Highlights
Team Deathmatch is coming to Valorant as part of the Season 7 content drop on 27th June.
The game mode will be permanently available and feature exclusive maps.

Team Deathmatch (TDM) is coming to Valroant as part of the Season 7 update as a permanent game mode that you can enjoy. Maxbot, who is a cleaning robot featured in the Episode 4 WARM UP cinematic, was shot, smashed, teamed up on, then relegated back into a glorified vacuum. Due to the humiliation and resentment he faced, the robot chose to hack Valorant’s teleportal and redirected the agents into his own contraption where they are forced to fight. That is the canonical lore behind the creation of Team Deathmatch and fans are loving it. Here is a quick rundown of everything you need to know about Team Deathmatch in Valorant including its new maps, ruleset and release date.

Valorant Team Deathmatch Maps 

When Team Deathmatch arrives in Valorant, we will get three custom maps designed solely for the new game mode. 

  • DISTRICT: A map with a long sniper alley to one side and a horseshoe-shaped building on the other side that can be used to control mid.

  • PIAZZA: A map with a relatively open mid overlooked by sniper nests, each nest can be flanked by huts on either side.

  • KASBAH: An arena-style map with many connections to the middle of the map, which holds most of the resources.

Valorant Team Deathmatch Rules

  • Team Deathmatch is Valorant’s team-based 5v5 deathmatch mode.

  • Progress through 4 stages of progressively deadlier combat, each with a unique loadout of weapons you can select in the spawn room. Fight with your weapons, recharging abilities, and Ultimate Orb, Recovery Orb, and Weapon Spawners on three exciting maps.

  • The first team to 100 kills, or the highest score at the end of 10 minutes wins. 

According to Valorant game designer Kyle Powell, “Our goal when designing Team Deathmatch was to create a combat-centric experience where players can showcase their creativity and mechanical skill. This mode allows players to compete with fewer constraints in an environment that rewards bold plays and fast reflexes”
