All map changes coming to Bind in Valorant: Complete details
Bind and Breeze were the two Valorant maps that were discontinued by the developers at the start of the current Episode 6, along with the release of the three-site map Lotus.
As per the latest announcement, Bind is all set to return after three months at the start of Episode 6 Act 3 and will be included as part of the competitive queue along with Patch 6.08 from 25th April onwards.
Here are a complete list of changes that players will witness on Bind, that are bound to bring a breath of fresh air along with it.
Bind - A Site Changes
A Site Teleporter
The biggest change is the teleporter that leads from B Site to the A Site has been shifted closer to A Bath.
Earlier, players used to teleport outside A Lobby, which was significantly further away from the A Site but gave players the chance to either enter the site through A Bath or A Cubby.
Now, players will teleport right outside A Bath, significantly closer to the site but the rotation from A Cubby will be much more time consuming.
A Site Bath - Entry / Exit
Minor changes towards the entry and exit of A Bath where the size of the corner walls have been slightly increased to accommodate for better holds and peeks during gunplay.
A Site - Near Tower and Back Wall
Just below A Tower, a small cylindrical object has been added which may or may not affect the overall gameplay on the site. Yes, players can jump over it and stand but the line of sight which they will obtain is unclear at this point in time.
While entering A Site from Defender Side Spawn, the back wall which was angled and had a small space to tuck behind has now been straightened providing minimal cover to incoming players.
A Site - Crates Rearranged
The four crates inside the A Site have been rearranged from a set of 2x3 boxes to two sets of 1x2 and 2x2 boxes, covering a bit more area on the ground while providing a decreased line of sight from above two crates.
Bind - B Site Changes
B Site - Hall Enterance
On this site only a few changes have been made, starting with the B Hall entrance into the B Site being widened considerably. This could allow attackers to get a better peek towards the Defender Side Spawn while also making it difficult for players to run across the door.
B Site - Hall to Elbow Tunnel
A few closed vents along with an open vent has been added in the tunnel connecting B Hall to B Elbow. This vent can be used in various ways to help lineup some utilities into the site and could be a new holding angle post or pre plant.
These are the complete list of changes that will be coming to Bind at the start of Episode 6 Act 3, with the map set to release in the competitive queue along with Patch 6.08 on 25th April.
