Sometimes, it's all about sending a message.

With a new patch for 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:VALORANT just around the corner, many players are 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:speculating about the new Agent's abiliti൩es, theorizing about the theme for the upcoming battle pass, and yelling at Riot Games to 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:nerf Raze. However, one group of players has taken it upon themselves to assert their dominance in the most absurd manner ꦗpossible, partia𝔍lly breaking the game in the process.

In VALORANT, each round begin🍷s with a buy phase. During this short period of time, players on each team purchase weapons and abilities, as well as maneuver around the map to reach advantageous positions. The map is split down the middle by barriers, preventing each team from eng🌌aging with each other until the official round starts.

During this buy phase, players are also unable to use damaging abilities. In VALORANT, friendly fire is enabled, but♒ only for abilities. Gunfire does not damage tea𝕴mmates. All of these factors should theoretically prevent any player from dying during the buy phase.

Theoretically.

One group of friends decided they didn't waꩵnt to play by the rules anymore. They wanted to go to a place no Agent had ever gone before. While Riot prevents players from damaging each other during the buy phase, they don't stop players from damaging themselves.

Using the drop from Heaven to B Site on the map Split, the defending team can deal enough damage to themselves during pistol round to die before the official round begins. The attackers never even get aꦰ chance to see their enemies. While amusing, the rest of the video pos🗹es some interesting questions.

Following the deaths of the defending team, many would expect the round to end. ♐However, the round never actually started. The video continues with the attacking team pushing through Garage. They stumble upon the fiveꦯ corpses of the fallen defenders before planting the Spike. The 45 second countdown commences, the Spike detonates, and the attacking team wins the round.

This is clearly an oversight from the developers, but not a very substantial one. This may be the only time when this very specific event takes place. However, I am curious to see what would happen if the attackers had killed themselves using abilities after the round had already started. Would the defenders win the round, even though they had all been dead since before the round even started? If players look into this and are able to 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:exploit the bug, it could become game-breaking.

Act II of VALORANT launches on August 4, bringing with it 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:a new Agent, gamemode, and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:battle pass.
