Hey there! So, you're diving into Marvel Rivals and want to get a handle on the Resource Rumble game mode? Awesome! Think of me as your buddy walking you through it, no lectures, just helpful tips. First off, a heads-up: Resource Rumble was a game mode introduced in Season 3.5: The Abyss Awakens and was removed in Season 6.0: Night at the Museum. It might come back later, but for now, you can only play it in Custom Games. It was all about teams fighting to control areas and extract Resources, kind of like Domination, but with a twist. ## Overview In Resource Rumble, you and your team are going head-to-head with another team to capture and hold three specific areas on the map – let's call them A, B, and C. These areas get shuffled around at the start of each match. Your main goal is to grab and keep these active areas to extract enough Resources to win. The whole thing is split into two main parts: the Extraction Phase and the Rumble Phase. ## Gameplay So, how do you actually get those Resources? It's all about capturing and holding those areas. Here are the key things to remember: * Areas: There are three areas (A, B, C) on the map, but only one is active at any given time. Keep an eye on which one is up! * Capturing & Extracting: To start pulling Resources from an active area, you need at least one teammate inside it, and no enemies contesting. If the other team shows up, capture progress stops, and so does the Resource extraction until you clear them out. * Moving On: Once an area's Resources are all gone (that's 200 Resources!), it becomes inactive, and the next area lights up. You'll need to move your team to the new active spot to keep the Resource flow going. * Winning: The usual target is to extract 300 Resources. But, if you hit certain conditions, this goal can change to 200 Resources, which we'll get to. ## Phases Resource Rumble has two distinct phases, each with its own vibe and objectives. ### Extraction Phase This is where your match kicks off. In this phase, there are two Available Areas, and each one has 200 Resources to grab. Only one of these areas is active at a time. Your team needs to capture and hold it to extract those Resources. * Once the first area's 200 Resources are collected, the second Available Area becomes active. * This phase wraps up when one team hits the 300 Resource win condition, OR if both teams reach the Breakpoint (meaning they've each extracted 100 Resources) AND both Available Areas are completely drained. ### Rumble Phase This phase kicks in *after* both teams have hit the Breakpoint and both Available Areas are empty. It introduces a third area, called the Hijack Area, and things get a bit more intense: * Getting Ready: Once the second Available Area is depleted, there's a 30-second countdown. Use this time to get your team into position before the Hijack Area opens up. * New Goal: The win condition changes to 200 Resources. Plus, both teams' current Resource counts get reduced by 100. So, if you had 150, you're now at 50. * Stealing Resources: The team that captures and holds the Hijack Area (without the enemy contesting it) starts
