Season 2025 // Act IV kicks off with ruins, Radianite, and raw strategy.
Valorant is stepping into a bold new chapter with the reveal of CORRODE — a gritty battleground set in a decaying French fortress turned Radianite salt mine on Omega Earth. This map is not just a visual shift — it’s a whole new tactical experience.
Old World Meets Omega Tech
CORRODE mixes medieval stonework with industrial chaos — think rusted mining rigs bolted into ancient walls, overgrown passageways, and sharp elevation changes. The contrast between crumbling history and high-stakes tech warfare creates a unique atmosphere — one that feels claustrophobic, raw, and unpredictably beautiful.
Built for Tactical Brilliance
Forget ability spam — CORRODE demands brains over brawn.
- 🛣 3-lane classic layout
- 🎯 2 Spike Sites
- 🧱 Stacked defensive angles & layered chokepoints
- 🔁 Clean rotation paths with high-risk, high-reward flanks
Whether you’re anchoring with Cypher, clutching as Omen, or locking lanes with Chamber — this map rewards discipline and mind games over chaos.
Playstyle Breakdown
- Controllers: Own the tight corners and smoke off key fallback lanes.
- Initiators: Flash with purpose — every push counts.
- Sentinels: Lock down bombsites with surgical precision.
- Duelists: Pick your fights — there’s no space for reckless entry here.
Final Take
CORRODE isn’t just another map — it’s a statement. Riot is pushing for cleaner, skill-based combat, and this fortress-turned-salt-mine is the perfect setting. Expect tense mid-fights, smart utility, and retakes that’ll make your palms sweat.
Season 2025 // Act IV just got serious.
