Valorant Map Disabled from Competitive Pool after Devs Find Exploit

Since its global launch on June 2nd, Valorant has managed to gather quite a fan following. The 5v5 FPS has been the talk of the town for quite some time now and looks like Riot has struck gold. But the game has been constantly reported for bugs and glitches which hamper gameplay.

Valorant’s twitter account this morning read

If you’re wondering what the exploit is, it is something to do with Reyna. Have is the only map on in the pool that has 3 bombsites. It does get annoying at times and fans have called it out as well.

Valorant Reyna Exploit on Haven

3 bombsites still don’t mean the map can’t be played. It’ll take some time for players to get used to it. You must’ve noticed that Bombsite C on Haven has a metallic structure on the left as you enter the site from long. Look at the picture below for reference.

Reyna’s abilities include health drain, a flash that can go through walls, dismiss (being invisible momentarily), and the Empress ultimate. Here’s where the fun starts. Whenever Reyna kills an enemy, she has the option to either drain health or capture the orb which gives her the dismiss ability.

On Haven, when Reyna kills someone while standing near the metallic structure, all she has to do is use the dismiss ability to capture the orb and once she is invisible, she can just noclip inside the metallic structure. If she has the spike, it can also be planted inside it and cannot be defused once done. She can also ‘wallbang’ while staying inside.

A Redditor posted this video which shows exactly how you can exploit Reyna’s ability in Haven. Take a look:

The number of bugs that Riot has had to deal with is insane. And noclipping through objects? Well, there’s no doubt they call Reyna to be OP.

Riot has disabled the same from the competitive map pool. This will prevent exploiters from using this and ranking up quicker. A fix will come out soon.
