There are unique features such as horizontal ropes (that work identically to Split’s vertical ropes) and two-tiered planting sites, meaning that you have a low ground option to plant on and a high ground one. The map has a ton of verticality and angles to cover so it’s the most complex map released yet. Icebox was released at the beginning of Act III and takes place in a tundra climate. The courtyard offers a quick short cut to the sides of the map but is risky to cross since it doesn’t contain that much cover.Īnother signature feature that is unique to Ascent is its closeable doors.Īt each defensive site, there is a door that can be open or closed using a switch. It’s a two site map that is located in Venice, Italy.Ĭompared to the other maps, Ascent has the most open area with a large courtyard at the center of the map. AscentĪscent was the first new map to be added since Valorant’s official release. The ultimate orbs can be found at at A main and within B main, also known as the garage. The unique mechanic here is that there are ropes that allow players to quickly ascend or descend quietly – you can find them at A Sewer, B Rafters, and Mid Vent. Its two sites are on the far left and right sides of the map with a middle area that provides high ground dominance. Split was added as of the first day of closed beta. The two ultimate orbs can be found at Site A outside of long A or at Site C outside of long C.įor an in-depth look, check out our advanced Haven guide by Activ! Split Long C has a cubby partway through so attackers can use smokes to advance safely. The other entry point to Site C is through a straight alleyway called “long C”. The garage also acts as a connector to Site C, so attackers that make it through can threaten both B and C. The courtyard also leads to a set of doors called “garage” which allows attackers to wrap around to Site B. Site B is accessible through a window which leads into an outdoor courtyard. Site A is accessible through an L-shaped’ alleyway called “long A” or through an underground passage called “sewers” (A-short).Īs expected, long A is more suited for long-ranged engagements while the sewers will bring close quarter combat. Haven is a three site map (A, B, C), which is also its unique aspect as most bomb/defusal maps in FPS games tend to be two sites. One ultimate orb can be found inside the showers while the other is at long B right in front of the teleporter.įor an in-depth look, check out our advanced Bind guide! Haven

You can also throw projectiles, drones, and guns through teleporters. The teleporter is incredibly noisy so it is somewhat risky to do so if your enemies are expecting it. These allow both attackers and defenders alike to quickly rotate or flank the opposing team. The other takes you from short A to the attacker’s side of hookah. One teleporter takes you from long B to the attacker’s side of showers. Site B is accessible by a path along the beach called “long B” or through a marketplace and window called “hookah”.Ī unique aspect of this map is that there are two one-way teleporters. Site A is accessible through an alleyway in the middle of the map called “short A” or through a building’s hallway called, “showers”. Bind is a two site map (A and B) that has attackers infiltrating from a beach coast.
