The Cheating Astra Player in VALORANT
The latest agent to join VALORANT, duelist Iso, has an ultimate ability that forces one-vs-one duels. However, it seems that one Astra player has found a way to cheat the system. A Twitter video highlighted how Astra players can go into Astral Form and place their stars in Iso’s ultimate by going below the map.
By doing this, Astra can turn a regular one-vs-one fight into a two-vs-one scenario, giving Iso an advantage with Nova Pulse or Gravity Well abilities. These abilities can slow down or concuss the enemy, making it difficult for them to win the battle.
So how is Astra able to place her stars in Iso’s ultimate? The answer lies in the fact that the battle takes place below the VALORANT map. Astra can use her Astral Form to navigate to this space and place the stars there.
This exploit allows Astra players to set their stars before a VALORANT round even begins. They can then wait for Iso to use his ultimate and activate all of Astra’s utility, giving her a huge advantage over her opponent.
When this exploit was brought to light, it raised concerns about the potential impact of other abilities on Iso’s ultimate. Some players even wondered if Sova could use his ultimate and hit the zone, although it would be difficult to aim straight down into the floor and guess.
Considering the broken nature of this exploit, it is safe to assume that it is a bug in VALORANT that will be patched soon. Iso’s ultimate is designed to focus on good aim and winning one-on-one duels, but this exploit gives him an unfair advantage.-
