Valorant: Spike rush - we explain the game mode

In Valorant you have several game modes at your disposal. For quick, entertaining action, you can select spike rush and our guide explains the basics of the mode.

Stormy affair: the spike onslaught is very entertaining.

Regular games last up to 40 minutes, depending on the balance of the teams. The Spike Storm is a deliberate counter to this.

Valorant: These are the rules in the Spike Storm

You should know the following info about the Spike Storm:

• In the Spike Storm, the team that wins four rounds first wins. Thus, there is a maximum of seven rounds.
• The switch between attack and defense occurs after the third round.
• The spike rush is much shorter, on average you can expect five to ten minutes per game. In return, there is less experience, fixed 1,000 points per match.
• The special feature also lies in the purchase phase - this does not exist in the spike rush namely at all. In each round, all players (of both teams) receive the same random weapon. The skills are, with the exception of the Ultimate, charged from the beginning and ready for use.
• In addition, there are numerous special orbs on the map, for example, for team regeneration or more damage.

The Spike Rush is consequently a brisk, sometimes even somewhat chaotic affair. The mode is suitable for players who don't have much time at the moment, or even as an entertaining change from regular play.
