VALORANT: Best Camera Tripwire Spots For Cypher

A Tower – Hopping on the boxes to place the camera in the upper corner provides sight over the entire room and is not immediately obvious to players who may not have checked their mini-map for the Spycam locat


Above A Screens #1 – We will mention this as one of the best places to place a camera, but we expect this to be patched out. Placing the Spycam here is not an exploit, but it provides such an abundance of information that it feels like a prime candidate for a nerf in the future. From here, Cypher can see spawn, screens, A Tower, A Main, and more. For now, this is a prime location to learn, but do not be surprised if in the future it is changed or removed due to simply being too effici


Avoiding early damage or causality is very crucial, and it’s better to wait behind covers instead of peeking mid. After drawing out enemy abilities, players can push through Mail Room or Vent depending upon the situat


Similarly, players can also look up the recharge duration of enemy Ultimates and prepare themselves beforehand. There are different ways to recharge Ultimates in Valorant which include, kills, assist, Spike plant/defuse, or by consuming the Black Orbs that are scattered around the


Another form of visual cover that Viper has access to, the Toxic Screen can be used in a lot of the same ways that the Poison Cloud can be, though because of it's different shape, it can be used in slightly different ways. Because it's set up in a line instead of a sphere, it's pretty easy to use to simply cover a doorway, or use as a way to dance in and out of an enemy's line of sight without necessarily hampering what you can see too m


Of all the Agents in VALORANT , Cypher has some of the best potential for high-level play thanks to the information that can be gleaned from the use the Spycam, Tripwire, and Cyber Cage. However, playing Cypher effectively requires a disproportionate mastery of map knowledge to succeed. Staying up to date on how maps change throughout the beta is key, but the reward is masterful plays with this Ag


Some of the gadgets or utilities that have been deployed by the enemy using their respective abilities can be destroyed. The two main ones being Sova’s Recon Bolt and Cypher’s Trapwire. If a player gets hit by Cypher’s Trapwire, the player can shoot it down before it scans the player or blows


As VALORANT is still in beta, Riot Games is constantly working to ensure the game is working as intended by design, and this means patching out Spycam exploits on each map as they appear. As a result, each patch often brings map changes, some meant to help overall gameplay, but many with Cypher and his Spycam in mind. These and future patches should be observed closely to ensure the best Cypher play and counterplay. This guide will focus on patch 0.5, with the goal of thinking long-term about how best to use Cypher and his tool


Although very minor, it’s still important to know that players jumping on B Site from Towers will take fall damage. Players will take 15 fall damage, which goes through Shields. Even a slight health discrepancy between you and enemies could lead to you losing a tr


A Tower – This is a great spot to experiment with, but like Bind: A Short, should see a change in the future. Placing the Spycam outside of the window near the decorative, upwards pointing rocks provides a high viewpoint, but too much cover for opponents to quickly ident

Just because a Boom Bot gets shot before it detonates on an enemy doesn't mean it was a waste. Sending a Boom Bot into an occupied hallway/room is, nine times out of ten, going to force an enemy to destroy it before it destroys them, and if you're paying attention, you'll be able to tell where the shots came from and where the enemy is before you en


However, Viper's Pit, which is Viper Ultimate ability, is very unique. It blankets a, quite frankly, staggeringly huge area in a green haze. This not only reduces the visibility of those inside, but it also reduces the max health of enemies ins


The Snake Bite is a pretty simple ability but has a variety of uses. The most obvious use is its area denial, preventing enemies from accessing a certain area unless they'd like to be acid-burned. It can also be a pretty good way to prevent a Spike Plant if an enemy is in mid-plant and you toss this down on t


But she can also be a maestro capable of manipulating the enemy team into bad situations in the hands of the slower, more thought-out player, too. She can force enemies to give themselves away or abandon their cover, forcing them right into either her or a teammate's sight lines, all without putting herself at very much r


As of this writing, Split is one of the most controversial maps in Valorant weapons due to it being extremely defending team sided. It has two bomb sites, both of which are very different and unique. A site is pretty wide open with not much cover whereas B site is very congested with multiple structures on it. Due to Split having a lot of angles and covers, many players do not like playing on the
