A New Team Deathmatch Game Mode
One of the most exciting things that players can’t wait for is a new Team Deathmatch game mode. It’s actually quite similar to the TDM game mode that Apex Legends released earlier this year.
There isn’t too much information about the new game mode yet. However, it’s confirmed that it’s going to feature fast-paced gameplay. It’s the first Deathmatch mode that includes all Valorant weapons, agents, and abilities in-game.
This allows for a unique gameplay experience like no other. It’s going to be a great battlefield to practice not only your aim but also your ability usage.
The new TDM game mode in Valorant Episode 7 is allegedly named HURM. Whatever that means is yet to be known.
HURM is also the first game mode that will feature custom Valorant maps. Unfortunately, these aren’t going to be community-made maps, but just different maps from the ones available in the map pool.
There hasn’t been any news about what the maps will look like, but there has been confirmation that there are going to be a few. This leaves room for some variety and unique experiences with each HURM game.
HURM is very promising. It might instantly be one of the best game modes if executed well. It’s going to be a fun and entertaining mode to play whenever you’re too tired to sweat it out in Competitive.
A New Agent Comes with Valorant Episode 7
Riot has been relatively consistent with their new agent releases. They typically release new agents after a couple of Acts. Luckily, we’re going to be blessed with a new agent with the release of Valorant Episode 7 Act 1.
There isn’t much information about the new agent aside from a couple of teasers. However, we do know that it’s going to be a new Sentinel. At least Riot is finally looking to expand the Sentinel roster. Let’s just all hope that the new agent will be a viable pick in the meta.
In the teaser, the agent can be seen wearing black gloves while on his workbench. To the side, we can see a cup of coffee with a waffle on the side. The bench is filled with various gadgets, including lenses, a screwdriver, tons of tools, parts, and a document.
This had the community wondering if the new agent would be related to Cypher. The two do share some similarities. However, some also speculate that the new agent could be related to Chamber because of their similar clothing style.
There’s only one way to find out, and that’s to wait for the new agent to be released in Valorant Episode 7.
Other Changes in Valorant Episode 7
Another important update in Episode 7 is Valorant’s official open beta launch in China. It’s been three years, and China deserves to finally be able to play Valorant. They have a ton of catching up to do.
Riot also mentioned that they are looking to conduct another global Valorant Premier test sometime in July. Finally, the progression system is going through a huge overhaul in Valorant Episode 7, and you’ll have to stay tuned to find out more information.
