Riot Games has introduced Skirmish, a new VALORANT game mode that lets you face off against your duo in a 1v1, concentrating solely on gun skill. It’s a pure gunfight battle!
VALORANT has just released a new game mode called Skirmish. You can play with teams ranging from 1v1 to 5v5, making it a great way to have fun with friends, try out different agent abilities, or get ready for ranked matches. Unlike standard games, Skirmish is quicker and doesn’t require planting the spike.
Skirmish arrives in VALORANT
Skirmish matches typically last between 7 and 9 minutes and are played on three unique maps. You can join matches with teams ranging from 1v1 to 5v5. Because you don’t need to plant a spike, these matches focus solely on aiming, shooting, and overall skill, making them a great, fast way to prepare before playing your ranked games.
This mode includes three unique arenas – Skirmish A, Skirmish B, and Skirmish C – all designed as small, close-quarters battlegrounds perfect for quick and intense gunfights.
The official unveiling of Skirmish was scheduled for October 3rd on Pujan “FNS” Mehta’s official stream. Immediately following the presentation, the game mode will become available within the game, but only through the Custom Game option. This will allow players to be among the first to try out the new maps and gameplay features firsthand.
