Fracture is VALORANT’s newest map and offers a unique experience. It features an H-shaped layout where the defenders spawn in the center, which is a stark difference from other maps in rotation. Attackers can also push both sites from two directions by default, requiring defenders to always prepare for a push from two directions.  The new layout might mean your favorite agent isn’t the best choice on Fracture or you need to adjust your playstyle. The good news is most agents can at least hold their own on Fracture, although

The VALORANT Champions Tour North American Last Chance Qualifier has been postponed for at least 12 days and will take place online.  The Last Chance Qualifier was initially paused yesterday after two members of FaZe Clan tested positive for COVID. The entire FaZe roster was reportedly going to play from home, while their opponent Rise would’ve played from the stage. Both FaZe members, Andrej “babybay” Francisty and Corey Nigra, have since tested negative.  The remainder of the matches for the day were canceled, and the matches scheduled for today were also

A VALORANT player 3D printed a foldable Prime 2.0 Karambit, showing how cool the popular skin looks in real life.  VALORANT player Walid-Mafuj uploaded a short clip of the knife in action as they spun it around their finger and opened and closed the blade. A loose hinge allows the knife to open when swung, making it look like it has a spring-loaded mechanic. The 3D printed version also has the same aesthetic and colorway as the in-game version, allowing users to feel just as cool as their in-game character.

Omen players have seemingly leveled up recently after a trick to recover the spike using the Agent’s ultimate ability was showcased online earlier this year. In a clip shared to Reddit, one VALORANT player showed how this can be used perfectly by securing a clutch ace victory. When you’re the last man alive things can get a bit scary, but as this player showed, remaining calm and using all your Agent’s utility can make things easy. At the beginning of the clip, Omen takes out two enemies thanks to some

Any VALORANT fans who expected G2 Esports to breeze past the competition at the EMEA VCT Last Chance Qualifier and comfortably secure a spot at Champions got a reality check today. An unfavorable map selection for G2 was almost a disaster for the team, who clumsily drafted into Icebox and Breeze, their two least-played maps. Futbolist exploited this weakness and almost pulled off the upset. A decisive win on Icebox (13-7) for the Turkish underdog was followed by a closely fought tug-of-war on Breeze. After 42 rounds and over an

A block list could be on VALORANT’s horizon, according to one Riot Games developer recently. But implementing the feature isn’t as simple as one may think. Earlier this week VALORANT producer Sara Dadafshar said in a post on Reddit that a “safe version” of a block list could be implemented into the game in the future. Players have long requested ways to play in a safer and less toxic environment, but the block list feature is a “trickier” one to add.  The block list “isn’t completely off the table,” according

A VALORANT player found a useful spot to protect the Spike after planting on A site on Fracture. VALORANT player MoxBoneSaw uploaded a short clip showing how to throw Killjoy’s Nanoswarm grenade just outside of A site on Fracture. This spot allows players to place the Nanoswarm in an inaccessible spot that can still cover a portion of the A site. Attackers can plant in the corner of A site and use the Nanoswarm to prevent defenders from defusing.  Using the line-up is relatively simple. Players can use the stairs
