One Marvel Rivals player recently discovered that, once a cheater is detected, every player in a match is alerted, and the bout ends without impacting anyone’s stats. Cheaters are a constant problem in online games, and Marvel Rivels is no exception. Many players have cited encounters with these rule breakers, especially in higher levels of ranked play.

NetEase Games’ popular hero shooter is currently nearing the middle of Season 1: Eternal Night Falls, which has introduced Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman to Marvel Rivals. The developers have stated that players can expect to see Human Torch and The Thing added to the title’s ever-expanding roster in a large mid-season update. In an effort to keep the community excited and engaged, the developers also promised that they would be releasing a new hero every six weeks. While many gamers were surprised to hear that new characters would continue to arrive so quickly, they were also enthusiastic about NetEase Games’ approach to keeping the playerbase invigorated.
In a recent post on Reddit, BeautifulAd399 shared a screenshot of what happens when a cheater is caught in the middle of a game. The words “cheating player detected” appear in bold red letters against a yellow background. The text underneath explains that the match has been canceled, and nothing that happened during the match will be recorded on the player’s career page. This was welcome news to many players, as a large portion of the community had been frustrated with cheaters in Marvel Rivals in the past.
