Recursive Destruction in Marvel Rivals is only available on the Midtown map and is required to complete a mission in the Midnight Features seasonal event. If you’re confused about how to activate it, this guide will explain it in simple steps.

Steps to Trigger Recursive Destruction

Play on the Midtown Map
Recursive Destruction only works on Midtown, so make sure you’re queuing for games that feature this map. There’s a limited-time mode that exclusively uses Midtown, making it easier to complete the mission.
Use Chrono Vision to Find Red Terrain
- Activate Chrono Vision by pressing B on PC or the right d-pad on console.
- Normally, destructible objects are highlighted in yellow, but for Recursive Destruction, you need to look for objects and walls highlighted in red.
Damage Red Terrain
Once you spot the red-highlighted terrain using Chrono Vision, deal damage to it. When you’ve done enough damage, the objects will restore themselves, completing the Recursive Destruction effect.

Locations to Trigger Recursive Destruction

There are two key spots on the Midtown map where you can trigger Recursive Destruction:

Inside the station after the first checkpoint
Look for a large pile of rubble inside the station. Once you push the convoy past the first checkpoint, you can damage this rubble to activate Recursive Destruction.
Collapsed buildings after the second checkpoint
After pushing the convoy past the second checkpoint, find the collapsed buildings and damage them to trigger the effect.

Important Tips

Push the Convoy First: You can only damage the red-highlighted objects after reaching their respective checkpoints. If you try before the convoy reaches these points, nothing will happen.
Use Characters with AoE or High Damage: Since you need to destroy terrain, characters with area damage or high burst damage can speed up the process.

By following these steps, you’ll be able to trigger Recursive Destruction and complete the mission quickly. Happy gaming!
