The limited-time Mirror Matchups mode has returned to Roblox Rivals, active from August 8-15, 2025. This competitive event forces players to adapt as all participants use identical randomized weapons each round. Below, we break down its mechanics and strategies for success.
Exploring Mirror Matchups Gameplay
First introduced in Update 8, this mode removes loadout customization, creating parity through shared arsenals. Weapons reset every match segment, requiring versatility across Rivals’ armory. While initially map-locked, players can now select any arena.

Key Features
