Valorant Gameplay

Valorant is a first-person tactical hero shooter set in a near-futuristic setting that offers an immersive team-based gaming experience. Players take on the role of agents, characters inspired by different countries and cultures, each with unique abilities and ultimates that need to be charged through different in-game actions. The main game mode divides participants into attacking and defending teams, each consisting of five players.

At the start of each round, players are equipped with a “classic” pistol and charged with “signature abilities.” A complex economic system controls the acquisition of weapons and ability charges, with in-game currency awarded based on round results, individual kills, and completed objectives.

The game’s arsenal covers a wide variety of weapons, including secondary options such as sidearms and primary options such as submachine guns, shotguns, machine guns, assault rifles, and sniper rifles. The shooting dynamics of automatic and semi-automatic weapons require players to master unique shooting patterns for accurate gameplay. There are currently 23 agents to choose from, 5 of which are initially unlocked when players create an account, and the rest can be obtained through the in-game currency “Kingdom Points”.

These points can be earned by playing games, completing daily and weekly missions, and can be used to unlock new agents or cosmetic items. In addition, new agents within the first 28 days after release can be unlocked using Valorant Points (VP), purchased with real money or earned through specific activities and Xbox Game Pass subscriptions.
