Game Modes in Valorant

Valorant is a free-to-play 5v5 competitive tactical shooter from the first-person (FPS) perspective created by Riot Games.

It allows you to use agents with different abilities plus the unique guns together with games modes for an exciting gameplay that you’ve never experienced before.

As of writing, there are 3 game modes in Valorant and I will list them down below.

Unrated

Unrated is the standard Valorant gameplay where you’ll take turns between attacking and defending.

• You will be divided into two teams of 5: Attackers and Defenders
• The goal is to wipe out all enemies or complete objectives as Attackers or Defenders
• You will start as Attackers or defenders and in the 2nd half your roles will be switched
• Attackers will need to plant the spike before the allotted time
• Defenders will need to stop attackers from planting the spike or defuse it before the timer stops

Spike Rush is a faster version of Unrated with the same rules. There are random power-up orbs and randomized weapons.

• First to four round wins
