Riot disables VALORANT map after players discover a gamebreaking boost exploit

Riot Games has immediately disabled Split today after it was discovered agents can reach an incredibly powerful location near A bombsite. The VALORANT map was set to feature in Premier matchmaking this week, but has been replaced by Ascent.

The VALORANT team made the announcement on April 23, noting the Split boost was one of two unintended bugs that was just recently identified, with the second being a Cypher Tripwire glitch that showed his traps on teammates’ minimaps even after death. Riot confirmed fixes for both the Split boost and the Cypher trick would ship with VALORANT Patch 8.08, and while Cypher’s Tripwire bug isn’t all that gamebreaking, the Split boost certainly is. “We will be removing Split from the Competitive, Unrated, Premier, Swiftplay, and Spike Rush map pools,” Riot said in a short statement on X (formerly Twitter).
