Anyone who has played tactical shooters like Rainbox Six: Siege or Counter-Strike: Global Offensive knows how difficult it is to land an ace. Eliminating the entire opposing 5-man team on your own as an individual player is also an extremely strong achievement in the new Valorant.
All the more impressive that a Valorant player is now one Ace in just 5 seconds and with just one attack has achieved. We get to see exactly this incredible prank of genius in a Reddit video, in which a player with the character Brimstone wipes all his opponents off the card with a lightning-fast (and also extremely happy targeted) blow. Check it out for yourself:
How the hell did he do it again? In the video we see the player ESC Spook, who starts the round with agent Brimstone. During the 20-second preparation phase of the match, he positions himself at the forefront, directly on one of the blue map blocks that separate the two teams before the start of the round. Shortly before the end of the 20 seconds, he activated Brimstone's Ultimate Ability – an orbital air strike.
With this, ESC Spook aims for luck on a nearby location on the map and then it's off! The round begins, ESC Spook storms forward wildly, his oribital stroke goes down in front of him, he catches an enemy with a few bullets from his rifle – and the round is over and the ace is displayed on his screen.
5 players fried in 5 seconds
So what had happened? All five players on the opposing team ran into Brimstone's Ultima attack as a closed force and were fried within seconds. According to official match statistics, ESC Brook only killed four opponents with the airstrike and shot the fifth. In the video, however, it can be seen that he catches Jett from just a minute before the air strike starts. If he hadn't shot her, she would have been blown away in the radius of the ultra attack.
So what do we learn from it? In order to not only present you this incredibly strong (albeit happy) move from Valorant in this news, but also to teach you something, we draw the following instructive conclusion from this video: Do not run into battle with your entire team at once, otherwise you will you may be deep-frying. As in real life because of Corona, Valorant also means "keep your distance".
So are the skills OP? Now, of course, you might think that Brimstone was completely overpowering. In truth, the skills of the agents are extremely rarely responsible for mass kills, but rather complement the gunplay, as we found in our allusion to Valorant.
