This happens after you’ve played five games although you will need to win ten unranked games before you can play competitive games.

The attacking team must take their Spike to one of the designated spots and protect it for 45 seconds. Unranked: You play the best of 25 matches in this game mode.There are five different game modes, so everyone is sure to find their favourite way to play. There are a total of four game maps to play across in the various game modes. If you are killed you will automatically respawn elsewhere on the map. Kills you make generate green first aid boxes which boost health, armour and ammo. These agents fall into four different categories: duellist, sentinel, initiator and controller, each of which has different benefits and abilities in the game. The sixteen are: Astra, Breach, Brimstone, Cipher, Jett, KAY/O, Killjoy, Omen, Phoenix, Raze. There are 16 agents altogether, and you must put together the best five from the full list to assure your victory. Spikes are bomb-like devices which must be planted and activated in order to succeed in your mission. Pro-tip: Orbs are found objects that give you ULT points, which boost your agent’s Ultimate ability bar.


All these actions all earn currency which can be spent on extra weapons and abilities. Agents all have unique skills which must be charged up before use, through kills, deaths, orbs or spike actions. The teams are comprised of five agents on each side, and must either attack or defend according to the AI’s whim. It is set in the near future in an alternative universe, with players taking the part of agents (this is what heroes are called in this game), choosing from characters taken from all sorts of cultures and countries all over the world. Valorant is a first-person hero shooter game.
