Since the release of Valorant, developers Riot Games have tried to introduce different ways to play the tactical shooter.<\/p>\n

From Spike Rush to the most recent Replication, each mode is designed to create shorter, more casual, games and act as a warm-up and wind down for the sweaty standard mode.<\/p>\n

As of the most recent v2.09 update<\/a>, there are four separate game modes (five if you count unrated), they are Competitive, Spike Rush<\/a>, Deathmatch and Replication<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Competitive, Spike Rush, and Deathmatch are all permanent game modes but Replication is a limited-time mode and there have been two previous ones, Escalation and Snowball Fight, both of which are no longer playable.<\/p>\n

But that is set to change, as Riot Games announced on the 21st May<\/a> that henceforth limited-time modes will swap in and out with every patch, roughly every two weeks.<\/p>\n

The reason all the modes aren’t available all the time is simple – queue times.<\/p>\n

Lisa Ohanian, Valorant’s Modes Senior Producer, explains: <\/p>\n

“Having too many modes active at one time dilutes the queues for all of our modes… which in turn makes it take longer to find a match (or an appropriate one, at least) in any of them.”<\/p>\n

Ohanian also explained that this swapping in and out of game modes will continue, for the time being, depending on how the move is received they may change it again.<\/p>\n

“Our approach to game modes is similar to our rotation plan – we’ll pay attention to what you think, so please let us know if you want anything special to come back or stick around,” said Ohanian.<\/p>\n

Patch notes going forward will now contain information about what LTM is being added. The next patch, v2.11 is expected on 8th June<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
