VALORANT Player Discovers New Tactic: Sova’s Recon Bolt Can Attach to Skye’s Ultimate Ability
A player in VALORANT recently made a surprising discovery – they found that Sova’s Recon Bolt can attach to Skye’s ultimate ability, resulting in a mobile Recon Bolt that highlights enemies as it moves. This unexpected tactic proved to be advantageous for the team.
The incident occurred when the Sova player fired their Recon Bolt to reveal enemy positions before their teammates made a push into an area. Coincidentally, at the same time, their teammate activated Skye’s ultimate ability, which released three seekers that track enemy players. The Recon Bolt accidentally attached to one of the seekers, thereby creating a mobile Recon Bolt.
Confirmation from Other Players
Confirming the effectiveness of this tactic, other players have reported that the Recon Bolt can also be attached to different abilities like Raze’s Boom Bot. Additionally, it can attach to enemy players or abilities, such as Sova’s Owl Drone. However, it’s important to note that the same strategy doesn’t work with friendly drones, making it an inconsistent approach.
A Valuable But Situational Strategy
While attaching the bolt to Skye’s seekers can be a valuable trick, it is a situational tactic. Most players tend to shoot down the seekers immediately. However, if the seekers are allowed to get close, the bolt can still mark them on the map. It’s worth mentioning that Skye’s ultimate ability is only available a few times per match, further limiting the frequency of this strategy.
Teams looking to utilize this tactic effectively need to push alongside the seeker to take advantage of the marked enemies. However, it’s important to note that this trick may only work once per match, as opponents become aware of it.
Conclusion
Discovering new tactics and synergies between abilities is always exciting in VALORANT, and the attachment of Sova’s Recon Bolt to Skye’s ultimate ability is a prime example. While it may not be a consistent strategy, it can make a significant impact when used strategically.
