Lotus takes us to India
All the details about Lotus, the new VALORANT map
Lotus will arrive as the new VALORANT map on January 10, 2023 next to episode 6, chapter 1.
The team wanted to make a map with three different zones and provide great flexibility and movement for both teams according to Joe Lansford, level designer. And it is that Lotus will challenge us to attack or defend three different areas that we can access through revolving doors.
In Lotus we will have three different bomb zones
The “A” zone is framed by different structures that give us the ideal cover to defend, but also to deceive the rival if we want to attack. Be careful with the upper level that can catch us off guard more times than we might expect.

In zone A we will have different coverages
For its part, zone “B” the limit to plant the bomb is very concentrated forcing us to expose ourselves if we want to make the decision to plant or to deactivate. Will the mini pit with unevenness in the area be decisive?

Zone B will force us to expose ourselves
Finally, the “C” area is the one that is most covered. We have different blind spots that will make us tense up more than we would like. We will only tell you one thing: watch your back.
Zone C is the location where we will have the most blind spots in Lotus
At the same time, between the “A” and “B” area of Lotus we will have the opportunity to unlock a secret tunnel that we can break with any of our weapons and that will help us move much faster between areas. However, when using it we will make a considerable noise that will alert anyone who is nearby.

In the same way, we will have revolving doors that can be activated. For it, we will only have to approach the smallest mechanism and press the “F” key Why move the door? As expected, doing so will make considerable noise.
Using the revolving door or breaking the tunnel entrance will make quite a bit of noise.
And this is all from Lotus, the new VALORANT map! Are you ready?
