Valorant, the Counter-Strike and Overwatch type tactical shooter, launched a closed beta on Tuesday, April 7. Streamers and content creators were given access immediately, and in an attempt to promote the game, Riot Games is releasing access to the beta in the form of drops. The beta drops are unique to Twitch, as it is the only platform that viewers will have the opportunity to receive drops on. The drops work similarly previous twitch drop events like the ones held for Call of Duty. Here is how players can gain access to the Valorant closed b
And lastly, Sova's ultimate ability, Hunter's Fury, can be activated after collecting seven ultimate orbs around the map. This ultimate can be shot through walls and across the map to deal damage to players. It only fired three times so players will need to locate opponents before firing. However, if a player is hit by one of the shots their location will be revealed to the team identical to Sova's other abilit
And lastly, Sage's ultimate make her an incredibly powerful ally and a very annoying opponent. Not only can she heal, block off, and slow, but she can also bring allies back from the dead. Sage's Ressurection allows her to bring one ally back to life at full health. This requires the player to collect seven ultimate orbs which are scattered around the map, but bringing a teammate back after they have already been killed can catch the enemy team by surprise. This ultimate can be paired with Pheonix's effectively giving Pheonix three lives in one ma
Again, Sage is a support character which means none of her abilities deal damage to opponents, but she can use her abilities to control the flow of a game. Sage has three regular abilities and one ultimate ability. Her abilities are the Barrier Orb, Slow Ord, and Heal Orb, and her ultimate ability is Resurrect
Sage's Heal Orb is exactly what it sounds like. It is an orb that can heal either your teammates or yourself. The orb heals the player it is used on back up to full health, and it has a decent range which allows the user to heal players from a distance. However, the orb is a gradual heal meaning players will heal over time. This ability gets even better as it can be used every 35 seco
Run It Back, Phoenix’s ultimate ability, allows the player to regenerate in a specific location. Once equipped, players can place a marker where they stand, and use the following few seconds to wreak havoc. After the player dies or the timer runs out, Phoenix will regenerate in the marked spot with full health. The player can use any of Phoenix’s other abilities and shoot weapons while the ultimate is active. Run It Back takes six charges before it is available for
Speaking of which, aim is the name of the game. It sounds obvious, but VALORANT truly rewards players who are the quickest to click on their opponents' head. Many other shooters have elbow room in that department, but VALORANT can be unforgiving towards players without quick, precise aim. Just click he
Riot Games' latest release, _[[https://valorantcentralhub.com/ valorant weapons|https://Valorantcentralhub.com/]] _ , has taken the internet by storm with record-breaking viewership on its first day in closed beta.

The footage from their sessions of play was embargoed until early April with a closed beta of the game releasing shortly af
The second basic ability is Blaze, which gives Phoenix the power to create a wall of flames wherever he sees fit. The firewall can be placed in a straight line or at a curve, depending on which direction the player moves their crosshair. The wall cannot be seen through, though players can move - and shoot - through it. While Blaze deals damage to those walking through it, it actually heals Phoenix.

Of course, all that attention means that Valorant also has a large player base to manage, some of whom are willing to cheat to get a win. Just days after its closed beta started, Valorant banned its first cheaters . This led to interest in how Valorant ’s anti-cheat system worked, and players discovered that it used a kernel driver that starts whenever a player with Valorant installed turns on their computer, not just when they start the game. Players were understandably nervous about the idea, and some took to Reddit to air their concerns about how much access that gave Riot to their systems.

This morning, Dot Esports reported on Twitter that Valorant hit a wildly impressive milestone of 1.6 million concurrent viewers on Twitch on the first day its closed beta, a major feat for a property that's only been in the public eye for such a short time. It's still going strong at 1.5 million even at the time of writing, which might be a good sign that the game has attracted a reliably strong following before it's even been released. That sizable viewer base could very well wane by the time Valorant 's projected summer release date finally rolls around, but it's anyone's guess at this po
Walking the tightrope between protecting players from cheaters and respecting their privacy can be a difficult task for developers, since any form of anti-cheat software requires some level of monitoring of players’ computers. Riot’s anti-cheat system for Valorant is certainly more invasive than most, but that’s exactly what makes it effective. There’s always the chance that Riot could explore other options if players make their concerns heard enough, but for the time being, **Valorant ** players will need to make peace with the anti-cheat sys

Thirdly, and arguable Sova's most useful ability, is called the Recon Bolt. This is a bolt that recharges every 35 seconds and can be used an unlimited amount of time.

