Valorant: Only these agents can pull off this big brain rat play on Pearl

With Pearl having hit the competitive mode in VALORANT, the player base has mined a plethora of maneuvers and tricks which bend the physics of the map seemingly punishing their opponents if you’re not careful enough.

A massive rat play has been discovered on the B-site of Pearl which indeed allows the player to manipulate their player model while looking downwards although not every agent is able to pull this trick off. Let’s get into detail with MrLowlander having posted this on his YouTube channel where he just couldn’t spot some agents hiding in this prime spot on the B-site of pearl. 

According to the YouTuber, all you would need to do is hide in the B–site Cubby while coming from B-Long and look downwards. Upon hearing your opponents’ footsteps, you may come out of your hiding and hit them while their backs turned. So far only Chamber, Brimstone, KAY/O, and Reyna can exploit this rat play while others won’t be able to just because their player models differ from the former.

While attempting this trick on Sage and Jett, your position might get compromised due to their hair being visible just above the cubby wall. This might not work every possible round as there would arrive a moment when that corner is checked and there is no one to watch your six. 

Chamber can trick his opponents in checking the corner with his Rendezvous ability by teleporting just behind them.

Valorant Pro Tenz asks fans to disable Bullet Tracers for improving spray In Game

Spraying with weapons has always remained an integral part of competitive FPS games like CSGO or Valorant.

While spraying may not be very viable in long-range duels, it’s still crucial for any close to mid-range gunfights, which is why most players need to learn the spray patterns for the different weapons out there.

Spraying in Valorant is considered to be more difficult than in CSGO, especially due to the fact that there are some elements of randomness in Valorant weapon sprays whereas CSGO sprays can be perfected with practice.

In one of his recent livestreams, Sentinels star Tyson “TenZ” Ngo has explained how simply turning off an in-game Valorant setting can significantly improve your sprays in the game.

While bullet tracers generally act as an indication of where the bullets from weapons are going, TenZ says that they can often be misleading and cause players to mess up their sprays.

“It was mostly with the Vandal that I noticed this,” the 21-year-old said. “The tracers are not synced all the time. Sometimes I look at the tracers to compensate my spray and I feel like sometimes it just messed my spray up.”

You can take a look at the clip here.

The obvious solution to this problem would be to disable the in-game bullet tracers, but that could cause problems since the tracers can also be quite useful at times. For instance, tracers can help you locate your enemies when they’re firing through a smoke with an unsilenced weapon.

The bullet tracers can be turned off from the General settings in the Valorant menu. Disabling this may also give you a slight boost in FPS.

Over the last few weeks, the organization finished second place at the FIFA eWorld Cup and Gamers8’s Rocket League tournament.

Chamber To Get Nerf Second Time, Confirms Valorant Devs

Chamber To Get Nerf Second Time, Confirms Valorant Devs

Added to the game back in November 2021, The Frenchman Vincent Frabron aka Chamber is a weapons designer for Kingdom. He was a major suspect in the Everett-Linda research facility incident and had met his omega counterpart. He met Brimstone and Viper and was introduced in Valorant as the eighteenth agent. 

The Fourth Sentinel added to the game is much more than just a sentinel. With his aim-centered abilities and economy light kit, Chamber has become one of the most picked agents in Valorant, leaving behind the likes of Jett and Sova in pro play.

In Casual lobbies, we see a Chamber in every match, with most people switching from Jett to Chamber as the kit offered makes him a much better operator agent than Jett. With a pocket Guardian and an Operator which shoots like a Marshal, a good Chamber was a force on defense and offense. 

The Chamber kit additionally provides the ability Rendezvous, which teleports Chamber to a previously set point allowing him to duel early and to escape the duel when he finds it appropriate. The headhunter ability of Chamber offers eight bullets, with each bullet costing 50 credits initially and 100 credits now. 

The Trademark ability offers an interesting slowing of the enemy and is crucial for taking care of flanks. Initially, two strong trademarks defended the sites and were hard to deal with, and later they were nerfed and reduced to one. 

The nerf to Chamber’s Trademark and not to his damaging ability had a severe backlash from the community. Everyone felt this made Chamber more of a Duelist than a Sentinel. With increasing pick rates, everyone believes his ultimate Tour de Force and the Headhunter should be nerfed as they seem overpowered.

Chamber To Get Nerf Again Confirms Valorant Dev

In a Reddit post answering the same, Riot Dev Penguin suggested a Chamber nerf is on the horizon. The upcoming nerf would not traditionally be a nerf but a rework to Chamber, making him more balanced and ensuring other sentinels get their due diligence.

The changes aren’t coming soon and will be out later this year. The changes will be focused on making other Sentinels as reliable as Chamer and balancing out Chambers’s aim concentrated abilities.
