What is RIVALS?

RIVALS is a competitive first-person shooter on Roblox developed by Nosniy Games, built around quick 1v1 to 5v5 duels. The first side to reach five wins takes the match, making aim, movement, positioning and weapon choice immediately important.

  2. 2

    Keep the free Assault Rifle while learning aiming, cover, movement, weapon swapping, and the basic map flow.

  3. 3

    Complete Beginner Tasks, Daily Tasks, and normal matches to earn Keys instead of immediately spending Robux.

  • Low-Cost All-Rounder

    Assault Rifle + Uzi + Scythe + Smoke Grenade

  • Close-Map Pressure

    Shotgun + Uzi + Scythe + Freeze Ray

RIVALS Ranked Guide

Understand how RIVALS Ranked differs from casual duels, including eligibility, placement matches, ELO progression, and the competitive rank ladder. Ranked is aimed at experienced players and supports smaller competitive team formats rather than the full casual 5v5 range.

  • Unlock

    Reach Level 100 and satisfy the required Roblox account verification conditions before entering Ranked.

  • Placements

    Complete 10 placement matches before receiving your initial ranked position.

  • Queues

    Ranked competition supports 1v1, 2v2, and 3v3 formats.

  • Ladder

    Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, Onyx, Nemesis, and Archnemesis form the competitive rank progression.

  • Archnemesis

    Archnemesis is reserved for the top 200 players worldwide.

RIVALS Best Settings

Tune RIVALS sensitivity, FOV, crosshair, graphics, audio, and control settings for clearer competitive play. Settings are device-dependent, so PC, controller, and mobile players should use tested starting ranges rather than blindly copying one universal preset.

  • FOV

    Start around 97 FOV and test roughly 90 to 105 before deciding whether you prefer larger targets or wider peripheral vision.

  • Visibility

    Camera Shake Off, Hide Muzzle Flashes On, Damage Numbers On, and a stable graphics quality can improve visual clarity.

  • Crosshair

    Use a small static dot or simple cross with a clearly visible color and a thin outline.

  • Audio

    Keep sound effects high enough to hear shots, footsteps, and reload cues while lowering music if it masks combat audio.

  • Profiles

    RIVALS supports multiple settings profiles and allows exported settings strings to be imported into a selected profile.

RIVALS Game Modes

Explore the main RIVALS duel and Arcade formats and understand how team size changes positioning, weapon choices, and match pacing. The core game supports duels from 1v1 through 5v5, while Arcade adds faster respawn and weapon-rotation modes.

  • Duels

    Standard RIVALS competition supports 1v1, 2v2, 3v3, 4v4, and 5v5 matches, with the first side to five wins taking the duel.

  • Team Deathmatch

    Two teams fight for eliminations with respawns, creating longer continuous firefights than standard round-based duels.

  • Free For All

    Every player fights independently, making target switching, positioning, and surviving third-party attacks especially important.

  • Gun Game

    Players progress through different weapons as they score eliminations, forcing them to adapt instead of relying on one normal loadout.
