Valorant players are always on the lookout for new strategies and tricks to gain an edge over their opponents. With the recent addition of the Abyss map in the 8.11 update, a new trick involving Jett’s abilities has been discovered that allows her to dodge spike explosions effectively. This article will walk you through how to execute this trick and why it can be a game-changer.
The Abyss map was introduced in Valorant’s 8.11 update, which was released on June 11. This new map brings unique challenges and opportunities for players to explore and master.
Currently, Abyss is available to all players giving everyone a chance to get familiar with its layout and mechanics. However, it will not be included in the competitive rotation for a few weeks to allow players to adapt.
Jett has a unique ability called Updraft. This ability allows her to propel herself into the air, gaining significant height. Players have discovered that this ability can be used strategically on the Abyss map to avoid dying from the spike explosionÂ
If you want to try it out on your own, follow the steps mentioned below:
- As the spike is about to explode, position Jett near the edge of the map.
- Just before the spike goes off, jump off the side of the map. Normally, this would result in death for any other agent.
- While in mid-air, use Jett’s Updraft ability to gain height and avoid the explosion radius.
This maneuver allows Jett to survive the spike explosion, giving her a significant advantage in clutch situations.
In scenarios where the spike is about to detonate, this trick can be the difference between winning and losing a round. It adds another layer of strategy to Jett’s gameplay, making her an even more versatile agent. Opponents may not expect Jett to survive the spike explosion, giving you the element of surprise in subsequent engagements.
