The full patch notes for the new Marvel Rivals update, releasing on May 8 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, are as follows:
New Content
- The emote and spray wheel has been reimagined!
- They are now split into two separate wheels with dedicated hotkeys for lightning-fast switching.
- In the Cosmetics – Sprays menu, you can now set your current spray wheel to be shared across all heroes.
- A new quick-equip feature has been added: Emotes can be automatically slot into the corresponding hero’s emote wheel upon acquisition; and when the spray wheel is set to “Apply to All”, newly earned sprays can also be equipped instantly.
- Portraits in “Heroes” have been updated to reflect their currently equipped costumes.
Fixes
All Platforms
Maps and Modes
- Vanquished a glitch that would sometimes occur under rare circumstances where players who didn’t provide the most healing in a match were mistakenly awarded the Gifted Healer badge.
Heroes
- Jeff’s Missing Meal: We’ve wiped out a glitch where, in controller mode, when Jeff the Land Shark swallowed 6 enemies with his Ultimate Ability, only 5 avatar icons showed up on screen. Now, our fin-tastic friend will see his 6-piece meal every time!
- Banner’s Space Out: We’ve smashed a bug that left all three forms of Bruce Banner unable to bind the jump action to the Spacebar. Now, Banner can leap into action as intended.
Other
- We’ve remedied an oversight, where in anonymous mode, using voice chat still revealed your original name.
