Step-by-Step Guide on How To Install Marvel Rival Mods on PC

Follow the instructions below to start installing mods in Marvel Rivals for PC users:

• Download a Marvel Rivals Mod From Nexus Mods

Here is a detailed explanation of each step.

Download a Marvel Rivals Mod From Nexus Mods

You can find a lot of Marvel Rivals mods on the Nexus Mods website. You can even create an account for free so you can save your download history. This can be handy so you can easily redownload some mods in the game. 

Once you choose the mod you want, select the “Manual” download button on the right side of the cover image. Afterward, select “Slow Download” if you don’t have a premium subscription. Don’t worry about the speed, it will only take a moment to download the mod.

Unlike other games, you don’t have to download the Vortex Mod Manager. If this pops up while you are browsing mods, simply ignore it.

Locate the Game Folder Location

Now that you have the mods downloaded, you have to add it. Hop on to Steam and select Marvel Rivals from your library. Right-click the game then navigate to the “Manage” section and select “Browse Local Files.”

Navigate To “MarvelGame > Marvel > Content > Paks” Folder

Once you are in the main game folder, navigate to MarvelGame > Marvel > Content > Paks folder. This is where you will be adding your mods.

Create a “~mods” Folder

Right-click your mouse inside the Paks folder and create a new folder named “~mods.” Open this folder and proceed to the next step.

Extract Mods to the “~mods” Folder

Extract all the Marvel Rivals mods you downloaded from Nexus Mods to the “~mods” folder. Now you are ready to play the game with the mod installed.

Launch Marvel Rivals

Head back to Steam and play Marvel Rivals. The mod should automatically apply in the game. 

Do Marvel Rivals Mods Get You Banned

There is a possibility that you will be penalized for using mods in Marvel Rivals on PC. The developers clarified in the official Discord server of the game how they don’t suggest installing mods for the game as it can cause unexpected issues.

Aside from that, if you use mods that give you an unfair advantage over other players and you get caught, you could get banned from the game. Other players can also report you if they find you suspicious.

Cosmetic mods are technically safe, as they don’t alter gameplay mechanics or give players any competitive edge. That said, this is purely speculative and unconfirmed. Please use Marvel Rivals mods at your own risk.

Can You Install Marvel Rivals Mods on Console

Unfortunately, mods are not supported on the console versions of Marvel Rivals. To use mods, you’ll need to play on a PC and add them through the Nexus Mod website. Modding is unlikely to be introduced as a feature on consoles, as the game was not designed to be modded by players.

Tips and Tricks When Installing Mods for Marvel Rivals on PC

Here are a few tips and tricks you can take note of when installing mods for Marvel Rivals:

• Dedicate a folder where you place all the unextracted mods files. This reduces the clutter of your downloads folder.
• Make a clean backup of your game. In case it breaks the game beyond recovery, you can easily replace the broken game files instead of downloading the game form scratch.
• Read the comments and reviews on a mod page. Some mods look good on paper but can actually be problematic when installed. Check user reviews first before installing.
• Read mod descriptions. I know installing Marvel Rivals mods is easy. However, sometimes, mod authors add extra instructions which can prevent issues.
