If you’re not ready to jump into the VALORANT ranked grind when Season 26 launches, there’s another addition to the game that’s a far more casual and chaotic experience. All Random One Site is a new, limited-time mode that focuses on chaotic action around a single bomb site.
Launching alongside VALORANT Patch 12.00 on Jan. 7, All Random One Site is a 5v5 mode where you spawn as a random Agent every round, with no duplicates per team. You can get any Agent, even those you don’t have unlocked. Don’t worry about having to learn the abilities, though, as you get full charges every round and they also recharge during the round.
The only exception is the Ultimates, but those are also significantly cheaper and easier to get. An Ultimate requires only two Orbs/kills to be fully charged, with more Orbs than usual scattered across the map. At the same time, if you kill an enemy, they drop an Orb that contains their accumulated charge. This means you can use as many as three Ultimates (if not more) in a single round.
Buy phases are also much simpler. You don’t have to worry about the economy or shields – simply pick one of the provided loadouts and charge into battle. It works similarly to buy phases in Team Deathmatch, except it’s round-based with four stages.
All this chaos is taking place on only one bomb site. There are eight maps in the pool: Abyss, Ascent, Breeze, Corrode, Pearl, Icebox, Sunset, and Split. Every round, one random bomb site becomes active, while the paths to other sites are blocked by barriers.
You’ll likely see some new and unusual ability combinations while playing All Random One Site. That is, if you’ll be able to see anything at all with all the utility flying around a single site. This mode, alongside the new sidearm and a Breeze rework, is hitting VALORANT with the launch of Season 26 on Jan. 7.
