What Is the Spray Button in Marvel Rivals?
The spray button in Marvel Rivals is T on PC and the left D-pad on PlayStation and Xbox controllers. Hold T (or the D-pad on PlayStation and Xbox) to open the wheel, point at a spray, and release while aiming at a wall or the floor. You can rebind the key in the settings.
What does the Marvel Rivals spray button do?
It’s T on PC: the key that opens the communication wheel in Marvel Rivals, the radial menu with your sprays and emotes. NetEase doesn’t publish a control sheet on its site, so the defaults below are the ones the game ships with and that Steam and console players report.
| Platform | Default spray button | How to pick a spray |
|---|---|---|
| PC (keyboard and mouse) | Hold T | Move the mouse toward the spray, release T |
| PlayStation 5 and 4 | Hold left D-pad | Right stick toward the spray, release |
| Xbox Series X|S | Hold left D-pad | Right stick toward the spray, release |
Sprays are purely cosmetic. A spray gives 0 stats and no buff (though tagging a Domination point right after taking it does feel good). One spray does count for an achievement: spraying the Celestial Codex on Klyntar: Symbiotic Surface unlocks “VENI VIDI V…?”.
How do you use a spray in Marvel Rivals?
- Aim your crosshair at a wall, the floor or another flat surface close to you.
- Hold the spray button to open the wheel.
- Move the mouse or right stick toward the spray you want.
- Release the button. The spray appears where you’re aiming.
The catch is the aiming part. Aim at the sky, release T, and nothing appears. Is the button broken? No, you just weren’t aiming at a close surface.
How to rebind the Marvel Rivals spray button
Open Settings, go to the keyboard and mouse controls (or controller settings on console), and look for the communication section, where the custom wheel binding lives. On PC it shows T by default. Pick a free key, confirm, done.
Why bother rebinding? On PC, T sits right next to R and G, and a stray T press during a 6v6 team fight opens a wheel you didn’t want. Moving the wheel to a side mouse button (Mouse 4 or 5) is a common fix, for what it’s worth.
Why won’t my spray show up?
Usually one of three things. Too far away, an empty wheel slot, or releasing too early.
Sprays you own still need to sit on the wheel before they appear there, so check your hero’s cosmetics in the Heroes menu first. If you’re still settling into the game, our account setup guide covers the basics, and the ranked guide explains what comes next. More short how-tos like this sit in our Marvel Rivals section. Short version: once the Marvel Rivals spray button works, the rest is taste.
