In Marvel Rivals, anything can happen: heroes swinging from rooftops, explosive battles, and most of the time, chaos. And speaking of chaos, imagine Venom, the tanky anti-hero, suddenly transforming into a heat-seeking missile. Sounds like something out of a comic book, right?
Well, thanks to a small glitch in the matrix, that’s exactly what happened. One player accidentally unlocked a game-changing glitch that made Venom dash at lightning speed across rooftops, completely flipping his original playstyle on its head.
The glitch that everyone’s hoping to recreate in Marvel Rivals
Venom, a powerful vanguard in Marvel Rivals, is known for his ability to swing across the map and tank some major hits. While he was popular in the early days, his pick rate has gone down a little due to players finding more powerful vanguards.
But that all changed when one player accidentally stumbled upon a bug that would give Venom an unfair advantage. The glitch in question came about when a player was swinging across rooftops.
Instead of dashing on the nearby rooftop, the hero somehow overshot his destination, sending him dashing far beyond the target area, at a blistering speed. This unexpected behavior was likely a result of a small bug that allowed the character to miss the edge of the rooftop.
After watching the clip, players have been working hard to recreate the moment on various rooftops (across different maps). While it has been mostly a failure, if this gets mastered Venom could be one of the best Vanguards (though Groot and Peni Parker are tough to replace).
Had a guy ask everyone to watch the history replay of his second rollout, was not disappointed

After the clip, players couldn’t stop talking about it. Some even started comparing Venom’s speed to Adam Warlock’s scene from Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. Of course, there’s a bit of irony here: Warlock, despite his flashy entrance in the movie, is a strategist and can’t even fly.
Will the trick make Venom an “S-Tier” vanguard?
While it’s clear that this newfound glitch has the potential to propel Venom into the upper echelons of competitive play, there are two big question players have to ask themselves.
First, what is the success rate of performing this glitch? From the looks of it, the probability is not high as it requires precise timing and positioning. Even the smallest mistake could cause the move to fail, meaning there’s a degree of randomness.
Secondly, how long will it take for developers to notice and address it? It is clear that this is not an intended purpose for his dash, but if for some reason it doesn’t get fixed (like how Squirrel Girl is still not nerfed) and players find a way to perform it consistently. It will certainly boost his pick rate.
In Marvel Rivals, every bug, glitch, and exploit can have huge implications for a character’s viability. Venom’s new trick has brought him into the spotlight, and whether it stays or gets fixed, it’s clear that the potential is there for him.
In the end, as the community continues to explore this discovery, one thing is certain: expect to see a surge in Venom players trying to recreate this unexpected trick.
