Communication is the key to the Valorant. You should learn basic callouts to help you and your teammates win the rounds. Today’s article will discuss standard calls you can familiarise yourself with. In competitive, delays in callouts or not giving callouts to your teammates can lose you the round and match.
Your team communicates where everyone is going, how to plant on site, approach the round, and what the rotation will be. Proper communication and proper decisions make you a better player. In Valorant, a split-second decision and callout at the given point can change the round.
Every spot on every map has a name for you to call out. You can tell the team where you see the enemies by calling the spot name or pinning it on a map. But memorizing all the spots is not necessary for better calls; you can just pin it on a map to tell the team. Here are some basic universal Valorant callouts which you need to know:
A/B/C Site: On most maps, there is an A and B bomb site. On the Haven map, there is also a C-bomb site. You can callouts on which site you see the enemies and where you are going.
[Bomb Site] Short: You can enter a bomb site in multiple ways these sites have different names on different maps; you can call the shortest entrance a “short” until you learn the real name.
[Bomb Site] Long: You can call the shortest entrance a short and the longer entrance a Long site.
Mid: Most of the maps have a middle lane except the maps except the Fracture and Bind maps. Mid is an important part to control for both attackers and defenders. It is the main point that players use to rotate from one side to another.
Heaven: The highest point on any map is called heaven. Heaven is a very important site for defenders that they can use to stop the attacker from entering. Spilt maps have two heaven points on both A and B sites which you can specify with the bomb site name.
Hell: Hell is always the below area of heaven which you can also call below heaven.
Spawn: Spawn is basically a point where players appear before rounds. There are two spawn points where map one for the attacker and one for the defender. You can specify by calling it on attacker spawn or defender spawn.
Back site: This is the inside spike location closest to the defender spawn
Main: The long area of the map which connects both attacker spawn and a spike site known as Main.
