Click to enlargeThe biggest new content addition for VALORANT Chapter 6 Act 1 is the introduction of the new Lotus Map. Set in India, this gorgeous-looking map has a few gameplay tricks up its sleeve to keep things fresh. Most notably, it returns to the three-site map style of Haven, giving Attackers more options in their assault.
Elsewhere, there is a new revolving door mechanic that will surely make for some interesting map traversal plays. There's also a section where players can drop from one level to another silently by using a small gravel slide. We can't wait to see how these new gameplay mechanics play out once they're in the hands of public lobbies.
