Valorant: Complete Cypher Sunset guide

Valorant's map, Sunset, was introduced at the start of Episode 7 Act 2, becoming the second map to be brought into the game in 2023. What makes this one interesting is the absence of gimmicky features that have been rampant in previous maps in Riot's character-based tactical shooter. Another aspect that sets Sunset apart is the fact that Cypher, the game's OG sentinel, is apparently the best one on it.

It has been a while since Cypher mains have got the time to shine, as evident from the Moroccan Agent's pick rates being in the gutters for a long time now. It is too early to state whether Cypher will emerge as the dominant pick on the map, but he certainly looks like a viable choice for sure.

Good Cypher gameplay is based on strong setups. In this guide, you will encounter a variety of options for placing Cypher's Spycam, Trapwires, and Cyber Cages. Mixing these up over the course of a game will always keep your enemies on their toes.
