Summary

  • A game-breaking teleport bug in Marvel Rivals trapped a player in spawn until using their Ultimate.
  • Many fans empathized with the frustrated player as they struggled with the glitch during a competitive match.
  • NetEase is working to address bugs in Marvel Rivals, helping to maintain a fun and fair environment for players.

A Marvel Rivals player discovered an annoying bug that caused them to keep teleporting back to base. Released last December, Marvel Rivals is already one of the most popular PvP hero shooters, as it brings together many of Marvel's most powerful heroes and villains.

Marvel Rivals is currently in its second season, debuting Emma Frost, the new Hellfire Gala: Krakoa map, and the upcoming Hellfire Gala skin line, among many new features. While players are grinding the game to reach their desired ranks and completing their battle passes in Season 2, NetEase is also hard at work to address any issues that might affect the overall experience.

But sometimes, Marvel Rivals fans still experience some bugs and glitches in-game, like a game-breaking teleport bug. A player named Hyrax_Hub shared a one-minute clip on Reddit to show that they couldn't leave spawn when they joined their first competitive game in the current patch. The clip showed that they kept teleporting back to spawn as Rocket and Adam Warlock. While the player couldn't figure out how to resolve the bug at first, they found that using their character's Ultimate stopped the loop.

Marvel Rivals Fans React to Teleport Loop Bug

In the comments, many Marvel Rivals fans empathized with the player because of the hassle that the bug caused during their match. They also found the situation funny because of how "desperate" Rocket and Adam looked in the video as they tried to get out of spawn. One also joked that the player was on "forced healer strike," which references Marvel Rivals players' "support strike" due to the negative comments towards people playing the Strategist role in matches.

As of writing, it's unknown if Marvel Rivals managed to fix the game-breaking teleport loop bug. Although not many players under Hyrax_Hub's post experienced this specific bug, they're still hopeful that the game finds a fix because it might affect matches in the future. Fortunately, Marvel Rivals regularly releases patch updates, with the most recent being on April 30, so there's a chance that this bug will be resolved in the next one.

Meanwhile, many Marvel Rivals fans are looking forward to mid-Season 2 content, which will include the debut of Ultron as a playable character. The next big update will also include minor adjustments to Groot and Captain America, and balance changes and adjustments to ensure that matches are fun and fair for everyone.
