Valorant has become one of the world’s most famous team-based competitive FPS game within months of its launch.The shooter launched with a lot of content, and the developers have promised to support it for the foreseeable future. They add new content in the form of new Acts and Episodes. Episode 1 has 3 Acts, while Episode 2 will launch in early January.With each Act, Riot Games has introduced a new battle pass, a new Agent, along with either a new map or a new game mode. The Ascent map (Episode 1: Act 1) and Icebox map (Episode 1: Act 3) came out this way, while Episode 1: Act 2 saw a new game mode, Deathmatch.With Riot alternating between a new map and new game mode, players have been speculating about the possibility of the latter in Episode 2: Act 1.Valorant game modes# 1- Ranked Plant/DefuseIn this game mode, two teams of 5 players clash to either plant the spike on designated sites or prevent it from being planted. This is the primary game mode through which a player’s rank is affected.#2 - Unranked Plant/DefuseThe unranked version is quite similar to its ranked counterpart. However, unlike the latter, it does not affect the rank of a player in Valorant.#3 - Spike RushThe spike rush is a much shorter form of the plant/defuse gameplay with random weapons and abilities.#4 - DeathmatchDeathmatch is a recent addition with Episode 1: Act 2. In this game mode, 14 players fight to get the highest number of kills.Other than the standard game modes, there is a practice mode and a custom mode.Possible upcoming game modes#1 - Team DeathmatchWith Valorant recent snowball fight for the holiday event, fans are excited about a possible TDM mode. Team Deathmatch could undoubtedly be exciting and bring the gunplay of Deathmatch and the team aspect of the plant/defuse to the forefront.The snowball fight game mode in Valorant is too dope. It needs stay as a permanent game type— Christopher Sandmanz (@Righteous_Nerd_) December 26, 2020#2 - Story ModeWith its deep lore, interesting characters, and potential storylines, Valorant’s single-player story mode campaign could undoubtedly be impressive. Other FPS games, such as Call of Duty, are well known for their story modes. However, a Valorant developer recently confirmed there are currently no plans for a traditional story mode.#3 - Gun ProgressionValorant could certainly introduce a gun progression mode similar to CS: GO’s Arms Race. Players would start with a Classic and progress through a tier of weapons all the way to an Operator and finally a Knife. They would move on to the next level when they get a kill, and the first one to get a kill with a knife would be the winner. This mode could be an exciting deviation of the standard Deathmatch and would certainly match the tone of Valorant.#4 - 2v2With CS: GO’s Wingman and with CoD: Modern Warfare’s Gunfight, the 2v2 game mode has slowly risen to be a fun addition to an FPS game. However, Valorant’s maps are made for a 5v5 setting, and with a low TTK, 2v2 might not be suitable for the game.Getting better at the snowball fight on Valorant,🤣 it's absolutely mad and chaos but I love it pic.twitter.com/iUWnd064uq— F U E L // NatashaReidX 🎮👾 (@NatashaReidX) December 23, 2020There can be more possible additions to the game modes in the future, such as a battle royal or a co-op wave horde shooter. However, the most likely mode seems to be Team Deathmatch, though everything is speculation until official confirmation.
