VALUING MAPS

 

There are currently three active maps in the VALORANT map rotation:

Valorant Maps: Haven, Bind and Split. These map overviews will help you learn the maps, including the different bomb sites, calls, and angles.

As with any competitive FPS game, knowing the maps is one of the most important things you can do to gain an advantage. Knowing the map creates more sense of the game and greater confidence, making you a better player overall.

The Riot Games creative team chooses map names for a reason. For example, Bind is "linked" by two teleporters. Split has an obvious aesthetic shift from one side of the map to the other, and Haven is an isolated temple area.

Haven Map Overview

Haven is unique in that it has three bomb sites instead of two. The defenders in Haven will have to cover a lot more ground and extend their squad to ensure each bomb site is defended.

Hay más espacio para retroceder en este mapa, lo que permite algunas jugadas defensivas agresivas. El mapa todavía juega como un mapa FPS competitivo tradicional, pero el tercer sitio de la bomba ayuda a hacer las cosas interesantes.

Link Map Summary

Bind has two bomb sites, but there is no intermediate area that competitive FPS players are used to seeing. There are direct paths to both bomb sites, and an interesting new mechanic: teleporters. These will transport you from one pump site to the other fairly quickly. The downside to this is that they make loud noises every time you use them, making you an easy target.

Due to the teleportation this map offers, it looks like it will be action packed and fast paced. This is the second map to be confirmed for VALORANT in the post-Haven moment. Take a look at our detailed guide to Bind's Valorant Maps including labels, game angles and more.

Overview of divided Valorant Maps

The divided Valorant map is made up of two bomb sites located on opposite sides of the map. There are four main choke points on this map, including two leading to Site A, one leading directly to Site B, and one in the central area.

Description of the shooting range

The shooting range is where you can practice shooting guns in an open field. You can also practice planting and deactivating spikes so you know how to do it in a real game. These are the activities in shooting range practice mode:

Open Range - Freely explore the entire range and all it has to offer.
Shooting Test - Put your weapon skills to the test with a variety of shooting challenges. Spike
Planting - Take control of the site, plant the spike and defend it until detonation
Spike Defuse - Methodically defeat enemies and deactivate the spike before time runs out.

To access the shooting range, click on "PRACTICE" at the top right of the screen. From here you can select between the four different practice modes.

If you click on "Shooting Test" you can practice against targets and see how high a score you can get. You can also choose to enable Bot Armor and Infinite Ammo by pressing the F3 key. Freely toggle between any character by pressing the F2 key to switch.
