Recursive Destruction Unleashed in Marvel Rivals: Triggering the Apocalypse in Midtown

Marvel Rivals Season 1: Mastering Recursive Destruction in Empire of Eternal Night: Midtown

Season 1 of Marvel Rivals introduces new characters, maps, and modes, along with a fresh set of challenges rewarding players with free items, including a Thor skin. This guide focuses on triggering Recursive Destruction in the Empire of Eternal Night: Midtown map.

Understanding Recursive Destruction

The initial challenge in the "Blood Moon Over the Big Apple" section requires triggering Recursive Destruction. This occurs when destroying a Dracula-influenced object, causing it to reappear in its original state. However, not all destructible objects will trigger this effect.

Identifying Destructible Objects

To pinpoint the correct objects, utilize Chrono Vision. Accessible via the "B" button (keyboard) or the right D-pad button (console), Chrono Vision highlights destructible objects in red. Only these red-highlighted objects will trigger Recursive Destruction.

Completing the Challenge in Midtown

This challenge specifically requires playing the Quick Match (Midtown) mode. At the game's outset, no red-highlighted objects will be immediately visible. You must wait for the first checkpoint. After reaching the first checkpoint, two buildings will appear, highlighted in red, which are capable of triggering Recursive Destruction.

Strategy and Repetition

While engaging in combat, prioritize destroying these buildings. The reappearance of the buildings might be missed in the heat of battle, but multiple hits on each should complete the challenge. If unsuccessful, simply replay the match.

Beyond Recursive Destruction

Once Recursive Destruction is completed, focus on subsequent challenges, which involve using the new characters, Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman.

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