Valorant, a free-to-play first-person shooter game developed by Riot, the famous studio behind the League of Legends game, became a big sensation in the gaming industry just after its launch in June 2020.
Riot started the development work back in 2014, and it was first revealed under the name Project A in October 2019. The 5 vs. 5 game has various agents from different countries, and these agents have distinct abilities.
The agents are categorized into four parts – Duelists, Initiators, Sentinels, and Controllers. There are various in-game modes such as:
- Spike rush: These are short-duration matches where random guns are given to teams.
- Replication: In replication, all the team members play the same agent.
- Escalation: This is the arms race mode.
- Deathmatch: The first player to get 40 kills wins; it is used for practice before competitive games.
- Unranked: It is a full-length match mode, but the result does not affect the ranks of the players.
- Competitive: This is the ranked full-length match mode.
Valorant is often talked about how the game resembles anime because of the animated graphics and through the agents and their abilities such as Jett’s ultimate, blade-storm, and yoru’s teleport, etc.
The developers have been active in rolling out new updates, from new agents and maps to new skins bundles. These skins can be purchased from the game store using Valorant Points (VP), the in-game currency, or real money.
