A Link – This is another spot that should be learnt by all players because of how powerful the information can be. Placing the Spycam on the panel over the roof pictured below provides information that is borderline game-breaking, and this might be changed soon as well.

Above A Screens #1 – We will mention this as one of the best places to place a camera, but we expect this to be patched out. Placing the Spycam here is not an exploit, but it provides such an abundance of information that it feels like a prime candidate for a nerf in the future. From here, Cypher can see spawn, screens, A Tower, A Main, and more. For now, this is a prime location to learn, but do not be surprised if in the future it is changed or removed due to simply being too effici
A Tower – This is a great spot to experiment with, but like Bind: A Short, should see a change in the future. Placing the Spycam outside of the window near the decorative, upwards pointing rocks provides a high viewpoint, but too much cover for opponents to quickly ident
The character that was added on the first day of the beta struck fear into many players, casual and competitive alike. Just watch any compilation of Valorant clips and at least one of them will be Raze getting a multi-kill with her ultim
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
The main objective when pushing A should be taking control of Heaven. This requires a lot of proper ability usage and good team coordination. Blocking vision of A Short will allow players to either aggressively push through Short or sneak behind A Site through Hea
Of all the Agents in VALORANT , Cypher has some of the best potential for high-level play thanks to the information that can be gleaned from the use the Spycam, Tripwire, and Cyber Cage. However, playing Cypher effectively requires a disproportionate mastery of map knowledge to succeed. Staying up to date on how maps change throughout the beta is key, but the reward is masterful plays with this Ag
Valorant is one of the most talked-about games recently, and it is still only in the beta. Streamers and professional players alike have been leaving other games to move to this rapidly growing game. Hundreds of thousands of people tuned in to Valorant Pro settings|https://valorantpedia.com/ streamers in hopes of getting a beta key drop. Twitch chats were getting blown up with people typing /drops to increase their chances (though it didn't actually work, of cour
C site ambush demands proper teamwork and communication. Due to the C site’s layout, it’s very hard to infiltrate and plant the Spike. It’s also important to check before each round that the enemy team doesn’t have any Agent using Operator as it makes the siege much more difficult. The only consistent way of getting kills towards the C side of the map is by holding Mid to Garage and taking skirmishes there. In general, C site attacking is about team coordination and proper execut
It’s better to understand the abilities of all the Agents before attempting the ranked mode. Even though players may main a small pool of Agent, it's still important to learn every Agent in the game. Resorting to only shooting skills in Valorant won’t always net you the victory, and it’s very crucial to use abilities and utilities in tandem to get better results. It may work in the lower elo, but as you move up the ladder, using abilities becomes a necess
Another quirk that a lot of new players develop while playing Valorant is shooting while moving. Players coming from Overwatch might fall for running and gunning, and while it can work in Valorant, it doesn’t most of the t
Although Valorant holds a wealth of potential, it's obvious that it is still a very young live-service game. The 1.0 version only has four maps available at launch, and while each one is fun to play and learn, there's a high chance of getting the same map twice or more in a row. Strangely, there's also no ranked mode at the time of this writing. In fact, the only modes playable in the game right now are standard unranked and Spike Rush. Spike Rush is a shorter 4-round mode where everyone has a randomly selected gun and all attackers have their own bomb. This provides a decent way to familiarize oneself with Valorant 's mechanics and weapons, but also exposes its lack of a substantial tutorial for anyone who hasn't already played Counter-Strike ,

These are present near A Long and C Long side of the map. The Ultimate Orb near the C Long site is more easily accessible by the attacking team, while the one near A Long is more easily accessible by the defending team. Players should always try to secure these Orbs as they can turn the tide of any game by recharging the Ultimate fas
