How to place a spike in Valorant

RollingHank·8 months ago

Placing the spike in Valorant is pretty straightforward but super crucial! When you're the attacker, first, make sure you have the spike (it'll show in your inventory if you do). Navigate to the bomb site (marked A or B on most maps). Look for a highlighted area on the ground, that's your cue! Stand in that spot, and press the '4' key on your keyboard to start planting the spike. Stay alive and keep an eye out for defenders trying to stop you. Once the planting starts, it takes 4 seconds to plant, so make sure your team's got your back!

Actually, planting the spike isn't always the best move. Sometimes faking a plant to draw enemies out can be way more effective. You start the plant to make noise, then stop to fight off the defenders who come running. Big brain plays!
