VALORANT is a competitive 5v5 shooter from Riot Games that has taken the world by storm. It takes the team-based shooter elements of CS:GO and mixes them with character abilities similar to Overwatch. The action is fast-paced and it takes strategy, timing, and precision to get the upper hand on the enemy team.
One of the best things about this game is that it has low system requirements and can run on almost all PCs released in the past few years. The game also has an ESRB rating of T so most people can play it. The game is also free, so there's no excuse not to try it out. This guide will show you how to download and play VALORANT so you can get in on the action.
How to download
Start
Since VALORANT requires fast movement and precise aiming, it's best to set up movement and aiming to your preference. Make sure all the buttons, including jump and crouch, are to your liking and that the mouse sensitivity isn't too high or too low.
When you start VALORANT, there's a basic tutorial to help you master the game's shooting and movement. You can access the range at any time to hone your skills, and you can even focus on specific options like Open Range, Shooting Test, Spike Planting and Spike Diffusal.
Game modes like Spike Rush and Deathmatch can also help you improve quickly. Spike Rush gives you random weapons, and the first team to win four rounds is victorious. Deathmatch lets you choose any weapon you want and shoot people without worrying about the tip.
It's also worth testing out the different Agents to see which one best suits your playstyle. Some Agents are better for offensive play, while others are more defensive. Remember to use agents who compliment other team members.
