Marvel Rivals Bussing Guide: How to Catch It

The Dark Side of Multiplayer Gaming

Even phenomenal games like Marvel Rivals aren't immune to shady player behavior. NetEase Games gives players tools to flag suspicious activity, but a newly added reporting option called "Bussing" has left many scratching their heads. Let's break down what this deceptive practice entails and how to identify it.

Understanding "Bussing" in Marvel Rivals

The reporting menu in Marvel Rivals includes familiar options like intentional losing ("Throwing") and sabotage ("Griefing"). The recent addition of "Bussing" isn't about noisy eaters disrupting voice chat – it's far more problematic. This term describes players who knowingly team up with cheaters to artificially boost their rankings.

The developers clarified this after Reddit user Kaimega13 shared an official response (via Dexerto): "'Bussing' describes players deliberately aligning with cheaters to manipulate competitive rankings. Report any suspicious instances using this category." While helpful, players need to understand what constitutes valid Bussing reports.

Spotting Suspicious Behavior

Cheating teams in Marvel Rivals often betray themselves through unnatural gameplay. Observe killcams carefully – laser-accurate shots or robotic movement patterns often expose illicit advantages. However, not every teammate may be complicit.

Identifying Bussing requires careful observation. Stay through matches to analyze enemy team dynamics. Some players might unknowingly benefit from cheaters, while others actively facilitate exploitation. Gather evidence through gameplay analysis and chat interactions before reporting.
