VALORANT has a variety of maps, each with its own unique layout and playstyle. Here is a guide to all of the currently available maps, along with some handy tips and tricks.
A Complete Guide to All VALORANT Maps
As of the most recent updates, there are 10 maps in VALORANT:
Sunset
Set in sunny Los Angeles, Sunset offers two unique sites, multiple lanes, and a door connecting B Marker and Courtyard. It combines advanced strategy with VALORANT’s simplicity.
Pearl
Offering a simpler design with two sites and three corridors, Pearl is a map where agents like Astra and Killjoy can shine due to their control and utility.
Fracture
A US-made map, Fracture, introduces unique elements, such as neutral areas, ziplines, and automatic doors. Staying cautious is key on this map due to its unpredictable nature.
Haven
This map is characterized by its size, featuring three sites (A, B, and C) and a maze of alleys and corners. Ultimate orbs are found only in the A and C areas, making them hotspots for engagements.
Bind
Bind is a map with only two sites and no middle. However, it features a one-way teleporter that can be used strategically for flanking, but be cautious as it generates an audible cue when activated.
Icebox
Despite its size, Icebox is a complex map with two planting sites, high ground positions, ziplines, and ample cover. Game knowledge and adaptability are essential here.
Breeze
Located in the Bermuda Triangle, Breeze offers two sites but a vast middle area. It challenges players with tools like ropes and wide-open spaces, making long-range weapons like the Marshall ideal.
Lotus
Lotus is a dynamic map with three sites, various orb spawn locations, ropes, rotating doorways, and even a destructible wall. It encourages creativity and diverse strategies.
Split
Ascenders connect different areas of Split, emphasizing the importance of controlling the high ground. Agents like Raze, Omen, and Killjoy can help secure this map’s vertical elements.
It’s important to note that not all maps are featured in the competitive pool. You don’t need to master every map before playing ranked games. The map rotation may change with each VALORANT season, so stay updated on the maps available in competitive play.
By familiarizing yourself with all VALORANT maps and honing your skills on each one, you’ll be better equipped to tackle any challenge the game throws your way. Whether you prefer open spaces or tight corridors, there’s a map that suits your playstyle in VALORANT.
