(ULT) Armageddon

EQUIP a tactical strike targeting map. FIRE to select the origin point of the strike. FIRE again to set the end point and launch the attack, unleashing a wave of explosions along the strike path. ALT FIRE during map targeting to cancel the origin point.

VALORANT is also introducing Flex, the first new content type since launch in the form of handheld objects that gives players more ways to express themselves in-game. It is equipped via Collections and appear in game in a player’s Spray Wheel. To celebrate the launch of Flex, players will receive a free Flex with a second Flex available in the Season 2025 // Act I Battlepass.
