What Do Hitscan Characters Mean in Marvel Rivals?
Let me break down what “hitscan” actually means in simple terms. In video games, there are usually two types of attacks: ones that shoot projectiles that travel through the air (like arrows or rockets), and hitscan attacks that hit instantly. Hitscan is like using a laser pointer – the moment you click, you hit whatever you’re pointing at. There’s no bullet travel time to worry about.
This makes hitscan characters really good at certain things. You don’t have to predict where your enemy will be or lead your shots – if your crosshair is on them when you click, you’ll hit them.
It’s especially useful against fast-moving targets. However, these characters usually can’t shoot around corners or over walls, so positioning is really important.
The damage from hitscan characters tends to be steady and reliable rather than coming in big bursts. You’ll need decent aim to make the most of them, but you don’t have to learn complicated ability combinations. Just focus on your positioning and aim, and you’ll do well with any of these characters.
