Riot Games is trying something new to meet the expectations of VALORANT players hungry for more competitive experiences, introducing Skirmish: Ascension.
This evolution of the popular Skirmish mode offers a curated selection of agents with limited abilities, phase-based weapon pools, and a competitive ranking system via the FTW platform, where you can earn in-game rewards.
And that’s not all. You’ll find the familiar 2v2 matchmaking, along with a 1v1 mode for a truly intense competitive experience.
As for the loadouts, weapons will depend on the phase of the match. First, you'll start with pistol rounds featuring the Bandit and the Sheriff; next up, the Guardian and the Bulldog; and for the majority of the match, you’ll be playing with the Vandal and the Phantom.
Skirmish: Ascension will be available from April 29 to June 22. Are you ready for the ultimate competitive experience?
