES recommends Emma Frost for learning tracking, then moving to tougher heroes as your confidence grows.

🏆 Final Advice – Practice With Purpose

RIDDLES has over 550 hours in Marvel Rivals and insists the biggest difference-maker is consistent, focused practice.

“Between the settings, practicing, and having a good crosshair, you can definitely aim. You just need to put in the time.”
