Another way to increase the usefulness of the Boom Bot is by using it, essentially, as another teammate. Send that Boom Bot around a corner you know an enemy is around, and come around the other corner yours
As the latest Sentinel added to Valorant guide , Vyse has an excessive focus on holding sites compared to any other Sentinel released so far. All the abilities of Vyse help her to execute a pre-planned strategy, making it difficult to use Vyse effectively in attacking rounds before planting the Sp
So far, Valorant Missions has introduced ten agents for players to try out, each of them with varying roles and unique abilities, including powerful ultimates they can charge up to lay devastation upon their enemies.

Just because a Boom Bot gets shot before it detonates on an enemy doesn't mean it was a waste. Sending a Boom Bot into an occupied hallway/room is, nine times out of ten, going to force an enemy to destroy it before it destroys them, and if you're paying attention, you'll be able to tell where the shots came from and where the enemy is before you en
Aside from having a good aim, playing effectively in Valorant also depends on the Agents and using their abilities. Although winning the gunfights might be the ultimate requirement eventually, but the abilities could help to put enemies at a disadvantage and win fights eas
Breach is a great agent to pick up due to his high damage output and insane utility. His ultimate Rolling Thunder is one of the best in the game, stunning enemies in a line which allows his team to go in and wreak ha
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

Sometimes, enemies are going to be mindful of the fact you've pulled out your Showstopper, and are going to get into some pretty decent cover, be it normal map cover or with one of Sage's walls.

Raze is one of the most versatile characters in Valorant. She can be fit into just about any play-style, provided you're in close enough range to throw your Paint Shells and make use of the Blast Packs. She can be a heart-stopping force of nature in the hands of an aggressive player, as she orchestrates controlled chaos better than any other character in the g

As VALORANT is still in beta, Riot Games is constantly working to ensure the game is working as intended by design, and this means patching out Spycam exploits on each map as they appear. As a result, each patch often brings map changes, some meant to help overall gameplay, but many with Cypher and his Spycam in mind. These and future patches should be observed closely to ensure the best Cypher play and counterplay. This guide will focus on patch 0.5, with the goal of thinking long-term about how best to use Cypher and his tool
