What if we told you pure aim and ability in VALORANT<\/em> can only get you so far? If you’re realistic about grinding your way up to Radiant, you should already know this, and you’ve realized that effective in-game communication and map understanding is key to reaching your potential.<\/p>

With that goal in mind, understanding the ins and outs of each map is important, especially on a map like Ascent. On the two sites, control of unique chokepoints with closeable and destructible doors is key, as is control of a long and open mid corridor.<\/p>

Here’s a full guide to the layout of Ascent, including the general and specific callout locations, and some basic tips and strats for attacking and defending each site.<\/p>

Above is the in-game map for Ascent, with most of the basic callouts listed for you. But there are a few site-specific callouts that aren’t included on this overlay that you should be aware of, plus some tips for both attacking and defending each site.<\/p>

These are the basic callout locations you should know for Ascent’s A site. Outside of Generator and the bricks next to Green Box, it’s important to remember that most of these surfaces are spammable, including the divider between Heaven and Hell. There are a few other A-related callouts you should be aware of, though.<\/p>
