Downloadable game replays will immensely help players to analyze their gameplay and improve. Although game replays can be downloaded/recorded with the help of third-party applications, it would be great if Riot Games introduces an in-game feature for the same. Riot Games added a feature to League of Legends last season where players could download or watch replays of all the matches in the active patch. A similar feature will improve the overall quality of the game and will help Valorant Beginner Guide enthusiasts to get bet

Valorant doesn’t have a leaderboard where players can see how far they are from the next rank. Even the Matchmaking Ratings (MMR) is hidden, and there isn’t a way to check it. A leaderboard will not only motivate players to improve, but it also acts as a reality check for players and where they stand. It will also help players to calibrate their strengths and weaknesses. Either a leaderboard, or a system where players can see their MMR, will significantly make the ranked mode be

If you are not a big fan of lining up your every shot perfectly, and would much rather expose your enemies to a wave of bullets flying their way, then Ares might be the gun for you. Ares doesn't deal a lot of damage per shot, however, its high rate of fire more than makes up for it if you catch your enemy off guard, especially in a tighter area or up close. It's also not extremely expensive, meaning you can get it relatively early without spending too m

Whenever used, Portal's gate makes a loud sound that is easily audible in the surrounding areas. The loud noise will usually alert the opposing team, and in most cases, they will be ready to ambush you near the exit gate. Players using a portal in Bind should always be on their toes and should always be prepared to face a hoard of enemies after exiting through the por

If you ever wondered which gun in Valorant is the definition of "one-hit-kill", then the only answer you will ever get is Operator. It is a sniper rifle that is considered to be the "AWP" of Valorant , and rightly so. With ridiculously high damage and cover penetration, this sniper is an absolute monster in the hands of a skilled player. Since the Operator is a sniper rifle, it has the drawback of having a slow rate of fire and small magazines. Due to its raw power it is also one of the most expensive guns in the g

A standard A site push comprises 3-4 players split between two paths to A site, commonly called Showers and A short. While most players peek A short instantly, the optimal play is to draw out the enemies’ defensive utilities early on. This allows for an easier push later in the round as well as allow players to save their abilities for when they can be used b

The Vandal is the favorite weapon of a lot of Valorant players for various reasons. Although the huge pricetag might drive away some, it more than makes up for it with good accuracy, good rate of fire, and damage that doesn't degrade depending on the distance of your target. This means that player accuracy is rewarded, as headshots with this gun are guaranteed kills, regardless of how far the enemy is or if they're wearing ar

Bind is the only map in Valorant that currently has portals in it. It essentially allows players to travel from one location to another in just a few seconds. This completely changes the dynamics of the map, and majorly affects how the game is played. One thing to keep in mind while using the portals is that once used, it can't be reused by the same player in the same round. After using a Portal, players will find them in a small room with only one exit(can only be unlocked from inside). Before committing to teleport, players should always reaffirm the decision as it will only be a one-way r

VALORANT 's interesting cast of agents, well-designed maps, and satisfying weaponry provides more than anyone could expect from a free-to-play shooter. It has its flaws, but for those looking to get into a fresh team-based shooter – VALORANT checks a lot of the right bo

Not all the Agents are competitively viable on Bind, and overall the map is very unpredictable. Although the best way to master the map is to play as many games as possible on it, here are ten tips that will help players to get better and understand the map be

Player footsteps are very clear and audible in Valorant . To minimize the footstep noise, players can Shift walk or Crouch walk. It’s much better to Shift Walk/Crouch walk and not give out your position instead of barging in and dying immediately. It’s not necessary to use either of the techniques all the time, but near tight corners or checkpoints, it’s highly recommended to do so. Both Shift Walking and Crouch walking are relatively easy techniques to pick up and le

A very common and much-needed feature that is missing in Valorant is being able to accept or decline matches. Once a player queues up for a game and a match is found, players have to play the game regardless of if they want to or not. Especially now that ranked mode is live, it’s pretty much necessary. Almost every multi-player game including Riot Games’ own League of Legends has this feature and Valorant definitely needs
