VALORANT BEGINNER'S GUIDE
VALORANT’s game mode features two teams of five players facing off in rounds with a 30-second buy phase and a 1:40 minute active phase. Where the attackers must plant a bomb or eliminate every enemy to win, while the defenders must prevent the bomb from exploding by eliminating the attackers or defusing the bomb if planted. The first team to reach 13 points wins the game. I'm here today to help you avoid making beginners’ mistakes.
In Game Setting
DO NOT! And I repeat ever go into a game without looking at your setting. Even if it’s tempting. Shooting games can be played in many different styles. Hop in the practice mode and take the time to get everything right.
Controls
The default key for defusing and planting the bomb is "4" on the numpad. Many players coming from CSGO may think the defuse button would be "E" and thus try to defuse to no affect. So please check the controls.
Crosshair
The crosshair is an important aspect for shooter games. There’s no perfect setting for it, but you’ll want to adjust the options to see if its right for you.
When playing
Abilities exist to enhance your gunplay rather than becoming your main asset. Using them makes you vulnerable because of the delay to switch to your weapon. You have to make sure you’re in a safe position to use them, especially for abilities with a long delay.
Aiming down sight (ADS)
It’s a common mistake to think that you’ll aim better when you aim down sight. But it can get u killed most of the time. It is because you’ll rarely exchange fire with a target over 20 meters away from you. Not having to ADS allows you to fire the weapon more accurately. Only ADS when you fights at a long distance to get more accurate shots and reduce the weapon’s spread.
Communicate with your team
This game isn’t meant to be played solo. Communicating with your team is crucial. Having info on enemy and sharing them with your team can give massive advantage and most likely win you the round from it.
Remember that you can still convey information after being elliminated in a round by opening the map and using pings to help your surviving teammates make the right decisions.
Know when to buy and save
Every round, you should be careful with how much you spend because if you end up losing or dying in several rounds in a row, you’ll be forced to stick with cheap weapons and a light shield.
You want to make sure to have enough money to buy better weapon and abilities at the start of each round . The “min next round” information can help you calculate what to buy in case you die during the next round.
TIP
Several strategies can be formed throughout a game. If you ping that you want to save money or spend it all, it can help the rest of your team decide what to do. It’s all a matter of coordination and style. But don’t forget to anticipate instead of thinking of each round individually.
