What is RIVALS?
Official copy positions it as one of the most intense FPS experiences on Roblox—short duel formats, weapon mastery, and constant ranked/casual queues. Update 24 (“Happy Rivalsween”) adds the limited Spooky Event with Candy currency, Event Tasks, Gargoyle Tower and returning Zombie Tower challenges, prize wheels, and seasonal cosmetics. Community write-ups note RIVALS also won Best Shooter at the Roblox Innovation Awards 2026 for a second year.
How to play / core loop
- Join from the official page, finish any onboarding, and pick Casual or ranked duel queues.
- Fight 1v1–5v5 matches; first to five round wins closes the set.
- Learn a small weapon pool thoroughly—movement and peek timing matter as much as aim.
- During Rivalsween, clear Daily Tasks first so Event Tasks unlock for Candy and a free Spooky Prize Wheel spin.
- Spend Candy before the event ends (guides cite Nov 7, 2026 05:00 UTC)—unspent Candy does not carry over.
Platforms
Play on Roblox via desktop, mobile, and other Roblox-supported devices where the experience is available.
Beginner tips
- Warm up in short queues: Duels are brisk; treat early matches as aim and movement practice.
- Master one primary + one backup: Switching guns mid-fight without muscle memory costs rounds.
- Use cover and pre-aim angles: Peeking wide into multiple enemies is how most new players die.
- During Rivalsween, hit Candy Rush daily: Guides say the first ~200 Candy each day earn at 5x—short daily sessions beat weekend cramming.
- Clear towers with a squad first: Gargoyle/Zombie Tower layouts are easier to learn with teammates before solo Towerstone skin attempts.
- Mute tilt, track habits: After losses, note whether you lost to aim, utility, or bad peek timing.
- Check patch notes after big updates: Update 24 listed multiple weapon balance changes that shift the meta.
