The decay damage will not kill a player but will bring them down to 1 health. Once a player leaves the area dealing decay damage they will start to regenerate the health lost from the...

Once placed, Trapwire will extend to whatever structure stands opposite the wall it was placed on.

Sound and visual cues can alert the enemy of the Trapwire if they take a careful approach. If discovered, the traps must either be shot down or avoided with the ...

Cyber Cage is available to buy at the start of each round for 100 cred Sova has some incredibly unique abilities that are invaluable to any team. He also stands out amongst othe...

Revealed little more than a month ago, Riot Games' latest and greatest has quickly captivated the attention of esports athletes, streamers, and their massive audiences. A hyper-stylized, class-based FPS, Valorant takes some very obvious cues from Activision Blizzard's Overwatch , but it's coming five years down the line from its top hero shooter competitor and has injected a very different personality and competitive focus into the winning formula. Of course, not everyone is impressed by another...
