You’ll go in with your team and fight in well-crafted maps in two rounds consisting of the gameplay loop of planting a bomb to destroy two objective points and preventing the other team from doing so. The game has robust leaderboards and ranking systems. Rise through the ranks with your team, start getting wins, and put your name on top of the leaderboard.In Valorant, you’ll be able to take control of one of its agents per game, ranging from Sova the Russian Scout, Viper the chemist, and Breach.
