Fixes and Optimizations

All Platforms

• Spectator Camera Sorcery: Custom camera controls were under a spell and wouldn’t work in spectator mode. Doctor Strange waved his hand and fixed it. Now you can watch the action from every angle, mystic or otherwise!
• Cloak & Dagger’s Keybinding Tango: Some of their keybinds were entangled like the Chronoverse. Now, the keys are coordinated, and the duo’s moves are as synchronized as their powers.  

Heroes

• Deadpool’s Dangerous Dash – Maximum Effort, Minimum Glitches: Wade’s Hazardous Hijinks/Healing Hijinks could have issues when being controlled during the dash. Now, Deadpool’s juggling act is as smooth as his witty banter. No more slip-ups, just pure Merc magic.  
• Daredevil’s Portal Parkour: Matt Murdock occasionally went off-script, teleporting to odd locations when using portals. We’ve fixed the radar sense; now Daredevil’s portal plays are as precise as his courtroom arguments.  
• Black Widow’s Red Room Rifle Reboot: Natasha’s Ultimate Ability had a bad habit of unexpectedly applying extra Vulnerability to some hero shields. We called in the Black Widow Program for a reboot; now her stings strictly inflict the correct amount of Vulnerability.  
• Scarlet Witch’s Spider-Tracking Chaos Magic: Wanda’s Mystic Projection unintentionally attracted Peni Parker’s Spider-Drones like a magical moth to a radioactive flame. We’ve rewritten reality; now her Phased state is Peni-proof. No more spider surprises!  

And that wraps up the Marvel Rivals Season 6.5 patch notes. Are you excited for the content update? Let us know in the comments.
