Players Risk Bans to Mod MARVEL RIVALS Post-Season 1 Clampdown

Jan 13, 2025 9:55 AM

Marvel Rivals players are still risking account bans by using mods following the release of Season 1. Despite developer NetEase implementing new restrictions, including asset hash checking, many players continue to modify the game to create custom skins. Popular mods include transforming characters like Iron Man into Vegeta and Mantis into a goth version. The developer has reiterated that modding is against the game's terms, warning players of the risks involved. Nevertheless, a workaround for the mod restrictions has emerged, with players eager to include new characters like those from the Fantastic Four. NetEase's concerns regarding mods focus on potential revenue loss, gameplay balance disruptions, and performance issues. Players using mods should proceed with caution, as the fate of bans remains uncertain.

Will using mods in Marvel Rivals get me banned?

While developers NetEase have warned that using mods could lead to bans, there haven't been confirmed cases of players being permanently banned yet. However, the situation remains risky, and players are advised to proceed at their own risk.

Marvel Rivals is a multiplayer online game that combines various Marvel characters for competitive play. Since its release in December 2024, it has gained substantial popularity among fans, particularly due to its unique gameplay mechanics and character diversity. The introduction of Season 1 has further fueled excitement, bringing new heroes and gameplay adjustments that are essential for keeping the community engaged. Players are encouraged to utilize official channels for updates on character performance and special offers.
