What Bussing Is in Marvel Rivals & How To Catch It

by Zachary Mar 15,2025

Despite *Marvel Rivals*' generally positive reception, some players exploit the game's mechanics. NetEase Games provides a reporting system to combat this, recently adding a new reportable offense: "Bussing." This term, initially causing confusion, refers to players intentionally teaming up with cheaters to artificially inflate their stats and rankings.

When reporting players, options include "Throwing," "Griefing," and now, "Bussing." Unlike its colloquial meaning, "Bussing" in *Marvel Rivals* specifically denotes collusion with cheaters for stat boosting. This clarification was provided by *Marvel Rivals* developers in response to player inquiries, confirming its definition as intentional teaming with cheaters to manipulate game rankings.

How to Identify and Report Bussing in *Marvel Rivals*

Detecting cheaters isn't always easy, but observing suspicious gameplay patterns is key. Watch killcams; excessively accurate shots or unnatural movement often signal cheating. However, not all teammates of cheaters are necessarily guilty. To accurately identify Bussing, observe the enemy team's actions throughout the match. If some players seem legitimately skilled while others exhibit clear cheating, the latter are the primary targets for reporting. Those who appear unskilled might simply be unfortunate enough to be teamed with cheaters. Avoid hasty accusations; careful observation is crucial. Consider using in-game chat to gather more information before reporting.

In summary, "Bussing" in *Marvel Rivals* signifies teaming with cheaters to boost stats. Identifying it requires careful observation of gameplay, distinguishing between genuine skill and clear cheating. Report only those demonstrably involved in cheating, not those potentially unwitting teammates.

*Marvel Rivals* is available now on PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X|S.
