Omen's teleportation skills can be vital in winning rounds, when used correctly. Having the ability to transport around the map at will and spring attacks on opponents from behind makes the hunter one of the most used Agents in VALORANT.

However, a new exploit has been found which will make players race to select him in-game. Get your mouse at the ready as Omen is about to become the hottest Agent in the game.

New Omen exploit lets you break through walls

This exploit is a complete game-changer. During the buy-in phase of each round in VALORANT, the spawn walls will restrict players from advancing toward the enemies as they choose whether they want to pick a sniper to watch over the bomb sites or get aggressive with a submachine gun.

However, as your teammates are planning their routes and how to use abilities to block off lanes of sight, Omen can sneak off and advance to the enemy spawns by breaching the spawn barriers.

Youtuber, Dylbodz, found that if a teammate stands on the boxes at the middle lane on the "Bind" map, and the player controlling Omen attempts to transport to the same boxes - due to the hitboxes not colliding - Omen will be transported through walls and has a free rein of the map before anyone else.

This would allow for Omen to effectively spawn trap opponents by sneaking into hidden places and taking the enemy by surprise. As you can see in the video, the Omen quickly picks up two kills, turning the round in their favour.

Beware though, Riot Games is renowned for its notorious reputation when it comes to banning players who take advantage of exploits. So if you're going to use this, it will be at your own expense.
