Killjoy’s Alarmbot was arguably the weakest of the Agents abilities, with her Nanoswarm and ultimate – Lockdown – arguably some of the strongest abilities in the game. That is until now with one player discovering that a well-placed Alarmbot acts as a shield against bullets – stand behind it and you are immune from damage.<\/p>\n

If you are unaware Alarmbot works it is similar to Raze’s Boombot in that it seeks out opponents in its vicinity. However, unlike Raze’s Boombot it is static until an opponent is within its range, once in range it will chase them down and explode, causing the recipient to gain a damage multiplier to munitions.<\/p>\n

Kurtis “KurtG” Gallo, who is part of the T1’s Valorant Academy roster<\/a>, has found a more useful function for the Alarmbot though, by placing it around head height and standing behind it, you can not only see through and take shots at opponents it will block any bullets from coming through and landing shots on you.<\/p>\n

KurtG uploaded a clip to his Twitter showing the trick in action, positioning the Alarmbot and himself behind it, at the stairs of midmarket B on Ascent, he watches as players strafe into view dropping three of them. Eventually one manages to shoot the Alarmbot but Kurt quickly finishes him off for the 4-piece. “I am a f**king genius dude!” KurtG can be heard saying.<\/p>\n
