The roar of the crowd was deafening. Sweat dripped as my heart hammered against my ribs. Victory—or humiliating defeat—hung in the balance; my thumbs hovering over the controls, ready to decide my fate in the Clobberin’ Club arena.
Marvel Rivals continues to evolve its Times Square map, adding intriguing layers. From celebratory New Year’s Eve moments to an Ant-Man-themed eatery, the hub has been dynamic. The latest addition? An underground Disco Club, and, more importantly, a dedicated space for 1v1 combat. This is where the Clobberin’ Club comes in—a venue that lets you test your mettle against other players.
Inspired by The Thing’s iconic catchphrase, the Clobberin’ Club might seem tricky to locate initially, but it’s quite straightforward once you get your bearings. I’m here to walk you through everything you need to know about the Marvel Rivals Clobberin’ Club, including the steps to start duels with other players.
Finding Your Way to the Clobberin’ Club
Ever get that feeling when you’re trying to find a new bar in an unfamiliar city, relying only on vague directions from a friend? The Clobberin’ Club can feel similar at first. Here’s how to find it:
The Clobberin’ Club shares its underground space with the Disco Ballroom. Here’s the breakdown:
- Head towards the Disco entrance and descend the stairs on either side.
- Just inside, spot the door to your left; the Clobberin’ Club poster marks the spot.
- Step inside, and you’re in a bustling arena filled with spectators and two Rivals locked in combat.
Throwing Down: Initiating a 1V1 Duel
Remember the schoolyard feeling of challenging someone to a game during recess? Initiating a duel in the Clobberin’ Club captures that same spirit, albeit with fewer scraped knees.
Can you spectate duels in Marvel Rivals?
Yes! When you first enter the Clobberin’ Club, you’ll notice a crowd of players watching the fight. The arena is designed so that even if you aren’t fighting, you can still be part of the action.
To start a 1V1 Duel, simply approach another player and use the Interact button. Select the ‘Duel’ option, choose between a Private or Public Duel, and hit ‘Initiate.’ If they accept, the duel begins almost instantly.
Don’t sweat your hero selection. Before each duel (and between rounds), you’re taken to the hero select screen. This means you’re never stuck with a character you didn’t want.
Tailoring the Fight: Adjusting Duel Rules
Ever play a board game where everyone houseruled the rules to their liking? The Clobberin’ Club lets you do something similar, letting you fine-tune your duels.
Once your challenge is accepted, you’ll find yourself on a platform with a console. Interact with it to tweak various rules, like the points needed to win or implementing a ban phase. You can even switch up the Duel Type—Classic, Random (heroes switch after each round), or Unique (selecting from a limited hero pool).
What are Units in Marvel Rivals?
Units are a form of in-game currency. Currently, they can be earned through gameplay, completing daily and weekly challenges.
After you’ve adjusted the settings to your liking, hit ‘Save Duel’ to kick things off.
Going Big: Broadcasting on Times Square
Imagine your duel playing out on the big screens of Times Square. It’s possible. For a price.
How much does it cost to broadcast a duel in Marvel Rivals?
Selecting the Public Duel option costs 100 Units. Think of it like buying a prime-time ad slot. It is an investment in bragging rights. As of today, 100 Units is the equivalent of roughly €1 (USD $1.10).
If you want your Clobberin’ Club fights broadcast to the world, select the Public Duel option when sending the challenge.
Also, the Clobberin’ Club is the only combat arena where you can use Photo Mode. So, if capturing stylish screenshots is your thing, this is the place to be.
And that’s the lowdown on the Marvel Rivals Clobberin’ Club. Given the chance, would you broadcast your duels for all to see, or keep your battles private?
