Valorant is a game made in June 2, 2020 from Valorant. The concept is mixing elements from Overwatch , a hero shooter, and CSGO. Currently 3 million people are playing each day. The point of the game is 5 vs 5 shooter where in the beggining of a game you choose a character that has unique powers and abilities. To play the game you buy a gun depending on your money then, depending if you are defending or attacking you either kill the enemys and defuse the bomb or, kill the defenders and plant the bomb. First to 13 points wins but if both teams are at 12 you go into overtime where you have to win 2 times in a row to win.
When aiming you want to aim for the head and crouch. This is because Valorant has a unique system where when you are running and shooting your accuracy and recoil increase dramatically. This makes the game more slow pace and tests your reaction time. A crosshair is a big part of aiming as well. You want a crosshair that represents your style and doesn't hinder your game play.
The Valorant abilities are a big part of the game and what sets it apart from CSGO. Usage of your abilities are important and give many tricks such as you could blind, or near sight the enemy, or you could make smokes to block the enemies vision. Another use is you could make walls to blasting a global laser down on your enemies. At the beginning of a round you buy your abilities and can use them though the keys E, Q, C, and X. E and Q is used for basic abilities like blinds and , but some abilities are unique like gernades, turrets, teleports, and drones. E is your basic ability that you start off with for free but you have to buy C and E. The key X is used for your ultimate ability for example, A oribital laser, global barrier, Global teleport, Revive, and thats just a few of them. Ultimate bilities need 7 orbs which you can get by collecting them across the map or, defeating 7 people.
A big part of valorant is the agents, agents are the characters you choose at the beginning of the game. You generally start off with the starting agents, sova, sage, jett, pheonix, and brim stone. Each of the agents have a different abilities and pistol skins you can get. When you play a agents contract you will get rewards along the way and eventually you will earn the agent.
