The ability that drew the bulk of the ire Raze's way back before the nerf, Paint Shells, is a cluster bomb; it explodes in an initial radius, dealing damage to the unfortunate souls caught in the blast, but then scatters out four smaller explosions, all but ensuring the demise of the unlucky enough to have been in the center of the blast to begin w


Each player in Valorant is given a fixed amount of budget at the start of any match. This budget then updates each round depending on various factors such as kills and assists secured in the prior round. Although the idea of buying the most expensive weapons and utilities every round is tempting, it’s not possible. It’s important to identify when to save and when to go all out. New players often fall into this trap and buy any weapon without putting any thou


Confident players can take an aggressive peek through B Main and look for an early kill. Securing an early kill in B will allow your teammate to quickly capture the point as B Site is usually held by a single pla


It sucks when a team push goes awry, and one player is left over. A clutch probably won't happen, so it's just better to save the weapon for the next round. Unfortunately, Sova can throw out his sonar arrow and spot the solo player out to ensure the team w


Similarly, players can also look up the recharge duration of enemy Ultimates and prepare themselves beforehand. There are different ways to recharge Ultimates in Valorant which include, kills, assist, Spike plant/defuse, or by consuming the Black Orbs that are scattered around the


Currently in the closed beta, Valorant has ten different characters to choose from. All of these characters fit into one of four roles: Duelist, Sentinel, Initiator, and Controller. While each character plays drastically different, they still each accomplish the basic function(s) of their role. (Or should, in the right ha


All these Agents pack strong utilities and can operate individually anywhere on the map. Jett with her constant dashing is also a dark horse in Split, but her kit requires proper execution to be effect


While it's certainly not a one for one copy of CS:GO , there is a lot similarity between the two. It has several rounds, no respawning during rounds, attacking and defending a bomb site, the gun buy system, etc. There's no denying Valorant is just like CS


In most team-based shooters, it's very possible for an amazing player can carry a game. Valorant is no different. If a god gamer managed to sneak into a lower-rated game, they can easily carry the game and bring a team to an easy victo


Valorant is a free-to-play tactical-shooter and Riot Games’ take on the FPS genre. After a grand beta phase where millions of players tried the game, Valorant is now gearing up for its global release . A game with huge potential and high ceiling, fans have been swarming around Valorant since its release, trying to get inside the closed b


Even though defusing the Spike (bomb) is the principal objective for the team playing defense, it’s not always smart to do so. There will be cases when the Spike plant will be on the complete opposite side of where you are on the map, and instead of walking across the whole map in hopes of that miracle defuse, it’s better to accept defeat to move to next round. By running head-on to defuse the Spike, you are giving enemies an easy target to sh


Getting an Ultimate point from the orb can be very crucial as it reduces the Ultimate’s cooldown. Agents with smoke such as Brimstone, Jett, and Omen can usually easily take control of these Orb sp


If you watched any Valorant streamer on April 7th, the chat was full of thirsty gamers looking for a drop. People would be goading chat into spamming the chat with "/drops" after saying that was the way to get a beta key. It was a trick, but most weren't willing to take the cha

Even though the spray becomes a lot read more controllable while crouch walking or just walking, it’s still very inaccurate compared to shooting while standing still. It’s better to stop, aim, and shoot instead of recklessly spraying while moving. This will significantly improve the chances of landing all the bullets on the desired spot and eventually eliminating the enemy. Getting the headstart on enemies will often net you clutch kills and could be the deciding factor of the ro


This one is a feel bad for anyone who doesn't exactly have the best aim (myself including). It feels like you have your crosshair right on the opponent's head and somehow you miss. It doesn't feel like it should be possible. Hitting that shot should have been e
