How to play Roblox Rivals

Rivals is one of the most intense and challenging first-person shooter titles on Roblox, offering players a chance to show off their skills and get into duels with others. These can be simple 1v1 or 5v5 duels where only your skills matter. The first player to reach five wins completes the match and secures victory. However, new players might find it challenging to grasp the mechanics of the game.

To play the game, you first need to boot it on Roblox. Once inside, you can either join a 1v1 duel or any of the other options present before you. To start the match, all you need to do is step on one of the pedals and wait for someone else to do the same.

Below, we have a more detailed guide on how to play the matches and other tips and tricks that will allow you to win more matches.

An Overview of Roblox Rivals

As mentioned earlier, the goal of Rivals is to duel against other players and be the first to secure five wins. This determines the winner of the match and showcases your skills. While the gameplay in itself is simple and only requires you to take a shot at the enemy, playing it might not be as easy as you anticipated.

The gameplay mechanics:

The gameplay mechanics are relatively straightforward to understand. You must first pick whether you want to face off against a single player or join a group battle. The game also has a variety of weapons to choose from, ranging from rifles and pistols to swords and grenades. The key point, however, is how accurately you can use them.

Before engaging someone in battle, you must know the different damage and range for each weapon. Keep in mind that the weapon can be slightly difficult to aim since it floats slightly and someone with no prior first-person shooter experience will initially struggle with it.

While the goal is to shoot down the enemy, you can use your WASD keys on the keyboard to navigate around and dodge enemy fire. You will also get powerups that are scattered around the map which will make things easier.
