Here's a detailed explanation of all the game modes in Marvel Rivals .

Game Modes in Marvel Rivals

While there are multiple game modes, including practice or custom, there are only three core game modes available for quick and competitive matches. Here are all the core game modes you can find in Marvel Rivals :

Domination - Domination

Domination mode is one of the most popular game modes. However, unlike other games, you have to win 2 out of 3 games to win.

Domination in Marvel Rivals takes place on a mirrored map. When the round begins, teams must capture a point in the center of the map. When both teams are in the area, the capture progress stops until one team is eliminated or moves out.

When a team captures a point, the score will increase by 1% every 1.2 seconds. This will continue until the score bar reaches 100%. If the enemy team contests the area while a team is winning, the game will go into Overtime. Until a contesting team leaves, the Overtime bar will continue to run.

Convoy

The Convoy game mode in Marvel Rivals is the classic Payload from Team Fortress 2 and Escort from Overwatch 2. Like those game modes, here you have one team attacking and the other defending. The defending team will have a timer that they can use to set up their defense. The defending team can also run to the attacking team's spawn point before the round starts.

After 30 seconds, the match begins when the attacking team is released to capture a vehicle for escort purposes. The defending team can linger around the Convoy to recapture it and roll it back. If the attacking team has captured the vehicle and there are players around, the Convoy will roll forward. The speed will increase depending on the number of attackers.

Remember that Convoy will stop if there are no attackers around. Also, there are two checkpoints on the map that you need to pass by vehicle. Once the vehicle passes those checkpoints, it will no longer roll back past that point.

Convergence

In this game mode, the playing area is divided into three zones. The attacking team will have to advance with the Convoy to score points. Each zone will be protected when you reach 33%, 66%, and 100% respectively.

Once you've secured a position, as the attacking team, you can leave at any time and Convoy won't move behind. If you've played Hybrid in Overwatch 2, this is a familiar version of Marvel Rivals.

Conquest

Conquest mode is a separate game available through a separate playlist. It is not part of the quick match or competitive modes. Conquest in Marvel Rivals is a standard team deathmatch mode. Unlike Valorant TDM, you do not earn points through kills here. Instead of kill points, dead enemies drop coins that you can collect to redeem points.

Each coin becomes more valuable throughout the match. When your team reaches 50 points, you win. You can also win the game by scoring more points than your enemy before time runs out. This is the perfect mode to test out your favorite Marvel Rivals characters.
