Marvel Rivals KO and Kill Streaks Explained

Image Credit: Marvel Rivals

Not sure how KO streaks or kill streaks work in Marvel Rivals? You’re not alone. The game doesn’t explain it well, and it’s easy to think you're doing it right when the challenge tracker says otherwise. Let’s break it down in plain, simple words.

What Is a KO Streak?

  • A KO streak means you get multiple kills without dying.
    Example: You get 1 kill, stay alive, get another, then another… you’re on a KO streak.

  • These kills don’t need to be fast. You can take your time—just don’t die.

What Is a Kill Streak (Like Double KO)?

  • A kill streak is about getting kills quickly.

    • Example: You kill 1 player, then kill another within about 10 seconds = Double KO.

  • You need to kill people fast, one after another, for it to count.

Confused by Challenges?

  • If a challenge says “Get 6 two-player KO streaks,” you need six fast Double KOs, not one big streak with 6 kills.

  • A 5-kill streak won’t count as two 2-kill streaks. It only counts as one streak.

  • Some challenges may only count on certain maps or with certain heroes. Check the details.

Quick Tips

  • Use heroes who can kill fast, like Rocket or Scarlet Witch.

  • Try to focus on low-health enemies to get easy double kills.

  • Remember: for kill streaks, you have about 10 seconds between kills before the streak ends.

Final Blurb

  • KO streaks = Don’t die, keep getting kills slowly.

  • Kill streaks = Kill fast, within 10 seconds of the last kill.

It’s simple once you know. Now go out there, get those streaks, and stop wondering why your 5-kill streak didn’t count. The game’s weird like that.
