MAP UPDATES
ASCENT
- B orb can now be taken from the lower box (previously, you had to double jump up to the box to get it)
ICEBOX
This set of Icebox updates are focused around B Site and adjusting some of the problem spaces throughout the map. Stay tuned for an upcoming article where map designer Joey Simas dives deeper into these changes and what we hope to see from Icebox in the near future.
B GREEN
Changes to B “Green” lane are focused on improving attacker options and making the space more comfortable to play in.
- Doorway from Attacker spawn building near Green lane moved to the first cubby. This is to give attackers a new way to approach B Green instead of having to enter from two similar positions.
Green lane slightly widened. This is to make moving through this space more comfortable.
- Pocket in Green lane near Yellow extended. This is to make angles toward B Site and Snowman more clear and readable.
COMPETITIVE UPDATES
Introducing initial testing of a new “deterministic map system” in LATAM. The goal of this system is to increase the variety of maps that players will encounter. If there are no issues, we plan to activate this system (explained below) for all regions within the next few days/week. Although this is the LATAM region only, we are including it here as a heads up if we decide to expand. For VALORANT Live Updates follow InsideSport.IN
