So, despite the challenges we are facing in the US and across the globe right now, we want you to have the chance to come together and create positive memories in the midst of all that is weighing on us.

Competitive matches are the same as unranked matches with the addition of a win-based ranking system that assigns a rank to each player after 5 games are played. Players are required to reach level 20 before playing this mode.[17][better source needed] In July 2020, Riot introduced a "win by two" condition for competitive matches, where instead of playing a single sudden death round at 12-12, teams will alternate playing rounds on attack and defense in overtime until a team claims victory by securing a two-match lead. Each overtime round gives players the same amount of money to purchase guns and abilities, as well as approximately half of their ultimate ability charge.

We’re excited to welcome you into our community, can’t wait to see all your creative clips, and are so ready to put Valorant in your hands. 

something is another player who burst onto the scene in recent times, and the popular Russian player likes to use the dot crosshair. As we’ve said before: this is a great crosshair to consider if you’re into tap firing and/or your playing style is heavily based on precision, but due to the very small size, a dot crosshair can get ‘lost’ in the heat of battle, making it a little less ideal for players who rely on spraying.

However, many leakers in the community expect Valorant Mobile’s beta to go live globally by the end of 2023 or early 2024. If this does happen, then the full game can launch a few weeks after the beta period comes to an end.

If you have a VALORANT account that’s received a permaban or your Riot account has been banned, you will not be eligible to play VALORANT on Console. 

Just like in other competitive shooters worthy of the name, VALORANT allows you to adjust your crosshair in a ton of ways. When the game first came out, players had to import crosshairs that they wanted to try the old fashioned way: by copying all of the settings themselves.

“We are definitely prototyping that right now,” she said. “But there’s a way to play this game and there’s a way to experience this game that we’re not entirely sure translates completely to console play.”

(spoiler alert: there are loads of free tools on-line you can use to grab the HEX code from any image or website – ColorZilla is an especially useful one!)

A lot of VALORANT players like to use a dot as their crosshair, but this is not something that’s going to work for everyone. Using a dot can lead to improved precision (since you have to position the dot perfectly on the spot where you want to aim, whereas a traditional crosshair with a gap in it has more leeway) but it can make spraying more difficult since it’s harder to subconsciously track when you’re in the heat of battle.

Valorant is a tactical shooter where knowing the enemy’s location is paramount to winning a round. It’s why Cypher’s intel gathering abilities are so powerful and why the newest agent, Shatter, has an ability that misdirects opponents with fake footsteps.

having strategic, round-based gameplay, Rainbow Six Siege is probably the closest thing you’ll get to Valorant’s thrills. While stylistically it’s very different, Siege is great for hardcore shooter fans.

Initiators plan out the offensive pushes. Initiators specialize in breaking through defensive enemy positions. Initiators' abilities can consist of flashes but also abilities that can reveal the location of enemies.
