What makes unique is the mix of agent skills and gunplay. Still, some players prefer to cower behind a corner and wait for a kill. Here are the best Valorant agents against campers.

Let’s face it, campers exist in every online shooter. You’ll encounter them in CS:GO, Call of Duty, and even Valorant. After all, Riot’s title is a tactical shooter and strategy plays a big role. Camping isn’t necessarily wrong, it’s just frustrating to play against. The many nooks and crannies make some maps in Valorant feel more like a maze, and you have to check every corner to be sure. The good news is that you don’t always have to do this.

Valorant: The best agents against campers

There are currently 16 agents in Valorant, and most of them have access to some sort of crowd control. Still, there are some who excel at driving enemies out of their hiding places. Agents who are particularly good at this are the Initiators.

Sova

Arguably the best when it comes to causing headaches for the opposing team. Sova’s main tool is his reconnaissance projectile. After the bolt is placed on a surface, it triggers a pulse and reveals the position of nearby enemies. The only counter for the enemy team, is to destroy it before it activates. However, the window for this is very short and they will still give away their position. The rest of Sova’s abilities are also good for luring people out of hiding, but think twice before just randomly firing Wrath of the Hunter at a wall.

Breach

As the name suggests, Breach is excellent at… Breach. All of his abilities go right through walls, rooftops, and terrain. This makes him perfect for sniping some campers. Aim through the corner and shake up the campers. His aftershock has been reworked in patch 3.00 and now deals damage three times instead of just once. This is bad for bursts but good for sustained threat.

Skye

The Australian agent is a mix of Sova and Breach. She has the pathbreaker, which resembles Sova’s owl drone. Her flashbangs can be directed and Seeker detects and reveals nearby enemies. Overall better than most other agents against campers, but not as good as the two agents we mentioned above.

KAY/O

Then we have the newest agent to join the roster. KAY/O has access to a grenade, a flashbang and the ability to suppress enemy abilities. The flashbang and grenade can be helpful, but there are definitely better options.

 

 

 

Honorable mentions:

Yoru/Omen

Both agents can teleport around the map, and this allows you to not have to peek around a corner. Flanking can work wonderfully, as most players are usually focused on watching a specific spot and not expecting an ambush.

Agents with a Molly

There are quite a few agents in Valorant with access to a Molotov-like ability. These include Brimstone, Viper, and Killjoy (to an extent). Raze’s paint bombs also deserve a mention here, even if it’s not technically a Molly.

What is Valorant?

Valorant initially appears to be a cross between CS:Go and . A competitive shooter where two small teams compete against each other.

Your team is either ready to attack or defend, with the attackers placing a “stinger” (essentially a bomb) that the other team must then defuse or preferably prevent you from placing at all.

The attacking team can win by either eliminating the defenders or placing the stinger and then protecting it from defusing until the timer runs out. The defenders can similarly win by destroying the attackers before they have a chance to plant their stinger, or disarming the stinger after it has been planted.

Each team of five can play as both attackers and defenders during a game. Each game has a total of 25 rounds, with the first team to win 13 rounds declared the winner
