Pick it up: Turns out the Spike is actually perfect protection for VALORANT agents
VALORANT players were left gobsmacked today after noticing the Spike could be the best armor of all after one lucky Astra main survived a Chamber ultimate to the chest, all because they were carrying the Spike objective.
In the clip in question, shared on May 31, one Chamber player took a shot directly at an opponent, only to “wallbang” the Spike and hit its carrier through the objective. The Spike itself took all the brunt, meaning there might actually be a benefit to holding the spike—beyond it being a victory condition in the Riot FPS, of course.
