VALORANT Viper Hack Lets Players Wall Off The Entire Map

VALORANT is facing more problems as Riot Games' popular battle royale bonanza is being plagued by problems with Viper. With accusations she's one of the weakest Agents in the game - and having a ridiculously low pick-rate - the latest VALORANT Viper hack as given her a serious boost.

While patch 1.07 buffed Viper, it seems the latest update has helped become one of the most powerful Agents in VALORANT. Viper's Toxic Screen usually extends for a set distance, but in this latest exploit, you can make the most of Viper and watch her game-breaking screen spread across the entirety of Bind. 

To make the most of the exploit, you'll have to be on defence, but still, it's handy to know it's there if you're stuck in spot of bother. When launching Toxic Screen toward a teleporter, it's supposed to stop at the threshold. However, as YouTuber GottaBlast shows, the screen redeploys from the teleporter. The mind-boggling glitch means you can split the map with a deadly wall of smog. 

With some clever planning, you can pull this off before the round starts and make an impenetrable wall to protect your team. There are obvious drawbacks, with it making your own side hard to scout on defence and Agents like Phoenix being more likely to launch flashes through the screen.

Viper grabing headlines comes after Omen found himself in a "bind" on Bind and developed the ability to break through spawn barriers. Riot was pretty quick in disabling the hunter from the shadows, meaning he's currently MIA in-game. With the Viper hack, players had better watch out if Bind comes up on rotation.

Although several abilities can make it through teleporters, the Viper one looks like it is an unintended glitch. Until it's patched, players can choose if they want to make the most of the VALORANT Viper hack - not that we condone cheating.
