Marvel Rivals Season 1: Unleashing Recursive Destruction in Midtown

Season 1 of Marvel Rivals explodes onto the scene with new characters, maps, and game modes, plus a fresh set of challenges unlocking free rewards, including a Thor skin. This guide focuses on unlocking Recursive Destruction in the Empire of Eternal Night: Midtown map.

Understanding Recursive Destruction

The initial challenge in the "Blood Moon Over the Big Apple" series requires triggering Recursive Destruction. This involves destroying Dracula-influenced objects that then reappear in their original state. Don't just start blasting everything; focus on specific targets.

Locating Destructible Objects

To identify these objects, use Chrono Vision (activated via the "B" key on PC and the right D-pad button on consoles). Only objects highlighted in red will trigger Recursive Destruction.

Completing the Challenge in Midtown

This challenge is specific to the Quick Match (Midtown) mode. After the match begins, focus on the initial team objective (defending or attacking the Fantasticar). Initially, no red-highlighted objects will be present. You must wait until the first checkpoint; two buildings will then appear, ready for Recursive Destruction.

Amidst the combat, target these buildings. You might not immediately see them reappear due to the fast-paced action, but repeated strikes should complete the challenge. If unsuccessful, simply replay the match. After completing this, move on to the subsequent challenges featuring Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman.

That's how to trigger Recursive Destruction in Empire of Eternal Night: Midtown in Marvel Rivals.

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