VALORANT Episode 9 Act 3 introduces Glitch, a new Team Deathmatch map
2166
A new bomb-objective map is not arriving any time soon, with Abyss recently added. Instead, players can expect a brand-new Team Deathmatch map known as Glitch to enter the game when Episode 9 Act 3 launches.
This 5v5 TDM map is set in a dual-themed arena.
One side is a sunny, abandoned version of Sunset, while the other is a wintery variant of Haven.
The Team Deathmatch mode continues with the slighted Maxbot narrative. The training bot became sentient and took over the Radiants' portals, sending them to fight to their death in the various TDM arenas.
Alongside its dual-theme, there's plenty of VALORANT's wild TDM structure incorporated. Here are the key features of the new Glitch map in VALORANT, according to Riot Games:
Symmetrical map layout
Three lanes:
An advantageous tower for players to position themselves in
Interior outer lane is enclosed
Mid lane offers a position of power for teams
Spawns are open to prevent players from spawn camping
A variety of Easter Eggs for you to found spread throughout the map
This "glitched out" Maxbot arena is going to feel a bit trippy at first, but once you put in the hours, you'll get the hang of it. It shouldn't be too complicated to navigate after a handful of games, where you'll learn just when and where to stomp your enemies into the ground.