This allows for Sova to reveal an enemy's location before entering a room or moving on to a point.

Players choose from one of nine agents at the beginning of a game, each having their own unique abilities, and buy equipment at the beginning of each round.

This led to interest in how Valorant ’s anti-cheat system worked, and players discovered that it used a kernel driver that starts whenever a player with Valorant installed turns on their computer, not just when they start the game.

And finally, Raze's devastating ultimate is accurately named Showstopper. Her ultimate requires six ultimate orbs to be collected in order to use. When activated Raze pulls out a rocket launcher which she can use to fire a rocket at the enemy team. However, once activated, the player only has a limited amount of time to fire the rocket before her ultimate timer runs out. No worries, all a player needs to do is point, shoot, and watch as the competition is blown away. The rocket fired by Raze causes a huge explosion that causes a lot of damage. Whether she's defending or attacking, her rocket is the best way to clear the po

Riot Games' newest game, Valorant _ , is a tactical hero-based shooter that relies heavily on gunplay as well as the use of skills. _Valorant has nine different "Agents" to choose from each with their own unique abilities. Mastering these abilities can give a player the upper hand in a fight, and pairing them with other agent's abilities could be the difference between victory and def
Cypher’s signature ability is Spycam, which gives the player a secret look into other areas of the map. The player can place Spycam on a wall anywhere on the map, and later peer through the camera to locate enemies. Once an enemy has been located, the camera can shoot a marking dart, tracking the location of any player tagged until they pull the dart out of their agent’s body. Spycam is available for use at the start of each ro

Walking the tightrope between protecting players from cheaters and respecting their privacy can be a difficult task for developers, since any form of anti-cheat software requires some level of monitoring of players’ computers.

Riot Games may never quite outrun its past mistakes, but its staff is likely dancing to the tune of 1.5 million viewers today before returning to the arduous final stretch of development. This victory proves that **Valorant ** might pan out to be the talented studio's next League of Legends (if not more), but they'll have to play their cards just right if they don't want their upcoming title to go the way of its many deceased competitive contemporar
Perhaps unsurprisingly, Arkem’s explanation didn’t convince everyone that this was the right solution to Valorant ’s cheating problem. Some Reddit users flat-out said that they didn’t believe that Riot isn’t spying on them, while others pointed out potential security flaws that the system driver could open up. Arkem did point out that the anti-cheat can be disabled or uninstalled at any time if players are uncomfortable with it, but doing so will keep them from playing Valora
Phoenix’s first basic ability is called Curveball, which allows the player to throw a blinding ball of fire around corners. Once equipped, clicking mouse one will turn the fireball to the left, while clicking mouse two will send Curveball flying to the right. The fireball detonates very soon after launch, temporarily blinding any player who sees it. Curveball is available to buy for 100 credits at the start of every ro
The second basic ability is Blaze, which gives Phoenix the power to create a wall of flames wherever he sees fit. The firewall can be placed in a straight line or at a curve, depending on which direction the player moves their crosshair. The wall cannot be seen through, though players can move - and shoot - through it. While Blaze deals damage to those walking through it, it actually heals Phoenix. Blaze costs 200 credits at the start of each ro
Hot Hands is Phoenix’s signature ability, giving the player a Molotov Cocktail-like ball of flames to use at their disposal. The fireball will explode and spread either on contact with the ground, or after a certain amount of time in the air, where it will take a nosedive to the floor below. Once detonated, the flames spread, covering the immediate area in a damaging fire. Hot Hands deals damage to both enemies and teammates, but, like Blaze, heals Phoe
Riot’s latest game Valorant is a competitive hero-based shooter that plays something like a mix between Overwatch and CS: GO . Even though it’s only in closed beta at this point, Valorant is already one of the most popular games on Twitch , pulling in incredible viewer numbers in its first week. The fact that watching Twitch streams is the only way for most people to get access to the Valorant beta certainly has something to do with that, but plenty of fans are happy just to spect

Sova's first ability is called Owl Drone and is a utility that costs 300 credits. When used the player switches to the drones view which is piloted by the player and can be flown around the map. The drone has incredibly low health, and the player is left vulnerable while piloting the drone. However, the drone can scout ahead and can fire an unlimited supply of darts. If an enemy is hit by a dart their silhouette will glow orange for all of your teammates to
