01
Work on your aim
In VALORANT, precise aim can be the difference between victory and defeat. Dedicate time to aim training exercises, experiment with sensitivity settings, and aim for headshots to increase your lethal efficiency.
02
Learn the maps
Each intricately crafted VALORANT map needs to be learned until you know it like the back of your hand in order to be one of the best.
Learning call-out spots, high-traffic areas and vantage points will automatically raise your game to the next level with no necessary skill required.
03
Master your agent
VALORANT's roster boasts a diverse set of agents, each with unique abilities - you need to specialize in one or maybe two agents to maximise your capabilities.
An effective agent selection can drastically change the outcome of a match, so choose wisely.
04
Communication is key
VALORANT is a team game - make sure you're in tune with your compatriots. Use voice chat or the ping system to relay information, coordinate strategies, and call out enemy positions.
As they say.... don't suffer in silence. Get talking and you can guarantee things will get miles easier.
05
Economy management
Something that is often overlooked is the credit system in VALORANT. You need to ensure your squad has enough to spend each round. Coordinate with your teammates to ensure everyone has enough credits for essential purchases... and don't be frivolous!
06
Learn gun patterns... particularly with recoil
Each weapon in VALORANT has a distinct recoil pattern. Familiarize yourself with these patterns through practice. This allows you to control recoil, ensuring your shots land where you intend.
