What is a Hitscan?
A Hitscan means that your shots register instantly and has no travel time. Whenever you point your crosshair at a target and click fire, boom, the damage is instant. It's different from Projectile or AOE (Area of Effect) where a character fires off a solid object so the game needs to make other calculations such as trajectory and travel time before applying damage.
Hitscan Heroes Ranked
Marvel Rivals features several Hitscan heroes across different classes. Here's the ranking of all heroes with Hitscan primary attacks:
#7 Black Widow
Black Widow is the most disappointing Hitscan hero in this list. Her secondary is a Hitscan, charge-up, sniper rifle that can't one-shot enemies, and her mobility kit isn't fast enough to get her out of trouble.
