Any small room in Valorant is just begging to be filled with Paint Shells. Any enemy foolish enough to be seeking refuge inside these rooms is going to need to choose between one of two deaths: death by explosion, or death by bullet. Either way, you've come out on
Every day, more and more VALORANT fans are getting their hands on beta key drops from Twitch streams and with a total of ten agents to choose from, new players are often left wondering just who they should play. Before figuring out a main for Riot's new tactical shooter, it's best to learn what differentiates the agents from each other, as well as the similarities between t
Brimstone's stim beacon gives him and his teammates rapid-fire, and his sky smokes block vision. Brimstone is the perfect agent for any player who wants to lead their team to victory through gaining positional advantages in fig
Although Geminis aren't particularly fiery personalities, they like versatile gameplay and change. Heroes with carry potential through damage as well as utility for their own team are a perfect fit for Gemi
Omen's strength comes from his mobility. His two teleport abilities can put him almost anywhere on the map at any time, making him a real threat for a team that fails to communicate his movements in t
While ranked at the bottom among all Controllers, Harbor is not a bad agent in Valorant. However, when compared to other Controllers, his abilities are not as effective. So, when it comes to Viper, she has damage-dealing walls and smokes, or in Brimstone's case, he has a great Ultimate that can earn kills or even Astra's Ultimate is quite beneficial in controlling or taking a site, but Harbor isn't just close to any of t
Scorpios are both loved and hated for being cunning and resourceful, but any teammate will be glad to have someone as smart as them on the team. While they might be stubborn, Scorpios bring some serious muscle to any composit
A Tower – Hopping on the boxes to place the camera in the upper corner provides sight over the entire room and is not immediately obvious to players who may not have checked their mini-map for the Spycam locat
Above C Short, C Site Long, C Site C Short – Any of these can provide good value, but Cypher is not one to hold the location. Experiment with which works best, as this will be used sparingly.
Using Each Spot Effecti
Placing a camera at the above locations is not enough to make a difference on its own. The best Cypher players will be up to date on their map knowledge with each new patch, will experiment to learn which locations suit them best, and above all else, will use their mics to communicate effectively. A good Cypher can make games feel as though one were cheating thanks to the information made available, and this is something every player should learn to do, even if not planning to play the agent exclusiv
A Tower – This is a great spot to experiment with, but like Bind: A Short, should see a change in the future. Placing the Spycam outside of the window near the decorative, upwards pointing rocks provides a high viewpoint, but too much cover for opponents to quickly ident
A couple of things to keep in mind about Showstopper is that you have to fire it in a certain time from once pulling it out, thus the Rocket Fuse in the picture above. Also, when you fire it, the force of it is going to knock you back a few feet, so make sure you're mindful of that and don't step back somewhere you don't want to
Sage is currently the most popular hero in the game due to her ability to heal her teammates and resurrect them from the dead. She also brings in other utility such as a slowing orb, which can be used in combination with abilities such as Brimstone's Orbital Str
<img alt="" />Breach is a great agent to pick up due to his high damage output and insane utility. His ultimate Rolling Thunder is one of the best in the game, stunning enemies in a line which allows his team to go in and wreak ha
Riot Games’ latest entry Valorant has taken the entire gaming community by storm. A tactical shooter by nature, Valorant has been dominating Twitch since its closed beta release. From casual players to big-name professionals, everyone seems to be on the <a href="http://ecodir.net/Valorant-Game-Blog_316560.html">Valorant tips</a> bandwa
Above A Screens #1 – We will mention this as one of the best places to place a camera, but we expect this to be patched out. Placing the Spycam here is not an exploit, but it provides such an abundance of information that it feels like a prime candidate for a nerf in the future. From here, Cypher can see spawn, screens, A Tower, A Main, and more. For now, this is a prime location to learn, but do not be surprised if in the future it is changed or removed due to simply being too effici
As VALORANT is still in beta, Riot Games is constantly working to ensure the game is working as intended by design, and this means patching out Spycam exploits on each map as they appear. As a result, each patch often brings map changes, some meant to help overall gameplay, but many with Cypher and his Spycam in mind. These and future patches should be observed closely to ensure the best Cypher play and counterplay. This guide will focus on patch 0.5, with the goal of thinking long-term about how best to use Cypher and his tool
