NetEase Launches Targeted Ban Surge After Marvel Rivals Cheating Crackdown

NetEase says it has a zero-tolerance policy on cheats in Marvel Rivals and has named, shamed and banned nearly 500 players after a weekend update, partially sharing names, user IDs and ranks from Bronze to Celestial. The cheats were detected by Marvel Rivals’ automated penalty system, and penalties include permanent bans and potential device or IP bans. Players who believe they were unjustly penalised can appeal through official channels as NetEase aims to keep fair play in the Chronoverse.

Three Hidden Keys to Kingpin: Marvel Rivals Blood Hunt's Final Boss Guide

In Marvel Rivals Blood Hunt, Dracula is the headline boss, but three Hidden Objectives across different phases drop golden keys that unlock the real final boss, Kingpin, in Times Square after Dracula is defeated in phase 13. Complete Hidden Challenges: destroy the bridge barrier within 90 seconds (phase 4), destroy Bloodclot Buds (phase 7), and break the sealing magic circle within 120 seconds (phase 12) to earn the final key. Kingpin deploys two dangerous attacks—the cane trance with a follow-up beam and a shielded, explosive AoE after a leap—plus a boss charge, so stay mobile, use cover, and consistently deal damage to win. It’s advised to clear easier difficulties first, then attempt the Extreme difficulty challenge for the ultimate ending.
