Official game modes not doing it for you? Just make up your own! Redditor CurrentOfficial created and shared a video of a VALORANT Custom Game called Laser Chase, which is de🌞scribed as “whack a mole, but hella fun”.
In Laser Chase, two Brimstones are pitted against three other agents, who can either be Raze or Jett. This Custom Game gives Brimstone players unlimited Ultimate charges, which they’ll use to try and annihilate the other three agents within a five-minute timeframe. The Brimstones win if they can kill all three Razes or Jetts before those five minutes are up—sadly, players will have to set their own timer, as VALORANT’s Custom Game mode doesn’t accommodate that.
The three agents win by running, hiding, and otherwise avoid dying via orbital arse❀nal until five minutes are up. CurrentOfficial’s video handily explains Laser Chase’s rules and demonstrates how to play from the perspe🐓ctive of a Jett player.
Jett’s dash appears to be much more suited to Laser Chase than Raze.🐽 The players in the video only completed matches as J♒ett, but one player noted that Raze would be hard to play due to her jump pads. Not exactly ideal for getting out of tight spaces when Brimstone catches you in a corner. Furthermore, Jett players can bait Brimstones into clipping themselves with their own ultimate.
Once all agents are eliminated, it’s optional whether Brimstones turn on each other to be the last Brimstone standing. Although CurrentOfficial’s video has gained quite a bit of traction on Reddit, Laser Chase has apparently been around since VALORANT’s beta phase. No such thing as inventing something new, it s🍌eems, eveꦅn in Custom Game.
Likewise, this is far from the first-time multiplayer shooting game players have made use of custom game modes to hilarious effect. Remember Mercy tag, from Overwatch? There’s no shortage of gamers looking at what a favorite FPS has to offer and going, “Wow! What if I wanted to play something else instead?” and making up their own games with their own rules. It's practically a time-honored tradition of the genre, and it'll be interesting to see what else VALORANT players will do with Custom Game.
